2. Insert the L-shaped locking knob through the handlebar and through the handle support tube.
3. Tighten the nut to the end of the bolt. Turn the L-shaped locking knob counterclockwise to loosen and slide the handlebar forward or backward. Turn the L-shaped lock  knob clockwise to lock the handlebar in the current position and tighten the bolt with the washer on the bottom of the L-shaped lock knob (12) with the  supplied screwdriver.

STEP 5

2. The data cable connector A should also be plugged into the back of the monitor screen with cable B, and connect data cable C to cable D on the back of the monitor screen.

BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT

SETTINGS
RESISTANCE AND SEAT ADJUSTMENT: Pedalling resistance is controlled by the tension knob. Properly adjusting the seat will help reducing the risk of injury and  ensure maximum exercise efficiency and comfort. (the most appropriate position while using this bike is with one pedal in the downward position, while the other leg is  slightly bent at the knee.) To adjust the seat height simply turn the adjustable knob loose, then pull the knob to move the seat up or down to the desire height (there are  different seat height positions for adjustment).
HANDLEBAR ADJUSTMENT: There are different handlebar heights that can be adjusted. Please adjust the seat height first then adjust the proper height of handlebar to  match the seat.
BELT ADJUSTMENT: The belt on your bike has been preadjusted and should not require immediate attention.
Continuous use of the bike may cause the chain to stretch or become loose causing the need for bike adjustments. If so, simply losen the bolts on both side of flywheel and  pull forward until the belt becomes tight.
HOW TO LEVEL THE BIKE: There are 4 knobs under the rear and front stabilizer. Adjust the knob when the bike  is not level with the floor.

WARM UP
A successful exercise program consists of a warm-up, aerobic exercise, and a cool-down. Warming up is an important part of your workout, and should begin every session. It prepares your body for more strenuous exercise by heating up and stretching out your muscles, increasing your circulation and pulse rate, and delivering more oxygen to your muscles. At the end of your workout, repeat these exercises to reduce sore muscle problems. We suggest the following warm- up and cool-down exercises:

INNER THIGH STRETCH
Sit with the soles of your feet together with your knees pointing outward. Pull your feet as close into your groin as possible. Gently push your knees towards the floor. Hold  for 15 counts.

HAMSTRING STRETCH
Sit with your right leg extended. Rest the sole of your left foot against your right inner thigh. Stretch toward your toe as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts. Relax and then repeat with left leg extended.

HEAD ROLL
Rotate your head to the right for one count, feeling the stretch up the left side of your neck. Next, rotate your head back for one count, stretching your chin to the ceiling and  letting your mouth open. Rotate your head to the left for one count, and finally, drop your head to your chest for one count.

SHOULDER LIFT
Lift your right shoulder up toward your ear for one count. Then lift your left shoulder up for one count as you lower your right shoulder.

CALF-ACHILLES STRETCH
Lean against a wall with your left leg in front of the right and your arms forward. Keep your right leg straight and the left foot on the floor; then bend the left leg and lean  forward by moving your hips toward the wall. Hold, then repeat on the other side for 15 counts.

SIDE STRECH
Open your arms to the side and continue lifting them until they are over your head. Reach your right arm as far upward toward the ceiling as you can for one count. Feel the stretch up your right side.
Repeat this action with your left arm.

TOE TOUCH
Slowly bend forward from your waist, letting your back and shoulders relax as you stretch toward your toes. Reach down as far as you can and hold for 15 counts.

USING THE PRODUCT

EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN SYSTEM
The product is equipped with an emergency stop system to ensure physical integrity during use. This system is located on the effort regulator wheel and requires a strong pressure on this part to stop the pedalling of the bike.

CONTROL PANEL AND FUNCTIONS

FUNCTION:
The display automatically turns on when pedal movement is detected. The display will cycle through various metrics in the order listed below. If no pedal movement is  detected for 4 minutes, the device will automatically turn off.
– SCAN: When the monitor is running, this area of the display will illuminate and cycle through the metrics in the order of TIME>SPD>DST>CAL>RPM.
– TIME: Cumulative total pedal time.
– SPD: Current cycling speed, measured in miles/hour.
– DIST: Distance travelled in the current session in miles.
– CAL: Estimated calories burned in the current session.
– RPM: Accumulates the average number of turns per minute of the wheel to measure pedal speed.

