Place the rollers on flat and level floor. (see Fig. G)
Check if all 6 feet touch the floor to support the load
properly. If the foot adjuster doesn't reach the floor,
adjust the length by turning the rubber part, then
tighten the lock nut
toward the plastic
cover to fix the size.
Rotate the mid or
front drum to check
if they are properly
connected and spin
smoothly together.

You will not be supported by anything on the rollers. If the rollers have been set on a slanted floor, you will be
pulled to the lower direction and it will become difficult to maintain balance.
If one of the 6 foot has been lifted up or if either drum has touched something, adjust the length of every
adjuster to avoid those problems. After adjusting, tighten the nut toward the Adjuster Spacer to lock it.
How To Ride Rollers
It requires certain skill to ride on the rollers. It's not easy for the beginners, we suggest seeking help from an
experienced roller user. Set up the rollers near a railing or wall so you can have something to support you should
you lose balance.
Below are the tips for riding the rollers. But we strongly recommend you to learn from a skillful coach or carefully
read a specific book or guide before trying the rollers.
1) The most important thing is that you must get on in the center of the bike. If you have shifted to
rightward or leftward, the bike will have to go to this direction naturally. Maintain the correct riding
position.
Do not look down and try to look 2 – 3 meters ahead to keep the balance.
2) The next important thing is that you don't apply any force to the handlebar.
To do so, apply most of your weight to the saddle. Hold the handlebar as lightly as possible. Just
touching the handlebar is the best. Beginners should stay away from the drops until you're more
experienced.
3) Support your body by touching the wall, then start pedaling promptly. The bike can stand alone with
the wheel's gyro moment, so slow speed is not good enough to get this force. The initial speed target
should be 20 - 25 km/h. When you feel you can maintain balance, release your hand slowly.
4) Even if you lose your balance, you can recover automatically by continuing to pedal. Do not apply any
force to the handlebar and do not stop pedaling. Continuing to pedal is the safest way.
5) Never apply the brakes when using the rollers. To stop riding, just stop pedaling and wait for your
speed to slow before extending your leg to touch the ground. We suggest you to set the saddle height
a little lower than usual for easier approach to the step.
