TO ENSURE SAFETY

• The brake levers are equipped with a mode switching mechanism to make them compatible with cantilever brakes and roller brakes or

V-BRAKE brakes with power modulator. (BL-C6010 / BL-IM60-A is compatible with roller brakes or V-BRAKE brakes with power modulator.

Please note that it is not compatible with cantilever brakes.)

If the incorrect mode is selected it may cause either excessive or insufficient braking force to occur, which could result in dangerous accidents.

Be sure to select the mode in accordance with the instructions given in the table below.

• When installing components, be sure to follow the instructions that are given in the instruction manuals. It is recommended that you use only

genuine Shimano parts. If parts such as bolts and nuts become loose or damaged, the bicycle may suddenly fall over, which may cause serious

injury.

• Always make sure that the front and rear brakes are working correctly before you ride the bicycle.

• If the road surface is wet, the tires will skid more easily. If the tires skid, you may fall off the bicycle. To avoid this, reduce your speed and apply

the brakes early and gently.

• Check that the wheels are fastened securely before riding the bicycle. If the wheels are loose in any way, they may come off the bicycle and

cause serious injury.

• After reading the dealer's manual thoroughly, keep it in a safe place for later reference.

For Installation to the Bicycle, and Maintenance:

• When securing the brake arm to the frame, be sure to use a brake arm clip that matches the size of the chainstay, and securely tighten them

with the clip screw and clip nut to the speciﬁed tightening torque.

Use a lock nut with a nylon insert (self-locking nut) for the clip nut. It is recommended that standard Shimano parts be used for the clip screw,

clip nut and brake arm clip.

If the clip nut comes off the brake arm, or if the clip screw or brake arm clip becomes damaged, the brake arm may rotate on the chainstay and

cause the handlebars to jerk suddenly, or the bicycle wheel may lock and the bicycle may fall over, causing serious injury.

• Depending on the product, the tire diameter of the compatible wheel may differ. Be sure to check the compatible size.

If an incompatible size is used, the wheels may lock and you may lose balance and fall off the bicycle.
