RESISTANCE CONTROL / EMERGENCY BRAKE
The preferred level of difficulty in pedaling (resistance) can be regulated in fine increments by use of the
tension control lever. To increase the resistance, push the tension control lever towards the ground. To
decrease the resistance, pull up the lever upwards.
IMPORTANT:
• To stop the flywheel while pedaling, push down hard on the lever.
• The flywheel should quickly come to a complete stop.
• Make sure your shoes are fixed into the toe clip.
• Apply full resistance load when the bike is not in use to prevent injuries due to moving drive gear
components.
WARNING
The indoor cycle does not have a free moving flywheel; the pedals will continue to
move together with the flywheel until the flywheel stops. Reducing speed in a controlled
manner is required. To stop the flywheel immediately, push down the red emergency
brake lever. Always pedal in a controlled manner and adjust your desired cadence
according to your own abilities. Push the red lever down = emergency stop.
The indoor cycle uses a fixed flywheel that builds momentum and will keep the pedals
turning even after the user stops pedaling or if the user's feet slip off. DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO REMOVE YOUR FEET FROM THE PEDALS OR DISMOUNT THE MACHINE UNTIL
BOTH THE PEDALS AND THE FLYWHEEL HAVE COMPLETELY STOPPED. Failure to follow
these instructions may lead to loss of control and the potential for serious injury.
