WARNING TO PARENT / GUARDIAN
USE OF THIS PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE USER’S MANUALS IS ESSENTIAL FOR YOUR CHILD’S SAFETY. MAKE SURE YOU AND YOUR CHILD UNDERSTAND THESE USER’S MANUALS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE USER’S MANUALS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
WARNING

• These pedals are designed so that you release them only when intended. They are not designed to release  automatically at times such as when falling off the bicycle.
• Use only SPD shoes with this product. Other types of shoes may not release from the pedals, or may release unexpectedly.
• Use only CUBE/RFR cleats and tighten the mounting bolts securely to the shoes.
• Before attempting to ride with these pedals and shoes, make sure you understand the operation of the engagement / release mechanism for the pedals and cleats (shoes).
• Before you attempt to ride with these pedals and shoes, apply the brakes, then place one foot on the ground and practice engaging and releasing each shoe from its pedal until you can do so naturally and with minimal effort.
• Ride on level ground first until you become accustomed to engaging and releasing your shoes from the pedals.
• Before riding, adjust the spring tension of the pedals to your liking. If the spring tension of the pedals is low, the cleats may become accidentally released and you may lose balance and fall off the bicycle. If the spring tension of the pedals is high, the cleats cannot be easily released.
• When riding at low speed or when there is a possibility that you might need to stop riding, (for example, when  doing a U-turn, nearing an intersection, riding uphill or turning a blind curve), release your shoes from the pedal beforehand so that you can quickly put your feet onto the ground at any time.
• Use a lighter spring tension for attaching the pedal cleats when riding in adverse conditions.
• Keep cleats and bindings out of dirt and debris to ensure proper engagement and release.
• Remember to check the cleats periodically for wear. When the cleats are worn, replace them. Always check the
  spring tension before riding and after replacing the pedal cleats.

BE SURE TO READ AND FOLLOW THE ABOVE WARNINGS CAREFULLY.
If the warnings are not followed, your shoes may not come out of the pedals when you intend or they may come  out unexpectedly or accidentally, and severe injury may result.

• Be sure to attach reflectors to the bicycle when traveling on public roads.
• Optional reflectors are available for models that do not come equipped with reflectors as standard. For information on suitable reflectors, contact the place of purchase or a bicycle dealer.
• Do not continue riding the bicycle if the reflectors are dirty or damaged, otherwise it becomes more difficult for oncoming vehicles to see you.
• If you are not sure about how to adjust the pins on the pedals, consult a dealer or an agency.
• If the gripping force between the shoes and the pedals (the force which stops the shoes from slipping sideways) is insufficient, remove the spacers. This will increase the  ripping force. If the gripping force on the shoes is increased, you will not be able to disengage your feet from the pedals by sliding them sideways unless you first raise your feet from the pedals. To avoid falling off the bicycle and suffering serious injury, practice engaging and disengaging one foot from the pedal with the other foot firmly on the ground until you become used to the operation. If you cannot get used to this operation, install the spacers.
• Because the pins are long, they may cause injury if they come into direct contact with your skin. Be sure to wear clothing and protective gear which is suitable for the way in which the bicycle is to be used.

NOTE

• In addition, if pedaling performance does not feel normal, check this once more.
• If you experience any trouble with the rotating parts of the pedal, the pedal may require adjustment. Contact the place of purchase or a bicycle dealer.
• Parts are not guaranteed to resist natural wear or deterioration resulting from normal use.

REGULAR INSPECTIONS BEFORE RIDING THE BICYCLE

Before riding the bicycle, check the following items. If any problems are found with the following items, contact the place of purchase or a bicycle dealer.

• Are the fastening sections fixed securely?
• Is there a large gap between the cleats and the pedals because of wear?
• Are there any abnormalities in the engagement and release of the cleats?
• Are there any abnormal noises?

NAMES OF PARTS

ADJUSTING THE SPRING TENSION OF THE PEDALS

• The spring tension of the pedals can be adjusted by turning the adjustment screw.
• Clicking the adjustment screw changes the tension one step. There are three clicks per turn.
• The adjustment screw is located at the rear of each binding, resulting in four positions in total. (2 positions in total of both pedals for some models)
• Adjust the spring force to the optimal cleat holding force when releasing the cleats from the bindings.
• Equalize the cleat holding forces at four positions (2 positions for some models) by checking the adjustment plate position and counting the number of turns of the  adjustment screws.
• Turning the adjustment screw clockwise increases the spring tension, and turning it counterclockwise decreases

NOTE :

• In order to prevent accidental or unintentional release from occurring, make sure all the spring tensions are properly adjusted and check the spring tensions.
• If the spring tensions are not adjusted equally, it can cause the rider difficulty to engage or release from the
  pedals. The spring tension should be adjusted equally for both the right and left pedal.

USING THE PEALS AND CLEATS SINGLE RELEASE MODE CLEATS
Before riding the bicycle, check the following items. If any problems are found with the following items, contact the place of purchase or a bicycle dealer.
** WARNING**
Do not use the pedals and cleats in any way other than as described in these user’s manuals.
The cleats are designed to engage and release from the pedals when facing forward. See below for instructions on how to install the cleats.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
Single release mode cleats are available for use with these pedals. This type of cleat has its own distinctive features, so be sure to read the Service Instructions carefully
ENGAGING THE CLEATS WITH THE PEDALS
Press the cleats into the pedals with a forward and downward motion.

RELEASING THE CLEATS FROM THE PEDALS

Single release mode cleats:

• These cleats only release when the heel is moved outward.
They will not release if the heel is twisted in any other direction.

• Upward force may be applied to the pedal, since they will not release unless the foot is twisted outward.
• The cleats will not necessarily release if you lose your balance. Accordingly, for places and conditions where it  looks as though you may lose balance, make sure that you have sufficient time to release the cleats beforehand.
• When you are pedaling vigorously, your heel may inadvertently twist outward and this may cause the cleat to release accidentally. This can be prevented by adjusting the amount of force required to release the cleats; you should practice until you are accustomed to the amount of force and the angle required to release the cleats. If the cleat releases by accident, you may fall off the bicycle and serious injury may result.

REPLACEMENT OF THE CLEATS AND BODY COVER

The cleats and body cover are prone to wear and tear and need to be replaced periodically.
The cleats and body cover should be replaced at a dealer or an agency as soon as possible after they become worn and difficult to release, or release with much less effort than when they were new.

PEDAL MONTAGE

PEDAL INSTALLATION

Note there either, left and right pedals are different. One for the right (drive side), and one for the left (non-drive side). They often differ on the axle head and threading. Right pedals have right-hand threads, and left pedals have left-hand threads. Often there are markings, R for the right-side pedal, and L for the left-side pedal. In addition, to those  markings, the left axle head often has special markings or scores. See diagram for reference.

WARNING

• If you are not sure about how to adjust the pins on the pedals, consult a dealer or an agency.
• If the gripping force between the shoes and the pedals (the force which stops the shoes from slipping sideways) is insufficient, remove the spacers or switch to long pins to increase the force. This will increase the gripping force. If the gripping force on the shoes is increased, you will not be able to disengage your feet from the pedals by sliding  them sideways unless you first raise your feet from the pedals. To avoid falling off the bicycle and suffering serious injury, practice engaging and disengaging one foot from the pedal with the other foot firmly on the ground until you become used to the operation.
