The following instructions must be followed at all times to avoid personal injury and physical damage to the equipment and the environment. The instructions are classified according to the degree of danger or damage that may occur if the product is used incorrectly.

WARNING
- Do do not disassemble or modify the product. This may cause the product to malfunction, you may fall unexpectedly and seriously injure yourself.
- Before attempting to ride, make sure you understand the operation of the locking/releasing mechanism of the pedals and cleats (on shoes). The pedals are designed to release only when needed. They are not designed to release automatically when you fall off the bike.
- Use only SPD shoes with this product. Other types of shoes may not release from the pedals or may release unexpectedly.
- Use only SHIMANO cleats and securely tighten the mounting screws to the shoes. If you do not tighten the screws securely, you may fall and the stops will not be released.
- Before riding, adjust the holding force of the stops on the pedals according to your needs. If the holding force of the stop on the pedals is small, the stops may accidentally come loose, you may lose your balance, and you may fall off the bicycle. If the holding force of the stopper on the pedals is large, the stoppers may not be released easily.
- When driving at low speed or when there is a possibility that you will need to stop (e.g. when making a full turn, at an intersection, when driving uphill or turning a sharp corner), release the stoppers from the pedals in advance so that you can quickly put your feet on the ground if necessary.
- While riding in in adverse conditions, use less cleat holding force to attach pedal cleats.
- Keep cleats and binding free of dirt and debris to ensure proper fit and release.
- Remember to check cleat wear regularly. When the cleats are worn, replace them and adjust the holding force of the cleat before riding and after replacing the pedal cleats. If you do not heed the above warnings, the shoes may not slip out of the pedals when you want them to, or may slip off unexpectedly or accidentally, resulting in serious injury. +81-72-223-3210 / FAX:+81-72-223-3258
