Assembly

1. Take all parts out of the carton and place them on a firm, flat surface. Remove all packing materials.

Check that all parts have been supplied. Note that some parts may have the necessary fasteners pre-

assembled –these will need to be removed during the assembly process.

2. Attach the front foot (has wheels) (2) and rear foot (3) to the main body (1). Attach each foot using 2 M6

coach screws (4), curved washers (5) and acorn nuts (6). Ensure that the screws are inserted from the

under side of the feet. Tighten (rotate right) the nuts firmly.

3. Bring the centre brace (7) near its location on the main body and connect the wiring in the main body

and centre brace together (A). Do not remove the rubber band holding the wiring at the top of the

centre brace (B) at this stage. Additionally, ensure that the tension adjuster is in the "1" setting (C) –the

tension cable will be at its longest at this setting.

4. Join the tensioning cables in the centre brace and main body together. The "ball" (D) on the end of the

centre brace tensioning cable must sit in the "hook" (E) in the connection bracket on the end of the main

body tensioning cable. Once the cable end is hooked into position, pull the cable collar (F) up and over

the slot (G) at the top of the cable connection bracket.

5. Slide the centre brace down over the main body –ensure that not cables or wiring are pinched or

caught. Secure the two parts together using 4 M8 button head screws (8) and curved washers (9).

Firmly tighten (rotate right) all fasteners using the Allen key.

6. Bring the pedal arms up to the main body in preparation for attachment. Ensure that the pedal arm

marked "R" (10) is on the right-hand side of the main body and the pedal arm marked "L" (11) is on the

left-hand side when standing behind the main body and looking towards the front. On the centre brace

mounting pivots (H) there is a plastic spacer (12), wave washer (13), retaining washer (14), and screw

(15). Remove the retaining washer and screw only. Do not remove any grease / lubricant that may be

on the mounting pivots.

7. Slide each pedal arm sleeve (I) over the mounting pivot –the wave washer should be

in-between the pedal arm sleeve and the plastic spacer. Re-install the retaining

washer and screw, then tighten the screw (rotate right) using the spanner until the

wave washer is starting to compress –do NOT flatten the wave washer as this may

cause binding and unnecessary friction.

It is critical that you follow the pedal arm to crank attachment procedure carefully to ensure

correct assembly. • During assembly, do NOT use excessive force to screw the pedal bolts into the

crank arms –this may indicate misalignment of the bolts or mis-matched threads. If the bolt does not "feel

right" when being screwed in, STOP immediately and check that it is the correct bolt and that it is aligned

properly with the crank arm. Failure to follow the instructions here or take due care may damage the

equipment and void any product warranty.

8. Starting with the right-hand pedal arm, identify

the right-hand pedal bolt assembly (16),

which is identified by having a right-hand

thread (this is the usual type –rotate right /

clockwise to tighten) and the nut (17) having a

light coloured ring (J). The pedal bolt

assembly includes a wave washer (18) and

washer (19). Remove the nut and washer

only from the pedal bolt. Do not remove any

grease / lubricant that may be on the bolt.

9. It is recommended that before actual

assembly, to check that the pedal bolt is

correct by screwing it into the crank arm (K)

several turns –this should require very little

effort. Take extra care when starting the bolt,

as the thread is fine. When you are certain

the bolt is correct, remove it then continue with the assembly procedure.

10. Insert the pedal bolt through the pedal arm sleeve (L). The wave washer should be in-between the

pedal arm sleeve and the head of the pedal bolt. Note that the pedal arm sleeve is able to pivot slightly

on the pedal arm –this allows you to rotate it enough so that the sleeve / bolt is at 90° to the crank arm

11. Very carefully begin screwing the pedal bolt into the crank arm (rotate right / clockwise) –it may be

necessary to "wiggle" the pedal arm sleeve a little to avoid possibly jamming the bolt and making it

difficult to turn. If the bolt does not "feel right" when being screwed in, STOP immediately and check that

it is the correct bolt and that it is aligned properly with the crank arm. When the wave washer is just

starting to compress (M), stop screwing the pedal bolt in –do NOT flatten the wave washer as this may

cause binding and unnecessary friction.

