General Safety Information
WARNING
• Use neutral detergent to clean the chain. Do not use alkali-based or
acid based detergent such as rust cleaners as it may result in
damage and/or failure of the chain.
• Use the reinforced connecting pin only for connecting the narrow
type of chain.
• If connecting pins other than reinforced connecting pins are used, or
if a reinforced connecting pin or tool which is not suitable for the
type of chain is used, sufficient connection force may not be
obtained, which could cause the chain to break or fall off.

length of the chain due to a
change in the number of sprocket
teeth, make the cut at some other
place than the place where the
chain has been joined using a reinforced connecting pin. The chain
will be damaged if it is cut at a place where it has been joined with a
reinforced connecting pin.
• Be sure to check that the
connecting pin protrudes
uniformly from the link surfaces
at both ends after the chain has
been joined.
• Check that the tension of the chain is correct and that the chain is
not damaged. If the tension is too weak or the chain is damaged,
the chain should be replaced. If this is not done, the chain may
break and cause serious injury.
• Obtain and read the service instructions carefully prior to installing
the parts. Loose, worn, or damaged parts may cause injury to the
rider. We strongly recommend only using genuine Shimano
replacement parts.
• Read these Technical Service Instructions carefully, and keep them
in a safe place for later reference.
Note
• If gear shifting operations cannot be carried out smoothly, clean the
derailleur and lubricate all moving parts.
• If the amount of looseness in the links is so great that adjustment is
not possible, you should replace the derailleur.
• You should periodically clean the derailleur and lubricate all moving
parts (mechanism and pulleys).
• If gear shifting adjustment cannot be carried out, check the degree
of parallelism at the rear end of the bicycle. Also check if the cable is
lubricated and if the outer casing is too long or too short.
• If you hear abnormal noise as a result of looseness in a pulley, you
should replace the pulley.
• For smooth operation, use the specified outer casing and the bottom
bracket cable guide.
• Grease the inner cable and the inside of the outer casing before use
to ensure that they slide properly.
• Use a frame with internal cable routing is strongly discouraged as it
has tendencies to impair the SIS shifting function due to its high
cable resistance.
• The tension pulley has a mark which indicates the direction of
rotation. The side with the arrow is the front side.

resulting from normal use.
• For maximum performance we highly recommend Shimano
lubricants and maintenance products.

4. How to use the B-tension adjustment screw
Mount the chain on the smallest chainring and the largest
sprocket, and turn the crank arm backward. Then turn the B-
tension adjustment screw to adjust the guide pulley as close

to the sprocket as possible but not so close that it touches.
Next, set the chain to the smallest sprocket and repeat the

above to make sure that the pulley does not touch the
sprocket.
