Adjusting the tension:
Increasing or decreasing the tension al-
lows you to add variety to your workout
sessions by adjusting the resistance
level of the bike. To increase tension
and increase resistance (requiring more
strength to pedal), turn the emergency
brake & tension control knob (pt. 30)
to the right. To decrease tension and
increase resistance (requiring less
strength to pedal), turn the emergency
brake & tension control knob (pt. 30)
to the left.
Using the Emergency Brake Function:
The same knob that allows you to ad-
just the tension of the bike also doubles
as the emergency brake. Use this sa-
fety feature in any situation where you
would need to get off the bike and/or
stop the bike's flywheel.
To use the emergency brake function in
any situation you would need it in, firmly
press down on the emergency brake &
tension control knob (pt. 30).
