User manual SHIMANO DISC BRAKE SYSTEM ASSEMBLY

[. . . ] To avoid this, reduce your speed and apply the brakes early and gently. · Always make sure that the front and rear brakes are working correctly before you ride the bicycle. · Be careful not to allow any oil or grease to get onto the rotor and brake pads, otherwise the brakes may not work correctly. · If any oil or grease do get on the pads, you should replace the pads. [. . . ] (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 rotor is worn, cracked or warped, it should be replaced. · 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 right lever > Maintenance Brake pad replacement Note: The M595 brake system is designed so that as the brake pads become worn, Installation of the calipers (BR-M595) and securing the hose. · Remove the spacer for bleeding (yellow), and then set the wheel which has the rotor onto the frame. Brake pads · Install the brake pads. the pistons gradually move outward to automatically adjust the clearance between the rotor and the brake pads. Therefore, you need to push the pistons back to their original positions when replacing the brake pads. If oil adheres to the brake pads after oil is added, or if the brake pads are worn down to a thickness of 0. 5 mm, or if the brake pad presser springs are interfering with the rotor, replace the brake pads. 2. Insert a thin object such as a 2 mm Allen key into the bevelled hole on the hose side of the brake lever to push out the pin and release the clamp band lock. Then remove the brake lever. Clamp band Brake pads 1. Remove the wheel from the frame, and remove the brake pads as shown in the illustration. Split pin 2. Clean the pistons and surrounding area. Spacer for bleeding (yellow) Split pin 3. Remove the reservoir tank cover while referring to the step (1) in "Adding mineral oil". Mineral oil replacement It is recommended that you replace the oil inside the reservoir tank if it becomes severely discolored. Attach a tube with a bag to the bleed nipple, and then open the bleed nipple and drain out the oil. You can operate the brake lever at this time to help the oil to drain out. After draining the fluid, pour in fresh brake fluid while referring to "Adding the mineral oil and bleeding air". Dispose of the waste oil according to proper country and/or state disposal regulations. 4. Push the piston back in as far as it will For international-standard mounts, attach adapters to calipers for post-type mounts. (Separate front and rear adapters are available. ) go, while being careful not to twist it. (Note that some oil may overflow from the reservoir tank at this time. ) Piston Installation The following tools are needed to assemble this product. Usage location Rotor fixing lock ring Brake lever fixing bolt Caliper fixing bolt Adapter (post type) fixing bolt Brake pad fixing shaft Reservoir tank cover Cable supporter Brake hose fixing bolt Bleed nipple TL-LR15 Allen key 4 mm Allen key 5 mm Allen key 5 mm Radio pliers Phillips screwdriver #1 Phillips screwdriver #2 Socket wrench 8 mm Socket wrench 7 mm 1. [. . . ] Either a cap method or a wire ring method can be used to stop the bolts from turning. Use whichever method is suitable for the front fork and frame. 6. After checking the oil level, replace the reservoir tank cover. Cap method Installation of the brake lever (BL-M595) Secure the brake lever as shown in the illustration. (Check that the brake lever does not interfere with the shifting lever during operation. [. . . ]
