How to maintain the device
Inspect and tighten all parts of the device regularly. Replace any worn part immediately.
For continued smooth operation of the device, the front and rear thwart pipes should be
kept clean. Using a soft cloth and mild detergent, clean any dust and residue that may
build up where the wheels move on the thwart pipes. Other components of the device can
be also be cleaned in this manner.
IMPORTANT: Never use the abrasives or solvents to clean the device. To prevent damage
to the computer, keep liquids away and keep it out of direct sunlight.
Computer trouble-shooting
If the computer does not function properly, the batteries should be replaced. In addition,
make sure that the connectors are plugged into the computer.
Training Organization
Warm-up phase
Before every training you should warm-up for 5~10 minutes. Here you can do some
stretching and training with low resistance.
Exercise phase
During the actual training a rate of 70%~85% of the maximum pulse rate should be
chosen. Maximum pulse rate=220-Age. The time-length of your training session can be
calculated with the following rule of thumb:
 Daily training session: approx. 10 min. per unit
 2-3 x per week:
 1-2 x per week:
Warning! Incorrect/excessive training can cause health injury.
Cool down
To introduce an effective cool-down of the muscles and the metabolism the intensity
should be drastically decreased during the last 5~10 minutes. Stretching is also helpful for
the prevention of muscle aches.
Success
Even after a short period of regular exercise you will notice that you constantly have to
increase the resistance to reach your optimum pulse rate. The units will be continuously
easier and you will feel a lot fitter during your normal day. For this achievement you
should motivate yourself to exercise regular. Choose fixed hours for your training session
and do not start training too aggressively. An old quote amongst sportsman says:
"The most difficult thing about training is to start it."
Wish you have a lot of fun and success with your bike.
