Foot Position
Place the balls of your feet securely in the toe straps so that they are centred on the pedals.
Foot Strap
Adjust the toe straps to hold your foot firmly on the pedal, allowing you to apply force throughout every part of the pedal stroke.
·
The resistance adjustment can be set precisely and regulated in micro increments according to the requirements of the cyclist using
the resistance adjustment knob with a range of motion of 240°.
·
To increase the resistance, turn the resistance adjustment knob clockwise. To decrease the resistance, turn it counterclockwise.
For a magnetic brake system, like the one fitted to this 550GC, the magnetic resistive effect also increases with pedalling
frequency.
·
Never pedal backwards under resistance, as this can loosen the screws between the pedals and the crank arm and the two may even
become detached. To stop the flywheel during use, the resistance knob/emergency brake knob must be pressed down. During
training, please make sure your shoes are placed in the toe clips (cages) provided or if you are using cycling shoes, that they are
connected with the SPD cleats
· 550GC does not have a free—moving flywheel. The flywheel is firmly connected to the pedals and does not stop independently if
the user stops pedalling. Please always check your movements and reduce speed in a controlled manner to stop or simply press the
red resistance/emergency brake knob down to quickly slow down the movement and in so doing bring the flywheel to a stop and
suspend the training session.
· Emergency brake = press down red resistance/emergency knob.
· If the emergency brake has been activated, it may only be disengaged again once the flywheel has come to a complete standstill and
the pressure has been removed from the pedals.
