SPINNING® PROGRAM SAFETY
• Consult your physician before beginning this or any other excercise
routine. Not all exercise progams are suitable for everyone. Discontinue
any exercise that causes you discomfort and consult a medical expert.
• Ensure that the adjustment knobs (saddle height, saddle fore/aft and
handlebar height) are properly secured and do not interfere with range
of motion.
• Children under the age of 16 should not ride the Spinner® bike.
• Do not insert any object, hands or feet into any openings and do
not expose hands, arms or feet to the drive mechanism or any other
potentially moving parts of the bike.
• The body weight for individuals riding the Spinner A5, Spinner A3 and
Spinner A1 should not exceed 300 pounds (136 kg).
• Spinner® bikes have a weighted flywheel and a fixed gear that do not
allow riders to coast. This means that, in order to stop, you must gradually
slow your pedal strokes rather than stopping abruptly. If you need to stop
immediately, push down on the red resistance knob.
• After use, turn the knob clockwise to increase the resistance so that the
pedals will not rotate freely.
• If at any time you feel dizzy or have diculty breathing, press down on
the red resistance knob to come until you come to complete stop and
carefully dismount the bike.
• Listen to your body, ride at your own pace and set an amount of
resistance that feels right for you.
• Keep children and pets away from the bike whenever it is in use.
• Never turn the pedals or crank arms by hand, unless lubricating the chain
(see page 10 for details).
• Stay hydrated. Drink water throughout your ride.
• Pedal with a light amount of resistance at all times, even during warmup and cool-down. The Spinning program reminds riders to maintain a
connection to the flywheel with resistance throughout the ride.
