u

Read all warnings posted on the 
exercise bike.

u

Read the owner’s manual and follow it care
fully before using you Spinning Bike. 

u

Set up and operate the Spinning bike on a 
solid level surface.

u

Inspect the Spinning Bike for worn or loose 
components prior to use. Tighten/replace 
any loose or worn components prior 
to using. 

u

Don not wear loose or dangling clothing 
while using the exercise bike.

u

Care should be taken in mounting or 
dismounting the exercise bicycle.

u

Ensure that adjustment knobs (seat height, 
seat fore-and-aft, and handlebar) are 
properly secured and do not interfere with 
range of motion during exercise. 

u

Children under the age of 16 should not ride 
the Spinner bike. The cycle mechanism and 
ergonomics are designed for adult use only. 

u

Do not insert any object, hands or feet into 
any openings, or expose hands, arms or feet
to the drive mechanism or other potentially 
moving part of the bike. 

u

The maximum weight for individuals riding 
the Spinner bike should not exceed 350 
pounds. 

u

Spinner bikes have a weighted flywheel 
and a fixed gear. This means that in order 
to stop, you must gradually slow your pedal 
strokes rather than stopping abruptly. If you 
do need to stop immediately, push down on 
the resistance knob. Do not dismount the 
bike or remove your feet from the pedals 
until both the pedals and the flywheel have 
stopped completely. Failure to comply may 
lead to loss of control and serious injury. 

u

After exercising, turn the Push Brake System
knob to increase resistance so the pedals 
will not rotate freely and potentially injure 
someone. 

u

If at any time you feel dizzy or have difficulty 
breathing, gradually stop pedaling and 
carefully dismount the bike. 

u

Listen to your body, ride at your own pace 
and set your bike’s resistance at the level 
that feels right for you.

u

Keep children and pets away from the bike 
whenever it's in use.  

u

Never turn the pedal crank arms by hand.

u

Stay hydrated. Drink water throughout 
your ride as needed. 

u

Always keep some resistance on the

flywheel. 

u

Stay in control by executing all core 
movements and hand positions at a slow 
pace before attempting to increase your 
speed. Do not attempt to ride the bike in a 
standing position at a high RPM until you 
have practiced at slower speeds. 

u

Focus on form, posture and making smooth 
transitions between movements.

u

Do not use the bike without proper footwear.
Never operate the bike with bare feet.

u

Never remove your feet from the pedals 
while still in motion. Prevent your feet from 
coming out of the toe clip or shoe cage by 
keeping shoe laces tucked in and foot 
straps pulled snug around your shoe. If your 
foot does become disen gaged, push down 
on the resistance knob to stop the flywheel’s
motion.
