WARNING
To ensure safe riding
•
Do not give too much of your attention to the cycle computer
display while riding, otherwise accidents may result.
•
Check that the wheels are securely installed to the bicycle
before commencing riding. If the wheels are not securely
installed, the bicycle may fall over and serious injury may result.
•
If riding a power-assisted bicycle, make sure that you are
fully familiar with the starting-off characteristics of the
bicycle before riding it on roads with several vehicle lanes
and pedestrian footpaths. If the bicycle starts off
suddenly, accidents may result.
•
Check that the bicycle lights illuminate before riding at night.
Using the product safely
•
Be sure to remove the battery and charging cable before
wiring or attaching parts to the bicycle. Otherwise, an
electric shock may result.
•
When charging the battery while it is installed on the
bicycle, do not move the bicycle. The power plug for the
battery charger may come loose and not be fully inserted
into the electrical outlet, resulting in risk of fire.
•
When installing this product, be sure to follow the
instructions given in the user's manual. Furthermore, it is
recommended that you use only genuine Shimano parts at
these times. If bolts and nuts are left loosened or the
product is damaged, the bicycle may suddenly fall over and
serious injury may result.
•
Do not disassemble the product. Disassembling it may cause
injury to persons.
•
After reading the user's manual carefully, keep it in a safe
place for later reference.
3
Handling the battery
•
If any liquid leaking from the battery gets into your eyes,
immediately wash the affected area thoroughly with
clean water such as tap water without rubbing your eyes,
and seek medical advice immediately. If this is not done,
the battery liquid may damage your eyes.
•
Do not recharge the battery in places with high humidity
or outdoors. Doing so may result in electric shock.
•
Do not insert or remove the plug while it is wet. If this is not
observed, electric shocks may result. If there is water leaking
out of the plug, dry it thoroughly before inserting it.
•
If the battery does not become fully charged after 6 hours of
charging, immediately unplug the battery from the outlet to
stop charging, and contact the place of purchase. Doing so
may cause overheating, bursting, or ignition of the battery.
•
Do not use the battery if it has any noticeable scratches
or other external damage. Doing so may cause bursting,
overheating or problems with operation.
•
The operating temperature ranges for the battery are
given below. Do not use the battery in temperatures
outside these ranges. If the battery is used or stored in
temperatures outside these ranges, fire, injury or
problems with operation may occur.
1. During discharge: –10 °C - 50 °C
2. During charging: 0 °C - 40 °C
Cleaning
•
The frequency of maintenance will vary depending on the riding
conditions. Periodically clean the chain using an appropriate chain
cleaner. Do not use alkaline or acidic cleaning agents for removing
rust under any circumstances. If such cleaning agents are used,
they may damage the chain and serious injury may result.
CAUTION
To ensure safe riding
•
Observe the instructions in the user's manual for the
bicycle, in order to ride safely.
Using the product safely
•
Periodically check the battery charger and adapter, particularly
the cord, plug, and case, for any damage. If the charger or
adapter is broken, do not use it until it has been repaired.
•
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless

use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
•
Do not allow children to play near the product.
Handling the battery
•
Do not leave the battery in a place exposed to direct
sunlight, inside a vehicle on a hot day, or other hot
places. This may result in battery leakage.
•
If any leaked fluid gets on your skin or clothes, wash it
off immediately with clean water. The leaked fluid may
damage your skin.
•
Store the battery in a safe place out of the reach of
infants and pets.
Cleaning
•
If any malfunctions or other problems occur, contact the
place of purchase.
•
Never attempt to modify the system yourself, as it may

dealer.
•
The Product is designed to be fully waterproof to
withstand wet weather riding conditions. However, do
not deliberately place them into water.
•
Do not clean the bicycle in a high-pressure wash. If water
gets into any of the components, operating problems or
rusting may result.
•
Do not turn the bicycle upside down. The cycle computer
or the shifting switch may get damaged.
•
Handle the product carefully, and avoid subjecting it to
any strong shocks.
•
Although the bicycle still functions as a normal bicycle even
when the battery is removed, the light does not turn on if
it is connected to the electric power system. Be aware that
using the bicycle under these conditions will be considered
non-observance of the road traffic laws in Germany.
•
When charging the battery while it is mounted on the
bicycle, be careful of the following:
-
When charging, make sure there is no water on the
charging port or the charger plug.
-
Ensure that the battery is locked into the battery
mount before charging.
-
Do not remove the battery from the battery mount
while charging.
-
Do not ride with the charger mounted.
-
Close the charging port cap when not charging.

Handling the battery
•
When you carry a power-assisted bicycle in a car, remove
the battery from the bicycle and place the bicycle on a
stable surface in the car.
•
Before connecting the battery, make sure that there is no
buildup of water or dirt in the connector where the
battery will be connected.
•
The use of a genuine Shimano battery is recommended. If
using a battery from another manufacturer, make sure to
carefully read the instruction manual for the battery
before use.

•
Large-capacity battery allows you to enjoy long rides.
•
Intelligent [WALK] assist with SEIS RD provides powerful assistance when walking the bicycle across uneven terrain such as
rocky areas.
Q factor
Riding the bicycle
1.
Turn on the power.
•
Do not place your feet on the pedals when turning the power on. A system error may result.
•
Power cannot be turned on while charging.
2.
Select your preferred assist mode.
3.
Assistance will start when the pedals start turning.
4.
Change the assist mode in accordance with the riding conditions.
5.
Turn the power off when parking the bicycle.
•
Do not place your feet on the pedals when turning the power off. A system error may result.
6
Assist mode
You can select an assist mode for each particular application.
BOOST TRAIL ECO
Use when powerful assistance is
required, such as when riding up steep
uphill slopes. This mode is designed
for use on steep inclines and
precipitous mountains. When riding
on level public roads with traffic
lights, the assistance provided may be
excessive, in which case, switch to
[ECO] mode.
Use when an intermediate level of
assistance is needed, such as when you
want to enjoy riding comfortably on a
gentle slope or level ground.
Use when you want to enjoy long
distance riding on level ground. When
pedaling is not very strong, the
amount of assistance is reduced and
energy consumption is lessened.
When the battery level is running low, the level of assistance is lowered to increase the traveling range.
OFF
This mode does not provide power assistance when the power is turned on. Since there is no power consumption
associated with the power assistance, it is useful for reducing battery consumption when the battery is running low.
WALK
This mode is particularly useful when walking the bicycle, taking the bicycle out up an incline or when it is bearing a
heavy load. It is also useful when walking the bicycle across uneven terrain such as rocky areas.
The intelligent walk assist function activates when an electric shifting system such as XTR, DEORE XT SEIS is connected.
System individually supplies assist power to detect gear position.
"Intelligent walk assist" support rider more torque output in steep climb condition in lower side gears.
"Quick walk assist" function works quickly by holding down SW from any mode.
