WARNING:

FOR THE FIRST TIME. START PEDALING SLOWLY TO GET A FEEL FOR THE EQUIPMENT. RIDING
THE REVOLUTION FEELS A LOT LIKE RIDING ON THE ROAD, BUT TAKES A FEW MINUTES TO GET
USED TO. SHIFT THROUGH THE GEARS TO ENSURE CLEAN AND PROPER SHIFTING. IT SHOULD
NOT BE NECESSARY TO ADJUST YOUR DERAILLEUR TO WORK WITH THE REVOLUTION,
HOWEVER, SUBTLE DIFFERENCES IN BICYCLES EXIST AND MAY MAKE SHIFTING FEEL DIFFER

R
EVOLUTION
. If you are unsure about the setup of your bicycle please visit your local
bike shop prior to using it with your LeMond
R

BASIC OPERATION
With your bike safely installed on the
R
EVOLUTION
(see instructions on p.11), mount the bicycle nor-
mally and begin to pedal.
!
WARNING:
DURING YOUR FIRST USE OF THE REVOLUTION START PEDALING SLOWLY AT FIRST
TO GET A FEEL FOR THE EQUIPMENT. SHIFT THROUGH THE GEARS ON YOUR BIKE AT A SLOW
PEDALING PACE TO ENSURE OVERALL STABILITY PRIOR TO EXERTING HEAVY PEDAL FORCE.
We designed the
R
EVOLUTION
to be stable in all riding conditions, including standing up, however use
caution when pedaling standing up as the bike and trainer can tilt and become unbalanced.
Just like riding outside, pedaling resistance on the
R
EVOLUTION
is determined by how hard you pedal.
If you want to train harder–pedal harder.
!
WARNING:
IF AT ANY TIME DURING YOUR WORKOUT, YOU FEEL CHEST PAIN, EXPERIENCE
SEVERE MUSCULAR DISCOMFORT, FEEL FAINT, OR ARE SHORT OF BREATH, STOP EXERCISING
IMMEDIATELY. IF THE CONDITION PERSISTS, YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR MEDICAL DOCTOR
IMMEDIATELY.
Before dismounting, allow the
R
EVOLUTION
to spin down and stop. The trainer is not equipped with a
brake, and therefore the fan and pulley will continue to spin after pedaling has stopped.
!
WARNING:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SLOW OR STOP THE PULLEY OR FAN! ANY ATTEMPT TO SLOW
OR STOP THE TRAINER CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.
