7. The bike is intended for use in training areas of
organizations where access and control are specifically
regulated by a person responsible for determining the
suitability of use and maintenance.
8. Wear proper shoes. Dress shoes, sandals, slippers, or
bare feet are not suitable for use on the bike. Quality
athletic shoes are recommended for proper support
and comfort. Do not wear clothing that might catch on
any moving parts. Tie long hair back.
9. Distractions, such as watching television, reading, using
a computer device, or talking on the telephone while
using the bike affect the ability of the user to safely
exercise on the bike. Pay attention to and focus on your
exercise while using the bike.
10. Routinely check and pay special attention to components
most susceptible to wear. Refer to the “Preventative
Maintenance Schedule” (page 22) for further instruction.
11. Immediately replace damaged, worn, or broken parts and
do not use the bike until all repairs have been completed
and tested by a Keiser-certified technician.
12. Only use replacement parts recommended by Keiser
Corporation. Attempting to repair or replace any
damaged, worn, or broken parts on your own is not
recommended. A Keiser certified technician should be
consulted.
13. Proper posture and body position is necessary to achieve
a safe, comfortable, and effective workout. Correct foot
placement and arm reach must always be maintained
during every workout. Refer to the sections under “How
to Exercise on the Bike” (page 19) for further instruction
and safety information.
14.
The cycle is not designed with a freewheel, but a fixed
gear system. When the flywheel is in motion, the pedals
will also be in motion. For this reason, never remove your
feet from the Pedals while the Flywheel is in motion as
serious user injury may occur.
15. Always secure your feet on the Pedals with the clip-in
system or the Pedal Cage before your workout.
16. It is recommended that the bike be pedaled in the forward
direction.
17. The Resistance Lever also functions as an Emergency
Brake, allowing you to safely slow or stop the motion of
the Flywheel. Move the Resistance Lever forward to slow
the motion of the Flywheel. Move the Resistance Lever
to the most forward position to engage the Emergency
Brake.
18. Do not make adjustments during exercise. Use the Pedals
or the Resistance Lever to slowly bring the Flywheel to
a controlled stop prior to making adjustments.
19. Before dismounting the bike, push the Resistance Lever
to the most forward position to engage the Emergency
Brake. Wait until the Pedals come to a complete stop
before dismounting.
20. Pedaling at high speeds or in the reverse direction
or pedaling while standing are considered advanced
techniques and should only be performed when the user
has reached an advanced level or under supervision by
a person that has reached an advanced level.
21. The bike is not a toy. Children shall not play with the
bike. Children under 14 years old should not use the bike.
Keep children and pets clear from the bike at all times,
especially while in use. Cleaning and user maintenance
shall not be performed by children.
22. The bike can be used by children age 14 years and above.
Persons with mental disabilities, reduced physical,
mental, or sensory capabilities, or lack of experience
or knowledge should not use the bike without constant
supervision by a spotter/supervisor.

areas of extreme temperature and humidity, or where
the bike may be splashed with water or fluids. The bike

24 inches (610 mm) on all sides. Refer to the “Training
Space” section (page 6) for further placement direction.

To ensure your safety and to help prevent damage to
the bike, read all instructions before operating. Seek
professional installation technicians if you are not able to
safely perform the work necessary to unpack, assemble,
and set the bike in a desired exercise location.
26.
Failure to perform the “Proper Operation Check” (page 14)
prior to normal use of the bike will void your warranty and
could result in serious injury.
27. The use of any exercise equipment, including, without
limitation, Keiser’s strength training equipment in which
