1. Read this entire manual before assembling and using the VirZOOM. VirZOOM can only be used safely if it is assem-
bled, maintained and used properly. It is your responsibility to ensure that all users of the VirZOOM are aware of all
warnings and precautions.
2. Before using VirZOOM you should consult your doctor to determine if it is safe for you to engage in vigorous aerobic
exercise.
3. Be aware of what your body is telling you while using VirZOOM. Stop immediately if you experience pain, tightness
in your chest, irregular heartbeat, extreme shortness of breath, dizziness or nausea. If you do experience any of
these symptoms, consult your doctor before using VirZOOM again.
4. Keep small children and pets away from VirZOOM. It is designed for use by adults and young adults only.
5. Use the VirZOOM on a solid, flat level surface with a protective cover for your floor or carpet. Using VirZOOM on
thickly padded or plush carpet could result in hazardous instability. For safety, leave a few feet of open space all
around it. Do not use or store VirZOOM in an excessively hot or cold or humid environment.
6. Before using the VirZOOM, check to make sure the nuts, bolts and pedals are securely tightened. After extended
use some parts may need to be replaced. Periodically check your VirZOOM for wear and tear. If you hear any unusu-
al noise coming from the VirZOOM, stop using it until the problem has been rectified.
7. Always use the VirZOOM as instructed. Do not stand up on the pedals or sit on the handlebars. Do not sit with your
weight o the back of the seat.
8. Make sure the seat is adjusted to your height. You should be able to put the balls of your feet on the floor while
seated on VirZOOM.
9. Wear suitable clothing while using VirZOOM. Avoid loose clothing which could get caught in the pedal cranks. Avoid
tight clothing which restricts movement.

ZOOM by persons outside of this range is likely to result in damage to the VirZOOM and injury to the person.
11. Always get seated on VirZOOM and place your feet on the pedals before covering your eyes with your VR
head-mounted display. Make sure that any cords or cables are secured where they won’t interfere with your pedal-
ing and won’t get tangled in the pedals.
12. When VirZOOM is not in use it should be switched o, folded and stored in a dry place. It can be cleaned with a
damp cloth. Be careful when moving VirZOOM around not to bang the handlebar grips or brain box into anything.

frame(1) and line up the holes. Se-
cure the seat in position with the
seat height pin(26). Tighten the pin

STEP 5
Plug the button connectors(17) into the
brain box(6) as shown. Open the bat-
tery compartment on the brain box(6)
by pressing in on the sides until the
tabs slide easily out. Install 2 AA batter-
ies as shown (batteries not included).
Replace the battery cover.
STEP 6
The pedals(15 & 16) are marked “L”
and “R” - Left and Right. Connect
them to their corresponding crank
arms. Note that the right pedal will
be threaded on clockwise, but the
left pedal will be threaded on count-
er-clockwise. This is so that the
pedals will not loosen themselves
as you pedal.
If desired attach the pedal straps
to the pedals using the tabs on the
sides on the pedals.
Hardware Assembly is complete! If
you haven’t yet read the important
safety information on page 1, this
would be a good time to do so.

Getting Started with TM
Set up your VirZOOM near your PC or PlayStation 4, away from direct sunlight, with a few feet of elbow room on either
side of it.
Ensure that your Virtual Reality System can easily reach your VirZOOM. Spend a few minutes taping down, or otherwise
securing your VR Head Mounted Display (HMD) cables so that they will not be tripped over, or get tangled in the VirZOOM
pedals.
Ensure that your position-tracking devices are able to “see” your VR HMD when seated on the VirZOOM.
Plug the VirZOOM USB dongle into your PC or PlayStation 4. The USB dongle provided does not contain the VirZOOM
software; it provides a secure bluetooth pairing with your VirZOOM.

Launch the VirZOOM application on your system. Flip the power switch(7) to On (shows “I”). The green LED(8) will flash to
confirm.
Get on your VirZOOM, and put your feet on the pedals. Holding either trigger should “wake up” the VirZOOM, and connect
it to your system. This may take several seconds. Success is indicated by the green LED(8) being lit steadily.
The Red LED(9) indicates low batteries.
In order for the heartrate sensors(18) to work properly, each hand needs to be contacting both sensors on the grips.
Pedal and adjust the resistance knob(10) to a level that seems good to you. Put your VR HMD on and follow the in-game
prompts.
