WARNING
– To avoid serious injuries:
Brake operation Improper use of your bicycle's brake system
may result in a loss of control or an accident, which could lead to
a severe injury. Because each bicycle may handle differently, be
sure to learn the proper braking technique (including brake lever
pressure and bicycle control characteristics) for your bicycle.
Consult your bicycle dealer and the bicycle's owners manual, and
practice your riding and braking technique.
Front brakes Brakes designed for use as rear brakes should not
be used as front brakes.
Shimano parts Obtain and read the service instructions carefully
prior to installing the parts. Loose, worn, or damaged parts may
cause serious injury to the rider.
We strongly recommend only using genuine Shimano
replacement parts.
CAUTION
– To avoid serious injuries:
Power modulator The power modulator is a device that makes it
easier to control braking by increasing the cable stroke at the brake
lever within a certain constant range of braking force.
If the effective operating range of the power modulator is
exceeded, the brake will operate as a normal V-Brake (sensitive
and powerful). In that case, the brakes may operate more
powerfully than intended and may cause the wheel to lock up.
Therefore it is essential that you fully understand and test the
performance of the power modulator before use.
The power modulator is not equipped with a function to
prevent the wheel from locking up.
