KICKR SETUP

Place your KICKR on a stable, level surface
and open the legs by (1) pressing down
on the blue leg-lock tabs and (2) pivoting
the legs outward until they snap in place.

(NOTE: Ensure the leg-lock tabs have
popped back up and secured the legs in
an open position.)

(3) Use the included AC power adapter
to connect the trainer to a standard
wall outlet.

Download the Wahoo Fitness app
for free from the Apple App Store or
from the Android Google Play Store.

Follow the in app setup guide to complete
your profile and to pair sensors.

To stabilize the trainer, adjust the two
leveling feet (4) by twisting them left or
right until the trainer is level and (5) lock
them into place by tightening the blue
locknuts against the KICKR leg frame.

(NOTE: Check that your trainer is stable
before every ride; if needed re-adjust the
leveling feet.)

Adjust the height of the trainer to fit your
specific wheel size by (6) relocating the
height adjustment knob on the center
leg to the appropriate setting. If you are
unsure of your wheel size, check the tire
sidewall or consult your local bike shop.

away from the bicycle frame (1); the lever is
“closed” when it curves towards the bicycle
frame (2). The handle of the quick release skewer is always on the non-drive (non cassette)
side of the KICKR. Only use the provided quick release skewer while using the KICKR.

your bicycle’s thru axle (3) and
tightening to manufacturer
