BEFORE YOU BEGIN

LOCATION OF THE EQUIPMENT

Place the equipment on a level and stable surface away from direct sunlight. The intense UV light can cause discoloration on the plastics. Locate your equipment in an area with cool temperatures and low humidity. Please leave a clear zone on all sides of the equipment that is at least 60 cm (2 ft). This zone must be clear of any obstruction and provide the user a clear exit path from the machine. Do not place the equipment in any area that will block any vent or air openings. The equipment should not be located in a garage, covered patio, near water or outdoors.

MOVING THE EQUIPMENT

Your equipment has a pair of transport wheels built into the front stabilizer tube. To move, firmly grasp the steel portion of the rear stabilizer tube, carefully lift and roll on the transport wheels. Remove the power supply before attempting to move the bike.

WARNING!

Our equipments are heavy, use care and additional help if necessary when moving. Failure to follow these instructions could result in injury.

LEVELING THE EQUIPMENT

It is extremely important that the levelers are correctly adjusted for proper operation. Turn leveling foot clockwise to lower and counter-clockwise to raise unit. Adjust each side as needed until the equipment is level. An unbalanced unit may cause belt misalignment or other issues. Use of a level is recommended.

PROPER USAGE

1. Sit on the cycle facing the handlebars. Both feet should be on the floor one on each side of the frame.
2. To determine proper seat position, sit on the seat and position both feet on the pedals. Your knee should bend slightly at the furthest pedal position. You should be able to pedal without locking your knees or shifting your weight from side to side.
3. Adjust pedal straps to desired tightness.
4. To get off of the cycle, follow the proper usage steps in reverse.

HOW TO ADJUST THE INDOOR CYCLE

The indoor cycle can be adjusted for maximum comfort and exercise effectiveness. The instructions below describe one approach to adjusting the indoor cycle to ensure optimal user comfort and ideal body positioning; you may choose to adjust the indoor cycle differently.

SADDLE ADJUSTMENT

Proper saddle height helps ensure maximum exercise efficiency and comfort, while reducing the risk of injury. Adjust the saddle height to make sure it's in proper position, one that keeps a slight bend in your knee while your legs are in the extended position

HANDLEBAR ADJUSTMENT

Proper position for the handlebar is based primarily on comfort. Typically, the handlebar should be positioned slightly higher than the saddle for beginning cyclists. Advanced cyclists could try different heights to get the arrangement most suitable for them.

A) SADDLE HORIZONTAL POSITION Turn the adjustment knob counterclockwise while sliding the saddle forward or backward as desired. Turn the adjustment knob clockwise to lock saddle position. Test the saddle slide for proper operation.
B) SADDLE HEIGHT Turn the adjustment knob counterclockwise while sliding the saddle up and down with the other hand. Turn the adjustment knob clockwise to lock saddle position.
C) HANDLEBAR HEIGHT Turn the adjustment knob counterclockwise while raising or lowering the handlebar with the other hand. Turn the adjustment knob clockwise to lock handlebar position.
D) PEDAL STRAPS Place the ball of the foot into the toe cage until the ball of the foot is centered over the pedal, reach down and pull the pedal strap up to tighten prior to use. To remove your foot from the toe cage, loosen the strap and pull out.

The resistance lever is located in front of the handlebars and provides 11 levels of pedaling resistance. To increase the resistance, push the tension control lever towards the ground. To decrease the resistance, push the lever upwards.

IMPORTANT:

• To stop the flywheel while pedaling, push down hard on the lever.
  • The flywheel should quickly come to a complete stop.
• Make sure your shoes are fixed into the toe clip or pedal straps.
• Apply full resistance load when the bike is not in use to prevent injuries from moving drive gear components.

WARNING

The indoor cycle does not have a free moving flywheel; the pedals will continue to move together with the flywheel until the flywheel stops. Reducing speed in a controlled manner is required. To stop the flywheel immediately, push down the yellow emergency brake lever. Always pedal in a controlled manner and adjust your desired cadence according to your own abilities. Push the yellow lever down = emergency stop.

The indoor cycle uses a fixed flywheel that builds momentum and will keep the pedals turning even after the user stops pedaling or if the user's feet slip off. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE YOUR FEET FROM THE PEDALS OR DISMOUNT THE MACHINE UNTIL BOTH THE PEDALS AND THE FLYWHEEL HAVE COMPLETELY STOPPED. Failure to follow these instructions may lead to loss of control and the potential for serious injury.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

If you are not getting workout readings while using the optional console or a third party app, you may need to change the battery (AA).

