User manual SHIMANO DISC BRAKE SYSTEM ASSEMBLY

[. . . ] · If any oil or grease do get on the pads, you should replace the pads. · Before riding the bicycle, check that the thickness of each pad is 0. 5 mm or more. 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. If other types of oil are used, it may cause problems with brake operation, and cause the system to be unuseable. [. . . ] Do not use commercially-available brake cleansers or silencing agents, as they can cause damage to parts such as seals. · 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. 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. 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. Loosen the caliper fixing bolts so that the caliper can move sideways, and then install the adapter to the frame. 2. Depress the brake lever so that the rotor is being clamped by the pads, and then tighten the caliper fixing bolts. International standard mounting type < Front > Adapter fixing bolts Adapter Tool 5. Install the new brake pads, and then Post mounting type Provisionally install the caliper to the frame (so that the caliper can move sideways), depress the brake lever so that the rotor is being clamped by the pads, and then tighten the caliper fixing bolts. [. . . ] Depress the brake lever as far as it will go, and then operate it several more times so that the two pistons all move to their initial positions. TL-LR15 5. Remove the pad spacers, install the wheel, and then check that there is no interference between rotor and the calipers. Either a cap method or a wire ring method can be used to stop the bolts from turning. 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. [. . . ]
