Read all warnings posted on the
exercise bike.
Read the owner’s manual and follow it care
fully before using you Spinning Bike.
Set up and operate the Spinning bike on a
solid level surface.
Inspect the Spinning Bike for worn or loose
components prior to use. Tighten/replace
any loose or worn components prior
to using.
Don not wear loose or dangling clothing
while using the exercise bike.
Care should be taken in mounting or
dismounting the exercise bicycle.
Ensure that adjustment knobs (seat height,
seat fore-and-aft, and handlebar) are
properly secured and do not interfere with
range of motion during exercise.
Children under the age of 16 should not ride
the Spinner bike. The cycle mechanism and
ergonomics are designed for adult use only.
Do not insert any object, hands or feet into
any openings, or expose hands, arms or feet
to the drive mechanism or other potentially
moving part of the bike.
The maximum weight for individuals riding
the Spinner bike should not exceed 350
pounds.
Spinner bikes have a weighted flywheel
and a fixed gear. This means that in order
to stop, you must gradually slow your pedal
strokes rather than stopping abruptly. If you
do need to stop immediately, push down on
the resistance knob. Do not dismount the
bike or remove your feet from the pedals
until both the pedals and the flywheel have
stopped completely. Failure to comply may
lead to loss of control and serious injury. After exercising, turn the Push Brake System
knob to increase resistance so the pedals
will not rotate freely and potentially injure
someone.
If at any time you feel dizzy or have difficulty
breathing, gradually stop pedaling and
carefully dismount the bike.
Listen to your body, ride at your own pace
and set your bike’s resistance at the level
that feels right for you.
Keep children and pets away from the bike
whenever it's in use.
Never turn the pedal crank arms by hand.
Stay hydrated. Drink water throughout
your ride as needed.
Always keep some resistance on the
flywheel.
Stay in control by executing all core
movements and hand positions at a slow
pace before attempting to increase your
speed. Do not attempt to ride the bike in a
standing position at a high RPM until you
have practiced at slower speeds.
Focus on form, posture and making smooth
transitions between movements.
Do not use the bike without proper footwear.
Never operate the bike with bare feet.
Never remove your feet from the pedals
while still in motion. Prevent your feet from
coming out of the toe clip or shoe cage by
keeping shoe laces tucked in and foot
straps pulled snug around your shoe. If your
foot does become disen gaged, push down
on the resistance knob to stop the flywheel’s
motion.
