(3) After trimming, use the outer casing
adjustment barrel to adjust the
clearance between the chain and
chain guide to the minimum (0 - 0.5
mm).
Adjustment is possible at the dual
control lever (with cable adjuster).
For details on the adjustment
method, refer to the Service
Instructions for the ST-4600.
General Safety Information
•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.

Turn the outer casing adjustment barrel
clockwise (1/8 of a turn at a time) until
shifting to the small chainring becomes
smooth. Be careful not to turn the outer
casing adjustment barrel too far at this time,
otherwise shifting to the large chainring will
become more difficult.
1. Adjust so that the clearance between the chain guide outer
plate and the large gear is 1 - 3 mm before installing.

2. Connection and securing of cable
While pulling the inner cable, tighten the wire fixing
bolt with a 5 mm allen key to secure the cable.
While turning the crank arm, gently operate lever (b) and check that the front derailleur
moves slightly toward the small chainring. If the front derailleur moves by a large
amount and the chain is set onto the small chainring at this time, loosen the top
adjustment bolt by 1/8th of a turn. Then, after returning the chain to its original position,
adjust and check the trimming mechanism.

3. Adjustment of the cable tension
(1) When making the cable
adjustment, place the chain on
the largest sprocket at the rear;
and at the front, shift the chain to
the inner chainring and then set
it back onto the outer chainring.
Note:
There are two derailleur positions for the outer chainring. Make sure the derailleur is in
the inner side of the two positions.
Shift the derailleur from the inner chainring (L)
to the outer chainring (T), then gently press
the small lever (b) until a small click is felt.
