Using your Shimano PD-RS500 pedals is easy. First, attach the included SM - SH11 cleats to your cycling shoes. Then, when you want to clip in, just align your shoe cleat with the larger entry target on the pedal and step down. The lighter spring tension makes it a breeze, especially for beginners. To clip out, simply twist your heel outwards. When it comes to maintenance, keep the pedals clean. Wipe them down after each ride to remove dirt and debris. You can use a mild soap and water solution. Also, check the cleats regularly for wear and replace them if needed. If you notice any issues with the spring tension or the axle, it's a good idea to take them to a professional bike mechanic. Store your pedals in a dry place when not in use to prevent rust and damage.
