Usage Features:
The spin bike is designed for home fitness and offers several adjustable features to enhance the user experience and ensure proper fit:
- Adjustable Feet (4): Located on the front (2) and rear (12) stabilizers, these allow for leveling the machine on uneven surfaces, contributing to stability.
- Pedals (15L/R): Left and right pedals are designed to be tightened securely onto the cranks (16L/R) to prevent damage during use. The left pedal tightens counterclockwise, and the right pedal tightens clockwise.
- Saddle (27) Adjustment: The saddle can be fixed onto the saddle upper glide (26). Its position can be adjusted using the globe knob (28) and handlebar knob (22) to ensure a comfortable and effective riding posture. Users are advised to retighten after adjustment.
- Handlebar Post (31) Adjustment: The height of the handlebar post can be adjusted and tightened with the L knob (29) to suit the user's preference.
- Handlebar Joint (32) Adjustment: The distance of the handlebar joint can be adjusted. This involves removing specific screws (20), glide caps (19), and bolts (21), sliding the handlebar upper glide (33) into the handlebar post's lower booth, repositioning the glide nut (23), adjusting the distance, and then tightening the handlebar joint (32) to the handlebar post (31) with the handlebar knob (22) and washer (5). The removed components are then reinstalled.
- Console (36): A console is included to display workout data. It is mounted on the console frame (35) with bolts (37) and flat washers (34), and then inserted into the handlebar joint (32). The manual does not detail the specific metrics displayed by the console but implies its role in monitoring training.
- Tension Control (17): While not explicitly detailed in the assembly steps, the presence of a "Tension Control" part (17) indicates that the bike's resistance can be adjusted, allowing users to vary the intensity of their workout.

The manual emphasizes several key maintenance aspects to ensure the longevity and safe operation of the spin bike:
- Pre-use Checks: Before initial use and regularly thereafter, all screws, nuts, and other connections should be checked and tightened to ensure the trainer is in a safe condition.
