Instructions on Product Usage

Adjustment method of cushion

Up and down adjustment method

Turn the cushion column knob with one hand, loosen it slightly and pull outward. Grab the cushion with the other hand, and pull it up (or down). Slightly move the saddle column up and down after adjusting to the desired position. Loosen the spring to restore it to its original position (the knob is already in the hold of the cushion column when you hear a "clicking" sound), and then retighten the knob.

Front and rear adjustment method

Loosen the knob at the bottom of the saddle and slide the saddle back and forth. Tighten the knob after adjusting to the desired position.

Adjustment of handrail height

A. You can adjust the handrail height according to your height.

• Rotate the pull pin, loosen it and put it outward to move the handrail column up and down (Figure A).
• After adjusting to the appropriate height, align the pull pin and the hole of the handrail column, and tighten it by turning clockwise (Figure B).

B. If the handle lever can not be moved up and down smoothly, you can apply lubricating oil. Please note that your hands may get dirty if you touch them directly.

Note: When adjusting, do not exceed the "STOP" mark at the minimum insertion depth.

Diagram Description: Figure A shows the handrail column being adjusted upwards or downwards by manipulating a pull pin. Figure B shows the pull pin aligned with a hole and being tightened to secure the height.

Adjustment of foot pad

In order to achieve a smooth and comfortable ride, you must ensure that the spinning bike is stable and safe. If you find that the spinning bike is unstable during use, you should adjust the adjustment foot pads on the front and rear leg tubes until the spinning bike and the bottom surface reach a stable state.

Diagram Description: A diagram illustrating the adjustment of the leveling feet at the base of the exercise bike's leg tubes to ensure stability.

Emergency stop and use method of brakes

1. About emergency stop

The flywheel and the pedal are linked. If the flywheel does not stop rotating, the pedals will not stop rotating. It is dangerous to leave the pedals while they are rotating or to take your foot off the pedals immediately. If you need to stop the pedals in an emergency, please press the brake knob downward until the motorized bike stops.

2. How to use brakes

To slow down after reaching a certain movement speed, place your hand on the knob and push it down to gradually add resistance to the wheels and finally stop the bike.

Diagram Description: A diagram showing the brake knob on the exercise bike. An arrow indicates pressing the knob downwards for emergency stop or gradual braking.

Machine handling instructions

1. When moving the product, hold the front of the handle and push down so that the moving wheels of the forefoot tube completely touch the ground.

2. For women and the elderly, it is easier to hold the front leg tube with your feet and press down on the front of the steering wheel. After lifting up, the movement becomes simple. The method is the same when putting it down; first fix the front leg tube with your feet before putting it down.

Diagram Description: Diagrams illustrate how to move the exercise bike by tilting it onto its front wheels.

2. Seated hamstring stretch

   Sit with one leg straight. Bring the other leg in so that it is snug on the inside of the straightened leg. Try to touch your feet with your hand's toe. Hold for 10-15 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg (see Figure 2).

3. Calf and Achilles tendon stretch

   Stand with both hands against the wall or a tree, put one foot behind another. Keep the back leg straight and your heel on the ground, lean toward a wall or a tree. Hold for 10-15 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg (see Figure 3).

4. Quadriceps stretch

   Reach back with your right hand, grab your right foot and slowly pull it toward your hips until you feel the muscles in the front of your thigh tense. Hold for 10-15 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg (see Figure 4).

5. Sartorius (inner thigh muscle) stretch

   Sit with your feet facing each other and your knees facing out. Grab your feet with both hands and pull toward your groin. Hold for 10-15 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times (see Figure 5).
