ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS (STEP 01-06)

Missing parts: If any parts are missing from the packaging, carefully check the polystyrene foam and the appliance itself. Some parts (bolts, screws, etc.) are already attached to the unit.
Error message: Make sure that all cables are carefully attached. The aluminium feet of the console are very sensitive and must be kept straight. If the console gives an error message after the machine has been mounted, the aluminium feet of the console may be bent. Straightening the aluminium feet may make the error message disappear.
Hex head bolts: Make sure that the hex head spanner is pushed into the bolt before applying force. This will prevent the head of the socket bolt from turning.

ADJUSTING

Saddle
In order to train effectively, it is advisable to adjust the saddle to the correct height. When pedalling, your knees should be slightly bent when the pedals are in the down position.
To adjust the saddle to the vertical position, follow the steps below:

• Loosen the knob on the seat post and pull the knob towards you.
• Move the seat post up or down until the saddle is in the desired position and release the knob.
• Move the seat post slightly up or down to ensure that the knob is in one of the adjustment holes.
• Tighten the knob on the seat post.

Waterpass

• For stability and safety reasons, the folding exercise bike has a welded frame. If assembled correctly at one time, the exercise bike will not require any further adjustment.
• Always make sure the folding exercise bike is placed on a stable surface. If in doubt, a rubber mat can be placed underneath the exercise bike to improve the grip on the floor. If the folding exercise bike requires adjustment, simply rotate the adjustable
  ends (27) on either side of the rear frame to compensate the exercise bike for an uneven surface.

Resistance knob
To ensure a smooth and efficient pedaling motion, the resistance is adjusted at the factory during production.
Tension adjustment with the resistance knob The tension can be adjusted to different resistance levels by turning the resistance knob (19).
NOTE! It is recommended to start training at a level that suits your own needs. Remember to start slow and gentle and work your way up to the level that suits you.

TRAINING GUIDELINES (FIG. B, 1-5)

A successful training program includes a warm-up, the actual training and a cool-down. Perform the complete training program at least twice, but preferably three times a week and keep a rest day between training sessions. After a few months, the intensity of the training can be increased, for example to four or five times a week.
The warm-up
The purpose of a warm-up is to prepare the body for training and to reduce the risk of injury. Warm up your body for two to five minutes before starting a cardio or strength training session. Do exercises that increase the heart rate and warm up the working muscles. Examples of this type of activity are running, jogging, jumping jacks, skipping and running in place.
Stretching
Stretching while the muscles are warm is very important after a good warm-up and cool-down. It reduces the risk of injury. Stretching exercises should be held for 15-30 seconds. Here are some examples of stretching exercises:

• Toe touch (Fig. B-1)
• Inner thight stretch (Fig. B-2)
• Hamstring stretch (Fig. B-3)
• Achilles stretch (Fig. B-4)
• Side stretch (Fig. B-5)

Cooling down
The purpose of the cool-down is to return the body to its (near) normal resting position at the end of the workout. A good cool-down slowly reduces your heart rate and promotes recovery.
