TO ENSURE SAFETY
NOTICE
Be sure to also inform users of the following:
• Be sure to rotate the crank when carrying out any operations which are related to gear shifting.
• The connectors are small and waterproof, so do not connect and disconnect electric wires except when necessary. Doing so may impair the
waterproofing.
• Be careful not to get water into the E-TUBE port area.
• The components are designed to be fully waterproofed to withstand wet weather riding conditions; however, do not deliberately place them into
water.
• Do not clean the bicycle with a high-pressure washer. If water gets into any of the components, operating problems or rusting may result.
• Handle the product carefully, and avoid subjecting it to any strong shocks.
• Do not use thinners or similar substances to clean the products. Such substances may damage the surfaces.
• The most up-to-date information on software for this product is available on the SHIMANO website.
• Products are not guaranteed against natural wear and deterioration from normal use and aging.
• For maximum performance we highly recommend SHIMANO lubricants and maintenance products.

SG-S7051-11 / SG-S7051-8
• The internal geared hub is not completely waterproof. Avoid using the hub in places where water might get inside and do not use high-pressure
water to clean the hub, otherwise the internal mechanism may rust.
• You can shift gears while pedaling, but on rare occasions the pawls and ratchet inside the hub may produce some noise afterwards as part of normal
gear shifting operation.
• The internal geared hub has a built-in mechanism to support shifting, and when this support mechanism operates during shifting, noise or vibration
may occur. Depending on gear position, gear-shifting may feel different.
Noise may also occur if the gear is positioned at 5 to 8 (SG-S7051-8) or 7 to 11 (SG-S7051-11), when the crank is turned backward or when the bicycle is
pushed backward.
All of these phenomena occur due to the built-in gear-shifting structure and are not the failure of the internal components.
