CONGRATULATIONS
Assembly of your Elite Cobalt Spin bike is now complete! Be sure to fully inspect your machine
before using it for the rst me.
Failure to visually check and test and tech the assembly before use can cause damage to the
Elite Cobalt Spin bike and serious injury to users and bystanders and can also compromise the
eecveness of your exercise program.

11
ELITE SPIN BIKE ASSEMBLY MANUAL
Having your bike seat adjusted to the right
height is essenal for a comfortable ride,
ecient pedalling and avoiding injury. There
are 2 adjustments located on the seat post. The
rst is a vercal height adjustment, the second
is for horizontal seat posion. Although there
are many methods and opinions on the opmal
saddle seng, the following is a quick an easy
method to get started. Further adjustments can
be made aerwards to opmise your posion
and comfort.
Saddle Height Adjustment
— Place your heels on the bike pedals and
pedal backward. Your legs should be fully
extended with your knees straight. If your
hips rock from side to side while pedalling
backward, the seat is too high.
— Place the ball of your foot on the pedal.
There should now be a slight bend in your
knee when the pedal is at its lowest point.
This is a good starng point.
Adjusting the Seat Fore-and-Aft Position
Once you’ve adjusted seat height, it’s me
to nd the correct fore-and-a posion of
the saddle. This determines where you sit
in relaonship to the crank set (where the
pedals are aached), which helps decide how
comfortable and ecient you’ll be when riding.
This also minimises stress to the knee by being
in a more neutral posion.
If you want to try to check the fore-and-a
seng at home, you will need a second person
and a plumb line (a length of string with a nut
or washer ed on the end will work ne).
Whilst sing on the seat saddle bring your right
crank arm around and have your helper stop
the crank when the pedal is at three o’clock
or parallel with the oor. Note that for this
measurement to be accurate, your shoes must
be correctly posioned on the pedals (the balls
of your feet should be over the pedal axles).
Saddle Height Adjustment Adjusting the Seat Fore-and-Aft Position
SETTING YOUR SPIN BIKE UP

12
Please note: The spin bikes shown in the ‘setting up your spin bike’ section are for demonstration purposes only and your
spin bike my vary in aesthetics and features.
Holding this posion, have your helper place
the end of the plumb line (line of string with
nut/washer) on the front of your leg, at a point
just below the bony protrusion that’s beneath
the kneecap.
The plumb line’s weight should hang over your
shoe. Check again to ensure that the crank-arm
and pedal are level. By looking at the plumb
line the knee should be in alignment with the
centre spindle or axle of the pedal. Adjust the
saddle to the correct posion then ghten the
locking pin.
Handle Bar Adjustment
The posioning of the handlebars can be
dependent on the bike design and adjustability
available.
To minimise back strain, adjust the height
to a level that is comfortable for you. We
recommend the handlebars be posioned at
the same height level as the bike seat as a good
starng point.