12. Insert the washer (19) and nut (17) onto the end of the pedal bolt. Hold the pedal bolt in position using

the Allen key so it does not rotate, then firmly tighten (rotate clockwise) the nut using the spanner.

13. Repeat steps 8 to 12 for the left-hand pedal arm, noting that the pedal bolt and crank arm thread

is left-hand (rotate left / anti-clockwise to tighten) and that the pedal bolt nut has no particular

identifying colour.

14. Attach the pedal boards (20) to the applicable pedal arm. Attach each pedal board using 2 M8x45

screws (21), inserted from the top, and secure from underneath the pedal arm using 2 M8 washers (22)

and M8 nuts (23). Tighten the nuts (rotate right) using the spanner.

15. Bring the stationary handlebar (24) into position against the centre brace so the handlebars are facing

up and towards the rear of the machine, and the brackets are aligned. Ensure that the wiring is not

caught or pinched by the brackets.

16. Attach the stationary handlebar using 2 M8 button head screws (8) and curved washers (9) and tighten

(rotate right) using the Allen key.

17. Lower the right and left handlebars (25 and 26 (not shown)) down over

the tubes at the top-front of the pedal arms. The handlebars should be

positioned so that they extend forward.

18. Attach each handle bar using 2 M8 button head screws (8) and curved

washers (9). Tighten (rotate right) the screws using the Allen key.

19. Remove the pre-assembled screws (N) from the rear of the console (28), then connect the wiring

between the console and centre brace (O) (the cables can be connected one way only). Allow any loose

cable to sit in the centre brace tube.

20. Attach the console to the top of the centre brace using the 2 screws (N) –there are two possible

positions –select the one most comfortable for you. Ensure that the pulse sensor cables are not being

pinched between the brace and console. Connect the pulse sensor cables from the stationary handle

and console (P).

Push the plastic nut caps on to the tops of the fasteners identified by , below (on both sides). When

correctly assembled, the machine should resemble the image below and is ready for use.

Moving

The unit can be tilted onto its front foot wheels for easy moving

and storage. Firmly grasp the stationary handlebar with both

hands. Next, carefully tilt the equipment forward until it rolls freely

on the wheels.

Setting a Pre-Set Session Time / Distance / Calorie / Pulse

When training to pre-set session values, the console beeps once you have achieved each target value. For

example, setting a time of 5 minutes, distance of 3km, calories used of 50, and pulse of 110 will cause the

console to beep if your pulse reaches 110, beep again if you use 50 calories, beep again if you travel 3km

and beep again after 5 minutes. You can set targets for all values, or whichever ones you want.

1. Press MODE as required until the arrow is shown next to the required function (distance, calories, pulse

or time).

2. Press SET to enter "setting" mode and apply a target value. Press again to increase the value or hold

down to more quickly increase the target value.

3. Press MODE to step to the next function you want to set a target value for, then use SET to enter the

value and so on. Repeat this process as required, then begin your workout.

To cancel the target value and start again, press RESET (any other currently set values will remain

unchanged).

Adjusting Resistance

The resistance of the crank to being rotated can be adjusted.

Increased resistance requires more effort and, therefore, uses more

energy. To adjust crank resistance, rotate the knob on the central

brace –1 = least resistance, 8 = greatest resistance.

Warm-Up and Cool-Down Routine

The warm-up routine is an important part of any workout. The purpose of warming up is to prepare your body

for exercise and to minimize injuries. Warm up for two to five minutes before aerobic exercising. It should

begin every session to prepare your body for more strenuous exercise by heating up and stretching your

muscles, increasing your circulation and pulse rate, and delivering more oxygen to your muscles.

Always perform a cool-down routine after your workout, repeat these exercises to reduce soreness in tired

muscles. The purpose of cooling down is to return the body to its resting state at the end of each exercise

session. A proper cool-down slowly lowers your heart rate and allows blood to return to the heart.

A. Head Roll - Rotate your head to the right for one second, you should feel a stretching sensation up the

left side of your neck. Then rotate your head back for one second, stretching your chin to the ceiling and

letting your mouth open. Rotate your head to the left for one second, then drop your head to your chest

for one second.
