Invictus Active Trackside User manual

Congratulations on purchasing the Invictus Active Trackside. Your Trackside is manufactured using
the very highest standard of materials and is produced by experienced craftsmen. When used in
accordance with these operating instructions it will offer years of reliable service.
Warning:
Read and follow all instructions carefully, the first time you use the Trackside it is strongly
recommended you have someone else in attendance and that they position themselves in a manner
that can help you on and off the Trackside should you need the support. The Trackside comes with a
retaining strap which we strongly recommend you use until such time that you are completely
confident that you will not flip out of the back of your race chair.
Safety Recommendations:
*NEVER use the Trackside on uneven surfaces, always setup your trainer on flat, even surface
*ALWAYS make sure parts are tightened and that all equipment is in good working order, including
your race chair!
*ALWAYS allow sufficient space to operate your Trackside safely
*KEEP CHILDREN AND PETS CLEAR of the Trackside when in use
*NEVER touch the rollers when they are in motion
*USE the retaining strap until you are confident that you will not flip out of the back of your race chair

You only need to undertake the following procedure the first time you fit your race chair to the
trackside. It’s worth taking your time to get this bit right as it will help optimise the performance of the
trackside.
Roller assembly:
1) Place the two units on a flat level surface side by side with the longer legs on the outside.
2) Align the two units and locate the spacer lock in the position shown (The spacer lock is universal
fitting either the front or rear), screw in two of the thumb nuts locking the front of the Trackside
together. (The front of the Trackside has the blank end cap inserted in the outer rail)
3) Repeat this process on the rear of the Trackside.
4) Roller Assembly

clamp lever and split the front wheel clamp into its front and rear parts( rear has clamp lever)
2) Insert the stand into the front half of the wheel clamp, the stand has two bars that align with the
two holes in the front wheel clamp, insert the stand so that the threaded bar is in the front hole of the

Clamping Bar assembly:
1) Slide the long clamping bar into the front and rear spacer locks.
2) Place the race chair on the Trackside.
3) With the race chair sat centrally on the rollers slide the clamping bar in and out until both rear
wheels nessel evenly between all 4 rollers. Gently rotate the one rear wheel, do both rollers rotate
equally? Are they in constant contact with the rear wheel when it’s being rotated? Rotate the rear
roller do the rear wheel and the front roller rotate when you do this? Now do the same with the front
roller, is it now causing the rear roller to rotate? Continue with minor adjustments in and out of the
clamping bar until you feel you have achieved the optimum contact with both rollers.
4) Repeat operation 3 on the other wheel until you feel you have optimum contact on all 4 rollers.
5) Tighten the two thumb nuts on top of the two spacer locks so that the long clamping bar is held
securely in position.

connect to your phone.

Wheel Momentum
The Trackside leaves our factory with its rollers set to match that of a race chair with a camber of 12
degrees. The Trackside is able to be adjust to suit a camber of 9 to 15 degrees. For the optimum spin
you should match the Trackside roller camber to that of your race chair.
With the tyre pressure of your race chair at maximum and the trackside rollers camber matching that
of your race chair the natural resistance of your trackside should be perfect for your warm up and cool
down routine.
With the addition of the Invictus Active Momentum Pack it's also possible for you to use your
Trackside as a training roller giving you the option to quickly change its application between
competitive trackside use or home training routines during those winter months.
Please visit our site for more information on adjusting the
Trackside camber and the Invictus Active Momentum Pack.