ELITE SPIN BIKE ASSEMBLY MANUAL
Before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance on your spin bike, ensure the power is turned o
and the power cord removed from the plug socket.
Prolong the life of your spin bike by performing periodic maintenance checks. Not only does this
ensure your machine is in full working order to ensure they connue to run smoothly and reliably,
but it will save you service costs in the long run.
— General cleaning of the unit aer use will protect the bikes powder-coated framework and
prevent unnecessary corrosion stains and damage to the structural components from sweat
and perspiraon.
— Check all nuts and bolts securing the framework, seat and handlebar assemblies are ght.
— Ensure the pedals are securely aached to the crank arms. When ghtening pay aenon to
the reverse thread (ghtening An-clockwise) on the le hand pedal assembly, when sing on
the bike. Be careful not to strip or force the pedal thread when ghtening.
Friction Brake Pad System
Where a felt-type brake pad system is used, periodically lubricate the pad with a silicone based
spray to prolong it’s service life. Do NOT use WD40 or similar lubricants. Ensure the contact surface
on the ywheel is kept clean and free of debris and sweat.
If a leather material brake pad is used, no lubricaon is required.
NOTE: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OVERTIGHTEN THE TENSION DIAL ADJUSTMENT, OVER TIGHTENING
MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE SHAFT THREAD.
Magnetic Braking System
If you have a magnec spin cycle, there is normally no adjustment necessary as they use a low
maintenance non-fricon resistance system. Periodically check the movement of the magnec
brake via the cable level or tension dial to ensure it does not come into contact with the rotang
ywheel at any me. The ywheel surface should be kept clean and free of dust debris and sweat.
Chain Driven
The chain will require periodic lubricaon of the chain to maintain a smooth and quiet moon. The
chain guard may need to be removed to perform this procedure. You may wish to put a drop sheet
or similar under your bike to protect your oor coverings.
Before lubricang the chain, use an old rag to remove any old oil or residue from the chain. Lightly
apply a chain or mulpurpose oil to the chain. Secure the chain guard before using your bike.
Belt Driven
Belts do not require lubricaon, however through normal wear and tear they may stretch and
require forward adjustment of the ywheel to increase the belt tension if any slippage occurs. The
adjustable tension bolts are normally found aached to the ywheel axle. DO NOT over-ghten,
only enough to stop any slipping of the belt drive system.
If you require further assistance or advice contact the Elite Fitness Service Department or your
nearest Elite Fitness Store.

Warm up exercise is important in preparing the muscles for acvity whilst minimising the risk
of injury. You may choose to warm up with a light/brisk walking pace for 5-10 minutes before
stopping and performing some simple stretches. (As shown in the pictures below)
— Hamstring Stretch (Standing) Keep your knees slightly bent and slowly lean forward, back
and shoulders relaxed, reaching towards your toes. You should feel the tension and slight
discomfort in your hamstring muscles. Hold for 15-20 seconds.
Repeat 2-3 mes.
— Hamstrings Stretches (Seated) Sing on the oor preferably on
a mat, put one leg straight, the other inward and close to the
inside of the straight leg. Lean forward from the hips, reaching
towards your toes. Hold for 10-15 seconds, and relax. Repeat 3
mes for each leg (See picture 2).
— Crus and Feet Tendon Stretches Standing with two hands on
the wall or tree, one leg behind. Keeping your legs straight and
the heel on the ground, lean forward towards the wall or tree.
Hold for 10-15 seconds, and relax. Repeat 3 mes for each leg
(See picture 3).
— Quadriceps Stretches Keeping your balance with your le hand
holding onto a wall or staonery xture, grasp your right foot
with your right hand and stretch your right heel toward your
buocks slowly, unl you feel the stretch in the front of your
thigh. Hold for 10-15 seconds, and relax. Repeat 3 mes for
each leg (See picture 4).
— Sartorius (Inner Muscles of the Thigh) Muscle
— Stretches Sing down with the soles of your feet or shoes
together and your knees posioned outward. Pull your feet
towards your groin unl you can feel the stretch. Hold for 10-15
seconds, and relax. Repeat 3 mes (See picture 5).
WARM-UP EXERCISE

17
ELITE SPIN BIKE ASSEMBLY MANUAL
Cardiovascular training plays an important part in maintaining a healthy heart and lung funcon, so
it’s no surprise we should be paying aenon to how quickly our heart beats during exercise. The
chart above outlines a range of heart rate training zones determined by the individual’s age and
workout goals to ensure you train safely and eecvely.
Heart Rate can be measured by using the radial (wrist) or carod (neck) pulse using your index and
middle ngers, counng the beats for 10 seconds and mulplying by 6. Alternavely, the use of a
Wireless Telemetry Heart Rate strap and watch will give you an accurate Beats Per Minute (BPM)
reading.
220 – AGE = TMHR (Theorecal Maximum Heart Rate)
TMHR x 85% = (Upper Training Limit) bpm (Beats per Minute)
TMHR x 65% = (Lower Training Limit) bpm
Note: Contact heart rate may provide innaccurate readings and is designed only as a guide
Example: 220 – 39 = 181 bpm
181 x 85% (0.85) = 154 bpm (Upper Training Limit)
181 x 65% (0.65) = 118 bpm (Lower Training Limit)
