Assembly
1. Take all parts out of the carton and place them on
a firm, flat surface. Remove all packing materials.
2. See Fig. 1. Attach the front foot (3) and rear foot
(2) to the frame (1) using 4 coach screws (4),
curved washers (5) and cap nuts (6). Ensure the
square holes in the feet are facing the ground.
Ensure the washers follow the shape of the tube
when installed. Tighten (rotate right) the nuts
using the supplied spanner.
3. See Fig. 2. Remove the nuts and washers (10 and
11) from under the saddle (12). Place the saddle
on top of the saddle post (9) and secure with the
nuts and washers (10 and 11). Tighten (rotate
right) the nuts with the supplied spanner.
4. Insert the saddle post (9) into the frame (1), with the height
adjustment holes facing rearward. Secure it at the desired
height with the saddle post locking screw (8) – the pin on
the end of the screw must enter a hole in the post to be
able to secure properly. Firmly tighten (rotate right) the
screw by hand.
5. See Fig. 3. Bring the handlebar post (15) near to its location
on the bike frame (1). Hook the tension cable in the
handlebar post to the bracket on the end of the tension
cable in the frame (A). Note that you may need to loosen
the cable by rotating the effort adjuster left in order to
connect the cables. Then, connect the wiring in the
handlebar post to the wiring in the frame (B).
6. Insert the handlebar post into the frame, being careful
not to pinch the electrical cables. Secure the handlebar
post using 4 screws (14) and curved washers (5).
Ensure the washers follow the shape of the tube when
installed. Tighten (rotate right) the screws using the
supplied Allen key.
7. See Fig. 4. Plug the console (17) electrical cable to the
handlebar post electrical cable. If the cable in the handlebar
post is not visible, pull the console mounting cap (16) off the
post and gently pull the cable out. Ensure that the cable
passes through the hole on top of the console mounting cap
and push the cap back onto the top of the post. Excess cable
can be stored in the handlebar post. Slide the console onto the
mounting cap. Install the supplied battery into the console.
8. Attach the handlebar (19) to the top of the handlebar post
using 2 screws (18), spring washers (20) and washers (21). Tighten (rotate right) the screws using the
supplied Allen key. Gradually tighten both screws in stages and ensure that the handlebar clamp
remains parallel to its mounting.
IMPORTANT – Failure to correctly follow the following step may void your warranty. The left
pedal, marked “L” on the end of the pedal bolt, must be fitted to the left-side crank arm and rotated left
(anti-clockwise) to install. The right pedal, marked “R” on the end of the pedal bolt, must be fitted to the
right-side crank arm and rotated right (clockwise) to install.
9. Attach the left-side pedal (7) and right-side pedal (13) to the respective crank arms. Tighten the pedal
bolts using the supplied spanner
Once assembled, the machine ready for use.

Console Button
Description
Display
Shows current information, such as speed, time etc.
Function
Press to switch between display modes. Press once to enter “scan” mode, starting
at the next function. Press twice to stop “scan” mode and lock the display to the
selected function. For each mode, an indicator displays the type of information
being displayed; for example, “DST” shows near the bottom of the display:
Scan – Automatically switch between display modes approximately every 5
seconds. When in this mode, “SCAN” displays along the bottom of the display.
Time – Current elapsed time of the session in minutes (limits 0 to 99.59).
Speed – Current speed in km/h (limits 0 to 99.9).
Distance – Current distance travelled during the session (limits 0 to 99.99). The
distance value increments every 10 meters travelled.
Calories – The number of calories used during the current session (limits 0 to
999.9). To approximately convert calories to kilojoules, multiply the number of
calories by 4.
At any time you can reset all values to “zero” for the current sessions by pressing
and holding for at least 3 seconds.
Operating the Exercise Bike
Console and Functions
The exercise bike features a computerized display that provides you with workout information, such as
duration, speed, distance travelled etc. Whenever the console is activated, a new “session” starts, with all
values at “zero”. If the bike is not being used and the console is not touched (button pressed), it will
automatically switch off after approximately 4 minutes. To activate the console, press the function button or
start riding.
Adjusting Effort
The exercise bike allows you to adjust the effort required to turn the wheel by “braking” the
wheel. The greater the effort, the larger the number of energy (calories) required to “ride”.
To adjust the effort, turn the adjuster on the main frame tube as required to either increase
(rotate right) or decrease (rotate left) effort.

Warm-Up and Cool-Down Routine
The warm-up routine is an important part of any workout. The purpose of warming up is to prepare your body
for exercise and to minimize injuries. Warm up for two to five minutes before aerobic exercising. It should
begin every session to prepare your body for more strenuous exercise by heating up and stretching your
muscles, increasing your circulation and pulse rate, and delivering more oxygen to your muscles.
Always perform a cool-down routine after your workout, repeat these exercises to reduce soreness in tired
muscles. The purpose of cooling down is to return the body to its resting state at the end of each exercise
session. A proper cool-down slowly lowers your heart rate and allows blood to return to the heart.
A. Head Roll - Rotate your head to the right for one second, you should feel a stretching sensation up the
left side of your neck. Then rotate your head back for one second, stretching your chin to the ceiling and
letting your mouth open. Rotate your head to the left for one second, then drop your head to your chest
for one second.
B. Shoulder Lift - Lift your right shoulder toward your ear for one second. Then lift your left shoulder up for
one second as you lower your right shoulder.
C. Side Stretch - Open your arms to the side and lift them until they are over your head. Reach your right
arm as far toward the ceiling as you can for one second. Repeat this action with your left arm.
D. Quadricep Stretch - With one hand against a wall for balance, reach behind you and pull your right foot
up. Bring your heel as close to your buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 seconds and repeat with left foot.
E. Inner Thigh Stretch - Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees pointing outward. Pull your
feet as close to your groin as possible, then gently push your knees toward the floor. Hold for 15 seconds.
F. Toe Touch - Slowly bend forward from your waist, letting your back and shoulders relax as you stretch
toward your toes. Reach as far as you can and hold for 15 seconds.
