General Safety Information
WARNING
• 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.
• Obtain and read the service instructions carefully prior to installing
the parts.
If adjustments are not carried out correctly, the chain may come off
and this may cause you to fall off the bicycle which could result in
serious injury.
• Read these Technical Service Instructions carefully, and keep them in
a safe place for later reference.
Note
• For smooth operation, use the specified outer casing and 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.
• Operation of the levers related to gear shifting should be made only
when the front chainwheel is turning.
• Use an outer casing which still has some length to spare even when
the handlebars are turned all the way to both sides. Furthermore,
check that the shifting lever does not touch the bicycle frame when
the handlebars are turned all the way.
• A special grease is used for the gear shifting cable (SIS-SP41). Do
not use DURA-ACE grease or other types of grease, otherwise they
may cause deterioration in gear shifting performance.
• Do not disassemble the indicator and shifting lever unit, as this may
damage them or cause mis-operation.
• Parts are not guaranteed against natural wear or deterioration
resulting from normal use.
• For maximum performance we highly recommend Shimano lubricants
and maintenance products.
• For any questions regarding methods of installation, adjustment,
maintenance or operation, please contact a professional bicycle
dealer.

Mounting the shifting lever
Use a handlebar grip with a maximum outer diameter of 32 mm.
• Install the shifting lever in a position where it will not obstruct brake
operation and gear shifting operation.
• Do not use in a combination which causes brake operation to be
obstructed.
• In the case of carbon handlebars, it may be necessary to lower the
tightening torque in order to prevent damage to the handlebar.
Please consult the bicycle or handlebar manufacturer regarding
the appropriate level of tightening torque for carbon handlebars.
Gear shifting operation
Both lever (A) and lever (B) always return to the initial position when they are released after shifting.
When operating one of the levers, always be sure to turn the crank arm at the same time.
< Front >
To shift from a small chainring to a larger chainring
When lever (A) is pressed once, there is a shift of one step from
a small chainring to a larger chainring.
Lever (A) initial position
Example:
from intermediate chainring
to largest chainring.
To shift from a large chainring to a smaller chainring
When lever (B) is pressed once, there is a shift of one step from
a large chainring to a smaller chainring.
Example:
from largest chainring
to intermediate chainring.
Lever (B)
When lever (B) is operated, there is one click where trimming
(the noise prevention mechanism) engages, and a second
stronger click when the gear shift stroke is completed. After
trimming, the next push will complete the gear shift stroke.

Trimming (noise prevention operation)
If the chain is on the large front chainwheel and the larger rear
sprocket, the chain will rub in the front derailleur plate,
producing a characteristic noise. When this happens, press
lever (B) lightly (to the point where it clicks); this causes the
front derailleur to move slightly towards the smaller chainwheel,
thereby eliminating the noise.
