Attaching the heat shrinking tubes
Use an industrial-use dryer to shrink
the tubes from the middles toward the
ends, while trying to expel as much
air as possible.
Heat the tubes until they become
transparent and until melted adhesive
is protruding from both ends.
• If using an industrial-use dryer,
make sure that no burning from the
hot air occurs.
Note
• Do not heat the tubes any more than necessary.
• The heat shrinking tubes are important components for waterproofing,
preventing the connectors from pulling out and strengthening the housing
openings, so do not use anything other than genuine parts.
• Because the tubes contain adhesive, do not reuse the electric cables
after this process has been carried out. Use new cables if carrying out
any replacements.

Connecting the electric cables
Connecting to junction B
Insert the connector coming from junction (A) into the connector coming
from junction (B) so that the triangular marks (
d) on the connectors are
aligned with each other. Push the connectors together until they connect
with a click. Because of the waterproof structure of the connectors, they do
not fit together rigidly. Be sure to push them together until they connect
with a click.
Routing the electric cables
There are three methods of installation that can be used depending on the
holes in the handlebars.
• Hole size: Width 7 mm / length 21 mm or more
• Secure the switch junctions with cable ties.
Connector from SM-EW79A-I
junction (A)
Connector from junction (B)
Use the accessory cable ties to secure junction (A) to the outer casing of
the brake cable. In addition, set the connector of junction (A) onto the outer
casing of the rear brake cable as shown in the illustration.
* Run an excess length of cable along the handlebars and secure it to
the handlebars with cable ties.
• Install the battery in order to check the connections. Operate the shifting
switch and check that the front derailleur and rear derailleur both operate.
• Be sure to operate shifting switch (Y) for the left lever once or more to set
the front derailleur to the large chainring position for greater ease when
installing the chain. After this, be sure to remove the battery.
• In addition, use the wide end of the TL-EW01 special tool when
disconnecting the connectors. If you pull too firmly on the connectors,
problems with operation may occur. Insert the special tool so that the flat
side is facing toward the outer casing holder, and then tilt it so as to pull
out the connector.
1. When connecting the connectors of the various cables, insert the
connectors into the heat shrinking tube.
2. The cables have colored tubes attached to them for identification
purposes, so when connecting the cables, be sure to match the colors
correctly while referring to the cable connection diagram.
Note:
• Check that there are no foreign particles inside the connectors.
• Check that the directions of the connectors are correct and that they
are securely inserted into the opposing terminals and are not raised
up.
3. After connecting the connectors, be sure to check that operation is
correct before processing the heat shrinking tube.
