General Safety Information
WARNING
• Obtain, read and carefully service instructions when installing
parts. A loose, worn, or damaged parts may cause injury to
the rider.
We strongly recommend that only genuine Shimano
replacement parts be used.
• Read these Technical Service Instructions carefully, and keep
them in a safe place for later reference.
Note
• Operation of the levers related to gear shifting should be made
only when the front chainwheel is turning.
• For smooth operation, always be sure to use the specified
outer casing and the bottom bracket cable guide.
• Grease the inner cable and the inside of the outer casing
before use to ensure that they slide properly.
• Because the high cable resistance of a frame with internal
cable routing would impair the SIS function, this type of frame
should not be used.
• The end of the outer casing which has the aluminum
cap should be at the derailleur side.

• Read the service instructions for the cycle computer also.
• 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.
