2.2 BEFORE GETTING STARTED
LOCATING THE UNIT
Place the equipment on a level and stable surface away from direct sunlight. The intense UV light can cause discoloration on the plastics. Locate
your equipment in an area with cool temperatures and low humidity. Please leave a clear zone on all sides of the equipment that is at least 60 cm
(23.6”). This zone must be clear of any obstruction and provide the user a clear exit path from the machine. Do not place the equipment in any area
that will block any vent or air openings. The equipment should not be located in a garage, covered patio, near water or outdoors.

LEVELING THE EQUIPMENT
It is extremely important that the levelers are correctly adjusted for proper operation. Turn leveling foot clockwise to
lower and counter-clockwise to raise unit. Adjust each side as needed until the equipment is level. An unbalanced
unit may cause belt misalignment or other issues. Use of a level is recommended.
PROPER USAGE
1. Sit on the cycle facing the handlebars. Both feet should be on the floor one on each side of the frame.
2. To determine proper seat position, sit on the seat and position both feet on the pedals. Your knee should bend slightly at the furthest pedal
position. You should be able to pedal without locking your knees or shifting your weight from side to side.
3. Adjust pedal straps to desired tightness.
4. To get off of the cycle, follow the proper usage steps in reverse.

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 the saddle for
beginning cyclists. Advanced cyclists could try different heights to get the arrangement most suitable for them.
A) SADDLE HORIZONTAL POSITION
Pull the adjustment lever down to slide the saddle forward or backward as desired. Push the
lever up to lock saddle position. Test the saddle slide for proper operation.
B) SADDLE HEIGHT
Lift the adjustment lever up while sliding the saddle up and down with the other hand. Push the lever down to lock saddle position.
C) HANDLEBAR HORIZONTAL POSITION
Pull the adjustment lever towards the rear of the cycle to slide the handlebars forward or
backward as desired. Push the lever forward to lock handlebar position.
D) HANDLEBAR HEIGHT
Pull the adjustment lever up while raising or lowering the handlebar with the other hand. Push the lever down to lock handlebar position.
E) 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.

CHAPTER 2: IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
2.3 RESISTANCE CONTROL AND EMERGENCY BRAKE
The preferred level of difficulty in pedaling (resistance) can be regulated in fine increments by use of the tension control lever. To increase the
resistance, push the tension control lever towards the ground. To decrease the resistance, pull up 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.
• Apply full resistance load when the bike is not in use to prevent injuries due to moving drive gear components.
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 red emergency brake lever. Always pedal in
a controlled manner and adjust your desired cadence according to your own abilities. Push the red 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.
