TO ENSURE SAFETY

Be sure to also inform users of the following:

TO ENSURE SAFETY

WARNING

When installing components, be sure to follow the instructions that are given in the instruction manuals.

It is recommended that you use only genuine Shimano parts. If parts such as bolts and nuts become loose or damaged, the bicycle may suddenly fall over, which may cause serious injury.

In addition, if adjustments are not carried out correctly, problems may occur, and the bicycle may suddenly fall over, which may cause serious injury.

• Be sure to wear safety glasses or goggles to protect your eyes while performing maintenance tasks such as replacing parts.

• This dealer’s manual is for use with on road disc brake (electronic gear shifting system) only.

For information on products not explained in this manual, refer to the dealer's manuals provided with each product.

• After reading the dealer's manual thoroughly, keep it in a safe place for later reference.

„

Be sure to also inform users of the following:

Brake

• It is important to completely understand the operation of your bicycle's brake system. Improper use of your bicycle's brake system may result in a loss of control or a fall, which could lead to severe injury. Because each bicycle may handle differently, be sure to learn the proper braking technique

(including brake lever pressure and bicycle control characteristics) and operation of your bicycle. This can be done by consulting your professional bicycle dealer and the bicycle's owners manual, and by practicing your riding and braking technique.

• Please use extra caution to keep your fingers away from the rotating disc brake rotor. The disc brake rotor is sharp enough to inflict severe injury to your fingers if caught within the openings of moving rotor.

• The calipers and disc brake rotor will become hot when the brakes are operated, so do not touch them while riding or immediately after dismounting from the bicycle, otherwise you may get burned.

• Be careful not to allow any oil or grease to get onto the disc brake rotor and brake pads, otherwise the brakes may not work correctly.

• If any oil or grease does get on the brake pads, you should consult a dealer or an agency. There is the danger that the brakes may not work correctly.

• If noise occurs during brake operation, the brake pads may have been worn down to the usable limit. Check that the brake system temperature has been cooled down sufficiently, check the thickness of the brake pad. If the thickness is 0.5 mm or below, the brake pad needs to be replaced with a new one. Consult a dealer or an agency.

2 mm 0.5 mm

• If the disc brake rotor is cracked or deformed, immediately stop using the brakes and consult a dealer or an agency.

• If the disc brake rotor becomes worn down to a thickness of 1.5 mm or less, or if the aluminum surface appears, immediately stop using the brakes and consult a dealer or an agency. The disc brake rotor may break, and you may fall off the bicycle.

• Vapor lock may occur if the brakes are applied continuously. To relieve this condition, momentarily release the lever.

Vapor lock is a phenomenon in which the oil inside the brake system becomes heated, which causes any water or air bubbles inside the brake system to expand. This can then result in a sudden increase in the brake lever stroke.

5

TO ENSURE SAFETY

For Installation to the Bicycle, and Maintenance:

• The disc brake is not designed to work with the bicycle upside down. If the bicycle is turned upside down or on its side, the brake may not work correctly, and a serious accident could occur. Before riding the bicycle, be sure to operate the brake lever a few times to check that the brakes operate normally. If the brakes do not operate normally, stop using the brakes and consult a dealer or an agency.

• If you feel no resistance when depressing the brake lever, immediately stop using the brakes and consult a dealer or an agency.

• If fluid leaks occur, immediately stop using the brakes and consult a dealer or an agency.

• If the front brake is applied too strongly, the wheel may lock and the bicycle may fall forward, and serious injury may result.

• Always make sure that the front and rear brakes are working correctly before you ride the bicycle.

• The required braking distance will be longer during wet weather. Reduce your speed and apply the brakes early and gently.

• If the road surface is wet, the tires will skid more easily. If the tires skid, you may fall off the bicycle. To avoid this, reduce your speed and apply the brakes early and gently.

„

For Installation to the Bicycle, and Maintenance:

When the shifting switch is operated, the motor which drives the front derailleur will operate to the shifting position without stopping, so be careful not to get your fingers caught.

