ADJUSTMENT LEVERS
The M Series Indoor Bikes have various adjustment levers (i.e., L-levers,
C-clamps, pull-pins) depending on the model being ridden. Regardless
of the type of lever, it is important for the instructor and rider to
familiarize himself or herself with each of the tightening mechanisms
on the bike. Once a rider is correctly set up on the bike, double check
that all adjustment levers are snug and secured.
PULL-PIN ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM
When using a pull-pin mechanism, turn the plunger counter-clockwise
until it loosens. Pull the plunger slightly out. While holding the
plunger, raise or lower the seat or handlebars post to reach the
desired position. Re-engage the plunger ensuring that it locks into
the desired hole in the seat or handlebars post. Turn the plunger
clockwise until it is hand tight. Check the seat or handlebars post
to ensure it is secure. There should be no movement of the seat or
handlebars in any direction.
EMERGENCY BRAKE POSITION
The resistance shifter allows the rider to safely slow or stop the
motion of the flywheel. Move the resistance shifter up to increase
the gear and slow the motion of the flywheel. This method can
also be used as an emergency operation to stop the motion of the
flywheel. To use the resistance shifter as an emergency brake,
move the lever all the way up to stop all motion within one revolution.
With any braking procedure, wait until the pedals and flywheel come
to a complete stop before dismounting.
LEVELER ADJUSTMENT
The leveler foot is located on the left rear corner of the base
frame. The leveler foot can be adjusted by slightly lifting the
appropriate corner of the bike and screwing the foot clockwise
or counter-clockwise. If the bike requires leveling, rotate the foot
inwards (or counter-clockwise from a top-side view) until the bike
is resting on the three fixed feet. Next, with the bike resting on the
three fixed feet, rotate the leveler foot out (or clockwise from a top
view) until it just comes in contact with the floor. Test the bike for
stability and fine tune or adjust the leveler foot as needed.
