This document is a Dealer's Manual for Shimano Flat Pedals, specifically covering the Non-Series models PD-EF102, PD-EF202, PD-EF205, and PD-GR400. It provides detailed instructions for installation, removal, adjustment, and maintenance, intended primarily for professional bicycle mechanics.
Function Description
These flat pedals are designed for various bicycle types, including Road, City Touring/Comfort Bike, MTB, Urban Sport, Trekking, and E-Bike. They provide a stable platform for the rider's feet, facilitating power transfer to the drivetrain. The pedals are equipped with pins for enhanced grip and reflectors for increased visibility, contributing to rider safety.
Important Technical Specifications
The manual specifies torque values for various installation and maintenance procedures:
- Pedal Installation to Crank: 35 - 55 N·m (using a 15 mm spanner). The right pedal has a right-hand thread, and the left pedal has a left-hand thread.
- Pin Replacement (PD-GR400): 1 - 1.5 N·m (using a 2.5 mm hexagon wrench).
- Axle Bearing Adjustment (PD-EF202/PD-EF205):
- Lock nut tightening: 10 - 15 N·m (using TL-PD400 tool). Both cones and lock nuts have right-hand threads.
- Axle Bearing Adjustment (PD-EF102/PD-GR400):
- Lock nut A tightening: 5 - 7 N·m (using TL-PD400 tool). Lock nut A and lock nut B are threaded right-hand for the left pedal and left-hand for the right pedal.
- Reflector Installation (PD-EF102): 1 - 1.5 N·m (using a cross head screwdriver [#2]).
- Reflector Installation (PD-EF202/PD-EF205): 0.8 N·m (using a cross head screwdriver [#2]).
- Reflector Installation (PD-GR400): 1 - 1.5 N·m (using a 5.5 mm spanner).
The manual emphasizes the use of SHIMANO genuine parts for all components and replacements to ensure proper assembly and prevent component failure.
Usage Features
The pedals are designed for a wide range of cycling disciplines, offering versatility across different bicycle categories. Key usage features include:
