2.3 RESISTANCE CONTROL AND EMERGENCY BRAKE
CHAPTER 2: IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
