RESISTANCE CONTROL / EMERGENCY BRAKE

The resistance lever is located in front of the handlebars and provides 11 levels of pedaling resistance. To increase the
resistance, push the tension control lever towards the ground. To decrease the resistance, push the lever upwards.

IMPORTANT:

• To stop the flywheel while pedaling, push down hard on the lever.

• The flywheel should quickly come to a complete stop.

• Make sure your shoes are fixed into the toe clip or pedal straps.

• Apply full resistance load when the bike is not in use to prevent injuries from moving drive gear components.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

If you are not getting workout readings while using the optional console or a third party app, you may need to change
the battery (AA).

WARNING

The indoor cycle does not have a free moving flywheel; the pedals will continue to move together with the
flywheel until the flywheel stops. Reducing speed in a controlled manner is required. To stop the flywheel
immediately, push down the yellow emergency brake lever. Always pedal in a controlled manner and adjust
your desired cadence according to your own abilities. Push the yellow lever down = emergency stop.

The indoor cycle uses a fixed flywheel that builds momentum and will keep the pedals turning even after
the user stops pedaling or if the user’s feet slip off. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE YOUR FEET FROM THE
PEDALS OR DISMOUNT THE MACHINE UNTIL BOTH THE PEDALS AND THE FLYWHEEL HAVE COMPLETELY

STOPPED. Failure to follow these instructions may lead to loss of control and the potential for serious injury.

FCC RF Safety Caution statement:
To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile and base station transmission devices, a separation
distance of 20 cm or more should be maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during
operation. To ensure compliance, operation at closer than this transmitter must not recommended. The
antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
The device has been evaluated to meet general RF exposure requirement.

HOW TO ADJUST THE INDOOR CYCLE

The indoor cycle can be adjusted for maximum comfort and exercise
effectiveness. The instructions below describe one approach to adjusting
the indoor cycle to ensure optimal user comfort and ideal body
positioning; you may choose to adjust the indoor cycle differently.

SADDLE ADJUSTMENT

Proper saddle height helps ensure maximum exercise efficiency
and comfort, while reducing the risk of injury. Adjust the saddle
height to make sure it’s in proper position, one that keeps a slight
bend in your knee while your legs are in the extended position

HANDLEBAR ADJUSTMENT

Proper position for the handlebar is based primarily on comfort.
Typically, the handlebar should be positioned slightly higher
than thesaddle for beginning cyclists. Advanced cyclists could try
different heights to get the arrangement most suitable for them.

A)

SADDLE HORIZONTAL POSITION

Turn the adjustment knob counterclockwise while
sliding the saddle forward or backward as desired.
Turn the adjustment knob clockwise to lock saddle
position. Test the saddle slide for proper operation.

B)

SADDLE HEIGHT

Turn the adjustment knob counterclockwise while sliding
the saddle up and down with the other hand. Turn the
adjustment knob clockwise to lock saddle position.

C)

HANDLEBAR HEIGHT

Turn the adjustment knob counterclockwise while raising
or lowering the handlebar with the other hand. Turn the
adjustment knob clockwise to lock handlebar position.

D)

PEDAL STRAPS

Place the ball of the foot into the toe cage until the ball of
the foot is centered over the pedal, reach down and pull
the pedal strap up to tighten prior to use. To remove your
foot from the toe cage, loosen the strap and pull out.

TROUBLESHOOTING

COMMON PRODUCT QUESTIONS

ARE THE SOUNDS MY EXERCISE BIKE MAKES NORMAL?

Our exercise bikes are some of the quietest available
because they use belt drives and friction free magnetic
resistance. We use the highest grade bearings and belts to
minimize noise. However, because the resistance system
itself is so quiet, you will occasionally hear other slight
mechanical noises. Unlike older, louder technologies, there
are no fans, friction belts, or alternator noises to mask
these sounds on our exercise bikes. These mechanical
noises, which may or may not be intermittent, are normal
and are caused by the transfer of significant amounts of
energy to a rapidly spinning flywheel. All bearings, belts
and other rotating parts will generate some noise which
will transmit through the casing and frame. It is also normal
for these sounds to change slightly during a workout and
over time because of thermal expansion of the parts.

WHY IS THE EXERCISE BIKE I HAD DELIVERED
LOUDER THAN THE ONE AT THE STORE?

All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom
because there is generally more background noise than
in your home. Also, there will be less reverberation
on a carpeted concrete floor than on a wood overlay
floor. Sometimes a heavy rubber mat will help reduce
reverberation through the floor. If a fitness product is

placed close to a wall, there will be more reflected noise.

PROBLEM: The exercise bike makes a squeaking or chirping noise

Verify the following:

1)

The exercise bike is on a level surface

2)

Loosen all bolts attached during the assembly process, grease the threads, and tighten again

PROBLEM

: Seat or handlebar post move after locked into position

• Make sure the adjustment knob is tightened

PROBLEM

: Clicking noise with each pedal revolution

1)

Check shoelaces to make sure the aglet is not tapping the bike as the pedals turn

2)

Assure pedal straps are tight and that no excess strap on inner part
of pedal is catching on the crank arm as it turns

3)

Assure that pedals are tight on crank arms

PROBLEM: Clicking noise when flywheel rotates

1)

Ensure nothing is touching flywheel

2)

Check for noisy flywheel bearings

3)

If flywheel bearings are noisy or rough have authorized service technician replace flywheel hub assembly

PROBLEM: Knocking noise or play felt in pedals/cranks

1)

Make sure pedals are tight on crank arms

2)

Make sure crank bolts are tight. If loose, apply blue loctite 242 to threads and tighten crank

3)

If problem persists check the bottom bracket for looseness

4)

If bottom bracket is loose contact authorized service technician for replacement of bottom bracket bearings

PROBLEM: Rocking or movement while in use

1)

Using a hex wrench, check the attachment bolts on the front and
rear stabilizers and make sure they are tight

2)

Assure the bike is level by checking the leveling feet on the bottom of the front and rear stabilizers

MAINTENANCE

WHAT KIND OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED?

Minimal maintenance and cleaning is required. Adhering to this schedule will extend the life of your machine.

We use sealed bearings throughout our bikes so lubrication is not needed. The most important maintenance step is to simply wipe your perspiration off the bike after each use.

HOW DO I CLEAN MY BIKE?

Clean with mild soap and water cleaners only. Never use solvents on plastic parts. Cleanliness of your bike and its operating environment will keep maintenance
problems and service calls to a minimum. For this reason, we recommend that the following preventive maintenance schedule be followed.

NEED ASSISTANCE?

If this troubleshooting section does not remedy the problem, discontinue use.

The following information may be asked of you when you
call. Please have these items readily available:

•

Model Name

•

Serial Number

• Proof of Purchase (receipt or credit card statement)

Some common troubleshooting questions that may be asked are:

•

How long has this problem been occurring?

•

Does this problem occur with every use? With every user?

• If you are hearing a noise, does it come from the front or the back? What
kind of noise is it (thumping, grinding, squeaking, chirping etc.)?

•

Has the machine been maintained per the MAINTENANCE schedule?

Answering these and other questions will give the technicians
the ability to send proper replacement parts and the service
necessary to get you and your cycle running again!
