Sit with one leg straight. Bring the other leg in so that it is snug on the inside of the straightened leg. Try to touch your feet with your hand’s toe. Hold for 10-15 seconds, then relax.
Repeat 3 times for each leg (see Figure 2).

Troubleshooting
|
Problem |
Possible Solution |
|
How to adjust gear? |
Turn the knob clockwise to increase resistance and counterclockwise to decrease resistance. The resistance of the bicycle is adjustable with infinitely variable speed and multiple gears. |
|
What to do when the handle shakes slightly? |
Check whether the connecting screws of the handle and the front column tube are firmly fixed. |
| Check if the retaining knob is locked. | |
|
What to do when the machine shakes during use? |
Check whether the front and rear foot tubes are fastened enough. |
|
What to do when pedals loose? |
Following the setup instruction, to check whether the left and right pedals are locked on the first step. |
| Following the setup instruction, to check whether the inner fixing nut of the second stage of setting up the pedal is locked. | |
|
Why there is abnormal noise when riding with maximum resistance? |
When riding with maximum resistance, the contact between the brake block and the wheel will produce abnormal noise. Turn the resistance knob one or two turns counterclockwise will eliminate the abnormal noise. Our engineers would not recommend customers to use the bike at maximum resistance for a long time. |
|
What to do when the whole machine is slightly tilted? |
Check whether the four adjusting foot pads at the bottom of the front and rear foot tubes are on the same plane. |
| Adjust and rotate the raised foot pads parallel to the floor. |
