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, such as the feet, 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 the feet using the
pre-assembled captive bolts (4), curved washers (5) and acorn nuts (6). Ensure that the bolts are
inserted from the outer 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 the 4 pre-assembled 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 (13), wave washer (14), retaining washer (15), lock washer
(16) and screw (17). Remove the retaining washer, lock 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, lock washer and screw, then tighten the screw (rotate right) using the spanner
until the lock washer only is compressed –do not over-tighten as this may cause
binding.
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 (18), which is
identified by having a right-hand thread (this is the
usual type –rotate right / clockwise to tighten) and
the nut (19) having a light coloured ring (J). The
pedal bolt assembly includes a wave washer (20)
and lock washer (21). Remove the nut and lock
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 lock washer (21) and nut (19) 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
–the lock washer should be fully compressed.
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 (22) (marked "L" and "R") to the applicable pedal arm. The pedal arms have 3
sets of mounting holes, so the board can be installed in the most comfortable position. Attach each
pedal board using 2 M8x45 screws (23), inserted from the top, and secure from underneath the pedal
arm using 2 M8 washers (24) and M8 nuts (25). Tighten the nuts (rotate right) using the spanner.
15. Bring the stationary handlebar (26) 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 the 2 pre-assembled screws (27) and lock washers (28) and
tighten (rotate right) using the Allen key, then clip the cover (29) into position.

17. Lower the right and left handlebars (30 (not shown) and 31) down over
the tubes at the top-front of the pedal arms. The handlebars should be
positioned so that they extend forward and the square mounting holes
are facing toward the rear of the machine.
18. Attach each handle bar using 2 M6 extension nuts (32), inserted from
the front of the machine, and 2 M6x16 screws (33). Tighten (rotate right)
the screws using the Allen key.
19. Remove the pre-assembled screws (35) from the rear of the console (34), then connect the wiring
between the console and centre brace (N).
20. Attach the console to the top of the centre brace using the 4 screws (O) –there are two possible
positions –select the one most comfortable for you, then plug the pulse sensor cable from the stationary
handle into the rear of the console (P).
Push the applicable 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 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

Using the Fitness Assessment Functions
The equipment features several general fitness index calculators, which can provide a reasonable
assessment on your overall fitness and bodily composition using data for age, gender, height and weight. In
order for these functions to be relatively accurate, you must enter your physical data correctly.
The fitness assessment functions are to be used as a guide only and should not be considered
medical data.
1. Press UP to enter "setting" mode, then press MEASURE –"- - - -" flashes on the display.
2. Place the palms of your hands on the pulse sensors and hold them there. The display changes to
"scrolling" across the screen –continue holding the sensors until the results display shows; this takes
approximately 1 minute.
3. Press ENTER to scroll the results on the large digit display. The results are also displayed along the
lower part of the display, along with the identification for each assessment type.
The available assessment functions are:
BMR –"basal metabolic rate", which represents the amount of energy (calories) that you require each
day for sustaining basic living functions (breathing, heartbeat and body heat). The measurement is
calculated as a conscious resting state (not sleeping) at room temperature.
BMI –"body mass index", which is a value that represents your proportional fat content based on adult
height and weight. BMI values in the following ranges may indicate: ≤19 –underweight; 20 to 25 –
normal; 26 to 29 –overweight; ≥30 –obese.
Fat % –"fat percentage", which is a percentage value that represents how much of your total mass is fat.
Using the Pulse Recovery Function
The equipment features a pulse recovery function that monitors your heart rate over a 1 minute period,
following a workout. The speed at which your heart rate lowers is another useful fitness assessment.
1. After finishing your workout, press PULSE RECOVERY –"- - - -" flashes on the display.
2. Place the palms of your hands on the pulse sensors and hold them there. The display changes to
"scrolling" across the screen –continue holding the sensors until the results display shows; this takes
approximately 1 minute.
Pulse recovery values in the following ranges may indicate: ≤1.0 –outstanding, >1.0 to <2.0 –very good,
≥2.0 to ≤2.9–good; ≥3.0 to ≤3.9–fair, ≥4.0 to ≤5.9 –below average, ≥5.9–poor.
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.