If you want the display to remain locked on a particular metric, you must press the ENTER button. Pressing the ENTER button again will release the lock and return to  SCAN mode which will automatically cycle through the different metrics.

OPERATION PROCEDURES:
Auto ON/OFF
To conserve power,t he monitor will automatically shut off if there is no speed signal sensed or no key pressed in 4 minutes. The monitor will be auto- powered when the exercise begins or at any key press.
BATTERY:
If there is an improper display on the monitor, Please replace the batteries or change new batteries. This monitor uses two “AA” batteries. Always replace both batteries at the same time.

USE

The seat height can be adjusted by removing the adjustment knob and raising or lowering the seat. There are holes in the seat post allowing for a range of heights. Once the correct height has been chosen, refit the adjustment knob and tighten. The tension control knob allows you to alter the resistance of the pedals. A high resistance makes it more difficult to pedal, a low resistance makes it easier. For the best results set the tension while the bike is in use.

TRAINING
If you are a beginner, start by training for several days at a gentle pace; don’t push yourself and rest if necessary.
Gradually increase the frequency and duration of sessions. Ensure the room in which you are exercising is well ventilated.
STRETCHING/WARMING UP: GENTLE E ORT FOR A MINIMUM OF 10 MINUTES
To maintain tness or for rehabilitation, train every day for at least 10 minutes. This type of exercise provides a good, gentle work-out for muscles and joints and can be used as a warm-up activity before more intense physical exercise.
To develop muscle tone in the legs, choose a steeper incline and increase the duration of the exercise.
AEROBIC EXERCISE FOR WEIGHT LOSS: MODERATE E ORT FOR 35 TO 60 MINUTES
This type of training is an e ective way of burning calories. There is no point in pushing yourself unduly; for the best results the most important thing is frequency of exercise  (at least 3 times a week) and the duration of the session (35 to 60 minutes). Exercise at average intensity (moderate e ort so you are not out of breath).
In order to lose weight, as well as taking regular physical exercise, it’s essential to follow a balanced diet.
AEROBIC TRAINING FOR ENDURANCE: SUSTAINED E ORT FOR 20 TO 40 MINUTES
This type of exercise helps strengthen the heart muscle and improves your respiratory health. Exercise at least 3 times a week at a steady pace (rapid breathing). As your  training progresses, you will be able to maintain this e ort for longer, and at an improved pace.
Training at a faster pace (anaerobic and in the red zone) is reserved for athletes and requires special preparation.

COOL DOWN
After each training session, walk slowly for a few minutes to bring your body gradually to rest. This cool down phase helps your cardiovascular and respiratory systems, blood  circulation and muscles return to normal. It also helps to eliminate side e ects such as the accumulation of lactic acid which is one of the major causes of muscle pain (cramps
and sti ness).

STRETCHING
Stretching after exercise reduces muscle sti ness caused by lactic acid accumulation and stimulates blood circulation.

MAINTENANCE

The bike is adjusted and lubricated at the factory. It is not recommended that the user should attempt to carry out any work on the internal components, but should contact  the service department. However, from time to time the external surfaces may appear dirty, follow the instructions given to preserve their original condition.

• The bike can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents, sprays, aerosols or pumps as these will leave wax residue on the  surface of the screen.
• From time to time, the screen surface will have finger marks or dust on it. The use of harsh chemicals will damage its protective coating and create static energy that will  damage the components. This surface should be cleaned with special chemical preparations which are sold in computer shops and which are especially for anti-static  surfaces. We recommend the use of these products.
• The safety of the equipment is maintained if its condition, damage and wear are checked regularly.
• The bike must be moved and moved with care to avoid injury.
• The brake part is the part that wears out most easily. Before using the bike, check that the brake system is in good working order.
• Lubricate moving parts with light oil periodically to prevent premature wear.
• Check that fasteners are tightened securely.
• Carefully inspect the parts most susceptible to wear.
• Replace defective parts immediately.
• Keep the device out of operation until it is repaired.
• Please check that all safety labels are in good condition and can be read. If any are missing or damaged, contact your dealer to order new ones.
