Adjustments & setup
Take some time to learn how to properly adjust the bike to your body;
it will make your workouts more pleasant and a safer experience too�
Riding the bike when it is incorrectly adjusted can result in discomfort
and increase your risk of injury� ( Fig E )
Adjusting the support feet
The equipment is equipped with 4 support feet� If the equipment is
not stable, the support feet can be adjusted�
- Turn the support feet as required to put the equipment in a stable
position�
- Tighten the locknuts to lock the support feet�
‼ NOTE
• The machine is the most stable when all support feet are turned
fully in� Therefore start to level the machine by turning all
support feet fully in, before turning out the required support
feet to stable the machine�
Adjustment of Seat Position
Seat Height Adjustment:
- Standing next to the bike, adjust seat until it is about hip height�
- Rotate crank arms until the pedals are in the vertical position
- Place your foot in toe cage of pedal closest to the floor and
mount the bike� Ensure that the ball of your foot is over the centre
of pedal� Your leg should be slightly bent at the knee, about 5
degrees�
- If your leg is too straight or your foot cannot touch pedal you will
need to lower seat height� If your leg is bent too much you will
need to raise seat height�
- Dismount the bike� Loosen the quick release lever on seat tube and
adjust up or down as necessary�
- When seat is in the desired position, tighten the quick release lever
to secure the seat tube�
- Note the final position mark on the seat tube for future reference�
Seat Forward Adjustment:
- Sit on bike with crank arms in the 3 and 9 o'clock positions� For
road bike training, a proper forward/aft position of the seat is
achieved when small bump at the top of the shin is above pedal
axle�
- Dismount the bike� Loosen the quick release lever under the seat
and slide the seat forward or backward as desired; then tighten the
quick release lever�
Handlebar Adjustment
Handlebar Height Adjustment:
- The Handlebar height is a matter of preference� Start with a
handlebar height that is the same as the seat's height� Adjusting
the handlebar higher will give the rider a more upright position;
lower will result in a more crouched position�
- Raise or lower the handlebar by loosening quick release lever on
handlebar tube and adjust by sliding the handlebar mount up or
down as desired� Then tighten the quick release lever to secure the
handlebar tube� Note the final position mark on handlebar tube for
future reference�
Adjustment of Handlebar's Forward/Aft Position:
- Loosen the quick release lever under the handlebar and slide the
handlebar forward or backward as desired� Suitable forward/aft
position should allow the rider to comfortably grasp the handlebar
with a slight bend at the elbow�
- Tighten the quick release lever to secure the handlebar�
How to use our dual function pedal
Attaching Cleats to Your Shoes:
If you have questions it is recommended that you consult a bicycle
dealer for assistance, or refer to your shoe manufacturer's instructions�
When fixing the cleat the lateral centre line should be under the
centre of the ball of the foot� Adjust forward and backward via the
slots in the shoe sole� Adjust laterally via play between cleat washer
and cleat� Tighten cleats very firmly� Cleat position can be fine-tuned,
according to personal preference, after trial use� It may take time to
find your optimum cleat set-up� ( Fig� F )
Toe Clips:
All standard toe clips can be attached to the pedals� Use fixing
hardware and installation instructions supplied with toe clips and
ensure the attachment screws are firmly tightened before use�
To Use Pedals:
Engage cleated shoes in pedals by placing cleat between bindings
while pushing down� Disengage by twisting heel outwards away from
exercise bike�
Binding tension is adjustable and should be set so that cleat and shoe
do not disengage when pedalling� Use an Allen key to turn tension
adjusting screws, clockwise to increase binding tension, counter-
clockwise to decrease binding tension�
Basic operation
Now that you have established a proper riding position, take a
few minutes to ride the bike and determine that your position is
comfortable� Start pedaling at a slow pace with your toes and knees
pointed directly forward� Hold the handlebar lightly and in a position
that allows your shoulders and upper body to relax� Pedal easily, at
a low resistance until you feel confident that you could ride in that
position for the duration of your workout�
Adjusting resistance
- Pedalling resistance is controlled by the brake tension knob�
Resistance can be changed at any time by turning brake tension
knob: clock-wise for more resistance; counter-clockwise for less
resistance�
- For emergencies or braking, press the red resistance knob firmly to
stop the flywheel�
- Before dismounting, apply the brake to stop flywheel, or increase
resistance and let flywheel come to a stop�

The equipment does not require special maintenance� The
equipment does not require recalibration when it is assembled, used
and serviced according to the instructions�
⚠ WARNING
• Do not use solvents to clean the equipment�
- Clean the equipment with a soft, absorbent cloth after each use�
