RESISTANCE CONTROL AND EMERGENCY BRAKE

The preferred level of difficulty in pedaling (resistance) can be regulated in increments by use of the resistance buttons on the
console. To increase the resistance, push the up arrow. To decrease the resistance, push the down arrow.
FOR INDOOR CYCLE:
WARNING
• Make sure your shoes are fixed into the toe cage (if available).
• Apply full resistance load when the Indoor Cycle is not in use
to prevent injuries due to moving drive gear components.
• The Indoor Cycle does not have a free moving flywheel; the
pedals will continue to move together with the flywheel until
the flywheel stops. Reducing speed in a controlled manner is
required. To stop the flywheel immediately, push down hard
the emergency brake. Always pedal in a controlled manner
and adjust your desired cadence according to your own
abilities. Push the emergency brake down = emergency stop.
• The Indoor Cycle uses a fixed flywheel that builds momentum
and will keep the pedals turning even after the user stops
pedaling or if the user's feet slip off. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
REMOVE YOUR FEET FROM THE PEDALS OR DISMOUNT
THE MACHINE UNTIL BOTH THE PEDALS AND THE
FLYWHEEL HAVE COMPLETELY STOPPED. Failure to follow
these instructions may lead to loss of control and the potential
for serious injury.
INDOOR CYCLE SEAT & HANDELBAR ADJUSTMENT (IF AVAILABLE)
Rotate the adjustment lever or knob counterclockwise to slide the seat or handlebars forward or backward for horizontal
adjustment; raising or lowering the seat or handlebar with the other hand for height adjustment. Rotate the lever or knob
clockwise to lock the position. Do not adjust seat or handlebar height past MAX mark or adjustment points on post.
