TO ENSURE SAFETY

• Be sure to follow the instructions provided in the manuals when installing the product.

It is recommended that you use SHIMANO genuine parts. If bolts and nuts become loose or damaged, the bicycle may suddenly fall over, result in a

serious injury.

•

Wear approved eye protection while performing maintenance tasks such as replacing components.

Be sure to also inform users of the following:

• Because each bicycle may handle slightly differently depending on the model, be sure to learn the proper braking technique (including brake lever

pressure and bicycle control characteristics) and operation of your bicycle. Improper use of your bicycle's brake system may result in a loss of control,

which could lead to serious injury due to a fall or collision.

• Check that the wheels are fastened securely before riding the bicycle. You may fall or collide and be seriously injured.

Brake

• Do not apply the front brake too strongly. If you do so, the front wheel may lock and the bicycle may fall forward, and serious injury may result.

• Because the required braking distance will be longer during wet weather, reduce your speed and apply the brakes early and gently. You may fall or

collide and be seriously injured.

• A wet road surface may cause tires to lose traction; therefore, to avoid this, reduce your speed and apply the brakes early and gently. If the tires lose

traction, it may result in serious injury due to a fall or collision.

Disc brake

• Please use extra caution to keep your fingers away from the rotating disc brake rotor. The disc brake rotor is sharp

enough to inflict severe injury to your fingers if caught within the openings of moving rotor.

• Do not touch the calipers or disc brake rotor while riding or immediately after dismounting from the bicycle. The calipers and disc brake rotor will

become hot when the brakes are operated, so you may get burned if you touch them.

• Do not allow any oil or grease to get onto the disc brake rotor and brake pads. Riding the bicycle with oil or grease on the disc brake rotor and brake

pads may prevent the brakes from operating and result in serious injury due to a fall or collision.

• Check the thickness of the brake pads and do not use them if they have a thickness of 0.5 mm or less. Doing

otherwise may prevent the brakes from operating and result in serious injury due to a fall or collision.

• Do not use the disc brake rotor if it is cracked or warped. The disc brake rotor may break, and result in serious injury due to a fall.

• Do not use the disc brake rotor if its thickness is 1.5 mm or less. Also do not use it if the aluminum surface becomes visible. The disc brake rotor may

break, and result in serious injury due to a fall or collision.
