General Safety Information
Gear shifting operations
WARNING
• Obtain and read the service instructions carefully prior to installing the parts. Loose, worn or damaged parts may cause the bicycle to fall over and serious injury may occur as a result.
We strongly recommend only using genuine Shimano replacement parts.
• Read these Technical Service Instructions carefully, and keep them in a safe place for later reference.
Note
• The ST-6703/5703 front dual control lever is for use with triple front chainwheels, and cannot be used with double front chainwheel products.
• Operation of the levers related to gear shifting should be made only when the front chainwheel is turning.
• For smooth operation, use the specified outer casing and the bottom bracket cable guide.
• Grease the inner cable and the inside of the outer casing before use to ensure that they slide properly.
• Use a frame with internal cable routing is strongly discouraged as it has tendencies to impair the SIS shifting function due to its high cable resistance.
• A special grease is used for the gear shifting cable. Do not use
DURA-ACE grease or other types of grease, otherwise they may cause deterioration in gear shifting performance.
• Please refer to the Service Instructions for the ST-6700/5700 for details on installation and maintenance.
• Be sure to read these service instructions in conjunction with the service instructions for the FD-6703/5703 before use.
• Parts are not guaranteed against natural wear or deterioration resulting from normal use.
• For maximum performance we highly recommend Shimano lubricants and maintenance products.
• For any questions regarding methods of installation, adjustment, maintenance or operation, please contact a professional bicycle dealer.

Pass the inner cable upward through the slit as shown in the illustration.
The outer casing can be routed in two directions: either through cable guide 1
(inside) or cable guide 2 (outside).

Note:
Be careful not to bend or rub the inner cable while working. Insert the inner cable so that the inner cable drum goes into the winder unit as far as it can go.
Trimming (noise prevention mechanism) operation
Depending on the position of the chain after shifting, the chain may rub against the chain guide outer plate or the chain guide inner plate of the front derailleur, producing a characteristic noise. If this sort of thing happens, you can press lever (a) or lever (b) slightly to move the front derailleur a little way so that it does not touch the chain. This operation is called "trimming". Trimming can be carried out whether the chain is on the largest, intermediate or smallest chainring. If noise occurs when the chain is in one of the positions shown below, carry out trimming to eliminate the noise.
