General Safety Information
WARNING
• Be careful not to let the cuffs of your clothes get caught in the chain
while riding, otherwise you may fall off the bicycle.
• Check that the tension of the chain is correct and that the chain is not
damaged. If the tension is too weak or the chain is damaged, the
chain should be replaced. If this is not done, the chain may break and
you may fall off the bicycle.
• Check that there are no cracks in the crank arms before riding the
bicycle. If there are any cracks, the crank arm may break and you
may fall off the bicycle.
• Obtain and read the service instructions carefully prior to installing the
parts. Loose, worn, or damaged parts may cause injury to the rider.
We strongly recommend only using genuine Shimano replacement
parts.
• Read these Technical Service Instructions carefully, and keep them in
a safe place for later reference.
Note
• Make sure that the chainring combination matches the front chainwheel
tooth configuration in the Product specifications table. If other
combinations are used, the distance between the chainrings will be
incorrect and the chain might slip off and get caught in between them.
• When the chain is in the position shown in
the illustration, the chain may contact the
front chainrings or front derailleur and
generate noise. If the noise is a problem,
shift the chain onto the next-larger rear
sprocket or the one after.
• Check that there is no looseness in any
joints or connections before riding the
bicycle. (BB-FC, FC-PD)
• If you feel any looseness in the bottom bracket axle, the bottom
bracket should be replaced.
• In addition, if pedaling performance does not feel normal, check this
once more.
• Do not wash the bottom bracket with high-pressure jets of water.
• Apply grease to the bottom bracket before installing it.
• To ensure the best performance, be sure to use only the specified
type of chain. The wide type of chain cannot be used.
• If the chain keeps coming off the chainrings during use, replace the
chainrings and the chain.
• You should periodically wash the chainrings in a neutral detergent
and then lubricate them again. In addition, cleaning the chain with
neutral detergent and lubricating it can be an effective way of
extending the useful life of the chainrings and the chain.
• Parts are not guaranteed against natural wear or deterioration
resulting from normal use.
• For maximum performance we highly recommend Shimano lubricants
and maintenance products.
• For any questions regarding methods of installation, adjustment,
maintenance or operation, please contact a professional bicycle
dealer.
