ADJUSTING (FIG. B, 1-4)
Saddle adjustment (1)
In order to train effectively, it is advisable to adjust the saddle to the
correct height. When pedalling, your knees should be slightly bent
when the pedals are in the down position.
To adjust the saddle, follow the steps below:
To adjust the seat height, turn the spring-loaded knob on the seat
post on the frame and tighten it. Position the vertical seat post at the
desired height so that the holes are aligned, release the button and
tighten firmly. To move the saddle forwards towards the handlebars
or backwards away from the handlebars, turn the adjusting knob and
ring and tighten the knob again. Slide the horizontal seat post into the
desired position. Set the pin in the holes and then tighten the adjusting
knob.
Handlebar adjustment (2)
To adjust the handlebar, follow the steps below:
Rotate the knob and secondary knob and pull both knobs. Slide the
handlebar post along the housing on the main frame to the desired
height and with the holes correctly aligned, tighten the spring button
and then the secondary button.
Resistance knob (3)
To ensure a smooth and efficient pedaling motion, the resistance is
adjusted at the factory during production.
Setting the resistance
By increasing or decreasing the tension, you can add variety to your
training sessions by adjusting the resistance of the bicycle. To increase
the tension and increase the resistance (which provides more power to
the pedal), turn the resistance knob (52) to the right. To decrease the
tension and to decrease the resistance (which gives less force to the
pedal), turn the resistance knob (52) to the left.
Piept het toestel bij het verhogen van de weerstand?
The block may have dried out, causing a squeaking sound. If so,
lubricate the felt pad a little with the supplied silicone oil.
NOTE!
It is recommended to start training at a level that suits your
own needs. Remember to start slow and gentle and work your way
up to the level that suits you.
