Roller Pressure Adjustment
It is critical that the contact between the trainer roller and
your tire be maintained at all times.
Too much contact will cause damage to both your tire and
the roller.
Too little contact can lead to excessive heat build up and
cause the tire to melt.

NOTE: There are two (2) adjustments that can be
made on the Roller Pressure Adjust Knob.
The large red knob works for moving the drive roller
to engage/release to/from the tire.
The chrome plated dial which is located in front of
the red knob works for moving the whole Mag unit
forward/backward to fit the wheel size.
You must use both adjustments for the trainer to
work properly.
Turn the chrome dial counter-clockwise to move
the Mag unit forward. Stop turning when the roller
reaches the tire. (see Fig. J)
If you experience difficulty tightening the Knob, you may
lift the Mag unit up by hand.
Next, turn the red knob clockwise to compress the
tire. (see Fig. K)
Turn the knob 2 – 2.5 revolutions from the point
the roller just touches the tire.

It is important to maintain correct tire pressure
(PSI) always.
Not enough air in the tire will cause the tire to slip
on the alloy roller. Ideal PSI is around 10% more
than you would ride with on the road.
1.
Turn the chrome plated dial counter-
clockwise to forward the Mag unit.
2.
Turn the red knob clockwise to
move the roller toward the tire.
3.
Turn the red knob counter-
clockwise to release the roller
Turn the red knob counter-clockwise until it stops.
This is the starting position.
NOTE: The red knob and the chrome knob
are meant to turn in opposite directions to
achieve correct positioning.

Now you can ride on the trainer.
If you feel slippage, turn the red knob counter-
clockwise to release the roller from the tire, then
turn the chrome plated dial counter-clockwise to
move the Mag unit a little more forward.

When you remove the bike from the trainer, just loosen the red knob
until it stops.
This condition is the roller is just touching the tire that means you've
already finished Step-3. It will help you to install the bike next time.
