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.

16
TO ADJUST THE
SADDLE HEIGHT:
Rotating the knob to loosen the
screw, then pull out the knob and
adjust the saddle to a comfortable
pedaling position. Lock the screw
by rotating knob clockwise until it
tightens.
TO ADJUST THE SADDLE
LIVESTRONGTAL
POSITION:
Unscrew the saddle slider pin and
pull out the knob to slide the saddle
forward or backward as desired.
Re-apply the quick release lever and
screw clockwise to lock. 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

17
TO ADJUST THE
HANDLEBAR HEIGHT:
Rotating the knob to loosen the screw,
then pull out the knob and adjust the
handlebar height. Raise or lower the
handlebar to the desired height. Lock the
screw by rotating knob clockwise until it
tightens.
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

18
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
red brake knob (same knob as the tension control).
• 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 red
emergency brake knob. Always pedal in a
controlled manner and adjust your desired
cadence according to your own abilities.
Push the red knob down = emergency stop
WARNING

19
DISMOUNTING THE CYCLE
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.
