1. (A) Main body; (B) Handlebar; (F) Seat; (I) Rear stabilizer bar with adjustable feet; (J) Front
stabilizer bar with wheels; (L) Left pedal; (R ) Right pedal; (10) Slot head bolt M10; (9) Flat
washer M10; (8) Cap nut M10; (30) Double ended spanner; (m) Bottle holder.
2. ATTACHING THE HANDLEBAR
Insert the handlebar stem (B) into the hole on the main body (A), Fig 2. Position it correctly and
then tighten knob (Y) by turning it clockwise.
3. ATTACHING THE STABILIZER BARS
1. Position the machine’s rear stand on the rear stabilizer bar (I), as shown in Fig 3, insert the
bolts (10), fit the flat washers (9) and cap nuts (8) and then tighten securely.
2. Position the front stabilizer bar with wheels (J), paying attention to the red dots and with the

The right-hand pedal, marked with the letter (R), screws onto the right-hand crank, also
marked with an (R), in a clockwise direction. Tighten securely, Fig. 4.
The left-hand pedal, marked with the letter (L), screws onto the left-hand crank, also marked
with an (L), in a counterclockwise direction. Tighten securely, Fig. 4.
5. ATTACHING THE SEAT

then secure with bolts (m), (Fig. 6).
ADJUSTING THE SEAT HEIGHT
Loosen the seat post adjustment knob (T) slightly by turning it counterclockwise, Fig 7, move
the seat to a position comfortable for doing exercise and then tighten the adjustment knob (T)
securely by turning it clockwise.
HORIZONTAL ADJUSTMENT OF THE SEAT

EXERTION SETTINGS
To provide an even level of exertion during exercise, this appliance is equipped with a
tensioning control (P), located on the stem of the main body (B), Fig 6. This provides various
exertion settings when turned clockwise.
To increase pedal resistance turn the tensioning control (P) clockwise (+) until the exertion
level best suits your exercise requirements.
To reduce pedal resistance turn the tensioning control (P) counterclockwise (-).
During exercise the flywheel will get hot due to the braking effect, so when you have finished
exercising it is advisable to set the tensioning control (P) to minimum in order to help stop the
brake shoe from hardening.

EXERCISE GUIDE
CONDITION
To be in good physical condition means that one has the physical capacity to live everyday life
to the full. Modern society has created a life-style which features inactivity. Our diet has
become too rich and we suffer from too much stress. Medical opinion is unanimous on the
benefit of properly selected exercise to improve physical fitness, weight control and the ability
to relax.
WHAT EXERCISE DOES
Regular physical exercise above a certain minimum level and of a duration of 15 to 20 minutes
becomes aerobic. Aerobic exercise is exercise which fundamentally uses oxygen. It is normally
a continuous exercise without any breaks. That is in addition to a supply of sugar and fat the
body requires oxygen in the muscles. With regular exercise the ability to take oxygen into all
the muscles in the body increases: with better lung function, increased pumping capacity of the
heart and better operation of the whole blood circulatory system. Clearly the energy required to
exercise, burns off kilo-calories (more popularly known as Calories).
RELATION BETWEEN EXERCISE AND WEIGHT CONTROL
If one consumes more Calories than one burns, the result is a gain in weight. If conversely one
burns more Calories than is consumed one loses weight. At rest our bodies burn about 70
Calories per hour to keep the heart pumping, the lungs operating and all other organs
functioning. The table below shows some typical approximate energy losses for various
activities for a person of around 70 kg. (150 Lbs.).
ACTIVITY ENERGY LOSS PER HOUR IN CALORIES
Moderate walking 140
House work 150
Swimming (400 m/h) 300
Vigorous dancing 350
Vigorous walking (6km/h) 370
Tennis 420
Fast cycling (20 km/h) 600
Squash 690
MONITOR THE HEART BEAT
The body’s work rate is reflected by the rate of heart beat (pulsations) which increases as the
work rate increases. The effort in your workout depends on the resistance. If you increase the
resistance, the work rate and the heart rate increase too. If the work rate maintains constant,

the heart rate i
does not beat any faster. This is known as the maximum heart rate and it decreases with age.
A familiar formula for calculating this maximum heart rate, where exhaustion sets in, is 2
minus age.

Admitting that programs vary with age and fitness we point out that people of all ages have the
potential to adopt a fitness objective after consultation with a physician. The final goal is to
achieve a level of physical fitness, weight control or rehabilitation. Your program should be
gradual, planned, varied and safe. Our recommended schedule is three to five sessions of
aerobic exercise per week and lasting for about 20 - 25 minutes per session.

CHECKS AND MAINTENANCE
Clean dust from the cycle using th or towel. t lvents.
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean around the cycle. The cycle may be cleaned underneath by
laying it on its side.
From time to time, check that all fastenings are properly secured and tightened.
Check and tighten up all the parts on your unit every three months.
Use of this machine with worn or weakened parts may cause the user injury. If you have any
doubts about the condition of any part, we recommend that you replace it, using
manufacturer’s spare parts. Use of non original spare parts may cause injury or affect the
performance of the machine.
Finally, it is important to relax your muscles. To do this, continue exercising but at a lighter
