Warnings and instructions

WARNING
For assistance with installation, adjustment, and replacement of products not found in the user's manual, please consult the place of purchase or a distributor. A dealer's manual intended for professional and experienced bicycle mechanics is available on our website (https://si.shimano.com).
For safety, be sure to carefully read this "user's manual" before use, follow it for correct use, and save it so that you can refer back to it at any time.
The following directions should always be followed in order to prevent personal injury, damage to property or damage to the surrounding environment. Directions are classified according to the degree of danger or damage which may occur if the product is used incorrectly.
DANGER – Failure to follow the directions will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING – Failure to follow the directions could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION – Failure to follow the directions could cause personal injury or physical damage to equipment and surroundings.

WARNING
- BE SURE TO CAREFULLY READ THE SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE REAR 12 mm E-THRU TYPE I SYSTEM BEFORE USE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, ASK YOUR DEALER.
- The rear 12 mm E-THRU TYPE I system should be used in combination with a special frame and a special hub/wheel. If it is used in combination with any other frame or hub/wheel, the wheel may detach from the bicycle during riding, and serious personal injury may result.
- If the rear 12 mm E-THRU TYPE I system is not installed on the bicycle correctly, the wheel may detach from the bicycle during riding, and serious personal injury may result.
- If the E-THRU system lever is on the left side (rotor side) of the frame, make sure that the E-THRU system lever does not interfere with the operation of the rotor. In addition, make sure that the E-THRU system lever does not come into contact with the frame, other parts, accessories, etc., or with obstacles (such as bushes or rocks) during riding. If the E-THRU system lever becomes loose as a result of contact with foreign objects, the wheel will loosen and start to rattle. In such cases, contact the place of purchase or a bicycle dealer. Riding the bicycle with the wheel loose may lead to a fall and serious injury.
- When handling the E-THRU system, do not touch the disc brake rotor. In addition, do not operate the E-THRU system lever while the wheel is rotating. The disc brake rotor is very sharp, and touching it may result in serious injury.
- The brake calipers and disc brake rotor become very hot when the brakes are used. To avoid the danger of burns, check that they have cooled down sufficiently before handling the E-THRU system after riding the bicycle.
- Before installing the wheel, remove any foreign matter and dust from the opening at the end of the fork, the thread on the frame side, and the axle openings. Foreign matter and dust may prevent the E-THRU system from being installed correctly, and if the hub and axle are not installed correctly, the wheel may detach, and serious injury may result.
