TO ENSURE SAFETY
WARNING
•
When installing components, be sure to follow the instructions that are given in the instruction manuals.
It is recommended that you use only genuine Shimano parts. If parts such as bolts and nuts become loose or damaged, the bicycle
may suddenly fall over, which may cause serious injury.
In addition, if adjustments are not carried out correctly, problems may occur, and the bicycle may suddenly fall over, which may
cause serious injury.
•
Be sure to wear safety glasses or goggles to protect your eyes while performing maintenance tasks such as replacing parts.
•
After reading the dealer's manual thoroughly, keep it in a safe place for later reference.
Be sure to also inform users of the following:
•
It is important to completely understand the operation of your bicycle's brake system.
Improper use of your bicycle's brake system may result in a loss of control or a fall, which could lead to severe injury. Because
each bicycle may handle differently, be sure to learn the proper braking technique (including brake lever pressure and bicycle
control characteristics) and operation of your bicycle. This can be done by consulting your professional bicycle dealer and the
bicycle's owners manual, and by practicing your riding and braking technique.
•
The brake levers are equipped with a mode switching mechanism to make them compatible with cantilever brakes and roller
brakes or V-BRAKE brakes with power modulator.
If the incorrect mode is selected it may cause either excessive or insufficient braking force to occur, which could
result in dangerous accidents.
Be sure to select the mode in accordance with the instructions given in the table below.

Use the brake levers with mode switching mechanism in the combinations given above.
•
Check that the wheels are fastened securely before riding the bicycle. If the wheels are loose in any way, they may come off
the bicycle and serious injury may result.

For Installation to the Bicycle, and Maintenance:
•
When securing the brake arm to the frame, be sure to use a brake arm clip that matches the size of the chainstay, and securely
tighten them with the clip screw and clip nut to the specified tightening torque.
Use a lock nut with a nylon insert (self-locking nut) for the clip nut. It is recommended that standard Shimano parts be used for
the clip screw, clip nut and brake arm clip.
If the clip nut comes off the brake arm, or if the clip screw or brake arm clip becomes damaged, the brake arm may rotate on
the chainstay and cause the handlebars to jerk suddenly, or the bicycle wheel may lock and the bicycle may fall over, causing
serious injury.
•
When installing the hub to the frame, be sure to install the correct non-turn washers to the left and right sides, and securely
tighten the hub nuts to the specified torques. If the non-turn washers are installed to one side only, or if the hub nuts are not
tightened sufficiently, the non-turn washer may fall out, which could cause the hub axle to rotate and the cassette joint to
turn. This may then cause the handlebars to be accidentally pulled by the shifting cable, and an extremely serious accident
could result.
< Coaster brake hub >
•
When using a fork end with a rear-facing dropout, use the chain adjusters to remove excess slack from the chain.
CAUTION
Be sure to also inform users of the following:
•
Be sure to shift the shifting lever one gear at a time. During shifting, reduce the force being applied to the pedals. If you try to
force operation of the shifting lever or perform multi-shifting while the pedals are being turned strongly, your feet may come
off the pedals and the bicycle may topple over, which could result in serious injury.
Operating the shifting lever to multi-shift to a light gear may also cause the outer casing to spring out of the shifting lever.
This does not affect the capabilities of the shifting lever because the outer casing returns to the original position after shifting.
•
If the brake is used frequently, the area around the brake may become hot. Do not
touch the area around the brake for at least 30 minutes after you finish riding the
bicycle.
Area around the brake
< Coaster brake specifications >
•
Avoid continuous application of the brakes when riding down long slopes, as this will cause the internal brake parts to become
very hot, and this may weaken braking performance. It may also cause a reduction in the amount of brake grease inside the
brake, and this can lead to problems such as abnormally sudden braking.
•
Spin the wheel and confirm that the braking force of the coaster brake is correct.
7
NOTE
Be sure to also inform users of the following:
•
You can shift gears while lightly pedaling, but on rare occasions the pawls and ratchet inside the hub may produce some noise
afterwards as part of normal gear shifting operation.
•
The internal hub is not completely waterproof. Avoid using the hub in places where water might get inside it and do not use
high-pressure water to clean the hub, otherwise the internal mechanism may rust.
•
Do not disassemble the hub. If you need to disassemble it, consult the dealer where you made a purchase.
•
All of the following phenomena occur due to the internal gear-shifting structure and are not the failure of the internal
components.

Products are not guaranteed against natural wear and deterioration from normal use and aging.
•
For maximum performance we highly recommend Shimano lubricants and maintenance products.
< Coaster brake specifications >
•
If the wheels are not rotating smoothly, you need to replace or grease the brake shoes. Consult the dealer where you made a
purchase.

For Installation to the Bicycle, and Maintenance:
•
The cassette joint should only be used with sprockets from 16T to 23T.
•
It is recommended that the chain ring of the front be set to the following gear ratio.
7, 8-gear: about 2.1
5-gear: about 2.0
Example) In the case of 26 inch wheels
Front 36T 38T 46T
Rear
7, 8-gear 16T 18T 22T
5-gear 18T 19T 23T
•
In order to maintain proper performance of the product, it is recommended that you ask the place where you purchased the
bicycle or your nearest Pro shop to carry out maintenance such as greasing the internal parts about once every two years from
the first time of use (once about every 5,000 km if the bicycle is used very frequently). It is also recommended that you use the
Shimano internal hub grease or lubrication kit when carrying out maintenance. If the special grease or lubrication kit is not
used, problems such as gear shifting malfunction may occur.
•
If the wheel becomes stiff and difficult to turn, you should lubricate it with grease.
•
You should periodically wash the chainrings in a neutral detergent. In addition, cleaning the chain with neutral detergent and
lubricating it can be an effective way of extending the useful life of the chainrings and the chain.
•
If the chain keeps coming off the sprockets during use, replace the sprockets and the chain.
< Coaster brake specifications >
•
Use a wheel with 3x or 4x spoke lacing. Wheels with radial lacing cannot be used because the spokes and the wheel can be
damaged when applying the brakes and brake noise can be generated.
•
If the wheel becomes stiff and difficult to turn, you should replace the brake shoes or lubricate with grease.
•
Use only the dedicated grease for the brake shoes. When using a lubrication kit, remove the brake shoes to avoid contact with
the oil.
The actual product may differ from the illustration because this manual is intended chiefly to explain the procedures for
using the product.
