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:

•

If the gripping force between the shoes and the pedals (the force which stops shoes from slipping sideways) is insufficient,
remove spacers to increase the force. In that case, first raise your feet from the pedals and then slide them sideways to
disengage your feet from the pedals. Otherwise, you may fall and be seriously injured.

•

With one foot firmly on the ground, practice engaging and disengaging the other foot from the pedal repeatedly until you
become used to the operation. If you cannot get used to this operation, use the product with spacers installed.

•

Because the pins are long, they may cause injury if they come into direct contact with your skin. Be sure to wear clothing and
protective gear which is suitable for the way in which the bicycle is to be used.

•

Be sure to attach reflectors to the bicycle when riding at night. Do not continue riding the bicycle if the reflectors are dirty or
damaged. Otherwise, it becomes more difficult for oncoming vehicles to see you.

NOTE

Be sure to also inform users of the following:

•

Check that there is no looseness in any joints or connections before riding the bicycle.

•

If pedaling performance does not feel normal, check this once more.

•

Be sure to retighten the crank arms and pedals at periodic intervals at the place of purchase or a bicycle dealer.

•

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.

For Installation to the Bicycle, and Maintenance:

•
