General Adjustments

These instructions describe most adjustments that the shift system may need. If you can not adjust
the shift system using these instructions, have a bicycle service shop do the adjustments that are
needed.
The front derailleur has two adjusting screws. The "low" adjusting screw, sometimes marked "L",
limits how far the front derailleur and chain can move toward the frame. The "high" adjusting
screw, sometimes marked "H", limits how far the front derailleur
and chain can move away from the frame.
1. Put the "low" adjusting screw in the correct position as
follows:
- Shift the chain onto the third largest rear sprocket and
the smallest front sprocket
- Loosen nut of the cable clamp [16]
