INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. The HORNET Model XTR05 is specifically designed for use in ‘Spin’ Cycle
classes, fitness studios and health clubs. The bike uses a fixed wheel drive
flywheel and should only be used with professional supervision or instruction.
2.
Assembly: It is important that the bike is correctly assembled, and we
recommend that the installation and assembly be undertaken by suitably
qualified personnel. Detailed Assembly instructions are supplied separately
with an unassembled bike. If your bike was supplied preassembled follow the
service and maintenance instructions later in this manual. If you have
assembled the bike yourself ensure that all assembled procedures are correct
and recheck that all assembled parts are fully tightened. Recheck if necessary.
3.
Location: The bike should be placed in the desired location and then checked
that it is both level and stable. Each ground tube has adjustable leveling feet
located on the underside of each corner. Ensure that each of the leveling feet
are in a fully inserted position (Fully rotated CW when viewed from bottom)
Rotate feet CCW until the bike is both level and stable.
4.
Handlebar And Seat Stem Adjustment
It is important that the handlebar and seat height adjustments are correctly set
for your particular body dimensions – if you are undertaking any of the
various classes using spin cycles then your instructor will advise you as to the
correct adjustment procedures relative to the program you are undertaking.
Incorrectly adjusted bikes may produce can produce excessive strain, soreness
and / or irritation of muscles and joints.
The instructions that follow are to assist with bike set up
should you not have an instructor to advise you as to correct
and proper procedures.

5. SADDLE (SEAT) ADJUSTMENT:
i) Grasp the saddle (#17) with which ever hand is most comfortable
and release the locking lever (#12) with the other hand.
Do not
allow the saddle assembly to drop
. Adjust the saddle height so
that when raised to a position underneath your armpit it allows the
tips of your extended fingers to align with the axle (#61) centre line.
Tighten the locking lever whilst the saddle is held in this position.
Sit on the bike saddle and recheck the position so that when the
foot is sitting on a pedal in the lowest position (6 o’clock) the knee
joint retains a slight bend. It should be possible to pedal without
fully straightening the legs (Locking the knees) or shifting in the
seat. Rolling on the saddle apart from indicating an incorrect
seating position damages and shortens the life of a saddle. Check
and make any further adjustment if necessary.
ii) When the saddle height is set, adjust the user settable fore / aft
position so that when seated and the feet are correctly positioned
on the pedals (#7R & #7 L) and, whilst the pedals are held in a
horizontal position (3 & 9 o’clock) the knee joint is in a vertical
position over the pedal.
6.
HANDLEBAR ADJUSTMENT:
i) Hold the handlebar (#14) with which ever hand is most
comfortable and release the lock lever (#18).
Do not allow the
handle to drop
. Raise or lower the stem so that the handle bar is in
line with or slightly above the saddle position. Retighten the lock
lever.
ii) Release the lock lever (#12) and adjust the handle bar fore/aft so
that when your elbow is place against the front of the seat (#17)
and the fingers are extended the fingers just reach the handle bar
(#11).
