General Safety Information
WARNING
• Be careful not to let the cuffs of your clothes get caught in the chain
while riding, otherwise you may fall off the bicycle.
• Obtain and read the service instructions carefully prior to installing
the parts. Loose, worn or damaged parts may cause the bicycle to fall
over and serious injury may occur as a result. 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
• If gear shifting operations do not feel smooth, wash 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.
• For smooth operation, use the specified outer casing and the bottom
bracket cable guide.
• 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.

SIS Adjustment
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.

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).
If there is interference between
the chain and the front derailleur

If there is interference between
the chain and the front derailleur

Tighten the top adjustment screw
clockwise (about 1/8 turn).
Loosen the top adjustment screw
counterclockwise
(about 1/8 turn).
If the intermediate chainring is
skipped when shifting from the
largest chainring.
Loosen the outer casing

counterclockwise (1 or 2 turns).
If the chain falls to the bottom
bracket side.
Tighten the outer casing

(1 or 2 turns).
Tighten the low adjustment screw
clockwise (about 1/2 turn).
5. Troubleshooting chart
After completion of steps 1 - 4, move the shifting lever to check
the shifting. (This also applies if shifting becomes difficult during
use.)

3. Top adjustment
Set so that the clearance between the
chain guide outer plate and the chain is
0 - 0.5 mm.
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 shifting is difficult from the
intermediate chainring to the
largest chainring.
4. Adjustment of the intermediate chainring
When carrying out adjustment, set the chain to
the largest sprocket, and at the front, set the
chain to the intermediate chainring. Adjust using
the outer casing adjustment barrel so that the
clearance between the chain guide inner plate
and the chain is 0 - 0.5 mm.
