Set so that the “D” or “MEGA 9” symbol on the
largest chainring is facing outward and so that the
tooth numbers on the intermediate and smallest
chainrings are facing inward, and also so that the
projections are aligned with the crank arm.

General Safety Information Specifications
Installation of the Front Chainwheel
WARNING
• The two left crank arm mounting bolts should be tightened alternately in stages rather
than each bolt being fully tightened all at once. Use a torque wrench to check that the
final tightening torques are within the range of 12 - 14 N·m. Furthermore, after riding
approximately 100 km (60 miles), use a torque wrench to re-check the tightening
torques. It is also important to periodically check the tightening torques. If the
tightening torques are too weak or if the mounting bolts are not tightened alternately in
stages, the left crank arm may come off and the bicycle may fall over.
• Before riding, you should carefully check your crankset to make sure that there are no
cracks, and if you find any sign of a crack or any other unusual condition, do NOT use
the bicycle.
• 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 cause serious injury.
• If the inner cover is not installed correctly, the axle may rust and become damaged,
and the bicycle may fall over and serious injury may occur as a result.
•Obtain and read the service instructions carefully prior to installing the parts.
Loose, worn or damaged parts may cause the bicycle to fall over and serious injury
may occur as a result. We strongly recommend only using genuine Shimano
replacement parts.
•Obtain and read the service instructions carefully prior to installing the parts. If
adjustments are not carried out correctly, the chain may come off and this may cause
you to fall off the bicycle which could result in serious injury.
• 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.
• If the bottom bracket shell is not parallel, gear
shifting performance will drop.
• Before riding the bicycle, check that there is no play or looseness in the connection.
Also, be sure to retighten the crank arms and pedals at periodic intervals.
• If a squeaking noise is heard coming from the bottom bracket axle and the left crank
arm connector, apply grease to the connector and then tighten it to the specified
torque.
• If you feel any looseness in the bearings, 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 left and right adapters before installing them.
• 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.
■Follow the procedure in the figure.
1, 2 Use the special tool TL-FC32/36 to install the right adapter (counterclockwise thread) and the left adapter (clockwise thread).
Tightening torque: 35 - 50 N·m {305 - 435 in. lbs.}
3Insert the right crank unit.
4Set section A of the left crank into the axle of the right crank unit where the groove is wide.
5Use the TL-FC16/18 to tighten the cap.
Tightening torque: 0.7 - 1.5 N·m {6 - 13 in. lbs.}
6Push in the stopper plate and check that the plate pin is securely in place, and then tighten the bolt of the left crank arm. (5 mm
Allen key)
Note : Each of the bolts should be evenly and equally tightened to 12 - 14 N·m {106 - 122 in. lbs.}.
