Assembly
1. Take all parts out of the carton and place them on a firm, flat surface. Remove all packing materials.
Check that all parts have been supplied. Note that some parts, such as the feet, have the necessary fasteners pre-assembled – these will need to be removed during the assembly process.
2. Attach the rear foot (has angled caps) (2) to the extending frame part of the main body (A). Attach the
feet using the 2 pre-assembled screws (3) and curved washers (4). Use the Allen key to firmly tighten (rotate right) the screws.
3. Attach the front foot (has round caps) (5) to the crank part of the main body (B) using the 2 pre-
assembled screws and curved washers. Tighten (rotate right) the screws firmly.
It is critical that you follow the pedal arm to crank attachment procedure carefully to ensure correct assembly. • During assembly, do NOT use excessive force to screw the pedals into the
crank arms – this may indicate misalignment of the pedals or mis-matched threads. If the pedal does not "feel right" when being screwed in, STOP immediately and check that it is the correct pedal and that it is aligned properly with the crank arm. Failure to follow the instructions here or take due care may
damage the equipment and void any product warranty.
4. Starting with the right-hand side, identify the right-hand pedal (6), which has a right-hand thread (this is
the usual type – rotate right / clockwise to tighten) and an "R" (C) on the underside of the pedal.
5. Very carefully begin screwing the pedal bolt into the crank arm (D) (rotate right / clockwise). If the pedal
bolt does not "feel right" when being screwed in, STOP immediately and check that it is the correct pedal and that it is aligned properly with the crank arm. Firmly tighten (rotate clockwise) the pedal bolt using the spanner.
6. Repeat steps 4 to 5 for the left-hand pedal (has an "L" on the underside of the pedal), noting that
the pedal bolt and crank arm thread is left-hand (rotate left / anti-clockwise to tighten).
7. For each pedal, attach the pedal strap (7)
to the protrusions on each side of the pedal. The end of the strap with two holes should be placed over the protrusion (E) on the inside of the pedal (near the crank arm). Attach the other end of the strap using a slot that is suitable for your foot.

and acorn nut that can be used in place of the
8. Bring the seat (8), pointed end facing forward, into position on
the top of the seat post, and attach it from underneath using the 3 pre-assembled nuts (9). Use the spanner to firmly tighten (rotate right) the nuts.
9. Bring the handlebar (10) into position so that the arms are
facing forward. Attach it using the 2 pre-assembled screws and curved washers (11) (it is easier to insert these through the handlebar first). Use the Allen key to firmly tighten (rotate right) the screws.
10. Insert batteries into the console (12), then slide it onto the
mounting plate (F) on the handlebar. Insert the cable (G) into the "Sensor Input" connector on the rear of the console.
When correctly assembled, the machine should resemble the image below and is ready for use.
Folding / Unfolding
To fold, remove the frame locking pin (H), then move the handlebar toward the seat. When the unit is fully folded, re-insert the locking pin fully through hole (I).
To unfold, remove the frame locking pin, then move the handlebar away from the seat. When the unit is fully unfolded, re-insert the locking pin fully through hole (J).
Note: The equipment also comes with a bolt locking pin as a more "permanent" method of
securing the unit.

Control
Description
Display
Shows various information depending on current function. For example, current speed, used calories etc.
Note: To approximately convert calories to kilojoules, multiply the number of calories by 4.

Press to switch between available functions. The current function is displayed at the bottom of the display. Press and hold for approximately 5 seconds to reset all values to zero "0".
DIST. - Shows the current distance travelled for the session. CAL - Shows the current calories used for the session. TIME - Shows the current time elapsed for the session. SCAN - Automatically steps the display between each function every 4 seconds.
Operation
Console and Functions
The equipment features a computerized display that provides you with workout information, such as duration, speed, distance travelled etc. The console activates as soon as a key is pressed or the pedals are moved. When the machine is not being used, the console switches off automatically after 4 minutes.
Adjusting Resistance
The resistance of the crank to being rotated can be adjusted. Increased resistance requires more effort and, therefore, uses more energy. To adjust crank resistance, rotate the knob below the handlebar – 1 = least resistance, 8 = greatest resistance.

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.
