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.
PEDAL STRAP ADJUSTMENT
Please do not adjust
saddle height beyond the
stop mark on the stem.
Please do not adjust the
handlebar height beyond
the stop mark on the stem

14 15
SADDLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Proper horizontal adjustment of the saddle is very important in avoiding injury to the knees. Sit on the saddle and move the pedals
until the crank arms are in horizontal position.
Using your forward most leg as a marker, your kneecap should be directly above the center of the pedal so that a straight line is
created between knee and center of the pedal (see the dotted line in image below). To adjust the horizontal position of the saddle,
first dismount the indoor cycle. Next, loosen the rear adjustment knob, slide the saddle forward or backward as required, and then
retighten the knob.
HANDLEBAR ADJUSTMENT
Begin with the top of the handlebar at relatively the same height or just slightly higher than the top of the saddle (dotted horizontal
line A in the drawing below) and at a neutral fore/aft position (see dotted vertical line B in drawing below). If your knees touch the
handlebars or if you experience back discomfort while pedalling for extended periods of time, the height of the handlebars can be
adjusted. First, dismount the indoor cycle. Next, turn the front adjustment knob counter clockwise, slide the handlebar post up or
down, and then retighten the adjustment knob.
Changing your hand position can change the angle of your back, neck, and arms. To minimize the stress on your muscles during your
workouts, change your hand position frequently.
A
B
RESISTANCE ADJUSTMENT
The preferred level of difficulty in pedalling (resistance) can be regulated in fine increments by use of the resistance knob. To increase
the resistance, turn the resistance knob clockwise. To decrease the resistance, turn the knob counter clockwise.
IMPORTANT: To stop the flywheel (wheel) while pedalling, push down on the red brake knob. The flywheel should quickly
come to a complete stop. Please make sure your shoes are fixed into the toe clip or in case cycling shoes are used your shoe cleat is
connected to the pedal binding while ridding. Please apply full resistance load when Bike is not in use to prevent from injuries due to
moving drive gear components.
WARNING: The Indoor Cycle does not have a free moving flywheel (wheel); 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 break knob. Always pedal in a controlled manner and adjust your desired cadence according to your own
abilities. Push the red knob down = emergency stop
Yellow Resistance Knob Emergency Brake

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. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, use extreme caution while
moving the indoor studio 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).
If the Indoor Cycle rocks on the floor after being set down, turn the levelling feet underneath the front or rear stabilizer until the
rocking motion is eliminated. Important: Please do not unscrew the levelling feet more than ½ inch !

MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance must be performed on the Indoor Cycle for optimal performance and longevity. Please read and follow all
instructions below. If the Indoor Cycle is not maintained as described, components may wear excessively and the Indoor Cycle may
become damaged. Improper maintenance will void the warranty terms. If you have questions about maintenance, contact your local
distributor.
Note: Many maintenance procedures require lubricant spray. Manufacturer recommends WD40, Brunox or a similar solvent free lubricant.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
1. Make sure that the Indoor Cycle is level. If the indoor cycle rocks on your floor, turn the levelling feet underneath the front or rear
stabilizer until the rocking motion is eliminated.
2. After exercising, the Indoor Cycle should be disinfected and cleaned to maintain a hygienic environment. First, apply a disinfectant
spray to the handlebars and the saddle. Using a lint-free cloth, dry the handlebars and the saddle. Next, apply a small amount of
disinfectant to a lint-free cloth and clean the adjustment knobs and the adjustment handles. Avoid using strong detergents on the
Indoor Cycle frame.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
1. Apply a small amount of the lubrication spray to a lint-free cloth, and thoroughly clean the frame, the handlebar slider and seat
sliders the flywheel and the plastic parts of the Indoor Cycle.
2. (Pictured right) For optimal performance of the resistance system, and to minimize
wear on the brake pad, the solvent free lubricant spray should be applied to the brake
pad using the lubrication holes on the plastic part of the brake pad. If fuzz or lint appears
on the brake pad, the brake pad has become too dry—lubricant spray should be applied
more frequently. Make sure the brake pad is thoroughly soaked from end to end with
lubricant spray. Then, wipe the excess off.
BI-WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
1. (Picture right) The Indoor Cycle should not be used if the Emergency Brake System is not working
properly. While sitting on the saddle and pedalling, test the brake by pushing down the brake knob.
The flywheel should come to a quick and complete stop.
Belt driven Bike
Important: A loose belt as well as an over-tightened belt will cause damage to the belt and drive system.
Checking Belt Tension:
To check for a loose belt, sit on the saddle, place your feet on the pedals, move the pedals until the
crank arms are horizontal. Next, push down the emergency brake handle and hold it. Then, stand on
the pedals and rock forward and backward. There should be no more than 1/8th inch (2–3 mm) of
play in the belt. If there is too much play in the belt, this indicates that the belt is too loose.
Correcting Belt Tension:
To correct a loose belt: To adjust the belt, pull off the right and the left maintenance covers (A).
Loosen the axle nut (B) on both ends of the flywheel axle two full turns.
Loosen the Outer Adjustment Nut (C) facing the head of the Allen bolt on each side of the flywheel.
Then, turn both (right and left sides) of the Inner Adjustment Nuts (D) on the inside of the flywheel
bracket 1/4 of a turn at a time (upward on the R side and downward on L side) until the belt is
properly adjusted. Make sure to turn both adjustment screws exactly the same amount to avoid
misalignment of the flywheel. Re-check the amount of play in the belt as described at the beginning of
this step. If necessary, readjust the belt.
Finally, retighten the two Outer Adjustment Nuts (C) and the two axle nuts (B), and reattach the
maintenance covers.
To avoid damage to the flywheel bearings, do not over tighten the axle nuts (B). Unusual noises
or vibrations are indications that the belt has been over tightened or that the flywheel is at
a wrong angle.