• Please use extra caution to keep your fingers away from the rotating disc brake rotor during installing or servicing the wheel.

The disc brake rotor is sharp enough to inflict severe injury to your fingers if caught within the openings of moving disc brake rotor.

• If the disc brake rotor is cracked or warped, be sure to replace it with a new disc brake rotor.

• If the disc brake rotor becomes worn down to a thickness of 1.5 mm or so that the aluminum surface becomes visible, be sure to replace the disc brake rotor with a new one.

• Check that the brake components have cooled down sufficiently before attempting to adjust the brakes.

• Use only Shimano genuine mineral oil. If other types of oil are used, it may cause problems with brake operation, and cause the system to be unuseable.

• Be sure to use only oil from a freshly-opened container, and do not re-use oil which has been drained from the bleed nipple. Old oil or already-used oil may contain water which could cause vapor lock in the brake system.

• Be careful not to let water or air bubbles to get into the brake system, otherwise vapor lock may occur. Be particularly careful when removing the cover of the reservoir tank.

• If cutting the brake hose in order to adjust the length of the hose, or when changing over the brake hose from left to right or vice versa, be sure to bleed the air from the hose according to the steps given in "Adding Shimano genuine mineral oil and bleeding air".

• When turning the bicycle upside down or on its side, the brake system may have some air bubbles inside the reservoir tank which are still there when the bleed screw is closed, or which accumulate in various parts of the brake system when it is used for long periods. This disc brake system is not designed to work with the bicycle upside down. If the bicycle is turned upside down or on its side, the air bubbles inside the reservoir tank may move in the direction of the calipers. If the bicycle is ridden in this condition, there is the danger that the brakes may not operate and a serious accident could occur. If the bicycle has been turned upside down or on its side, be sure to operate the brake lever a few times to check that the brakes operate normally before riding the bicycle. If the brakes do not operate normally, adjust them according to the following procedure.

If brake does not seem to work (feels sluggish) when the lever is depressed

Set the bleed section of the brake lever so that it is parallel to the ground, and then gently depress the brake lever several times and wait for the bubbles to return to the reservoir tank.

If the brakes still operate sluggishly, bleed the air from the brake system. (Refer to "Adding Shimano genuine mineral oil and bleeding air")

6

TO ENSURE SAFETY

For Installation to the Bicycle, and Maintenance:

• If the quick release lever is on the same side as the disc brake rotor, there is the danger that it may interfere with the disc brake rotor, so check that it does not interfere.

• Shimano disc brake systems are not compatible with tandem bicycles. Because tandem bicycles have a high overall weight, the load on the brake system increases during brake operation. If hydraulic disc brakes are used with tandem bicycles, the oil temperature will become too high and vapor locks or ruptures in the brake hoses may occur, and this will cause the brakes to fail.

• When installing the brake caliper using bolt fixing pins, be sure to use mounting bolts of the appropriate length.

If not, the bolt fixing pins may not be securely fastened, and the bolts may fall out.

Bolt mounting pin

Brake hose

• After installing the brake hose to the brake unit, adding Shimano genuine mineral oil and bleeding air bubbles, depress the lever again several times to check that the brakes are operating normally and there are no fluid leaks from the hose or the system.

• The connector insert is for this brake hose only. Use an appropriate connector insert according to the following table. Use of a connector insert incompatible with the brake hose may cause fluid leaks.

Length Color Model No.

SM-BH59-SB

13.2 mm Gold

• Do not reuse the olive piece or the connector insert when reinstalling. A damaged or reused olive or the connector insert may not provide secure brake hose connection, possibly causing the brake hose to disconnect from the calipers or brake lever.

If the brake hose becomes disconnected, there is the danger that the brakes may suddenly stop working.

TO ENSURE SAFETY

Be sure to also inform users of the following:

CAUTION

„

Be sure to also inform users of the following:

Cautions on the Shimano genuine mineral oil

• Contact with eyes may result in irritation. In the event of eye contact, flush with fresh water and seek medical assistance immediately.

