Operating Instructions

The model is designed to used as a indoor training cycle. It has a xed

illustration).

INSTALLATION - It is important that the cycle is correctly assembled. If in

PEDALS AND TOE STRAPS - Your feet should be securely positioned in
the toe clips during exercise. Put your foot as far forward as you can into
the toe-clip and then pull the strap tight.

THE BIKE SHOULD OPERATE ON A LEVEL SURFACE WITH NO
LATERAL MOVEMENT - There is height adjuster caps located on either

side underneath the rear foot. Turn these caps clockwise or anti-clockwise
until the bike is totally stable on the ground.

MAINTENANCE - If any parts become loose, or there is noise from the
ywheel, please contact your supplier as it may be unsafe. Like any other
mechanical cycling device, the bike should be regularly maintained. Ask
your supplier for a detailed maintenance program.

the handlebar. The handlebar position can also be adjusted forwards or backwards. Undo the Release level located below the H-bar slider.
Slide the handlebar assembly forwards until you reach the required position. Then securely re-tighten the Release lever.

ADJUSTING THE SEAT HEIGHT - Undo the knob located where the seat post ts into the frame. Adjust the seat to the required height.

forwards and backwards. Undo the knob located directly to the side of the seat slider. Loosen the knob then slide the seat to the required
position. Then make sure the knob is re-tightened.
