Operating Instructions

Adjusting Resistance

The FitDesk Under Desk Bike features 8 levels of magnetic resistance. To adjust the tension, use the foot shifter located on the front of the unit. This allows for hands-free adjustment, enabling you to change resistance levels without interrupting your activity.

Using the Digital Performance Meter

The digital performance meter tracks various exercise metrics and can be placed on its included desk stand for easy viewing.

• Functions: The display cycles through Time (minutes:seconds), Speed (estimated meters/second), Distance (kilometers with 2 decimal accuracy), Odometer (total kilometers), and Calories burned.
• Mode Button: Press the 'Mode' button once to stop the automatic scanning and hold the display on the current metric. Press 'Mode' again to resume scanning.
• Reset Button: The 'Reset' button will clear the currently displayed value to zero, but only when the monitor is not in 'Scan' mode.
• Set Button: The 'Set' button allows you to set a target time or distance. When activated, the display will count down from your set value. Once zero is reached, it will revert to counting up. In Time mode, it increments in one-minute intervals. In Distance mode, it increments by 0.1 km. To reduce a set value, you must reset it to zero and then increment it again.
• Odometer (ODO): The odometer tracks total distance and cannot be reset using the buttons. To clear the odometer, remove the AAA battery, wait a few seconds, and then reinsert it. This will reset all values to zero.
• Auto Shut-off: The display will automatically turn off after approximately 10 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life. It retains your progress until the battery is removed.

Pedaling

Engage in a fluid forward or backward pedaling motion. The ergonomically designed pedals accommodate various foot sizes and provide comfort during use. The low pedal rotation height ensures compatibility with most desks, allowing your knees to clear the underside of the desk.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your FitDesk Under Desk Bike Pedal Machine.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the unit with a damp cloth after use. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a silicone spray or light oil (e.g., WD-40, 3-in-1 oil) to the rotating joints and the wheel deck (the black metal part where the wheels glide) to maintain smooth and quiet operation.
• Tightening: Check all bolts and fasteners regularly and tighten them as needed. Over time, components may loosen with use.
• Battery Replacement: The digital performance meter requires one AAA battery. Replace the battery when the display becomes dim or unresponsive.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your FitDesk Under Desk Bike Pedal Machine, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Noise/Squeaking: If the unit becomes noisy or squeaks during use, it likely requires lubrication. Apply silicone spray or light oil to all rotating joints and the wheel deck. Pedaling in reverse for a short period may also help distribute lubricant. Ensure all bolts are tightened.
• Unit Movement: If the machine tends to slide or travel on smooth floors during use, place it on a non-slip mat or carpet.
• Digital Meter Not Displaying: Check if the AAA battery is correctly installed and has sufficient charge. Replace the battery if necessary. Ensure the sensor cable connection to the main unit is secure.
• Inaccurate Readings: While the meter provides estimates, ensure the sensor cable is properly connected. For odometer reset, refer to the 'Operating Instructions' section.
• Pedals Feel Loose: Check the bolts securing the pedals to the crank arms and tighten them firmly. The current design uses bolts for secure attachment.
