Secure the Front Support Tube
Once the front support tube is in place, attach the locking knob into the threaded hole on the main unit, just above the inserted tube. Turn the knob clockwise to tighten it securely, ensuring the support tube is firmly held.

Attach the Pedals
Identify the Left (L) and Right (R) pedals. The pedals are labeled at the end of their screws. The left pedal must be tightened counter-clockwise, while the right pedal tightens clockwise. Use the provided assembly tool to firmly secure each pedal to its corresponding crank arm on the main unit.

Operating Instructions
Adjusting Resistance
The Magneciser features a convenient tension control dial. Turn the resistance knob clockwise to increase the magnetic resistance, making pedaling more challenging. Turn it counter-clockwise to decrease resistance for an easier workout.

Using for Lower Body Workout
Place the Magneciser on a flat, stable surface on the floor. Sit comfortably in a chair with your feet positioned in the pedal straps. Adjust the straps for a secure fit. Begin pedaling in either direction. The bi-directional pedal rotation allows for varied muscle engagement.

Using for Upper Body Workout
Place the Magneciser on a sturdy table or desk at a comfortable height. Sit in front of the unit and grasp the pedals with your hands. Adjust the hand straps for a secure grip. Begin rotating the pedals with your arms. This provides an effective upper body workout.

Digital Display Functions
The 5-function digital display automatically tracks your workout progress:
- SPEED: Displays current pedaling speed.
- TIME: Shows the duration of your exercise session.
- CAL: Estimates calories consumed during the workout.
- DIST: Indicates the simulated distance "traveled".
- SCAN: Cycles through all functions automatically.
Press the red button on the monitor to cycle through modes or reset values. The monitor will automatically turn on when pedaling begins and turn off after a period of inactivity to conserve battery life.
