OpERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
Quick Start
• Simply start pedaling and way you go!
• The value of time, distance and calories will start counting upwards.
• Adjust the resistance level with the large dial control knob.
Computer Instructions
USING THE METER DESCRIPTION
POWER ON • Pedal movement or push the MODE button.
POWER OFF • Automatic shut off after four minutes of inactivity.
MODE BUTTON • Press to select display functions:
SCAN / TIME / SPEED / DISTANCE / CALORIES / HEART RATE
• Press and hold for three seconds to reset all functions to zero.
FUNCTIONS DESCRIPTION
SCAN • Automatically scans each functions every 4 seconds in the following sequence:
TIME / SPEED / DISTANCE / CALORIES / HEART RATE
• To activate, press and release MODE button until SCAN appears on the display.
TIME • Display the time for one second up to 99:59 minutes.
SPEED • Display the current speed from 0 to 999.9km per hour.
DISTANCE • Display the distance from 0 to 99.99km.
CALORIES • Display the calories consumption from 0 to 999,9 kcal.
• The calories readout is an estimate for an average user. It should only be used as a
comparison between workouts on this unit.
HEART RATE Display your heart rate in beats per minute. To display heart rate, select HEART RATE mode
and grasp the pulse sensors on the handlebars, one in each hand. The heart symbol will
begin flashing when the meter senses your heart rate. Your heart rate will be displayed
approximately five seconds after the heart icon is displayed. If you do not place your hands
correctly and 60 seconds passes without a heart rate reading, the meter will turn off the heart
rate circuit. If this occurs, press the MODE button to restart, place your hands back on the
pulse sensors correctly, and the heart rate readout will appear.
NOTE: The meter will shut off automatically after four minutes of inactivity. All function values will be kept. Push the MODE
button and hold it down for three seconds to reset all functions to zero.
Adjusting the resistance
This cycle features a speed independent braking (resistance) system. The resistance is controlled
by a magnet, which is moved closer or further away from the flywheel - the closer the magnet
is to the flywheel the higher the resistance. The magnet is controlled manually, by twisting the
knob. The resistance levels go from easy ( - ) to hard ( + ).

Adjusting the seat height
1. Unscrew the hand wheel.
2. Adjust the seat up or down to your required height. To line it up correctly, make sure the
number and line is visible at the top of the seat post mounting tube.
3. Re-screw the hand wheel and make sure it is screwed tightly.
4. The basic rule of getting the seat height right is that as the pedal reaches its lowest point,
the leg is almost straight.
Do not pull the seat out too far. The maximum is indicated with a piece of tape on the seat.
Leveling your cycle
To help you level the cycle on uneven surface, 2 height adjusters are included on
the rear stabilizers. Simply twist these around to adjust the height of the cycle.
Battery replacement instructions:
1. Open the battery compartment cover (Diagram 1).
2. Remove battery by pulling the battery in direction of spring and
lift opposite end upwards (Diagram 2).

(+ and -) on the batteries with the indicators in the battery
compartment. Push flat end ( - ) against spring and when clear
push other end into holder.

MAINTENANCE
Storage
Keep the equipment in a dry place with as little temperature variation as possible. Try to protect from dust and always unplug
when not in use. (if applicable)
Cleaning
Use a warm, damp cloth to wipe the surfaces. Mild detergent may be used if necessary.
WARNING: Never remove the protective casing.
Maintenance
Ensure you regularly check components for wear and make sure all the nuts and bolts are tightened before each exercise
session.
Troubleshooting
If you are having problems with your heart rate reading please note that some fibres used in clothes (eg. polyester) create static
electricity that may prevent a reliable heart rate reading. Mobile phones, TV’s, microwaves and other electrical appliances that
generate an electromagnetic field may also interfere with heart rate measurement.
If you are still having problems with your equipment, please get in touch with your local distributor using the details found in
the Customer Support page.
If you have a problem with your equipment, before you do anything else please check that all the cables have been
connected correctly. Loose cables are very common and many problems can be solved by making sure the cables are
properly connected.

FITNESS GUIDE
Starting And Finishing Your Workout
Begin and end each workout with a Warm Up / Down session - a few minutes of stretching to help prevent strains, pulls and
cramps.
Correct Cycling Form
• Sit on the cycle, with your feet on the pedals and inside the pedal straps.
• Ensure that the seat height is adjusted correctly - you should be stable and balanced whilst on the saddle. The basic rule
for getting the seat height right is that as the pedal reaches its lowest point, the leg is almost straight.
• Try to ensure that your back is straight whilst exercising, especially for long periods.
How Long Should I Exercise For?
That really depends on your current level of fitness. If you’re just starting out on a new exercise program, you should start
gradually and build up - do not try to do too much too quickly. 30 minutes, 3 times a week should be enough.
Don’t push yourself too hard - you should never feel exhausted during or following exercise.
Heart Rate Training
To get the most out of your new piece of fitness equipment and see the best results from your training you should exercise
at the right level of effort, and that means listening to your heart! Work out to a target heart rate means you can direct your
workout to achieve different goals:
Good health - For those wishing to improve quality of life and general well being. Your sessions will need to be done at an
intensity of between 50 - 60% of your estimated maximum heart rate, should last about 30 minutes and can be done on most
days of the week.
Weight loss - To see a significant reduction in body fat, your sessions must be a little more intense - between 60 and 70% of
your estimated maximum heart rate. These sessions can also be performed on most days of the week for up to 30 minutes.
Improving tness levels - These sessions should be performed at 70 - 80% of your estimated maximum heart rate and can also
involve bouts of interval training that would have your heart rate peaking for short times near your maximum heart rate level.
These are intense sessions and will require at least a 48 hour rest between sessions.
Calculating Your Target Heart Rate
First, you need to find your estimated maximum heart rate using the formula “220 minus your age in years”. So, if you are 35
years old your estimated maximum heart rate is:
220 - 35 = 185 beats per minute (bpm)
Next, to calculate your target heart rate, simply multiply your estimated maximum heart rate (185bpm) by the applicable
percentage. So, if your goal is better health:
185 x 60% = 111bpm
NOTE: The important issue to remember with all estimated calculations is that they are just estimates - if you don’t feel
comfortable exercising at your target then reduce it to a level you are comfortable with.
Heart rate training requires you to monitor your heart rate throughout the workout. For this we recommend using a chest strap
(if your machine has a wireless receiver) or a heart rate monitor. For more information please get in touch using the Contact Us
details.
Always consult your doctor before undertaking a new exercise regime.
If you experience nausea, dizziness or other abnormal symptoms during exercise, stop at once and consult your doctor.

forward and move your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15
counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. To cause
further stretching of the achilles tendons, bend your back leg
as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons and ankles.
3. Quadriceps Stretch
With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and
grasp one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close
to your buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax.
