TO ENSURE SAFETY
WARNING
Be sure to follow the instructions provided in the manuals when installing the product.
It is recommended to use genuine Shimano parts only. If parts such as bolts and nuts become loose or damaged, the bicycle
may suddenly fall over, which may cause serious injury.
In addition, if adjustments are not carried out correctly, problems may occur, and the bicycle may suddenly fall over, which
may cause serious injury.
Be sure to wear safety glasses or goggles to protect your eyes while performing maintenance tasks such as replacing
parts.
After reading the dealer's manual thoroughly, keep it in a safe place for later reference.
NOTE
Be sure to also inform users of the following:
Be sure to keep turning the crank during the shifting lever operation.
If gear shifting operations do not feel smooth, wash the derailleur and lubricate all moving parts.
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.
For Installation to the Bicycle, and Maintenance:
Grease the inner cable and the inside of the outer casing before use to ensure that they slide properly.
Use an outer casing [OT-SP41] and a cable guide (SM-SP17/SP18) for smooth operation.
A special grease is used for the gear shifting cable. Do not use premium grease or other types of grease, otherwise they may
cause deterioration in gear shifting performance.
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.
If gear shifting adjustments cannot be carried out, check the alignment of the fork end and check if the cable is lubricated
or if the outer casing is too long or too short.
The actual product may differ from the illustration because this manual is intended mainly to explain the procedures for us-
ing the product.
