Setting up your trainer:
Brake assembly:
Your Trainer is supplied with the brakes unassembled and requires two 13mm spanners for assembly
(Spanners not supplied).
The bolt, washers and nut are on each unit in the correct position and order – please take note of how
these are ordered as image below.
1) Using the 13mm spanners remove the nut and one of the washers – ensure two washers remain in
place.
2) Slide the brake on to the bolt – ensure the hook type end is facing down and allow brake stop to rests
on top of the frame.

3) Slide the one washer back onto bolt and then tighten nut.
Important:
When assembled correctly your brake should be stiff to move - to operate correctly it relies on this
friction fit to engage the locking spigot on the rollers.

Trainer alignment:
1) Place the units on a flat level surface side by side with the brakes levers on the outside.
Align the two units side by side, hold the spacer in position, screw in two of the short thumb nuts locking
the two units together.
There is one spacer at the front and one at the rear of the trainer.
Important:
Ensure thumb nuts are tight and secure as the front spacer is used for retaining strap Cabina hook.

Ramps:
1) Slot the ramps in place with the longer ramp edge on the outside (longer edge on brake lever side).

Trainer Smart  assembly:
Record your speed, distance and heart rate – you can upgrade at any time!
1) Slot the sensor in position passing it through the two holes in the top and underside of the frame.
Ensure the sensor arm is in line with the magnet on the roller - approx 4mm away from the magnet as it
rotates. Gently push or pull the sensor to adjust sensor arm so distance is correct.
You will see a blue light flashing on the sensor when it has connected and is in the correct position. (To
activate the sensor you may need to put the magnet close initially)
2) To record speed, distance and heart rate - see separate ‘setting up sensor’ instructions and how to
connect to your phone.

Using the trainer:
Getting on:
1) Ensure the brake is in the ON position.
Brake on
Brake off
2) To get onto the trainer line each wheel in the middle of each ramp
Then reverse backwards slowly up the ramp - if possible leaning forward slightly – until you are on
rollers and in position. Check each wheel is approximately in the middle of each roller.

Retaining strap:
We advise that the retaining strap is used at all times.
Before getting on the trainer place the cabina through the hole in the front spacer lock
Once on the trainer pass the hook end of the rope past the front of your foot rest so that the rope sits
between the front of your feet.
To release there is a release ‘button’ on the unit which when pulled loosens the rope.
Important:
Place the hook over the front bar under your wheelchair seat (NOT THE REAR AXLE!) then pull the cord
to tighten and secure yourself in place.

Getting off:
When you have finished your work-out and ready to get off the trainer release the restraining strap
moving it out of the way ensuring it does not obstruct your exit down the ramp
Pull the brakes up until they are vertical which is the on position - push your wheels slowly until the roller
spigot pin engages with the brake, maintaining a constant pressure on your wheels push forward as
normal and go down the ramp.
Note: Once the rollers have engaged with the brake do not go backwards with your wheels.
