TO ENSURE SAFETY
Be sure to also inform users of the following:
For installation to the bicycle and maintenance
The actual product may differ from the illustration because this manual is
intended mainly to explain the procedures for using the product.
Be sure to follow the instructions provided in the manuals when installing the product.
Only use SHIMANO genuine parts. If a component or replacement part is incorrectly assembled or adjusted, it
can lead to component failure and cause the rider to lose control and crash.
Wear approved eye protection while performing maintenance tasks such as replacing components.
Be sure to keep turning the crank during the lever operation.
The gears should be periodically washed with a neutral detergent. In addition, cleaning the chain with neutral
detergent and lubricating it can be an effective way of extending the life of the gears and the chain.
Products are not guaranteed against natural wear and deterioration from normal use and aging.
For maximum performance we highly recommend SHIMANO lubricants and maintenance products.
When using a friction-supported front derailleur, use it with one of the following shift levers.

Connection and securing of the inner cable
Insert the inner cable into the outer casing from the end with the marking on it.
In order to maintain cable operating efficiency, the end with the marking is greased.
Marking
When cutting the outer casing, cut the opposite end to the end with the marking.
After cutting, make the end round using a TL-CT12 needle or similar so that the inside of the hole has a
uniform diameter.

Middle chainring adjustment
This adjustment is not necessary for LN (friction type) as it does not have a cable adjustment barrel.
Checking gear shifting and fine adjustment
After completing all adjustment, move the shift lever to check the gear shifting performance. (This also applies if
gear shifting becomes difficult during use.)
Set the chain on to the largest sprocket, and at the front, move the chain from the largest chainring to the
middle chainring to adjust.

Situation Adjustment method
If the chain falls to the crank side Turn the high limit screw clockwise.
If shifting is difficult from the middle chainring to the largest
chainring
Tighten the cable. If this does not improve the situation, turn
the high limit screw counterclockwise.
If shifting is difficult from the middle chainring to the smallest
chainring
Turn the low limit screw counterclockwise.
If there is interference between the chain and the front
derailleur inner plate when the chain is on the largest chainring
of the crankset
Turn the high limit screw clockwise.
If there is interference between the chain and the front
derailleur outer plate when the chain is on the largest chainring
of the crankset
Tighten the cable. If this does not improve the situation, turn
the high limit screw counterclockwise.
If the middle chainring is skipped when shifting from the
largest chainring
Tighten the cable.
If there is interference between the chain and front derailleur
inner plate when the chain is on the largest sprocket at the rear
and the middle chainring
Loosen the cable.
If shifting is difficult from the largest chainring to the middle
chainring
If the chain falls to the bottom bracket side Turn the low limit screw clockwise.

When no sound at all is generated
Loosen the adjustment barrel until the chain touches the 3rd sprocket counting from the smallest sprocket

The best setting is when the shift lever is operated just enough to close the lever play and the chain
touches the 3rd sprocket counting from the smallest sprocket and makes noise.

Return the lever to its original position (the position where the lever is at the 2nd sprocket setting counting
from the smallest sprocket and it has been released), then turn the crank arm.
If the chain is touching the 3rd sprocket counting from the smallest sprocket and making noise, turn the
adjustment barrel clockwise slightly to tighten it just enough until the noise stops.
