2. Install the Pedals
This is a crucial step for proper function and to prevent pedals from falling off during use. Note that the left pedal has a reverse thread and the right pedal has a standard thread. Always refer to the 'L' and 'R' markings on the pedals and crank arms, and rotate in the direction of the arrow indicated on the pedal for tightening.
- Identify the 'L' (Left) and 'R' (Right) markings on both the pedals and the crank arms.
- For the right pedal (R), thread it clockwise by hand until it is snug.
- For the left pedal (L), thread it counterclockwise by hand until it is snug.
- Use the provided spanner to fully tighten both pedals. Ensure they are securely fastened to prevent loosening during exercise.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your himaly Mini Exercise Bike, regular maintenance is recommended:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the unit with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
- Tighten Connections: Periodically check all bolts and screws, especially those on the pedals and stabilizer bars, and tighten them if necessary. This prevents wobbling and ensures safe operation.
- Storage: Store the bike in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use. Its compact size allows for easy storage under a desk or in a closet.
Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:
Pedals Loosening or Falling Off
This is typically caused by incorrect pedal installation. Remember that the left pedal has a reverse (counter-clockwise) thread and the right pedal has a standard (clockwise) thread. Ensure both are tightened securely in the correct direction using the provided spanner. Refer to the "Install the Pedals" section under Setup for detailed instructions and visual guides.
Bike Slides During Use
The himaly Mini Exercise Bike comes with a non-slip mat. Place this mat underneath the bike to prevent it from sliding on smooth floors. Additionally, you can use the provided fixing strap to secure the bike to a stable object like a chair leg or desk leg.