• Contact with skin may cause a rash and discomfort. In the event of skin contact, wash well with soap and water.

• Inhalation of Shimano genuine mineral oil mist or vapors may cause nausea. Cover nose and mouth with a respirator type mask and use in a well ventilated area. If Shimano genuine mineral oil mist or vapor is inhaled, go immediately to an area with fresh air. Cover up with a blanket. Stay warm and stable and seek professional medical advice.

Burn-in period

• Disc brakes have a burn-in period, and the braking force will gradually increase as the burn-in period progresses. Make sure that you are aware of any such increases in braking force when using the brakes during the burn-in period. The same thing will happen when the brake pads or disc brake rotor are replaced.

„

For Installation to the Bicycle, and Maintenance:

Handling the Shimano genuine mineral oil

• Contact with eyes may result in irritation. Use safety glasses when handling, and avoid contact with eyes.

In the event of eye contact, flush with fresh water and seek medical assistance immediately.

• Contact with skin may cause a rash and discomfort. Use gloves when handling.

In the event of skin contact, wash well with soap and water.

• Do not drink. May cause vomiting or diarrhea.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Do not cut, heat, weld or pressurize the oil container, as this may cause explosion or fire.

• Disposal of Used Oil: Follow local county and/or state codes for disposal.

• Directions: Keep the container sealed to prevent foreign objects and moisture from getting inside, and store it in a cool, dark area away from direct sunlight or heat.

When cleaning with a compressor

• If disassembling the caliper body to clean the internal parts using a compressor, note that moisture from the compressed air may remain on the caliper components. Let the caliper components dry sufficiently before reassembling the calipers.

Brake hose

• When cutting the brake hose, handle the knife carefully so as not to cause injury.

• Be careful to avoid injury from the olive.

8

TO ENSURE SAFETY

Be sure to also inform users of the following:

NOTICE

„

Be sure to also inform users of the following:

• Be sure to rotate the crank when carrying out any switch operations which are related to gear shifting.

• This is a small waterproof connector. Do not repeat connecting and disconnecting it. It may impair the function.

• Be careful not to let water get into the terminal.

• The components are designed to be fully waterproofed to withstand wet weather riding conditions; however, do not deliberately place them into water.

• Do not clean the bicycle in a high-pressure car wash. If water gets into any of the components, operating problems or rusting may result.

• Handle the products carefully, and avoid subjecting them to any strong shocks.

• Do not use thinners or similar substances to clean the products. Such substances may damage the surfaces.

• If gear shifting operations do not feel smooth, wash the derailleur and lubricate all moving parts.

• Contact the place of purchase for updates of the product software. The most up-to-date information is available on the Shimano website.

• When the bicycle wheel has been removed, it is recommended that pad spacers should be installed. Do not depress the brake lever while the wheel is removed. If the brake lever is depressed without the pad spacers installed, the pistons will protrude further than is normal. If that happens, consult a dealer.

• Use soapy water or a dry cloth when carrying out cleaning and maintenance of the brake system. Do not use commercially-available brake cleansers or silencing agents, as they can cause damage to parts such as seals.

• 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.

About system power reset

• When the system fails to operate, the system may be recovered by resetting the system power.

• After the battery is removed, about one minute is usually required for the system power to reset.

In the case of using SM-BTR1

• Remove the battery from the battery mount. After about one minute, install the battery.

In the case of using SM-BTR2

• Disconnect the plug from SM-BTR2. After about one minute, insert the plug.

Connection and communication with the PC

PC linkage devices can be used to connect a PC to the bicycle (system or components), and an E-TUBE PROJECT can be used to carry out tasks such as customizing single components or the whole system and updating their firmware.

• PC linkage device: SM-PCE1/SM-BCR2

• E-TUBE PROJECT: the PC application

• Firmware: the software inside each component

„

For Installation to the Bicycle, and Maintenance:

• Be sure to attach dummy plugs to any unused terminals.

