Front & Rear Stabilizer Assembly
With the help of an assistant, attach the Front Stabilizer
(#03) to bracket at the front of Main Frame (#01). Insert two
Carriage Bolts (#14) through the Front Stabilizer (#03)
followed by the front Main Frame (#01). Secure them
together using two Washers (#20) and two Nuts (#19).
Now attach the Rear Stabilizer (#02) to the bracket at rear
of Main Frame (#01). Insert two Carriage Bolts (#14)
through the Rear Stabilizer (#02) followed by the rear
Main Frame (#01). Secure them together using two Washers
(#20) and two Nuts (#19).
USING THE ADJUSTABLE BOLTS
The Adjustable Bolts (#13) located on the bottom corners
are a security feature that allow you to adjust the height
of the bike in a case such as uneven floors. You should only
exercise on the bike if it is on an even plane to avoid serious
injury.
Slip one Nut (#15) on each Adjustable Bolt (#13) as shown
in the exploded diagram below. If necessary, turn the
Adjustable Bolt (#13) until the desired position is reached
so that the bike is on a flat plane.

Assembly Instructions
R e v e r s i b l e M o v e m e n t
Forward pedaling emphasizes your quadricep muscles (front thighs), while backward pedaling emphasizes your hamstrings
(back thighs). The Pro Cycle Trainer allows you to make your workout less fatiguing, more fun, and more effective with forward
and backward movement functionality.
P e d a l & S p e e d S a f e t y
The Pro Cycle Trainer features an incredibly smooth flywheel for seamless workout movement. However, please note that the
flywheel and pedals can become safety hazards when extreme speed and momentum are used. We do not advise that you stand
and pedal on the bike simultaneously. If you prefer a workout session with greater speed and momentum, please remove the
straps of the Pedals (09L/R) to avoid your ankles and/or feet from getting caught by the momentum. If straps are removed, please
remember to place them back onto the Pedals (09L/R) after your workout session to avoid injury to yourself and those around you.
Always wait for the flywheel, crank, and pedals to come to a complete stop before you dismount the bike to avoid serious injury.
A.) Adjusting the Tension:
Increasing or decreasing the tension allows you to add variety to your workout sessions by adjusting
the resistance level of the bike.
To increase tension and increase resistance (requiring more strength to pedal), turn the Emergency
Brake (#41) & Tension Control Knob (#40) to the right.
To decrease tension and increase resistance (requiring less strength to pedla), turn the Emergency
Brake (#41) & Tension Control Knob (#40) to the left.
B.) Using the Emergency Brake Function:
The same knob that allows you to adjust the tension of the bike also doubles as the Emergency
Brake. Use this safety feature in any situation where you would need to get off the bike and/or
stop the bike’s flywheel.
To use the Emergency Brake function in any situation you would need it in, firmly press down
on the Emergency Brake (#41) & Tension Control Knob (#40).

Safety & Maintenance
• Make sure all nuts, bolts, and screws are tightened prior to use.
• Be sure that all adjustment locking devices and safety devices are properly engaged prior to use!
• Never over-tighten the above-mentioned devices and parts to avoid damage to the unit.
• Check for loose parts and components prior to use.
• Check to see if there are any tears or bends in the welding or metal prior to use.
• Extreme care must be taken to not allow your feet, fingers, hair, clothing, and/or any loose items to be
snagged into any portion of the bike when the flywheel is in motion. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in serious injury, including the loss of fingers.
• Always wait for the flywheel, pedals, and cranks (which can gain great momentum during riding) to
come to a complete stop before dismounting the bike to avoid serious injury.
• To avoid rust or corrosion to the flywheel caused by moisture and sweat, we advise wiping and drying
the flywheel and surrounding parts with a dry absorbent towel after each workout session.
• Do not use solvent cleaners. If you are in any doubt, do not use your cleansing product;
contact CUSTOMER SUPPORT.
• When bike is not in use, the resistance should be left loose, NOT tightened down against the flywheel.
You can do this with the easy-to-adjust tension knob. This will ensure longer life of the Friction Belt.
• You can maintain your bike by using certain products. However, be careful not to allow lubricants
to get onto the circumference of the flywheel where the Friction Belt rubs against. This will
prevent the friction mechanism from working properly. Please contact our CUSTOMER SUPPORT
if you have questions regarding the cleaning of your bike.
