Assembly

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

2. Place the front foot (2) (with wheels facing outward) under the front of the frame (1), and place the rear

foot (3) under the rear of the frame. Secure each foot to the frame using 2 M10 acorn nuts (4) and

washers (5). Firmly tighten (rotate right) the nuts using the supplied spanner.

3. Place the saddle (6) onto the pin on top of the saddle base (A). Tighten

(rotate right) the saddle clamp nuts (B) with the supplied spanner.

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

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

crank arms – this may indicate misalignment of the pedals or mis-matched threads. If the pedal does not

"feel right" when being screwed in, STOP immediately and check that it is the correct pedal 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.

4. Starting with the right-hand crank arm (C), identify the right-hand pedal assembly (7), which is identified

by having a right-hand thread (this is the usual type – rotate right / clockwise to tighten) and the nut (8)

having a light coloured ring (D). The crank arm and pedal will also have a "R" sticker or stamped "R".

5. Very carefully begin screwing the pedal bolt into the crank arm (rotate right / clockwise). 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.

6. Insert the nut (8) onto the end of the pedal bolt. Hold the pedal bolt in position using the spanner so it

does not rotate, then firmly tighten (rotate clockwise) the nut using the spanner.

7. Repeat steps 5 to 6 for the left-hand crank 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. The crank arm and pedal will also have a "L" sticker or stamped "L".

8. Secure the handlebar (9) to the handlebar post (10) using 4 M8x20 screws (11) and washers (12), and

firmly tighten (rotate right) using the Allen key. Ensure the pulse sensor wires are not trapped or pinched

between the handlebar and post during assembly.

9. Slide the bottom section of the handlebar post shroud (13) over the post. Thread the pulse sensor wire

(E) through the hole in the shroud. Then, place the top section of the shroud (14) into position over the

handlebar and top of the handlebar post. Secure the sections of shroud together using 4 self-tapping

screws (15). Tighten (rotate right) the screws using the supplied screwdriver. Be careful not to over-

tighten as they are screwing into plastic.

10. Slide the handlebar post down into the frame handlebar tube – ensure the handlebar is facing forward.

Then, insert the handlebar locking handle (16) into the nut at the front of the frame handlebar tube and

rotate right. Tighten firmly by hand.

11. Slide the drink / accessory holder (17) onto the handlebar bracket (F). Use the bracket clamp (G) to

secure the holder. Tighten (rotate right) the clamp by hand until firm.

12. Slide the console (18) onto the mounting tab (H) on the top of the handlebar post shroud. Plug in the

"pulse" sensor connector (I) (from the handlebar) and the bike "sensor" connector (J) into the PULSE

and SENSOR connectors on the rear of the console, respectively. Use the cable tubing (19) to help tidy

the wiring, if desired.

The machine should resemble the image below and is ready for use.

Always set-up the equipment on a

flat and level surface. If the

equipment "rocks", rotate the adjusters under

the feet to lift or lower as needed so the

equipment is steady.

Moving

The unit can be tilted onto its wheels for easy moving.

Firmly grasp the handlebar with both hands. Next, carefully

tilt the equipment forward until it rolls freely on the transport

wheels.

Operation

Console and Functions

The equipment features a 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 equipment is not being used and the console

is not touched (buttons pressed), it will automatically switch off after

approximately 4 minutes. To activate the console, press any button

or start riding.

Control Description

Display Shows current information, such as speed, time, pulse etc.

Function

Button Press to switch between display modes. Press and hold for several seconds to reset all

values (except odometer) to "0" (zero):

Scan – Automatically switch between display modes approximately every 5 seconds.

When in this mode, "SCAN" shows along the bottom of the display.

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

mode, "TIME" shows along the bottom of the display.

Speed – Current speed in km/h (limits 0 to 99.9). When in this mode, "SPD" shows along

the bottom of the display.

Distance – Current distance travelled during the session (limits 0 to 999.9). The distance

value increments every 100 meters travelled. When in this mode, "DST" shows along the

bottom of the display.

Calories – The number of calories used during the current session (limits 0 to 9999). To

approximately convert calories to kilojoules, multiply the number of calories by 4. When in

this mode, "CAL" shows along the bottom of the display.

Odometer – The total distance travelled for the current and all previous sessions

combined. This value cannot be reset, however, will return to "0" if the batteries are

replaced. When in this mode, "ODO" shows along the bottom of the display.

Pulse – Your current pulse (heart rate) (limits 40 to 240). When displaying pulse, you

must have a hand on the metal sensors on each handle. The console must have the pulse

sensor connected and have 2 batteries installed. When in this mode, "PULSE" shows

along the bottom of the display.

Adjusting Effort

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

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

To adjust effort, rotate the adjuster (1) on the main frame tube as required to either

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

The braking adjuster also acts as an emergency stop – press down firmly and hold to quickly stop

the flywheel.

Adjusting the Handlebar

The equipment features a height adjustable handlebar. Loosen (rotate left) the handlebar

locking handle (2) then slide the handlebar up/down as required, then firmly tighten the

locking handle by hand.

Adjusting Suspension

For a more comfortable “ride”, the equipment features adjustable rear suspension.

Rotate the nut (3) at the top of the suspension unit as required. Rotate right to

harden the suspension (for heavier riders), rotate left to soften.

Adjusting the Saddle

For a more comfortable “ride” and to suit riders of different sizes, the

equipment features multiple saddle adjustments, including height, angle and

distance from the handlebar.

•To adjust height, loosen (rotate left) the seat post knob (4) a little, then

pull it out so that the pin in the knob disengages from the locating hole

(5) in the seat post. Keep the knob pulled out then slide the seat post to

the required position. Release the knob and ensure the pin engages with

a hole in the seat post (it may be necessary to slide the post somewhat

until the pin "pops" into a hole). Firmly tighten the knob by hand.

•To adjust angle, loosen (rotate left) the saddle clamp nuts (6) until the

front of the saddle can be moved up/down. Set the angle as required,

then tighten the nuts securely.

•To adjust distance to the handlebar, loosen (rotate left) the saddle nut

(7), then slide the saddle base (8) to the required position. For further

adjustment, remove the saddle base from the seat post and rotate it

180° then re-install and adjust the saddle position as required.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

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
