NOTES: Viewing from as if sitting on the bike, be sure to the right pedal is being installed on the right side of the bike and the left pedal on the left side of the bike! Installing them backwards could lead to the pedal unthreading and breaking off!
Be sure the pedals are opposite each other! If the left pedal is all the way up, the right pedal should be all the way down!
The ProWave Bike is now full assembled! Please note that it is easiest to se seat height, handlebar location and foot strap tightness BEFORE placing the bike in the water. See chart below to properly adjust the seat height to best suit the user. Before riding, always check that the seat post is securely clamped. Riding with an improperly tightened seat post can allow the seat to slip and/or fall.

PRODUCT USE

The ProWave Bike is designed for use in and out of the water. To use in water, use the wheels at the front of the bike to roll the bike down the wall into the water. Optimal water depth is 3 1/2 to 5 feet (1 to 1.5 meters).
See FIGURE 04

The ProWave Bike can be set to multiple levels of resistance. The resistance adjustment know is located on the main frame. To increase the resistance for a harder workout, turn the knob clockwise. To decrease the resistance, turn the knob counter-clockwise.
See FIGURE 05, FIGURE 06 and DETAIL F
NOTE: Always begin pedaling on the easiest level and increase the resistance to more difficult settings while pedaling. Never start pedaling at high resistance as you may experience a transmission bind up. However, if this does occur, release the resistance back to easy and begin again.

Terminology
“Saddle”: means to be seated on the bike saddle, with hands on the handlebars.
“Saddle-Upright”: means to be seated with hands OFF the handlebars.
“Standing”: off the saddle, hands onthe handle bars; body is more vertical than seated alignment. Pedaling action is happening directly below the hips. It is recommended that riders use the handlebars in this position, rather than pedaling hands off.

Riding Position| Hands/arms position| Class Component
Length of time & Resistance level| Helpful Cues
---|---|---|---
Standing| • Hands remain on the handle bars while standing.
• The body is tall and straight, not hunched over the handle- bars.
• Grip should be firm but relaxed.
• Avoid tensing the shoulders and neck.| Cardiovascular Exercise Intervals:
• 1-2 minutes at a time, increase when possible.
• Start with shorter intervals of 10 – 20 seconds if the rider is inexperienced or unfit.
• Gradually increase the time spent standing, and / or increase the resistance
setting on the bike.
• Riders can adjust cadence to increase the challenge of the interval. Faster is more difficult. However, smooth pedal stroke should always be maintained.
• Perceived exertion levels of 7  – 9 are appropriate unless health concerns dictate otherwise. Medical
clearance for cardiovascular exercise should be mentioned.
(Resistance – moderate to high)| • Maintain long, strong alignment throughout these intervals.
• Inability to maintain alignment and / or the smooth efficiency of the pedal stroke means the work interval is too challenging – sit and resume seated pedaling until you are recovered sufficiently to try another standing interval.
• Monitor the comfort of the low back and knees during this activity.
• Adding arm movement to this position is not advised for most. Very experience riders may achieve this, but alignment and smooth pedal stroke are always the
priority.
•Vigorous arm movements combinedwith inadequate core stability can cause the bike to tip while riding-not recommended.
Saddle In this position, water level
should be at approximately mid-sternum.| Hands grip the horizontal portion of the handle bars or wider grip.
lip: Use a light grip, elbows slightly bent – rest the hands where they are most comfortable for your body. Experiment with a variety of hand placements & change placement during the workout as desired.
NOTE: When more resistance is added, riders tend to grip too firmly on the handlebars. Maintain a relaxed grip to avoid unnecessary tension in the arms, shoulders and neck. Tight grips restrict blood flow and elevate blood pressure, so are not advised.| Warm up:
•3-5 minutes of spinning with little or low resistance.
• Warm-up needs to be more vigorous and longer in water that feels cool. It can be
shorter in warm (therapy) pools (G90 F).
• This part of the workout is useful for achieving comfortable alignment, hand position, and pedal stroke.
• Exertion level: Low; feels great, you can easily talk; not breaking a sweat.
• (Resistance – low)| • Hold correct body  alignment: long spine, neutral neck, shoulders down.
• Focus on the efficiency and smoothness of the pedal stroke.
• Pedal should feel even ‘around the clock’; equal push and pull, not just
pushing down.
Saddle-Upright
•In this position, water should be no lower than the
bottom of the sternum.
• Stron g individuals can use gloves to increase resistance.
• Buoyant dumbbells or resistive hand wands can be added, but instruction should be given to protect the shoulders,
neck, elbows & wrists.| Seated on the Saddle with hands off the handle bars. The torso is more upright than the Saddle position. All arm actions can be done with both arms moving in unison, or arms moving alternately (usually more challenging for the core).
Arm/hand movements for interest and intensity:   Keep   the   arms   in   the water   to   use the resistance of the water. Do not move the arms in and out of the water.
• Breaststroke- largesweeping movements forward, to the sides & in.
• Modified breast stroke: use the back of the arms & hands to do the breaststroke motion, keeping the thumbs up. Bring the arms as far out and behind the body as possible (externally rotated).
• Cross-country ski arms: palms facing forward swing the arms forward and backward beside the body, surface to surface of the water – alternate or in unison.
• Jumping jack arms: palms facing down; don’t let the arms come out of the water.| Work out: Arm intervals
• Use this option for 5 – 10 minute
intervals between
episodes of cardio intervals.
• Maintain steady cadence.
• The rider should feel somewhat challenged and slightly breathless.
• (Resistance-moderate) sway side to side.| • Maintain correct body alignment and the smoothness and efficiency of the pedal stroke.
• If alignment is lost, slow down the pedal  stroke while executing arm movements.
• Avoid having the body
• Keep the core fixed, vertical, and strong.
• Stay well connected to the saddle.
• Keep the hands in the
water throughout.
• Power posture: core vertical, shoulders down, neck relaxed.

NOTE: Bike may not resemble your exact model. The same exercises can be done on all Aqua Creek bikes.

PRODUCT CARE

Check and make sure pedals and pedal hardware are tight before use. Failure to do so will cause the hardware in the pedal to break.| | |
Thoroughly clean bike frame and apply a liberal coat of car wax to maintain the bike’s finish.| | |
Check all Warning and Cautionary labels to make sure they are not faded or worn. Replace as needed.| | |

PROPER CARE NOTES:

• Use only fresh water to wash your bike. Do not wash with pool water.
• Use only clean, soft, non-abrasive cloths to wipe down your bike.
• Remove bike from pool after each use and wash down.
• Do not store bike in pump room or near chemicals.
• Do not allow children to play on or around this bike.

STAIN REMOVAL TIPS:
To remove stains, wash affected area with mild dish soap. For stubborn spots and stains, try using Soft Scrub™ with some brisk rubbing. Apply wax to finish.

NOTHING LASTS FOREVER, INCLUDING YOUR BIKE:
When the useful life of your bike or its components is over, continued use is hazardous. Every bike and its component parts have a finite, limited useful life. The length of that life will vary with the maintenance and care the frame and components receive over their life; and the type and amount of use to which the frame and components are subjected. Aggressive riding, riding in a severe environment (such as a lake or other non pool environment), riding with heavy loads, commercial activities and other types of nonstandard use can dramatically shorten the life of the frame and components. Any one or a combination of these conditions may result in an unpredictable failure. You should have your bike and its components checked periodically for indicators of stress and/or potential failure, including cracks, deformation, corrosion, powder-coat peeling, dents, and any other indicators of potential problems, inappropriate use or abuse. These are important safety checks which may prevent accidents, bodily injury to the rider and shortened product life.
