Assembly

1. Take all parts out of the carton and place them on

a firm, flat surface. Remove all packing materials.

2. See Fig. 1. Attach the front foot (3) and rear foot

(2) to the frame (1) using 4 coach screws (4),

curved washers (5) and cap nuts (6). Ensure the

square holes in the feet are facing the ground.

Ensure the washers follow the shape of the tube

when installed. Tighten (rotate right) the nuts

using the supplied spanner.

3. See Fig. 2. Remove the nuts and washers (10 and

11) from under the saddle (12). Place the saddle

on top of the saddle post (9) and secure with the

nuts and washers (10 and 11). Tighten (rotate

right) the nuts with the supplied spanner.

4. Insert the saddle post (9) into the frame (1), with the height

adjustment holes facing rearward. Secure it at the desired

height with the saddle post locking screw (8) –the pin on

the end of the screw must enter a hole in the post to be

able to secure properly. Firmly tighten (rotate right) the

screw by hand.

5. See Fig. 3. Bring the handlebar post (15) near to its location

on the bike frame (1). Hook the tension cable in the

handlebar post to the bracket on the end of the tension

cable in the frame (A). Note that you may need to loosen

the cable by rotating the effort adjuster left in order to

connect the cables. Then, connect the wiring in the

handlebar post to the wiring in the frame (B).

6. Insert the handlebar post into the frame, being careful

not to pinch the electrical cables. Secure the handlebar

post using 4 screws (14) and curved washers (5).

Ensure the washers follow the shape of the tube when

installed. Tighten (rotate right) the screws using the

supplied Allen key.

7. See Fig. 4. Plug the console (17) electrical cable to the

handlebar post electrical cable. If the cable in the handlebar

post is not visible, pull the console mounting cap (16) off the

post and gently pull the cable out. Ensure that the cable

passes through the hole on top of the console mounting cap

and push the cap back onto the top of the post. Excess cable

can be stored in the handlebar post. Slide the console onto the

mounting cap. Install the supplied battery into the console.

8. Attach the handlebar (19) to the top of the handlebar post

using 2 screws (18), spring washers (20) and washers (21). Tighten (rotate right) the screws using the

supplied Allen key. Gradually tighten both screws in stages and ensure that the handlebar clamp

remains parallel to its mounting.

IMPORTANT –Failure to correctly follow the following step may void your warranty. The left

pedal, marked “L” on the end of the pedal bolt, must be fitted to the left-side crank arm and rotated left

(anti-clockwise) to install. The right pedal, marked “R” on the end of the pedal bolt, must be fitted to the

right-side crank arm and rotated right (clockwise) to install.

9. Attach the left-side pedal (7) and right-side pedal (13) to the respective crank arms. Tighten the pedal

bolts using the supplied spanner

Once assembled, the machine ready for use.

Operating the Exercise Bike

Console and Functions

The exercise bike features a computerized display that provides you with workout information, such as

duration, speed, distance travelled etc. Whenever the console is activated, a new “session” starts, with all

values at “zero”. If the bike is not being used and the console is not touched (button pressed), it will

automatically switch off after approximately 4 minutes. To activate the console, press the function button or

start riding.

Console Button

Description

Display

Shows current information, such as speed, time etc.

Function

Press to switch between display modes. Press once to enter “scan” mode, starting

at the next function. Press twice to stop “scan” mode and lock the display to the

selected function. For each mode, an indicator displays the type of information

being displayed; for example, “DST” shows near the bottom of the display:

Scan –Automatically switch between display modes approximately every 5

seconds. When in this mode, “SCAN” displays along the bottom of the display.

Time –Current elapsed time of the session in minutes (limits 0 to 99.59).

Speed –Current speed in km/h (limits 0 to 99.9).

Distance –Current distance travelled during the session (limits 0 to 99.99). The

distance value increments every 10 meters travelled.

Calories –The number of calories used during the current session (limits 0 to

999.9). To approximately convert calories to kilojoules, multiply the number of

calories by 4.

At any time you can reset all values to “zero” for the current sessions by pressing

and holding for at least 3 seconds.

Adjusting Effort

The exercise bike allows you to adjust the effort required to turn the wheel by “braking” the

wheel. The greater the effort, the larger the number of energy (calories) required to “ride”.

To adjust the effort, turn the adjuster on the main frame tube as required to either increase

(rotate right) or decrease (rotate left) effort.

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.

B. Shoulder Lift - Lift your right shoulder toward your ear for one second. Then lift your left shoulder up for

one second as you lower your right shoulder.

C. Side Stretch - Open your arms to the side and lift them until they are over your head. Reach your right

arm as far toward the ceiling as you can for one second. Repeat this action with your left arm.

D. Quadricep Stretch - With one hand against a wall for balance, reach behind you and pull your right foot

up. Bring your heel as close to your buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 seconds and repeat with left foot.

E. Inner Thigh Stretch - Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees pointing outward. Pull your

feet as close to your groin as possible, then gently push your knees toward the floor. Hold for 15 seconds.

F. Toe Touch - Slowly bend forward from your waist, letting your back and shoulders relax as you stretch

toward your toes. Reach as far as you can and hold for 15 seconds.

G. Hamstring Stretch - Extend your right leg. Rest the sole of your left foot against your right inner thigh.

Stretch toward your toe as far as possible. Hold for 15 seconds. Relax and then repeat with left leg.

H. Calf/Achilles Stretch - Lean against a wall with your right leg in front of the left and your arms forward.

Keep your left leg straight and the right foot on the floor; then bend the right leg and lean forward by
