Proper installation is crucial for the performance of your front derailleur. This section outlines the steps for mounting and initial cable routing.

4.1 Komponent overview

4.2 Montering av girkassen

1. Prepare the Seat Tube: Ensure the seat tube area where the derailleur will be mounted is clean and free of debris.
2. Position the Derailleur: Place the derailleur clamp around the seat tube. The outer plate of the derailleur cage should be parallel to the largest chainring. The bottom of the outer cage plate should be positioned 1-3 mm above the teeth of the largest chainring.
3. Stram til Clamp: Securely tighten the derailleur clamp bolt to the manufacturer's specified torque (refer to Shimano's official dealer manual for precise torque values). Do not overtighten.

4.3 Kabelføring

1. Trekk kabelen: Guide the shift cable from the shifter through the frame's cable guides to the front derailleur.
2. Fest kabelen: Pass the cable through the cable fixing bolt on the derailleur. Ensure the cable is routed correctly according to the derailleur's design (e.g., top-pull or down-pull, if applicable, though FD-4700 is typically down-pull).
3. Initial Tension: Pull the cable taut by hand and tighten the cable fixing bolt. Do not apply excessive tension at this stage.

5. Betjening og justering

After installation, fine-tuning the derailleur is essential for smooth and reliable shifting.

5.1 Low Limit Adjustment (L-Screw)

1. Shift the rear derailleur to the largest cog and the front derailleur to the smallest chainring.
2. Turn the crank arm slowly. Adjust the L-screw (low limit screw) until there is a 0.5-1 mm gap between the inner plate of the derailleur cage and the chain.

5.2 Cable Tension Adjustment

1. Shift the front derailleur to the largest chainring.
2. If the chain does not shift smoothly to the largest chainring, increase cable tension by turning the barrel adjuster counter-clockwise. If shifting is difficult, decrease tension by turning it clockwise.
3. Fine-tune until shifting is crisp and consistent.

5.3 High Limit Adjustment (H-Screw)

1. Shift the rear derailleur to the smallest cog and the front derailleur to the largest chainring.
2. Turn the crank arm slowly. Adjust the H-screw (high limit screw) until there is a 0.5-1 mm gap between the outer plate of the derailleur cage and the chain.

5.4 Trim Adjustment

The Tiagra FD-4700 may feature trim positions to prevent chain rub in certain gear combinations. Consult your shifter's manual for specific trim operation instructions.

6. Vedlikehold

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your front derailleur.

• Rengjøring: Periodically clean the derailleur cage and body with a mild degreaser and brush. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
• Smøring: Apply a light lubricant to the pivot points of the derailleur and the shift cable where it enters the housing. Avoid over-lubrication, which can attract dirt.
• Undersøkelse: Regularly check for any signs of wear, damage, or loose bolts. Ensure the derailleur cage is not bent. Replace worn or damaged components immediately.
