SAFETY GUIDELINE

Warm up 5~10 minutes before exercise, and execute cool-down
5~10 minutes after using the bike in order to avoid any injury.
User should take a break between each exercise cycle.
The training requires a professional assistance. Inappropriate
length of training time and position may cause injury.
Maximum weight for individuals riding the exercise bike:
CS1/CS2/ X-Velocity: should not exceed 330 pounds.
X-Momentum:should not exceed 275 pounds.
X5: should not exceed 250 pounds.
CS1, CS2, X-Velocity and X-Momentum have a weighted flywheel
and a fixed gear. This means that in order to stop,user must
gradually slow your pedal strokes rather than stopping abruptly.
If you do need to stop immediately, push down on the resistance
knob. Do not dismount the bike or remove your feet from the
pedals until both the pedals and the flywheel have stopped
completely. Failure to comply may lead to loss of control and
serious injury.
Do not insert any object, hands or feet into any openings, or
expose hands, arms or feet to the drive mechanism or other
potentially moving part of the bike. After exercising, turn the
Push Brake System knob to increase resistance so the pedals
will not rotate freely and potentially injure someone. If at any
time you feel dizzy or have difficulty breathing, gradually stop
pedaling and carefully dismount the bike. Listen to your body,
ride at your own pace and set your bike’s resistance at the
level that feels right for you.
Keep children and pets away from the bike whenever it's in use.
