stable surface.
4) Start pedalling and look ahead, like on the road. Even if
you would instinctively tend to look at the front wheel, you
will keep balance better and pedal "in a straight line" if you
concentrate on an object located 2.5 – 4 metres (10-15
feet) in front of you.
5) If you start leaning or shift to the side of the drums,
correct your position with very light steering movements. If
you steer to much you will lose balance or end up over the
side of the rollers.
6) Keeping a fast and smooth pedalling style will help you
stay balanced on the rollers, thanks to the gyroscopic
effect of the wheels.
7) At first, pedalling on the rollers will give you a feeling of
instability, and moving the handlebar too abruptly or pedal-
ling heavily can make you lose control. The big advantage
of the rollers, compared to standard training tools, is that
the rollers teach you to reduce the movement of the upper
part of your body and maintain a steady pedalling pace.
13_END USE
- For carrying, or to save space when not using the roller,
it is advisable close the frame. Pay attention to the position
of hands when closing the roller, to avoid squashing them
between the two side members. To close the frame, place
hands at the ends of the side members (Fig. 9).
- Therefore avoid placing hands in such a way that can
become squashed between the side members (Fig. 10).
- To facilitate carrying, it is advisable to hold it by the
special grips located at the hinges (Fig. 11).
14_CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1) Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause defor-
mation of the technopolymer rollers. Do not use or keep the
rollers in places where they are exposed to direct sunlight.
2) Always clean the rollers after use. Only use a damp
cloth. Do not use solvents or harsh detergents.
3) If the Arion Digital Smart B+ is not going to be used for
a prolonged period, release the drive belt, bringing it out of
its seat, or close it, otherwise the belt's tension could cause
early loss of transmission efficiency.
4) The coupled bearings on the roller do not require lubri-
cation and are practically maintenance-free.
5) Periodically check the roller clamping screws, make
sure that they are still tight but not so tight as to damage
the plastic frame.
6) Do not leave the charger connected to the roller.
7) In case of wear or breakage of the drive belt, replace it
by proceeding as follows:
A) Remove the rectangular covers (C) from both front
longitudinal members (with aid of a screwdriver if necessa-
ry), and the screws and washers from the front roller on
both sides, using the Allen key I) supplied.
B) Undo the fixing screw (Fig. 12).
C) Undo the fixing screw located on the longitudinal mem-
ber on the side opposite the magnetic resistance of the
middle roller G (Fig. 13).
D) Replace the belt, refit the rollers in their correct seats
and secure all the screws again.
E) Position the rectangular cover on its seat.
8) Drive belts and other spare parts for the Arion Digital
Smart B+ are available from you local Elite dealer.
15_ATTENTION
- Keep people, children and animals away from the roller
during use, since the moving and rotating parts of the roller
and the bicycle can cause damage in case of contact.
- Before starting training, position the trainer in a dry place,
away from potentially hazardous objects (furniture, tables,
chairs, etc.) in order to avoid any risk of inadvertent or
accidental contact with them.
- The roller is designed for use by a single rider.
- Do not use the bicycle brakes to stop. Rest a foot on the
Arion Digital Smart B+ frame and allow the bicycle to come
to a stop.
- Do not store the Arion Digital Smart B+ in wet or damp
places. The electronic components could become dama-
ged.

directives if the power adapter supplied is not used.
16_PACKAGING
If the roller needs to be shipped, careful packaging is
critical:
- remove the charger cable from the Arion Digital Smart
B+;
- put the cable in a humidity-free container;
- pack up the Arion Digital Smart B+ in its original box.
Concerning shipments, packages often undergo strong
shocks and bumps, so any non-original packaging might
irreparably damage the home trainer. Such damages are not
covered by the warranty.

components to customer service, constult Elite or its
distributor or your own retailer.
