General Safety Information
SI-4X90G-002
WARNING
Understand how the locking mechanism works before you
ride.
Before riding, place one foot on the ground and practice
engaging and disengaging from the pedal a number of times
until you get used to it.
Practice riding on smooth ground first.
Before riding, adjust the retention force of the pedal to your
liking.
(Refer to the adjustment instructions for the pedal set.)
Make sure that mud, dirt, and foreign objects don't build up
in the pedal-cleat interface area.
If you do not maintain both your shoes and cleats in good
condition, release and engagement to the pedals could
become unpredictable or difficult, which could result in
severe injury.
SPD shoes may not provide adequate traction for walking on
wet and/or smooth surfaces. Use extreme caution when
walking on such surfaces in order to avoid a serious injury.
Select the right-sized shoes for your feet, and be sure to
fasten the loop & hook fasteners when using.
Refer to the instructions supplied with your SPD pedals.
Obtain and read the service instructions carefully prior
to installing the parts. Loose, worn, or damaged parts may
cause serious injury to the rider.
We strongly recommend only using genuine Shimano
replacement parts.
Heat molding of the upper and inner sole must only be
carried out by a properly-authorized Shimano footwear
dealer. If the heat molding is carried out incorrectly, burns or
fire may result.
Check that there is no adhesive peeling off from around the
soles before using them.
If you have any questions regarding methods of installation,
adjustment, maintenance or operation, please contact a
professional bicycle dealer.
Read these Technical Service Instructions carefully, and
keep them in a safe place for later reference.
– To avoid serious injuries:
SPD-SL Custom-Fit
Shoes
These heat-molded custom-fit shoes can be used as they are without
heat molding, but any heat molding of the upper and inner sole must
only be carried out by a properly-authorized Shimano footwear
dealer.

BE SURE TO READ AND FOLLOW THE ABOVE
WARNINGS CAREFULLY.
IF THE WARNINGS ARE NOT FOLLOWED, YOUR
SHOES MAY NOT COME OUT OF THE PEDALS WHEN
YOU INTEND OR THEY MAY COME OUT
UNEXPECTEDLY OR ACCIDENTALLY, AND SEVERE
INJURY MAY RESULT.
NOTE:
Do not use the shoes for walking without the cleats attached.
Do not step on sharp pointed objects or subject the shoes to
shock, as the soles are made of special material.
Do not use washing machines or dryers to clean the shoes.
Allow your shoes to air-dry in a shaded area. Do not expose
your shoes to strong direct sunlight.
Do not apply heat with a dryer or similar appliance.
Do not leave the SPD shoes exposed to temperatures of 50°C
or higher, otherwise the shoes may become warped by heat.
Parts are not guaranteed against natural wear or deterioration
resulting from normal use.
Note:
When installing the cleats, use the cleat mounting bolts and the cleat
washers that are provided with pedals manufactured by Shimano.
If you use any other cleat mounting bolts, it may damage the cleats
and cause problems with correct installation.
Cleat replacement
Cleats wear out over time and should be replaced periodically. Cleats
should be replaced when it becomes difficult to release, or it starts to
release with much less effort than the when it was in new condition.
Please note: Specifications are subject to change for improvement without notice. (English)
