For assistance with installation, adjustment and replacement of the products which are not found in the user's manual, please contact the place of purchase or a distributor. A dealer's manual for professional and experienced bicycle mechanics is available on our website (https://si.shimano.com).
For safety, be sure to read this "user's manual" thoroughly before use, follow it for correct use, and keep it in a safe place for later reference.
The following instructions should always be followed in order to prevent personal injury, damage to equipment or damage to the surrounding area. The instructions are classified according to the degree of danger or damage which may occur if the product is used incorrectly.
DANGER – Failure to follow the instructions will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING – Failure to follow the instructions could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION – Failure to follow the instructions could result in personal injury, or physical damage to equipment or surroundings.
WARNING
- In order to ensure the safety of children using this product, guardians should instruct children in the proper usage after guardians and children have fully understood the information below. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
- 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 with these pedals and cleats (shoes), be sure that you understand the operation of the engagement/release mechanism for the pedals and cleats (shoes). SPD pedals are designed to release only when needed. They are not designed to release automatically in the event of a fall from the bicycle.
- Use only SPD-compatible shoes with this product. Other types of shoes may not release from the pedals, or may release unexpectedly.
- Use only SHIMANO cleats (SM-SH51 / SM-SH56) and securely tighten the mounting bolts to the shoes. If the bolts are not securely tightened, the foot may not be able to release from the pedal, resulting in a fall.
- Before you attempt to ride with these pedals and cleats, apply the brakes, then place one foot on the ground and practice engaging and releasing each cleat from the pedal until you can do so instinctively and with minimal effort.
- Practice riding on a level surface first until you become adept at engaging and releasing the cleats from the pedals.
- 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, and you may lose your balance and 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 when there is a 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 on the ground if necessary.
- When riding in adverse conditions, use a weaker cleat retention force to secure the pedal cleats.
- Keep cleats and bindings free 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 on the pedals before riding and after replacing the pedal cleats.
- Failure to heed the above warnings may result in your shoes not releasing from the pedals when you intend them to, or they may release unexpectedly or accidentally, and serious injury may result.
- When riding on roadways, be sure to install reflectors on the bicycle. Reflectors are sold separately for models that are not equipped with reflectors as standard equipment. Consult the place of purchase or a distributor for information on compatible reflectors.
- If the reflectors are dirty or damaged, do not continue riding the bicycle. If you do, it may be difficult for oncoming vehicles to see you.
Models with grip force adjustment pins:
- If you are unsure how to adjust the pins on the pedals, contact the place of purchase or a distributor.
- Lift your feet off the pedals and move them to the side to release them from the pedals. Place one foot firmly on the ground and practice putting on and taking off the other foot from the pedal until you get used to the action. Otherwise you may fall and be seriously injured. If you cannot get used to the action, use the product with the spacers installed.
- Wear clothing and protective gear that are appropriate for the way in which you will be using the bicycle. Because the pins are very long, they may cause serious injury if they come into contact with the skin.
