3. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to properly install the sweat guard on your bicycle:

1. Positioning: Place the wider end of the sweat guard over your bicycle's handlebars, ensuring the ROCKBROS logo faces upwards and the mesh section is centered over the top tube.
2. Handlebar Attachment: Secure the two upper straps around your handlebars using the hook-and-loop fasteners. Ensure a snug fit to prevent slippage.
3. Seatpost Attachment: Extend the elastic strap from the narrower end of the sweat guard and loop it around your bicycle's seatpost. Adjust the buckle to achieve a firm attachment.
4. Check Clearance: Verify that the sweat guard does not interfere with your pedal stroke or any moving parts of the bicycle. The design aims to provide good clearance for pedaling.

4. Operating Guidelines

Once installed, the ROCKBROS Bike Trainer Sweat Guard functions automatically to protect your bike. Its primary role is to absorb and deflect sweat, preventing it from dripping onto sensitive bike components.

• The mesh and absorbent fabric layers work together to wick away moisture.
• The wider design ensures that sweat from your upper body, especially during intense efforts or standing climbs, is caught by the guard.

5. Maintenance and Care

Regular cleaning of your sweat guard is crucial to maintain hygiene and extend its lifespan.

• The sweat guard is washable and designed for repeated use.
• Washing Instructions: Hand wash in warm water below 40°C (104°F). Do not wring out aggressively to prevent warping.
• Drying: Air dry completely before re-installing or storing.

6. Troubleshooting

• Sweat Guard Feels Too Short: If you ride a large-sized bike frame, the overall length of the sweat guard might be tight. Ensure the elastic strap is fully extended and securely looped around the seatpost.
• Insufficient Handlebar Attachment: If the hook-and-loop fastener straps on the handlebars do not provide enough grip, try looping the strap through itself or around a different part of the handlebar for a more secure fit.
• Sweat Beading on Front Section: The upper gray fabric portion of the sweat guard is less absorbent than the mesh. If you sweat heavily and lean forward, sweat may bead on this section. Consider using a towel in conjunction with the sweat guard for additional protection in this area.
