Usage Features
The spin bike offers several features to enhance the user experience:
Assembly:
- Stabiliser Attachment: The front and rear stabilisers are attached to the main frame using screws, spring washers, and washers.
- Pedal Installation: The pedals (90L/R) are screwed into the cranks (39L/R) and secured with a spanner (B), then tightened with nylon nuts (98L/R) using spanner (C).
- Handlebar Assembly: The trunk line (88) is passed through the handlebar post (74), which is then attached to the handlebar (78) and secured with screws (76), spring washers (10), and washers (11). The handlebar post (74) and trunk line (88) are inserted into the main frame (81) and secured with the knob (13). The trunk line (88) is connected to the inductor (89).
- Display Battery Installation: Two batteries (96) are inserted into the display (87) after removing the battery cover (95), ensuring correct polarity. The battery cover is then replaced.
Operation:
- Mode/Reset Button: Pressing cycles through display operations. Holding for 3 seconds resets time, distance, and calories.
- Display Functions (SCAN): Automatically rotates through Time (TMR), Speed (SPD), Distance (DST), Calories (CAL), and Pulse Rate (PULSE), each displayed for 6 seconds.
- Pulse Rate Measurement: Place both palms on contact pads for 3-4 seconds to display heart rate in BPM. Note: Initial readings may be higher than actual heart rate. This feature is not for medical treatment.
- Auto-Off: The display turns off automatically after 4 minutes of inactivity. It can be reactivated by moving the wheel or pressing any button.
Adjustments:
- Balance: The foot pads (3) can be turned counter-clockwise to adjust the bike's balance.

Maintenance Features
The user guide includes safety warnings that imply certain maintenance aspects:
- Lubrication: It is recommended to lubricate all moving parts every month.
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the bike to remove moisture. Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner and water solution. Avoid petroleum-based solvents.
