HOW TO MOVE THE INDOOR CYCLE
Due to the weight of the Indoor Cycle, it is recommended
that two persons move it. While one person lifts the back
of the indoor cycle, the second person firmly holds the
handlebar and tips the indoor cycle forward until it rolls
on the wheels. Carefully move the Indoor Cycle to the
desired location and then lower it.
If the Indoor Cycle rocks on the floor after being set
down, turn the leveling feet underneath the front or rear
stabilizer until the rocking motion is eliminated.
Leveling Feet
To reduce the risk of injury, use extreme caution
while moving the indoor cycle. Do not attempt to
move it over uneven surfaces and make sure there’s
a safety space of 20 inch (minimum) to the nearest
equipment is recommended.
WARNING
LOCATION OF THE
INDOOR CYCLE
Place the Indoor Cycle on a
level surface. There should be
6 feet (183 cm) of clearance
behind the Indoor Cycle, 3 feet
(91 cm) on each side and 1 foot
(30 cm) in front of the Indoor
Cycle. Do not place the cycle
in any area that will block any
vent or air openings. The Indoor
Cycle should not be located in
a garage, covered patio, near
water or outdoors.

HOW TO ADJUST THE INDOOR CYCLE
The Indoor Cycle can be adjusted for maximum comfort and exercise effectiveness. The instructions below describe one
approach to adjusting the Indoor Cycle to ensure optimal user comfort and ideal body positioning; you may choose to adjust the
Indoor Cycle differently.
SADDLE ADJUSTMENT
Proper saddle height helps ensure maximum
exercise efficiency and comfort, while
reducing the risk of injury. Adjust the saddle
height to make sure it’s in proper position, one
that keeps a slightly bend in your knee while
your legs are in the extended position.
HANDLEBAR ADJUSTMENT
Proper position for the handlebar is based
primarily on comfort. Typically, the handlebar
should be positioned slightly higher than
the saddle for beginning cyclists. Advanced
cyclists could try different heights to get the
arrangement most suitable for you.
A
B

8
TO ADJUST THE SADDLE HEIGHT:
Rotate the adjustment knob counterclockwise and adjust the saddle to a comfortable pedaling position. Rotate the lever
clockwise to lock saddle position.
TO ADJUST THE SADDLE HORIZONTAL POSITION:
Rotate the adjustment knob counterclockwise to slide the saddle forward or backward as desired. Rotate the lever clockwise to
lock saddle position. Test the saddle slide for proper operation.
Do not adjust the
saddle position
beyond the stop
marks on the
saddle slider
Do not adjust
saddle height
beyond the
stop mark on
the stem

9
TO ADJUST THE HANDLEBAR HEIGHT:
Rotate the adjustment knob counterclockwise to adjust the handlebar height. Raise or lower the handlebar to the desired
height. Rotate the lever clockwise to lock handlebar position.
TO ADJUST THE PEDAL STRAPS:
Place each foot ankle on the pedal and in the toe clip that the foot ankle is centered over the pedal spindle (center of the
pedal). Rotate one foot to arms reach and pull up on the toe clip strap. Repeat for the other foot. Keep your knees over your
feet as you pedal. To remove your foot from the toe clip, loosen the strap and pull out.
Do not adjust the
handlebar height
beyond the stop
mark on the stem
The pedal straps should
be adjusted to hold the
foot snugly in the pedal.

10
TENSION CONTROL AND EMERGENCY BRAKE
The preferred level of difficulty in pedaling (resistance) can be regulated in fine increments by use of the tension control
knob. To increase the resistance, turn the tension control knob clockwise. To decrease the resistance, turn the knob counter
clockwise.
IMPORTANT:
• To stop the flywheel while pedaling, push down on the
yellow emergency brake lever.
• The flywheel should quickly come to a complete stop.
• Make sure your shoes are fixed into the toe clip.
• Apply full resistance load when the bike is not in use to
prevent injuries due to moving drive gear components.
Tension control knob
Emergency brake
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 the
yellow emergency brake lever. Always pedal in a controlled
manner and adjust your desired cadence according to your
own abilities. Push the yellow lever 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.
WARNING

ASSEMBLY
There are several areas during the assembly process that special attention must be paid. It is very important to follow the
assembly instructions correctly and to make sure all parts are firmly tightened. If the assembly instructions are not followed

prevent damage to the indoor cycle, the assembly instructions must be reviewed and corrective actions should be taken.
