WARNING
•
Be sure to follow the instructions provided in the manuals when installing the product.
Only use SHIMANO genuine parts. If a component or replacement part is incorrectly assembled or adjusted, it can lead to component failure and cause
the rider to lose control and crash.
•
Wear approved eye protection while performing maintenance tasks such as replacing components.
Be sure to also inform users of the following:
•
Before riding the bicycle, check that the wheels are secured. If the wheels are loose in any way, they may come off the bicycle and cause serious
injury.
• If the quick release lever is on the same side as the disc brake rotor, confirm that it does not
interfere with the disc brake rotor. Otherwise, the bicycle may fall forward, and serious injury
may result.
If the quick release lever interferes with the disc brake rotor, stop use and contact the place of
purchase or a distributor.

• Make sure that the disc brake rotor has cooled down before operating the quick release lever. Failure to follow these instructions may result in burns
or injury.
• Make sure to properly install the quick release hub onto the bicycle. Otherwise the wheel may detach from the bicycle while riding, resulting in serious
injury.
• Make sure to read the manual for the quick release lever.
For installation to the bicycle, and maintenance:
• When installing the front wheel to the front suspension fork, always be sure to follow the directions given in the manual for the front suspension
fork. The securing method and tightening torque for the front wheel both vary depending on the type of front suspension fork being used. If the
instructions are not followed, the front wheel may fall out of the front fork and serious injury may occur. When the front wheel is tightened onto the
front suspension fork in accordance with the tightening torque in the manual, the front wheel's rotation may become stiff; however, the instructions
must always be followed.
Quick release type
• Use a front fork which is equipped with a wheel retention mechanism.
