4.2 HOW TO OPERATE 

!WARNING!

 Do not operate this cycle with 2 people, equipment is 

designed for individual use. Please stay clear of moving parts and place 
both hands on the crank handles while exercising. Stop your workout in the 
event a person is within reach of moving parts.

Recommended cadence while exercising should be 60-90 RPM and the 
user should never operate without resistance applied.

RESISTANCE ADJUSTMENT

The preferred level of difficulty in Kranking (resistance) can be regulated in 
fine increments by use of the resistance knob. To increase the resistance, 
turn the resistance knob toward the “+” sign; to decrease the resistance,
turn the knob toward the “- “ sign.

 

IMPORTANT

: To stop the flywheel 

(wheel) while Kranking, turn the 
resistance knob toward the “+” sign 
until flywheel stops

!WARNING!

 The flywheel will 

continue to move even after you 
stop Kranking. Always Krank in a 
controlled manner and adjust your 
desired cadence and resistance 
according to your own abilities.  

CHANGE CRANK ARM DIRECTION

To bring cranking direction from forward or reverse, bring crank arms to top  
position, release rotation level, turn drive frame 180º and lock rotation lever 
back into place (toward the word lock) and pivot crank arms back toward user.

!WARNING! 

Make sure rotation adjustment lever is locked before you begin 

Kranking. Make sure that no components or devices block the users movement.

4.3 HOW TO MOVE 

Bend your knees and lift the rear base of the Krankcycle using the integrat-

ed grips on each side of the base. Carefully move the cycle to the desired 

location and then lower it. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, use 

extreme caution while moving the Krankcycle. Do not attempt to move it 

over uneven surfaces and make sure you allow for a minimum of 20 inches 

to the nearest equipment. When lifting the front of the unit, grab the metal 

frame only – not the plastic base.

If the Krankcycle rocks on the floor after being set down, turn the  

leveling feet (see diagram) underneath the front stabilizer until the rocking 

motion is eliminated. 

IMPORTANT

: Please do not unscrew the leveling feet more than ½ inch!

!WARNING!

 The Krankcycle should be installed on a stable base and prop-

erly leveled before use.
