WARNING
- Do not disassemble or modify the product. It may cause the product to not operate correctly, and you may fall unexpectedly and be seriously injured.
- Before attempting to ride, make sure you understand the operation of the engagement/release mechanism for the pedals and cleats (shoes). The pedals are designed to release only when you intend to release. They are not designed to release automatically in the event of a fall from your bicycle.
- Use SPD shoes only with this product. Other types of shoes may not release from the pedals, or may release unexpectedly.
- Use SHIMANO cleats only and securely tighten the mounting bolts to the shoe. If the bolts are not securely tightened, your foot may come off the bicycle and you may fall.
- Before riding, adjust the cleat retention force on the pedals to suit your needs. If the cleat retention force on the pedals is weak, the cleats may release accidentally, you may lose your balance, and you may fall off the bicycle. If the cleat retention force on the pedals is strong, the cleats may not release easily.
- When riding at low speeds or in places where there is the possibility that you may need to stop (for example, when making a U-turn, at an intersection, when riding uphill or when turning a sharp corner), release the cleats from the pedals beforehand so that you can quickly put your feet onto the ground if necessary.
- When riding in adverse conditions, use a lighter cleat retention force to secure the pedal cleats.
- Keep cleats and bindings clear of dirt and debris to ensure proper engagement and release.
- Be sure to periodically inspect the cleats for wear. When the cleats are worn, replace them and adjust the cleat retention force of the pedals before riding and after replacing the pedal cleats. Failure to heed the above warnings may result in the shoes not releasing from the pedals when you intend them to, or they may release unexpectedly or accidentally, and serious injury may result.
