RESISTANCE ADJUSTmENT
The micro-adjust resistance knob is located just below the handlebars on the bike frame, for easier pedaling resistance control. Turn
the knob in a clockwise direction to increase pedal resistance. Turn the knob in a counter clockwise direction to decrease pedal
resistance.
DISmOUNTINg THE CyCLE
Use one of the following methods to stop the pedals:
• Reduce your pedal speed until you come to a complete stop.
• Push down on the brake knob to come to a complete stop.
• Increase the resistance by turning the resistance knob in a clockwise position until you come to a complete stop.
mOVINg THE CyCLE
Make sure the quick release levers for the handlebar are tight. Stand in front of the cycle, grasping the end of the handlebars. Place
one foot on the cycle’s front support foot to stabilize the cycle and begin tilting the cycle toward you. The transport wheels should
now be in contact with the ground and can easily roll in any direction. Be careful when moving the cycle to prevent a sudden impact
that could harm the cycle or its surroundings.
STAbILIzINg THE CyCLE
The Indoor Cycle should operate on a level surface with no lateral movement. Check the cycle’s stability by attempting to rock it side
to side. If the leveler is not resting completely on the floor, loosen the nut with one hand to allow the leveler to rotate. Repeat the front
and rear foot adjustment as necessary until the Cycle is stable. Lock the adjustment by tightening the nut against the front and rear
foot support.
The Indoor Cycle uses a fixed flywheel that builds momentum and will keep the pedals turning even after the user stops
pedaling or if the user’s feet slip off. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE YOUR FEET FROM THE PEDALS OR DISMOUNT
THE MACHINE UNTIL BOTH THE PEDALS AND THE FLYWHEEL HAVE COMPLETELY STOPPED. Failure to follow these
instructions may lead to loss of control and the potential for serious injury.
