General Safety Information
Technical Service Instructions
SI-5E90D
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.
• Be careful not to let the cuffs of your clothes get caught in the chain while riding, otherwise you may fall off the bicycle.
• 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.
• When the chain is in the position shown in the illustration, the chain may contact the front chainrings or front derailleur and generate noise. If the noise is a problem, shift the chain onto the next-larger rear sprocket or the one after.
• If attaching the FD-3304/3304-A (brazed-on type) to a seat tube with a thickness of more than 31.8 mm, the derailleur may come into contact with the seat tube and interfere with normal gear shifting performance.
• 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.
• This front derailleur is for triple front chainwheel use only. It cannot be used with the double front chainwheel, as the shifting points do not match.
• For the chain, be sure to use only the Shimano narrow type chain. The wide type chain cannot be used.
• 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.

Be sure to follow the sequence described below.
1. Low adjustment
First remove the Pro-Set alignment block. Next, set so that the clearance between the chain guide inner plate and the chain is 0 - 0.5 mm.
2. Connection and securing of cable
While pulling the inner cable, tighten the wire fixing bolt with a 5 mm allen key to secure the cable.
3. Top adjustment
Set so that the clearance between the chain guide outer plate and the chain is 0-0.5 mm.

If the chain falls to the crank side
If shifting is difficult from the intermediate chainring to the largest chainring
If shifting is difficult from the intermediate chainring to the smallest chainring
If there is interference between the chain and the front derailleur inner plate at the largest chainring
If there is interference between the chain and the front derailleur outer plate at the largest chainring
If the intermediate chainring is skipped when shifting from the largest chainring
If there is interference between the chain and front derailleur inner plate when the rear sprocket is shifted to the largest sprocket when the chainwheel is at the intermediate chainring position.
If the chain falls to the bottom bracket side.
Tighten the top adjustment screw clockwise (about 1/4 turn).
Loosen the top adjustment screw counterclockwise (about 1/8 turn).
Loosen the low adjustment screw counterclockwise (about 1/4 turn).
Tighten the top adjustment screw clockwise (about 1/8 turn).
