MAINTENANCE

How to Take Care of Your Bike

  • Storage
    • Keep the equipment in a dry place with as little temperature variation as possible. Try to protect from dust and always unplug when not in use (if applicable).
    • The safety level given by the design of this air bike can only be maintained when this air bike is regularly examined for damage and wear.
    • Inoperable components should be replaced immediately or this air bike should be put out of use until it is repaired.

IMPORTANT: NEVER REMOVE THE PROTECTIVE CASING.

  • Your air bike is designed for indoor exercising only and should not be used or stored in damp areas.
  • Ensure you regularly check components for wear and make sure all the nuts & bolts are tightened before each exercise session.

Maintenance Tips

  • Always use a soft, cotton cloth and dilute non-abrasive cleaner or a mid detergent for cleaning the exterior of this bike.
  • Never use ammonia, acid-based, or petroleum-based solvents on any portion of the bike as it may damage the finish.

Preventative maintenance Schedule

Daily

  • Before each use, make certain that the area around the bike is free of obstacles that may interfere with the dual-action handlebar & pedal rotation.
  • Before each use, check that pedals & shaft screws are securely tightened and inspect both pedals & pedal straps for wear. After each use, wipe down the surface of the air bike to remove sweat and moisture.
  • Wipe the face of the display console with a slightly damp, soft, cotton cloth. Avoid getting extra moisture on the display console. Keeping the display console free of fingerprints and sweat will extend the life of the console.

Weekly

  • Thoroughly clean the plastic housing of the bike.
  • Clean the top of the pedal straps, saddle & seat post, and the display console.
  • Check that pedals are securely tightened and inspect both pedals and pedal straps for wear.
  • Inspect all assembly bolts & nuts for wear and ensure that they are sufficiently tight.

Monthly

  • Make sure all of the open ends of metal parts are wiped with thin grease to protect them from rust.
  • Check the ribbed belt has correct tension: replace cracked, frayed, or otherwise non-uniform belt. If necessary, call your local authorized distributor for Customer Service replacement.
  • Inspect for side-to-side play in axle assembly, and a grinding feeling in the crank area when pedaling. If necessary, call your local authorized distributor for Customer Service replacement.
  • Check and Replace the Console AA Battery if needed.
  • Clean for dust on the Fan Wheel Assembly with a spray gun if available.

Troubleshooting

YOU SHOULD KNOW…

  • If you have a problem with your equipment, before you do anything else, please, check that all the cables have been connected correctly. Loose cables are very common and many problems can be solved by making sure the cables are properly connected.
  • If you are having problems with your heart rate reading, please note that some fibres used in clothes (eg polyester, create static electricity that may prevent a reliable heart rate reading).
  • Mobile phones, TVs, microwaves and other electrical appliances that generate an electromagnetic field may also interfere with heart rate measurement.
  • If you are still having problems with your equipment, please get in touch with your local distributor.

IMPORTANT:

  • Always consult your doctor before undertaking a new exercise regime.
  • If you experience nausea, dizziness or other abnormal symptoms during exercise, stop at once and consult your doctor.

Starting and finishing your workout

  • Begin and end each workout with a Warm Up / Cool Down session – a few minutes of stretching to help prevent strains, pulls and cramps

Correct cycling form

  • Sit on the cycle, with your feet on the pedals and inside the pedal straps
  • Ensure that the seat height is adjusted correctly – you should be stable and balanced whilst on the saddle.
  • The basic rule for getting the seat height right is that as the pedal reaches its lowest point, the leg is almost straight.
  • Try to ensure that your back is straight whilst exercising, especially for long periods.

Heart Rate Training

To get the most out of your new piece of fitness equipment and see the best results from your training you should exercise at the right level of effort, and that means listening to your heart! Working out to a target heart rate means you can direct your workout to achieve different goals:

  • Good health – For those wishing to improve their quality of life and general well-being. Your sessions will need to be done at an intensity of between 50-60% of your estimated maximum heart rate, should last about 30 minutes and can be done on most days of the week.
  • Weight loss – To see a significant reduction in body fat, your sessions must be a little more intense – between 60 and 70% of your estimated maximum heart rate. These sessions can also be performed on most days of the week for up to 30 minutes.
  • Improving Fitness levels – These sessions should be performed at 70-80% of your estimated maximum heart rate and can also involve bouts of interval training that would have your heart rate peaking for short times near your maximum heart rate level. These are intense sessions and will require at least a 48-hour rest between sessions.

How long should I exercise for?

  • That depends on your current level of fitness.
  • If you’re just starting on a new exercise program, you should start gradually and build up – do not try to do too much too quickly. 30 minutes, 3 times a week should be enough.
  • Don’t push yourself too hard – you should never feel exhausted during or following exercise.

Calculating your target heart rate

  • First, you need to find your estimated maximum heart rate using the formula ‘220 minus your age in years’. So, if you are 35 years old your estimated maximum heart rate is: 220 – 35 = 185 beats per minute (bpm) Next, to calculate your target heart rate, simply multiply your estimated maximum heart rate (185bpm) by the applicable percentage. So, if your goal is better health: 185 x 60% = 111bpm
  • Note: Heart rate training requires you to monitor your heart rate throughout the workout. For this, we recommend using a chest strap (if your machine has a wireless receiver) or a heart rate monitor.

Seat Adjustment

  • Seat Height
    • Rotate the pedals so that one of the pedals is in the upward position.
    • Place your foot in the toe clip the pedal closest to the floor and mount the bike. Ensure that the ball of your foot is over the centre of the pedal. Your leg should be slightly bent at the knee.
    • If your leg is too straight or your foot cannot touch the pedal you will need to lower the seat. If your leg is bent too much you will need to raise the seat.
    • Dismount the bike and release/pull the seat post adjustment handle once loosened you may slide the eat post up or down as necessary.
    • When the seat is in the desired position push the seat stem adjustment handle forward to secure the seat post. Note the final position mark on the seat stem for future reference.

Seat Fore/Aft Position

  • Adjusting the fore/aft allows for a better fit. Dismount the bike pull the seat adjustment handle and slide the seat forward or backward.
  • Sit on your bike with cranks in the 3 & 9 o’clock position.
  • Proper fore/ aft position is achieved when the small bump at the top of the shin directly below the knee cap (tibial tuberosity) is approximately over the pedal axle (at the 3 o’clock position).
  • Dismount the bike and release the adjustment handle to secure the seat.

Comfortable Position Check

Now that you have established a riding position, take a few minutes to ride the bike and confirm that your position is comfortable. Start pedalling at a slow pace with your toes and knees pointed directly forward. Hold the grips lightly and in a position that allows your shoulders and upper body to relax. Pedal easily at a low resistance until you feel confident that you can ride in that position comfortably for the duration of your workout.
