Note
If the bottom bracket shell is not parallel, gear shifting performance will drop. Before riding the bicycle, check that there is no play or looseness in the connection. Also, be sure to retighten the crank arms and pedals at periodic intervals. If you feel any looseness in the bearings, the bottom bracket should be replaced. In addition, if pedaling performance does not feel normal, check this once more. Do not wash the bottom bracket with high-pressure jets of water. When installing the left and right adapters, be sure to install the inner cover too, otherwise the waterproofing performance will drop. Apply grease to the left and right adapters before installing them. Be sure to read the service instructions for the Front Drive System or the front chainwheel in conjunction with these service instructions. 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.
Chain Device
When installing a BB mount-type chain device to a bicycle, refer to the table below to determine the number of spacers for the right side. If the thickness of the spacers used is not as given in the table, the front chainwheel may become loose and fall off, or problems with gear shifting may occur. When installing a BB mounttype chain device or a ISCG-type chain device to a bicycle, you need to be careful to avoid interference.
Adapter Adapter
(1) Check whether the width of the bottom bracket shell is 68 mm or 73 mm. (2) Next, install the adapter while referring to the illustrations below.

<Installation method>
Install the chain device and the front derailleur as shown in the illustration. If using in combination with an BB mounttype front derailleur, make sure that the chain device does not obstruct the BB mount-type bracket.
