CHECKLIST

TOOLKIT

When you open the carton, and you will find the below parts in the carton:

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Missing parts: If you think you are missing certain parts in your package, carefully check the styrofoam and the folding bike. Some parts (bolts, screws, etc.) are already attached to / in the folding bike.
Error message: Ensure that all cables are carefully attached. The aluminum legs are very sensitive and must remain straight. Do you receive an error message after mounting your folding bike? Then you have to straighten these aluminum legs again, this may cause the error message to disappear.
Socket screws: The folding bike contains socket screws, make sure that the Allen key is firmly in the bolt before you apply force to the key. In this way, you prevent the head of the socket head screw from being rotated.

STEP 1

• Assemble Rear & Front Stabilizer
• Assemble Pedals (L / R).

STEP 2

• Assemble Saddle.

Adjust the Saddle
The Saddle Support has a “Max” Sign to show the maximum height of the Saddle. You should not exceed this height. Unscrew the Seat Adjustment Knob (26) a couple of turns then pull the knob outwards to release the Seat Support Tube (6). To get the ideal seat height you must adhere to the following guideline; the highest pedal should be near your knee and the saddle should protrude just above your waist.

STEP 3

• Assemble Handlebar & Exercise Monitor.

LEVELING THE BIKE AND RESISTANCE

LEVELING THE BIKE

For sucurity and staility, your folding bike has a factory welded frame and once fully assembled correctly, should not need further alignment. However, in the interest of safety, please always ensure that your folding bike is positioned on a solid, flat surface. If necessary, use a rubber mat underneath to reduce the possibility of slipping in use. If you need to make a fine adjustment, simply twist the end of either Rear Frame Stabiliser Adjustable Hex End Cap (27) to compensate for uneven floors.

TENSION KNOB

To ensure smooth efficient cycling action, the tension belt braking system on your folding bike has been correctly adjusted by our factory during production.
TENSION KNOB ADJUSTMENT
You could adjust the tension for varied resistance with the Tension Control (19).
NOTE: You should begin your “Exercise Period” at the resistance level and speed to suit your needs. Remember to start out slow and easy, and work your way up to the fitness level you desire.

FOLDING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: Store your machine in a dry area away from children and high traffic areas as shown in the illustration. Be sure it is secure and cannot fall onto small animals or children.

FOLDING

Using the Locking Pin (3) to fold and unfold the bike. When folded, the Locking Pin (3) is in Positon A.

UNFOLDING

Using the Locking Pin (3) to fold and unfold the bike. When in use, the Locking Pin (3) is in Position B.

MAINTENANCE

Parts that are already used and/or damaged must be replaced before continuing use. The rower machine may only be used indoors and stored away, prolonged exposure to weathering and changes in temperature/humidity can have a serious impact on the electrical components and moving parts of the folding bike.

DAILY MAINTENANCE

• Check that the rail and the wheels under the seat are free from dust and dirt.

SEMI-ANNUAL MAINTENANCE

• Inspect all bolts and nuts in connection with moving parts of the device, tighten as required.
• Check the mobility of moving parts and components of the user equipment, silicone spray if necessary.

BATTERY

AA BATTERY
The monitor uses an “AA” battery. You can replace the battery through the back of the unit.

The batteries must be installed correctly. If the screen is unreadable or only parts of the image work, follow the next step: Remove the batteries and wait 15 seconds, then reinsert the batteries correctly.

ADVICE FOR HANDLING BATTERIES

1. Remove the batteries when they are exhausted or if you do not use the product for an extended period of time in order to avoid hazards through leaking batteries.
2. Do not recharge batteries nor disassemble or throw them into the fire. The danger of explosion!
3. Pay attention to the polarity (+) and (-). Always replace all the batteries; do not mix old and new batteries or different battery types.
4. Use preferably alkaline batteries, as they have a longer operation time than usual zinc-coal batteries.
5. A change of batteries is necessary when the display becomes weaker or completely faded.

CHANGING THE BATTERIES

1. If you see an improper display on the monitor, please replace the batteries to have a good result.
2. Please use 4pcs of 1.5v AA batteries as a power supply.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The display does not work
If the display no longer works, you can replace the batteries. These are at the back of the display.
The display shows no values
If the display does not show any values, you can try to check the sensor cables and the cables in the back of the display. If this still does not work, you can move the sensor slightly.
Folding bike beeps
Check that all bolts and nuts are tightened securely. Spray silicone spray if necessary. Also, check the wheels.
Squeaky exercise bike
First, lubricate all rotating parts with silicone spray. It can also be that a screw is tightened too tightly or too loosely, this creates friction and therefore a beep. If this is the case, try to find out exactly where the beep is coming from and then loosen or tighten this screw. The screws should be tightened in such a way that they can always be released by hand.
Ticking noise when pedaling
This is probably caused by one of the pedals. Disassemble the trapper (s) and then reattach them to the device. Be careful, the left-hand trapper has to be turned counterclockwise to tighten, the right-hand trapper clockwise. Tighten the pedals securely. If this does not offer the solution, report this to the supplier.
Heart rate display does not work
This can have various causes.

• The sensor cables running from the heart rate sensor to the display are incorrectly fitted or have come off during use.
• It may be that the sensors have become damp, dirty, or greasy, clean them regularly.

The console doesn’t work

• Are there any other problems? Please contact your dealer.
• When the display shows Drawing D, it means the batteries need to be changed.
• If there is no signal when you pedal, please check if the cable is well connected.

PARTS LIST

TRAINING INSTRUCTIONS

A successful exercise program consists of a warm-up, aerobic exercise, and a cool-down. Do the entire program at least two and preferably three times a week, resting for a day between workouts. After several months, you can increase your workouts to four or five times per week.

WARMING UP

The purpose of warming up is to prepare your body for exercise and to minimize injuries. Warm up for two to five minutes before strength training or aerobic exercising. Perform activities that raise your heart rate and warm the working muscles. Activities may include brisk walking, jogging, jumping jacks, jump rope, and running in place.

STRETCHED

Stretching while your muscles are warm after a proper warm-up and again after your strength or aerobic training session is very important. Muscles stretch more easily at these times because of their elevated temperature, which greatly reduces the risk of injury. Stretches should be held for 15 to 30 seconds.

COOLING DOWN

The purpose of cooling down is to return the body to its normal or near- normal, resting state at the end of each exercise session. A proper cool-down slowly lowers your heart rate and allows blood to return to the heart.
For questions or missing parts please contact your dealer.
