Usage Features

Safety First: Users are advised to obtain a complete physical examination from a physician before starting any fitness program. The manual emphasizes reading all instructions before assembly and operation, especially regarding safety precautions.
Children and Pets: The equipment is not recommended for small children and should only be used under strict adult supervision. Children and pets should be kept at a safe distance due to moving parts.
Assembly: The manual provides step-by-step assembly instructions (Steps A-F) with diagrams. It recommends assembly by a qualified dealer and emphasizes reading instructions thoroughly to avoid errors and damage. Key assembly steps include attaching stabilizers, pedals, handlebar, and saddle.
Workout Program: The manual outlines a typical exercise program consisting of three phases:
- Warm-Up Phase: Helps blood flow, prepares muscles, and reduces injury risk. Includes stretching exercises (held for ~30 seconds).
- Exercise Phase: Focuses on effort to improve flexibility and raise heart rate into the target zone (70-85% of maximum heart rate, calculated by age). Recommended duration is a minimum of 12 minutes, typically 15-20 minutes.
- Cool-Down Phase: Gradually reduces heart rate and muscle activity, repeating warm-up exercises and stretches for approximately 5 minutes.
Muscle Toning: Achieved by setting resistance quite high, which may reduce workout duration.
Weight Loss: Emphasizes the amount of effort and duration of the workout to burn more calories.
Pedal and Crank Warning: Critical instructions for pedal assembly and maintenance. Pedals are marked "L" and "R" and must be threaded into the correct side (R for right-hand threaded, L for left-hand threaded) to prevent damage. Pedals must be firmly seated against the crank with no visible gap. Regular checking and re-tightening of pedals before each use are essential to prevent damage to the pedal spindle and crank threads, which is not covered under warranty if due to lack of maintenance. A multi-wrench (15) is provided for this purpose.

Maintenance Features

Regular Inspection: Users must always check the unit before each use, ensuring all fasteners are secure and in good working condition.
Post-Workout Care: After each workout, wipe off the console (if applicable) and other frame surfaces with a clean, water-dampened soft cloth to remove perspiration.
Parts Replacement: Inspect and tighten all parts regularly. Replace any worn or defective parts immediately. Do not use the equipment if worn parts have not been replaced.
Troubleshooting: If the exerciser does not feel smooth, check the status of parts and contact the service hotline if needed.
Cleaning: Never use abrasives or solvents to clean the equipment. Keep liquids away from the computer to prevent damage.
Warranty Registration: Users are encouraged to register their product warranty online at https://service.gpi.com.au/registerwarranty.php. The manual also provides contact information for the service department (service@gpigroup.com.au or 1800 005 770).
