General Safety Information
WARNING
"Maintenance interval depends on the usage and riding
circumstances. Clean regularly the chain with an appropriate
chaincleaner. Never use alkali based or acid based solvents
such as rust cleaners. If those solvent be used chain might
break and cause serious injury."
• Use the reinforced connecting pin only for connecting the narrow type of chain.
• If connecting pins other than reinforced connecting pins are used, or if a
reinforced connecting pin or tool which is not suitable for the type of chain is
used, sufficient connection force may not be obtained, which could cause the
chain to break or fall off.

10-speed super narrow
chain such as
CN-7801 / 6600 / 5600
• Make sure that the connecting pin is aligned with the
outer link surface from the side that the pin is
inserted. It should feel smooth and flush when you
run your finger over it. The pin will protrude slightly on
the backside after the break off pin is removed.
• If it is necessary to adjust the length of the chain due
to a change in the number of sprocket teeth, make
the cut at some other place than the place where the
chain has been joined using a reinforced
connecting pin. The chain will be damaged if it is
cut at a place where it has been joined with a
reinforced connecting pin.
• When readjusting the length of the chain, be sure
to insert the reinforced connecting pin from the
same side as the chain cutter was inserted (the same direction as when the
chain was cut).
• Check that the tension of the chain is correct and that the chain is not damaged.
If the tension is too weak or the chain is damaged, the chain should be
replaced. If this is not done, the chain may break and cause serious injury.
• 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.
• Obtain and read the service instructions carefully prior to installing the parts.
If adjustments are not carried out correctly, the chain may come off and this
may cause you to fall off the bicycle which could result in serious injury.
• Read these Technical Service Instructions carefully, and keep them in a safe
place for later reference.

In order to provide greater connecting
strength, this reinforced connecting pin has a
special shape (the pin is thicker at both ends
than at the barrel). A guide for making the pin
easier to push into the chain is also provided.

Note
As illustrated in Fig.A, we strongly recommend
to set the connecting pin in the hole of the
outer link on the front side in the direction of
travel. The chain's level of strength is
enhanced compared to the method in Fig.B.
