ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE YOU BEGIN

ventilation and lighting. Because the Orbitrek™ Elite is portable to some extent, you do not need to
assemble it exactly where it is to be used. For your convenience, however, you should avoid hauling the
machine across excessive distances, through narrow passage ways or over staircases once assembly
is complete.
2. It’s a good idea to flatten out the shipping carton, and use it as a work surface when you
assemble the Orbitrek™ Elite. Keep a few paper towels handy since some of the components are
lightly pre-greased.
Notice:
Find your tools. You will need the following tools to assemble the Orbitrek™ Elite.
Ruler with both metric and English measurements
Allen wrench (6# and 8#)
Spanner
Before assembling please check whether all needed parts are available (at the above of this
instruction sheet you will you will find an exploded drawing with all single parts (marked with
numbers) which this item consist of.

You can easily switch your Right
and Left Handlebars (No. 22
& No. 40) between the dual-action
mode and the fixed mode during
the fixed mode during your workout.
DUAL ACTION MODE
To allow the handlebars to move
along with the pedals, attach them
to the coupler bars. Select a height
setting that is comfortable to the
user and make sure both handlebars
are set at the same height. Lock
each handlebar in place with lock
knob (No.34) and plastic knob nut
(No.95). See Fig 4.
FIXED MODE
To keep the handlebars stationary
while you workout, attach them
to the tubing on the main frame
between he coupler bars. As with
the dual-action mode. Set both
handlebars at the same comfortable
height and secure them with the
lock knob (No. 34).
Step 4: Attaching the Handlebars Step 5: Connecting the sensor
Tension adjustment
The assembly of your Orbitrek™ Elite is now complete. As you try your exercises for the first time, you
should adjust the tension to the correct level before you begin your full workout. Turning the adjustment
knob allows you to change the tension level and vary the intensity of your workout as you exercise.
To increase tension turn the tension knob to the right and top decrease tension turn the tension knob
to the left.
Reversible movement
Remember, your Orbitrek™ Elite has REVERSIBLE movement!
Forward pedaling exercises your quadriceps (front thigh muscles), while backward pedaling targets
your hamstrings (back thigh muscles). Take advantage of these facts to make your workout less
fatiguing and more fun.
Note: Orbitrek™ Elite has two moveable wheels on the front stabilizer, which are easy for you to
move your training bike and the end cap on the rear stabilizer can adjust the parallelism.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE YOU HAVE TIGHTEN ALL THE BOLTS AND NUTS WELL BEFORE

Using your Orbitrek™ Elite will provide you with several benefits. It will improve your physical fitness,
tone your muscles and in conjunction with a calorie controlled diet, help you lose weight.
1. The Warm-Up Phase
This stage helps get the blood flowing around the body and the muscles working properly. It will
also reduce the risk of cramp and muscle injury. It is advisable to do a few stretching exercises as
shown below. Each stretch should be held for approximately 30 seconds. Do not force or jerk your
muscles into a stretch. If it hurts, STOP.
2. The Exercise Phase
SIDE BENDS

STRETCHES
FORWARD
BENDS
OUTER THIGH STRETCHES
CALF/ACHILLES
STRETCHES
Grasp the handlebars, then switch the handlebars to and
fro in tandem to move along with the pedals, do elliptical
cycle movement. Your Orbitrek™ Elite has reversable
movement. Forward pedalling emphasizes your
quadriceps muscle (front thighs), while backwards
pedalling emphasizes your hamstrings (back thighs).
Remember, if you want to change your movement
direction, stop movement first.
Start Position
Stand on the left side of the bike, grasp the handlebars (under the
handlebar end caps about 100mm), then stride your left leg, place your
left foot on the left pedal, then stride your right leg, place your right foot on
the right pedal, adjust your hands and stand pose to a comfortable position.
Moving Position
This is the stage where you put the effort in. After regular use, the muscles in your legs will become
more flexible. Work at your own pace and be sure to maintain a steady tempo throughout. The rate
of work should be sufficient to raise your heartbeat into the target zone shown on the graph below.
This stage should last for a minimum of 12 minutes
though most people start at about 15-20 minutes.
3. The Cool-Down Phase
This stage lets your cardio vascular system and muscles wind down. This is a repeat of the warm up
phase. First, reduce your tempo and continue at this slower pace for approximately 5 mintues
before you get off your Exercise Bike. The stretching exercises should now be repeated, again
remembering not to force or jerk your muscles into the stretch.
As you get fitter, you may need to train longer and harder. It is advisable to train at least three
times a week, and if possible to space your workouts evenly throughout the week.
MUSCLE TONING
To tone muscle while on your RACING BIKE you will need to have the resistance set quite high.
This will put more strain on your leg muscles and may mean you cannot train for as long as you
would like. If you are also trying to improve your fitness you may need to alter your training program.
You should train as normal during the warm up and cool down phases, but towards the end of the
exercise phase you should increase the resistance making your legs work harder. You will have to
reduce your speed to keep your heart rate in the target zone.
WEIGHT LOSS
The important factor here is the amount of effort you put in. The harder and longer you work, the
more calories you will burn. This is effectively the same as if you were training to improve your fitness,
the difference being the goal.
