Locking the Flywheel for Storage
When the machine is not in use, be sure to lock the Flywheel with the Emergency Brake/Resistance Adjustment Knob. To lock the Flywheel, turn the
Emergency Brake/Resistance Adjustment Knob clockwise until it encounters an increase in resistance. Then rotate the Emergency Brake/Resistance
Adjustment Knob another 1/2 turn clockwise. The Flywheel is now locked. The flywheel should be locked for storage of the machine.
For safe storage of the machine, remove the power supply and place in a secure location. Be sure the machine is stabilized in the
upright position with the Lean Lock Knob completely pulled up (locked position). Tighten the Brake/Resistance Adjustment Knob as
described until the Flywheel is locked. Place the machine in a secure location away from children and pets.
With the Flywheel locked, the level of resistance will be out of the range of operation displayed by the Console. Do not use the machine with the level
of resistance outside of the 0% - 100% range.
This will damage the ability to quickly stop the Flywheel during an emergency, and the effectiveness of
securing the bike for storage.
Turn the Emergency Brake/Resistance Adjustment Knob until the LEVEL displayed on the Console is less than 100%.
The resistance is now in the designed range of operation for the bike.

Resistance Adjustment
To increase the resistance and workload, turn the Resistance Adjustment Knob clockwise. To reduce the resistance, turn the Resistance Adjust-
ment Knob counter-clockwise. The range of movement of the Resistance Adjustment Knob is 0% to slightly past the 100% level of resistance (locked
Flywheel). Do not turn the Resistance Adjustment Knob past the range of movement. If turned past the range of movement, damage to the machine
may occur.
