Assembly Instructions:
A) Secure the front brace with wheels (#5) and the rear
brace (#6) to the frame (#1) by using four hex bolts,
eight washers, and four lock nuts. Note –the washers
must be placed above and below the brace.
B) Attach the pedals using the multi hex wrench. Note
that the closed end to of the cage must point to the front
of the bike in order to go on the correct side of the
crank. Also note that the left pedal has lefthanded
threads and must be tightened counter clockwise.
C)Insert the seat post (#3) into the frame (#1) and secure
with a locking pop pin (#12)
D)Insert the handle bar (#2) into the head tube of the
frame (#1) and secure with a locking pop pin (#12)
E) Mount both bottle cages with the stainless steel allen
screws. Note that the screws may be secure in the
frame, and will need to be removed prior to placing the
water bottle holder onto the bike.
5) Instructions for use:
Resistance –Pedaling resistance is controlled by the push Brake System
Knob located underneath the handlebars. To increase resistance, turn the
Brake System Knob clockwise (+). To decrease resistance, turn the
resistance counter-clockwise (-). Resistance adjustments can be done while
riding.
Seat Adjustment –Place one pedal in the upward position, then place your
foot in the toe clip and center the ball of your foot over the center of the
pedal. Your leg should be slightly bent at the knee. If your leg is too
straight or your foot cannot touch the pedal, you will need to move the seat
down. If your leg is too bent, you will need to move the seat up.
To adjust the seat up or down, dismount the bike and loosen the locking pop-
pin by turning the handle counter-clockwise. Pull out the spring-loaded
knob, from the preset location. Raise or lower the seat to the desired height,
and release the pop-pin. When the correct location is detected, tighten the
pop pin by tightening clockwise.

10
Seat Adjustment (Cont.)
To adjust the forward or backward (i.e. for and aft) seat position, dismount
the bike and loosen the locking pop pin by turning counter clockwise. Pull
out the spring-loaded release knob, releasing the locking pin from the pre-set
position hole. Slide the seat forward or backward to the desired position.
When the seat is in the desired position, release the spring-loaded
mechanism to re-position the locking pin into the desired location. Turn the
handle clockwise to tighten the pop pin.
Handlebar Adjustment –To raise or lower the handlebars, loosen the locking
pop pin. Pull out the spring-loaded release knob. This releases the locking
pin from the pre-set position. Raise or lower the handlebars to the desired
position. When the handlebars are in the desired position, release the spring-
loaded knob re-positioning the locking pin in the desired, pre-set hole. Turn
the handle clockwise to tighten the knob.
Pedal Strap Adjustment –Place the ball of each foot in the toe clip until the
front of the shoe fits snugly in the toe clip cage. Rotate one foot to within
arm’s reach, then tighten the webbed cloth buckle until the cage of the toe
clip is snug around the foot. Repeat for the other foot. Point your toes and
knees directly forward to ensure maximum pedal efficiency.
6) Preventative Maintenance:
Moving the Johnny G Spinner Pro and Elite: Utilize the front wheels on
the front brace to roll the bike from one location to another.
Leveling the bikes: All four pads that the bikes rest on (#15 in drawings
above), can be adjusted to compensate for a non-level floor. Place the
bike on its side and rotate the foot either clockwise or counter clockwise
to level the bike depending upon situation.
Daily Maintenance: Dry the Johnny G Spinner Pro and Elite after each
use to remove sweat and moisture. It is best to use a liquid non-abrasive
cleaner and water solution.
Rinse all surfaces to remove detergent residue and then dry. Do not wipe
the chain with soap or towel. Avoid wetting the brake pad when
cleaning.

Preventative Maintenance (Cont.)
Daily Maintenance (Cont.)
IMPORTANT –To avoid damaging the finish on your Johnny G Spinner
Pro and Elite, never use a petroleum-based solvent for cleaning.
Periodic Inspection: The crank arms should be re-torqued after the first
10 hours of use and every 100 hours of operation, thereafter. The crank
arm to bottom bracket torque is 30 ft-lbs (+/-3 ft-lbs). Using a 15 mm
wrench, the pedal should be snug.
Inspect all parts, nuts and screws for any adjustments, replacement or
maintenance needs.
It will be necessary to lubricate the chain once a month or after every 100
hours of use, which ever comes first. The chain should be lubricated
with a light chain oil, using a bristle brush.
