IMPORTANT NOTES

!

• Read all instructions carefully before use.

• Some assembly required. Use correct tools.

• Keep the manual handy at all times.

• Do NOT use trainer for any purpose other than instructed.

• The trainer is manufactured to precise standards. Disassembling or rebuilding by

yourself will void the warranty.

WARNINGS

Use two-wheeled bicycles only. Tandems may be used if balanced correctly.

●

The VFS resistance unit becomes very HOT while using. Do NOT touch the VFS unit during

●

use or for 30 minutes after use.

Minoura strongly suggests you use the supplied Quick Release skewer (for those bicycles

●

that use Q/R systems) and coupling protector cap to insure a secure t of your bicycle to

the trainer frame. If your bicycle has a xed axle nut system you cannot use the supplied

q/r and must make sure that the axle nuts ts securely into the couplings. If they do not t

evenly and securely, our trainer is not compatible with your bicycle and Minoura assumes no

responsibility for such use.

Remove all oils and moisture from the drive roller and the tire before use.

●

Keep both hands on handlebar at all times and maintain a normal riding position.

●

Check the couplings supporting the rear hub for damage and cracks. Accidents may occur

●

from cracked or damaged couplings.

You should not tighten the wheel axle by tightening the left side knob. This is for pre-

●

adjusting the wheel position to the exactly center of the drive roller only. Holding the wheel

securely must be done by the right side hub handle.

When using the trainer, place it on a at and level surface for safe training.

●

Do not over-tighten the hub handles. Overtightening may cause damage to the trainer or

●

your bicycle frame. The clamp handles should be a snug and secure t. Do NOT force!

Before use, make sure all bolts and nuts are securely fastened.

●

Keep away from small children, and keep hands and feet away from spinning rollers and

●

wheels at all times.

Tighten the pivot bolts on the main frame rmly before installing your bike.
