WARNING
To ensure safe riding
•
Do not give too much of your attention to the cycle
computer display while riding, otherwise accidents may
result.
•
Check that the wheels are securely installed to the bicycle
before commencing riding. If the wheels are not securely
installed, the bicycle may fall over and cause serious
injury.
•
If riding a power-assisted bicycle, make sure that you are
fully familiar with the starting-off characteristics of the
bicycle before riding it on roads with several vehicle lanes
and pedestrian footpaths. If the bicycle starts off
suddenly, accidents may result.
•
Check that the bicycle lights illuminate before riding at
night.
Using the product safely
•
Be sure to remove the battery and charging cable before
wiring or attaching parts to the bicycle. Otherwise, an
electric shock may result.
•
When charging the battery while it is installed on the
bicycle, do not move the bicycle. The power plug for the
battery charger may come loose and not be fully inserted
into the electrical outlet, resulting in risk of fire.
•
Do not touch the drive unit when it has been
continuously used for a long period of time. The surface
of the drive unit becomes hot and could cause burns.
•
Periodically clean the chain using an appropriate chain
cleaner. The frequency of maintenance will vary
depending on the riding conditions.
•
Do not use alkaline or acidic cleaning agents for
removing rust under any circumstances. If such cleaning
agents are used, they may damage the chain and serious
injury may result.
•
When installing this product, be sure to follow the
instructions given in the user's manual. Furthermore, it is
recommended that you use only genuine SHIMANO parts
at these times. If bolts and nuts are left loosened or the