• Always be sure to use the Shimano original tool TL-EW02 to remove the electric wires.

• Use a brake hose which still has some length to spare even when the handlebars are turned all the way to both sides. Furthermore, check that the shifting lever does not touch the bicycle frame when the handlebars are turned all the way.

9

TO ENSURE SAFETY

For Installation to the Bicycle, and Maintenance:

Electric wires / Electric wire covers

• Secure the electric wires with zip tie so that they do not interfere with the chainrings, sprockets and tires.

• The strength of the adhesive is fairly weak, to prevent the paint on the frame from being peeled off at the same time when removing the electric wire cover for reasons such as replacing the electric wires. If the electric wire cover is peeled off, replace it with a new one. When removing the electric wire cover, do not peel it off too vigorously. If this is not observed, the paint on the frame will peel off too.

• Do not remove the wire holders which are attached to the built-in type electric wires (EW-SD50-I).

The wire holders prevent the electric wires from moving inside the frame.

• When installing to the bicycle, do not forcibly bend the electric wire plug. It may result in a poor contact.

Disc brake

• If the brake caliper mounting boss and the dropout are not parallel, the disc brake rotor and caliper may touch.

• When the bicycle wheel has been removed, it is recommended that pad spacers should be installed. The pad spacers will prevent the piston from coming out if the brake lever is depressed while the wheel is removed.

• If the brake lever is depressed without the pad spacers installed, the pistons will protrude further than is normal. Use a flat-tipped screwdriver or similar tool to push back the brake pads, while being careful not to damage the surfaces of the brake pads. (If the brake pads are not installed, use a flat-shaped tool to push the pistons straight back in, while being careful not to damage them.)

If it is difficult to push the brake pads or pistons back, remove the bleed screws and then try again. (Note that some oil may overflow from the reservoir tank at this time.)

• Use isopropyl alcohol, soapy water or a dry cloth when carrying out cleaning and maintenance of the brake system. Do not use commercially-available brake cleansers or silencing agents, as they can cause damage to parts such as seals.

• Do not remove the pistons when disassembling the calipers.

• If the disc brake rotor is worn, cracked or warped, it should be replaced.

Dual control lever

• Dummy plugs are installed at the time of shipment from the factory. Do not remove them except when necessary.

• When routing the electric wires, take care to ensure that they do not interfere with the brake levers.

The actual product may differ from the illustration because this manual is intended chiefly to explain the procedures for using the product.

Notes when reinstalling and replacing components

• When the product is reassembled or replaced, it is automatically recognized by the system to allow operation according to the settings.

• If the system does not operate after reassembly and replacement, follow the system power reset procedure to check the operation.

• If the component configuration changes or malfunction is observed, use the E-TUBE PROJECT software to update the firmware of each component to the latest version and perform a check again. Also make sure that the E-TUBE PROJECT software is the latest version. If the software is not the latest version, the component compatibility or the product functions may not be sufficiently available.

Fill the syringe with sufficient oil.

Attach the adapter provided with this product or Shimano original tool to the end of the tube, connect the tube to the bleed boss, and fasten it with the tube holder so that the tube will not be disconnected.

Loosen the bleed screw by 1/8 of a turn to open it.

Push the plunger of the syringe to add oil.

The oil then starts coming out from the oil funnel.

Continue adding oil until there are no more air bubbles mixed in with the oil that is coming out.

Set a 7 mm socket wrench as shown in the illustration, connect the tube to the bleed nipple, and loosen the bleed nipple / screw.

At this point, make sure that the tube is secured to the bleed nipple / screw.

After a little while, the oil and air bubbles will flow naturally from the bleed nipple/boss into the tube.

In this way it will be possible to easily extract the greater part of the air bubbles remaining inside the brake system.

It may be effective to shake the brake hose gently, to tap the lever bracket or brake calipers gently with a screwdriver, or to move the position of the calipers at this time.

The level of liquid inside the oil funnel drops at this time, so keep filling the funnel with oil to maintain the level of liquid so that air is not drawn in.
