Note that two people are needed for the assembly.

The packaging includes a silicate bag for absorbing moisture during storage and transportation. Please dispose of the bag once you have unpacked the equipment. Allow at least 100 cm of clearance around the equipment. We also recommend opening the package and assembling the product on a protective base.

Step 1:
Front and rear support post Assembly

1. Install the front and rear support post with four 3/8”×3-1/2” carriage bolts (81), four 3/8” curved washers(83) and four 3/8” cap nuts(82). The front and rear support post are different. Be sure to assemble the support post with the transport wheels onto the front of the bike.

Step 2:
Rear cover

1. Install the rear support post cover with two M5 x 10mm screws (91).

Step 3:
Handlebard and bottleholder

Install the handlebar with four 5/16” x 15mm bolts (88), 5/16” split washers (49) and four 5/16” flat washers (48). Tighten the bolts securely. Install the bottleholder to the main frame with two Philips head screws (93).

Install the Left (25L) and Right (25R) pedal to the crank arm. Please note that the Left pedal has a reverse threaded bolt and needs to be tightened in a counterclockwise direction. The pedals are identified by either an R or L stamped into the end of the bolt.

Adjustments & setup

Take some time to learn how to properly adjust the bike to your body; it will make your workouts more pleasant and a safer experience too. Riding the bike when it is incorrectly adjusted can result in discomfort and increase your risk of injury.

Adjustment of seat position

Seat height adjustment:

1. Standing next to the bike, adjust seat until it is about hip height.
2. Rotate crank arms until the pedals are in the vertical position
3. Place your foot in toe cage of pedal closest to the floor and mount the bike. Ensure that the ball of your foot is over the center of pedal. Your leg should be slightly bent at the knee, about 5 degrees.
4. If your leg is too straight or your foot cannot touch pedal you will need to lower seat height. If your leg is bent too much you will need to raise seat height.
5. Dismount the bike. Loosen the quick release lever on seat tube and adjust up or down as necessary.
6. When seat is in the desired position, tighten the quick release lever to secure the seat tube.
7. Note the final position mark on the seat tube for future reference.

Forward adjustments:

1. Sit on bike with crank arms in the 3 and 9 o’clock positions. For road bike training, a proper forward/aft position of the seat is achieved when small bump at the top of the shin is above pedal axle.
2. Dismount the bike. Loosen the quick release lever under the seat and slide the seat forward or backward as desired; then tighten the quick release lever.

Handlebar adjustment

Handlebar Height Adjustment

1. The Handlebar height is a matter of preference. Start with a handlebar height that is the same as the seat’s height. Adjusting the handlebar higher will give the rider a more upright position; lower will result in a more crouched position.
2. Raise or lower the handlebar by loosening quick release lever on handlebar tube and adjust by sliding the handlebar mount up or down as desired. Then tighten the quick release lever to secure the handlebar tube. Note the final position mark on handlebar tube for future reference.

Adjustment of Handlebar’s Forward/Aft Position:

1. Loosen the quick-release lever under the handlebar and slide the handlebar forward or backward as desired. Suitable forward/aft position should allow the rider to comfortably grasp the handlebar with a slight bend at the elbow.
2. Tighten the quick-release lever to secure the handlebar.

How to use our dual-function pedal

Attaching Cleats to Your Shoes:
If you have questions it is recommended that you consult a bicycle dealer for assistance, or refer to your shoe manufacturer’s instructions. When fixing the cleat the lateral center line should be under the center of the ball of the foot. Adjust forward and backward via the slots in the shoe sole. Adjust laterally via play between cleat washer and cleat. Tighten cleats very firmly. Cleat position can be fine-tuned, according to personal preference, after trial use. It may take time to find your optimum cleat set-up.

Toe Clips:
All standard toe clips can be attached to the pedals. Use fixing hardware and installation instructions supplied with toe clips and ensure the attachment screws are firmly tightened before use.

To Use Pedals:
Engage cleated shoes in pedals by placing cleat between bindings while pushing down. Disengage by twisting heel outwards away from exercise bike. Binding tension is adjustable and should be set so that cleat and shoe do not disengage when pedaling. Use an Allen key to turn tension adjusting screws, clockwise to increase binding tension, counterclockwise to decrease binding tension.

Basic operation

Now that you have established a proper riding position, take a few minutes to ride the bike and determine that your position is comfortable. Start pedaling at a slow pace with your toes and knees pointed directly forward. Hold the handlebar lightly and in a position that allows your shoulders and upper body to relax. Pedal easily, at a low resistance until you feel confident that you could ride in that position for the duration of your workout.

NOTE!
If at any time during your workout, you feel chest pain, experience severe muscular discomfort, feel faint, or are short of breath, stop exercising at once. If condition persist, you should consult your medical doctor immediately

1. Pedaling resistance is controlled by the brake tension knob. Resistance can be changed at any time by turning brake tension knob: clock-wise for more resistance; counterclockwise for less resistance.
2. For emergencies or braking, press the red resistance knob firmly to stop the flywheel.
3. Before dismounting, apply the brake to stop flywheel, or increase resistance and let flywheel come to a stop.
4. If the product is not stable, adjust the stabilizing screws under the rear support appropriately.

Basics on exercising

Working out with this device is excellent aerobic exercise, the principle being that the exercise should be suitably light, but of long duration. Aerobic exercise is based on improving the body’s maximum oxygen uptake, which in turn improves endurance and fitness. The ability of the body to burn fat as a fuel is directly dependent on its oxygen-uptake capacity. Aerobic exercise should be above all pleasant. You should work up a light sweat but you should not get out of breath during the workout.

You should exercise at least three times a week, 30 minutes at a time, to reach a basic fitness level. Maintaining this level requires a few exercise sessions each week. Once the basic condition has been reached, it is easily improved, simply by increasing the number of exercise sessions. You should start slowly at a low pedaling speed and low resistance, because for an overweight person strenuous exercise may subject the heart and circulatory system to excessive strain. As fitness improves, resistance and pedaling speed can be increased gradually. To set the exercising level, adjust the tension knob on the handlebar for a higher resistance.

For a higher resistance, turn the tension knob clockwise, for a lower resistance turn the tension knob counter-clockwise.

Maintenance

• Do not service internal parts of pedals. If they are found to be worn internally, we recommend replacing the pedal.
• Use of lubricants or cleaning solutions other than those so specified will result in diminished performance and a shorter life span for that part.

Maintenance Schedule

Pedals:

1. Ensure that pedals are tight in crank arms; that all screws on pedals are tight; and that the pedal straps are not frayed.
2. Before each use.

Frame:

1. Wipe down by using a soft damp clean cloth.
2. Daily.
3. Water.

Flywheel:

1. Wipe down by spraying on a rag and applying a light coat to sides of the flywheel.
2. Weekly.
3. WD-40 spray.

Brake pad:

1. Inspect for excessive wear or a dry leather brake pad.
2. Weekly.
3. 3-IN-ONE Oil or 10W oil. Do not use silicone-based lubricants.
