Testing Bike Use this checklist to perform the bike test procedure. Recheck all the bolts and make sure they are all tightened to the proper torque specification (when indicated) and no parts are missing. Test the seat post to make sure they move freely and you are able to lock in at different positions. Check the seat to make sure it is level and tight and does not rotate around or tilt. Tighten and adjust as needed.
Instructions Your Turbo Trainer air bike is easy to use. There are no resistance knobs to adjust as the resistance comes from the isokenetic resistance created by the movement of air with the fan-shaped flywheel. Control over the resistance is obtained by simply varying the pace of pedaling and of the push / pull on the movement arms.
Pedal Strap Adjustment To adjust the pedal straps: The pedal straps should be adjusted to hold each foot comfortably but firmly on the pedal. Place your foot on the pedal, then adjust the pedal strap as necessary. Pull the free end of the strap down to tighten. Press the release button to loosen. Note: The pedal straps should be adjusted to hold comfortably but firmly on the pedal.
Watts Measurement The console does not directly measure or estimate watts power. But information on watts produced by cycling on the Turbo Trainer can be seen on the chart below, where RPMs generated by the flywheel are correlated to watts. Values were generated by the use of a computer controlled Dynamometer which was coupled to the crank of the Turbo Trainer. RPMs are displayed on the horizontal axis with watts displayed on the vertical axis.
TRAINING INFORMATION Before Beginning Be sure the seat, handlebar and pedal straps are properly adjusted for your body size and comfort before beginning your workout. Consult your physician before beginning this or any other exercise routine. Discontinue any exercise that causes you discomfort and consult a medical expert. Warm-Up Once you are in position and sitting on the bike with your hands in a comfortable position on the movement arms, slowly begin pedaling, while pushing / pulling on the arms.
Why Maintenance A regular preventative maintenance schedule with all fitness equipment ensures that products are working at an optimal condition without affecting the end user exercise experience. To assist in the maintenance regiment, it is recommended to break service into: Daily, Weekly, & Monthly activities. Details on each activity can be found in the “Maintenance” section of this document.
Maintenance This section provides the procedures to maintain the Turbo Trainer in serviceable condition. Moving & Leveling To move the bike to a new location: Lift the bike from the rear and use the front wheels (located on the front leg, below the handlebar) to roll the bike from one location to another. To level the bike: Use the four leveling adjusters (located on the underside of the front and rear legs) to compensate for uneven floor surfaces.
Inspection / Adjustment Inspect major moving parts that require constant proper torque. Loose or misadjusted parts can result in personal injury or damage to the bike. Check the following parts for security and/or proper torque. Pedals Verify that the pedals are re-torqued after the first 10 hours of use and every 100 hours of operation, thereafter. Use a torque wrench if components are loose. NOTE: The pedal to the crank arm bolt torque is: 33-37 lb-ft.
Frame Care ® It is recommended that the frame on the each Spin bike is sealed from sweat impurities that may speed the corrosion process at least once a month. Cleaning Using a clean terry cloth that is dampened in 30 parts water to 1 part non-abrasive detergent or car wash soap rub over the frame of the product. Wash/Dry Dampen a clean terry cloth in an only water solution to wipe away any soap residue. Using a second clean and dry terry cloth; dry off any liquid residue.
