occur if the product is used incorrectly.

Important safety information

WARNING

Because each bicycle may handle slightly differently depending on the model, be
sure to learn the proper braking technique (including brake lever pressure and
bicycle control characteristics) and operation of your bicycle. Improper use of your
bicycle's brake system may result in a loss of control or a fall, which could lead to
severe injury.
Do not disassemble or modify the product. This may cause the product to not
operate correctly, and you may suddenly fall and be seriously injured.
Do not apply the front brake too strongly. If you do so, the front wheel may lock
and the bicycle may fall forward, and serious injury may result.
Because the required braking distance will be longer during wet weather, reduce
your speed and apply the brakes early and gently. You may fall or collide and be
seriously injured.
A wet road surface may cause tires to lose traction; therefore, to avoid this,
reduce your speed and apply the brakes early and gently. If the tires lose traction,
you may fall and be seriously injured.
Do not allow any oil or grease to get onto the brake shoes. Riding the bicycle
with oil or grease on the brake shoes may prevent the brakes from operating and
result in serious injury due to a fall or collision.
Do not use the brake cable if it has any rust, fraying, or cracks. Otherwise, the
brakes may not work correctly.

Notice

When combined with a ceramic rim, SHIMANO road brake shoes wear down more
quickly.
If the brake shoes have worn down until the grooves are no longer visible, consult
your place of purchase or a distributor.
Different brake shoes have their own characteristics. Ask the place of purchase or
a distributor for details when purchasing the brake shoes.
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.

Regular inspections before riding the bicycle

Before riding the bicycle, check the following items. If any problems are found,
consult your place of purchase or a distributor.
Do the front and rear brakes work correctly?
Does the brake cable have any rust, fraying, or cracks?
Have the brake shoes worn down to the grooves?
Are there signs of cracks or peeling on the levers?
Are there any abnormal noises?
