RESISTANCE CONTROL AND EMERGENCY BRAKE
The preferred level of difficulty in pedaling (resistance) can be regulated in increments by use of the resistance buttons on the
console. To increase the resistance, push the up arrow. To decrease the resistance, push the down arrow.
IMPORTANT:
• To stop the flywheel while pedaling, push down hard on the
emergency brake until the brake rubs on the flywheel.
• The flywheel should quickly come to a complete stop.
• Make sure your shoes are fixed into the toe cage.
• Apply full resistance load when the bike is not in use to
prevent injuries due to moving drive gear components.
WARNING
The Indoor Cycle does not have a free moving flywheel;
the pedals will continue to move together with the flywheel
until the flywheel stops. Reducing speed in a controlled
manner is required. To stop the flywheel immediately,
push down hard the emergency brake. Always pedal in
a controlled manner and adjust your desired cadence
according to your own abilities. Push the emergency brake
down = emergency stop.
WARNING
The Indoor Cycle uses a fixed flywheel that builds momentum and will keep the pedals turning even after the user stops pedaling or if
the user's feet slip off. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE YOUR FEET FROM THE PEDALS OR DISMOUNT THE MACHINE UNTIL
BOTH THE PEDALS AND THE FLYWHEEL HAVE COMPLETELY STOPPED. Failure to follow these instructions may lead to loss of control
and the potential for serious injury.
