IMPORTANT NOTICE
IMPORTANT NOTICE
• This dealer’s manual is intended primarily for use by professional bicycle mechanics.
Users who are not professionally trained for bicycle assembly should not attempt to install the components themselves using the
dealer’s manuals.
If any part of the information on the manual is unclear to you, do not proceed with the installation. Instead, contact your place
of purchase or a local bicycle dealer for their assistance.
• Make sure to read all instruction manuals included with the product.
• Do not disassemble or modify the product other than as stated in the information contained in this dealer’s manual.
• All dealer’s manuals and instruction manuals can be viewed on-line on our website (http://si.shimano.com).
• Please observe the appropriate rules and regulations of the country, state or region in which you conduct your business as a
dealer.
For safety, be sure to read this dealer’s manual thoroughly before use, and follow it for correct use.
The following instructions must be observed at all times in order to prevent personal injury and physical damage to equipment and surroundings.
The instructions are classified according to the degree of danger or damage which may occur if the product is used incorrectly.
DANGER
Failure to follow the instructions will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Failure to follow the instructions could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Failure to follow the instructions could cause personal injury or physical damage to equipment and surroundings.

TO ENSURE SAFETY
TO ENSURE SAFETY
WARNING
• Be sure to follow the instructions provided in the manuals when installing the product.
It is recommended to use genuine Shimano parts only.
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:
•
Intervals between maintenance depend on the use and
riding circumstances. Clean the chain with an appropri
ate chain cleaner regularly. Never use alkali based or
acid based solvents, such as rust cleaners. If those
solvents are used the chain might break and cause
serious injury.
• Check the chain for any damage (deformation or
crack), skipping, or other abnormalities such as unintended gear shifting. If any problems are found, consult a dealer or an agency. The chain may break, and
you may fall.
For Installation to the Bicycle, and Maintenance:
• Use an OT-SP sealed outer casing and cable guide for
smooth operation.
• Grease the inner cable and the inside of the outer
casing before use to ensure that they slide properly.
Do not let dust adhere to the inner cable. If the grease
on the inner cable is wiped off, the application of SIS
SP41 grease (Y04180000) is recommended.
• The end of the outer casing which has the aluminum
cap should be on the derailleur side.
1
(A) (B)
1 Derailleur side
(A) Aluminum cap
(B) Cap with long tongue
• If gear shifting adjustments cannot be carried out,
check that the rear fork ends are aligned. Check whether the cable is lubricated and clean, and if the outer
-
casing is too long or short.
• Periodically clean the derailleur and lubricate all moving parts (mechanism and pulleys).
• Some tension pulleys have an arrow on them to indicate the direction of rotation. In such cases, install the
pulley so that the arrow is pointing clockwise when
seen from the outer side of the derailleur.
• If you hear abnormal noise as a result of looseness in a
pulley, you should replace the pulley.
NOTE
Be sure to also inform users of the following:
• If gear shifting operations cannot be carried out
smoothly, clean the derailleur and lubricate all moving
parts.
• If looseness in the links is so great that gear shifting
adjustments cannot be made, replace the derailleur.
• The gears should be periodically washed with a neutral
detergent. In addition, cleaning the chain with neutral
detergent and lubricating it can be an effective way of
extending the life of the gears and the chain.
• 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.
The actual product may differ from the illustration
because this manual is intended mainly to explain the
procedures for using the product.

NOTE
The rear derailleur plate assembly is equipped with a pin

When passing the chain through the rear derailleur, pass
it to the rear derailleur body from the side of the pin/
plate for preventing chain derailment as shown in the
illustration.
If the chain is not passed through the correct position,
damage may be caused to the chain or rear derailleur.

CAUTION
Be careful not to deform the B axle stop ring and make it

inner diameter of the stop ring is widened to Ø10.15mm
or larger during assembly, the stop ring is deformed.)
Check that there is no gap between the stop ring and the
diameter of the B axle after assembly.
If there is any gap, the stop ring is deformed.
This may cause the B axle to come off and you may fall
down. Replace the stop ring with a new one.
