tightness BEFORE placing the bike in
the water. Before riding, always check
that the seat post is securely clamped.
Riding with an improperly tightened
seat post can allow the saddle to slip
and/or fall.

Tidalwave Operating Instructions
The Tidalwave Pool Bike was designed for use in and out of the water. To use in water, use the wheels at
the front of the bike to roll the bike down the pool wall into the water. Optimal water depth is 3-5 feet
(0.9 to 1.5 meters). See FIG. 9 & FIG. 10 below.

*Frame not shown for clarity
The Tidalwave pool bike comes with multiple levels of resistance, similar to a stationary bike. The
resistance adjustment knob is located on the main frame. To increase resistance for a harder workout,
turn the knob clockwise. To decrease resistance, turn the knob counter-clockwise. See FIG. 11 and
FIG. 12 below.
NOTE: Always begin pedaling on the easiest level and increase resistance to more dicult settings
while pedaling. Never start pedaling at high resistance as you may experience a transmission bind
up. However, if this does occur, release the resistance back to easy and begin again.

Tidalwave Resistance Adjustment Instructions
After riding the Tidalwave Pool Bike a few times (and all the components get broken in) users may nd
the need to reset the resistance. To do this:
- Set the resistance adjustment knob to the lowest setting by turning the knob counterclockwise.
- Slightly loosen the screw, using a phillips screw driver, on the back of the frame that connects to the
resistance adjustment knob. See FIG. 13 below.
- Slide the resistance adjustment knob assembly up the frame (towards the seat) within the slotted hole.
Very slight movement should be all that is necessary. See FIG. 14 below.
- Retighten the screw on the back of the frame.
- Test the new resistance level.
- Repeat these steps as many times as necessary until a comfortable tension is set.
