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. Typically, exercising at a slower pace generates a lower resistance from
the flywheel, enabling a cardiovascular endurance workout that can be sustained for extended periods of time. Higher pace exercise
involving faster pedaling and more forceful pushing / pulling on the movement arms creates a greater resistance level that will deliver a
greater muscle endurance or anaerobic workout. Anaerobic exercise and High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) are much more strenuous
forms of exercise that should only be undertaken by users that have established a baseline fitness level capable of adapting to this form
of exercise. Users are also encouraged to discuss their health program or fitness regimen with their healthcare professional.
Additionally, the bike can be operated with only the use of the movement arms for an upper-body-only workout. The front foot platforms,
located on either side of the flywheel are to be used when exercising only with the movement arms. Position feet securely on these
platforms while pushing / pulling on the movement arms.
NOTE: that the pedals will continue to rotate when the bike is used with the movement arms only. Be certain to maintain feet on the front
foot platforms when exercising with the movement arms only so that feet stay clear of the rotating pedals.
Seat Adjustments
Proper bike setup gives you a more comfortable ride and reduces your risk of injury.
To adjust the seat height:
Dismount the bike. Pull out on the seat height pop-pin to release it from its current preset location, while holding the seat with one hand.
Raise or lower the seat to the desired height, then gently release the pop-pin. Raise or lower the seat slightly, if necessary, until the
pop-pin engages a preset hole. The seat adjustment mechanism for the bike is designed to ratchet upwards without the need to pull out
on the pop-pin, if desired seat height is known then this is an easy method to adjust the seat. Note that the ratcheting method only
works when raising the seat height. In order to lower the seat height, pulling out on the pop-pin is required.
SEAT HEIGHT
At the proper height, there should be a slight bend in your knee when you’re at the bottom of a pedal stroke.
FORE/AFT POSITION
Once the proper height has been achieved, adjust the seat forward or back so that when the feet are in the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock
positions, the forward knee is directly over the pedal axle. Recheck the seat height again after making the fore/aft adjustment, as
moving the seat forward and backward can have the same effect as moving it higher or lower.
