General Safety Information
WARNING
• Obtain, read and carefully service instructions when installing parts.
A loose, worn, or damaged parts may cause injury to the rider.
We strongly recommend that only genuine Shimano replacement
parts be used.
• Read these Technical Service Instructions carefully, and keep them in
a safe place for later reference.
Note
• Grease the inner cable and the inside of the outer casing before use
to ensure that they slide properly.
• Because the high cable resistance of a frame with internal cable
routing would impair the SIS function, this type of frame should not
be used.
• Operation of the levers related to gear shifting should be made only
when the front chainwheel is turning.
• Use an outer casing which still has some length to spare even when
the handlebars are turned all the way to both sides. Furthermore,
check that the shifting lever does not touch the bicycle frame when
the handlebars are turned all the way.
• Parts are not guaranteed against natural wear or deterioration
resulting from normal use.
• For maximum performance we highly recommend Shimano lubricants
and maintenance products.
• For any questions regarding methods of installation, adjustment,
maintenance or operation, please contact a professional bicycle
dealer.
