SPINNING®PROGRAM SAFETY
• Consult your physician before beginning this or any other exercise
program. Not all exercise routines are suitable for everyone. Discontinue
any exercise that causes you discomfort and consult a medical expert.
• Ensure that the adjustment knobs (saddle height, saddle fore/aft and
handlebar height) are properly secured and do not interfere with your
pedaling of motion.
• Children under the age of 16 should not ride the Spinner®bike.
• Do not insert any object, hand or foot into any openings. Do not expose
hands, arms or feet to the drive mechanism or any other potentially
moving parts of the bike.
• The body weight for individuals riding the Spinner®Elite should not
exceed 300 pounds (136 kg).
• Spinner®bikes have a weighted flywheel and a fixed gear that do not
allow riders to coast. This means that in order to stop, you must gradually
slow your pedal strokes rather than stopping abruptly. If you need to stop
immediately, push down on the red resistance knob.
• After use, turn the knob clockwise to increase the resistance so that the
pedals will not rotate freely.
• If at any time you feel dizzy or have diculty breathing, press down on
the red resistance knob until you come to complete stop and carefully
dismount the bike.
• Listen to your body, ride at your own pace, and set a resistance load that
feels right for you.
• Keep children and pets away from the bike whenever it is in use.
• Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water throughout your ride.
• Pedal with a light amount of resistance at all times, even during warm-
up and cool-down. The Spinning®program reminds riders to maintain a
connection to the flywheel with resistance throughout the ride.
• Stay in control by executing all movements and hand positions at a slow
pace before attempting to increase your pedaling speed.

• Focus on form, posture and smooth transitions between movements.
• Always ride with proper footwear. Do not ride with bare feet or open-toed
shoes.
• Keep shoe laces tucked in and foot straps snug around your shoe. If your
foot does come out of the toe clip, push down on the resistance knob to
stop the flywheel’s motion before clipping back in.

YOUR SPINNER®BIKE
The patented Spinner®bike has been specially designed for the Spinning®
program. The Spinner®bike replicates the feel of a real road bike to create
an enjoyable, eective and fun workout. Some key features include:
• A contoured saddle to keep you comfortable and balanced. You can
adjust the saddle horizontally and vertically for a personalized fit.
• Adjustable handlebars featuring a rubberized coated grip and a
patented design that facilitates the four Spinning®hand positions.
• An adjustable resistance knob that doubles as an emergency brake to
keep you in control of your ride. Simply twist the dial clockwise to add
more, or counterclockwise to reduce resistance.
• A weighted flywheel to create a non-impact workout and facilitate a
fluid pedal stroke.
Your Spinner®bike uses a direct-drive flywheel that does not allow you to
coast. To stop, decrease your pedaling speed gradually. If you need to
stop immediately, push down on the red resistance knob.

CARING FOR YOUR
SPINNER®BIKE
MOVING YOUR BIKE
Stand in front of the bike, grasp the handlebars and tip the bike toward
you until the transportation wheels are touching the floor. Roll the bike to
the desired location, then gently lower the rear of the bike back to
the floor.
LEVELING YOUR BIKE
The leveling feet are located on each corner of the front and rear
stabilizer bars. It is important that all four of the leveling feet touch the
ground to keep the bike stable at all times. To adjust, turn the leveling feet
counterclockwise to decrease the height or clockwise to increase the
height until the bike is stable.
ADJUSTING AND LEVELING YOUR SADDLE
If you experience saddle discomfort while riding or sitting on your bike,
the angle can be adjusted by loosening the 13-mm nuts located under the
saddle. Be sure to re-tighten the nuts before riding your bike.
PREVENTING RUST
After each use, raise the handlebar post and seat post to the highest
settings to allow any moisture to evaporate. Using an absorbent cloth,
wipe all areas where moisture can settle.
PROTECTING YOUR SPINNER®BIKE’S FINISH
After each ride, protect your bike’s finish by wiping it down with a damp
cloth. We recommend using bike cleaners such as SPINTECH® Fitness
Equipment Polish. Do not use de-greasers. When cleaning your bike,
immobilize the flywheel by turning the resistance knob clockwise. Always
keep your hands, fingers, clothing and cleaning cloths clear of a moving
drivetrain.
PEDALS
Check the pedals weekly to ensure that the threads are completely
tightened. If the pedals have become loose, tighten the threads with the
supplied pedal wrench to ensure that they are securely attached.
