Foot Position
Place the balls of your feet securely in the toe straps so that
they are on the center of the pedals.
Foot Strap
Adjust the toe straps to hold your foot firmly on the pedal,
allowing you to apply force throughout every part of the
pedal stroke.
Note If your foot comes loose when riding, firmly press down
on the resistance knob to stop and secure your foot.
Resistance Control and Stop Function
Turn the resistance knob 5 to change the pedaling resistance.
Press down on the knob to stop the flywheel and pedals.
• To increase or decrease resistance, turn the knob
clockwise (+) or counterclockwise (-).
• To stop the flywheel and pedals from moving, firmly
press down on the resistance knob to bring the flywheel
and pedals to a stop.
Ride the bike
CAUTION: Before beginning any fitness program, see your physician for a thorough medical exam.
Ask your physician for the appropriate target heart rate for your fitness level.
Failure to follow these safety instructions can result in serious personal injury.
Step 1: Set up the bike so that the seat, handlebar, toe
strap, or toe clips are properly adjusted for your height
and comfort.
Important: Make sure that all pop-pins are engaged
and fully tightened after adjusting your bike.
Step 2: Mount the bike and secure your shoes in the
toe straps or toe clips.
When you sit on the bike with the pedals parallel to
the floor, your forward knee should be aligned over
the center of the pedal. Turn the resistance knob
clockwise (+) to gradually increase the tension.
To vary the intensity of your workout, adjust the knob
while riding.
Step 3: To dismount, firmly press down on the resistance knob.
Do not dismount the bike until the pedals and flywheel have come to a complete stop.
After each workout
For commercial bikes:
• Release all tension from the resistance knob after each use to allow for perspiration to evaporate. If bikes are used in a
class setting, the instructor should direct class participants to release all tension from the resistance knob after each use.
For bikes used in a home setting:
• Wipe down the bike after each use. Pay special attention to wipe under the resistance knob.
• When done, turn the resistance knob clockwise (+) to put tension on the flywheel so that the pedals do not rotate freely.
• When the bike is not in use, always keep some resistance on the flywheel.
