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.
After taking up the initial slack in the cable, re-secure to the front
derailleur as shown in the illustration.

Cutting the outer casing
When cutting the outer casing, cut the
opposite end to the end with the marking.
After cutting the outer casing, make the
end round so that the inside of the hole
has a uniform diameter.
2. Connecting and securing the inner cable
Operate the lever 2 or more times to set the lever to the low
position. After opening the cover, place the end of the cable onto
the hook. In this condition, operate the lever 2 or more times to
set the lever to the top position, and then pass the cable through
the outer casing adjustment bolt and pull the cable all the way
through. After this, operate the lever to set it to the low position
and close the cover.

In the case of carbon frames, it may be
necessary to lower the tightening torque in
order to prevent damage to the frame. Please
consult the bicycle or frame manufacturer regarding the
appropriate level of tightening torque for carbon frames.
For triple chainwheel
Adjust and then install the front derailleur as shown in the
illustration. Do not remove the Pro-Set alignment block at this time.

General Safety Information
WARNING
• Off-road bicycle riding and extreme mountain bike riding, represented
in part by North Shore style riding, “trials riding”, or urban stunt riding
is an inherently dangerous activity. There is a risk of being involved in
an accident that can result in a serious injury or even death. It is
strongly recommended that riders wear protective head and body gear
and perform thorough safety checks of their bicycles before riding.
Please remember that you are riding at your own risk and that you
have to consider your experience and your skills very carefully.
• 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 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
• This front derailleur is only for frames with a 150 mm rear dropout end
width and a 57.5 mm front chain line.
• Turn the top adjustment screw to adjust so that the chain does not sit on top of the
bash guard.
• 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.
• This product is not warranted against damage resulting from use such as
jumping while riding or if the bicycle falls over, except if such malfunctions result
from non conforming materials or manufacturing methods.
• 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.
