- Prepare the Shifter: Ensure the shifter body is clean and free of debris. If replacing an old cap, carefully remove the existing cap and bolt.
- Position the Base Cap: Align the new base cap over the right-hand shifter mechanism. The cap should fit snugly into the designated grooves on the shifter body.
- Insert the Bolt: Place the provided bolt into the screw hole on the base cap.
- Aminta da Cap: Using a Phillips head screwdriver, gently tighten the bolt. Do not overtighten, as this can strip the threads or crack the plastic cap. Tighten until the cap is secure and does not wobble.
- Tabbatar da Shigarwa: Lightly attempt to move the cap to ensure it is firmly attached. Test the shifter's function to confirm smooth operation.

The base cap and bolt do not have an active operational function; rather, they serve a protective and structural role. Once installed, the base cap protects the internal shifting mechanisms from dirt, moisture, and impact, while the bolt ensures the cap remains securely in place during cycling. This contributes to the reliable and consistent operation of your Shimano XT M780 right-hand shifter.