TROUBLESHOOTING

COMMON PRODUCT QUESTIONS

ARE THE SOUNDS MY EXERCISE BIKE MAKES NORMAL?

Our exercise bikes are some of the quietest available because they use belt drives and friction free magnetic resistance. We use the highest grade bearings and belts to minimize noise. However, because the resistance system itself is so quiet, you will occasionally hear other slight mechanical noises. Unlike older, louder technologies, there are no fans, friction belts, or alternator noises to mask these sounds on our exercise bikes. These mechanical noises, which may or may not be intermittent, are normal and are caused by the transfer of significant amounts of energy to a rapidly spinning flywheel. All bearings, belts and other rotating parts will generate some noise which will transmit through the casing and frame. It is also normal for these sounds to change slightly during a workout and over time because of thermal expansion of the parts.

WHY IS THE EXERCISE BIKE I HAD DELIVERED LOUDER THAN THE ONE AT THE STORE?

All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is generally more background noise than in your home. Also, there will be less reverberation on a carpeted concrete floor than on a wood overlay floor. Sometimes a heavy rubber mat will help reduce reverberation through the floor. If a fitness product is placed close to a wall, there will be more reflected noise.

PROBLEM: The exercise bike makes a squeaking or chirping noise

Verify the following:

1) The exercise bike is on a level surface
2) Loosen all bolts attached during the assembly process, grease the threads, and tighten again

PROBLEM: Seat or handlebar post move after locked into position

• Make sure the adjustment knob is tightened

PROBLEM: Clicking noise with each pedal revolution

1) Check shoelaces to make sure the aglet is not tapping the bike as the pedals turn
2) Assure pedal straps are tight and that no excess strap on inner part of pedal is catching on the crank arm as it turns
3) Assure that pedals are tight on crank arms

PROBLEM: Clicking noise when flywheel rotates

1) Ensure nothing is touching flywheel
2) Check for noisy flywheel bearings
3) If flywheel bearings are noisy or rough have authorized service technician replace flywheel hub assembly

PROBLEM: Knocking noise or play felt in pedals/cranks

1) Make sure pedals are tight on crank arms
2) Make sure crank bolts are tight. If loose, apply blue loctite 242 to threads and tighten crank
3) If problem persists check the bottom bracket for looseness
4) If bottom bracket is loose contact authorized service technician for replacement of bottom bracket bearings

PROBLEM: Rocking or movement while in use

1) Using a hex wrench, check the attachment bolts on the front and rear stabilizers and make sure they are tight
2) Assure the bike is level by checking the leveling feet on the bottom of the front and rear stabilizers

MAINTENANCE

WHAT KIND OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED?

Minimal maintenance and cleaning is required. Adhering to this schedule will extend the life of your machine.

We use sealed bearings throughout our bikes so lubrication is not needed. The most important maintenance step is to simply wipe your perspiration off the bike after each use.

HOW DO I CLEAN MY BIKE?

Clean with mild soap and water cleaners only. Never use solvents on plastic parts. Cleanliness of your bike and its operating environment will keep maintenance problems and service calls to a minimum. For this reason, we recommend that the following preventive maintenance schedule be followed.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

ACTION FREQUENCY
Clean the indoor cycle using soft cloths or paper towels or other Matrix approved solution (cleaning agents should be alcohol and ammonia free). Disinfect the saddle and handlebars and wipe off all bodily residues.	AFTER EACH USE
Make sure that the indoor cycle is level and does not rock Ensure that the pedals are tight in crank arms and not crossthreaded, all screws on pedals are tight, and pedal straps are not frayed.	BEFORE EACH USE
Clean entire machine using water and a mild soap or other Matrix approved solution (cleaning agents should be alcohol and ammonia free). Clean all exterior parts, the steel frame, front and rear stabilizers, seat and handlebars.	WEEKLY
Test the emergency brake to make sure it is functioning properly. To do this, press down the red emergency brake lever while pedaling. When functioning properly, it should immediately slow down the flywheel until it comes to a complete stop.	BI-WEEKLY
Inspect all assembly bolts and pedals on the machine for proper tightness.	MONTHLY
