This trainer is intended for single-rider bicycles only. Read and follow all instructions. Before beginning each workout, be sure bicycle is securely attached to the trainer. During use, resistance unit can become hot enough to cause burns. Do not touch resistance unit during or after use, until it has had sufficient time to cool. • Keep children and pets away from the trainer during use. • Consult a physician before beginning any exercise program.

WARNING Read and follow all instructions concerning installation of bicycle on trainer. Failure to use supplied quick release skewer or to securely attach bicycle to trainer could result in the bicycle falling, causing injury to rider or bystanders.
ASSEMBLY: (Note: In this manual, "Left" and "Right" are
from the perspective of a rider seated on the bicycle.)
1. Remove the trainer frame, resistance unit and all parts from the box. Open the frame and set it on a flat, stable surface. 2. Use the included 5mm hex wrench to remove the bolt, washers and nut (J) from the frame (A). See Figure 1. 3. Attach the base plate (C) to the frame (A). Depress the two buttons at the end of the base plate with your fingers and align them with the holes in the tabs on the trainer frame. See Figure 2 and 3. Then reinstall the bolt, washer and nut (J) and tighten. See Figure 4.
5. For wheels with a diameter larger than 28”, you should also replace the plastic plugs in the front legs of the trainer frame to reduce the open angle of the frame. This requires removing the front legs from the trainer frame. a. Remove the nut cover, nut, bolt and washer (K) from each leg and remove the legs from the frame. See Figure 7 and 8. b. Use a small flat blade screwdriver to remove the plastic end cap (L) from the end of each leg and install the included end caps in their place using a rubber mallet if necessary. See Figure 9 and 10. c. Align the legs with the frame and reinstall the bolts, washers, nuts and nut covers (K).
4. Use the included 5mm hex wrench to attach the resistance unit (B) to the base plate (C) using two bolts and washers (I). See Figure 5 and 6. There are two sets of mounting holes in the base plate to accommodate different wheel sizes. Use the appropriate set of mounting holes for your wheel size.

2. Fluid resistance provides smooth, naturally progressive resistance that varies according to your wheel speed. You can use your bicycle’s gearing the same way you would on the road---lower gearing will generate less resistance (suitable for a warm-up or light recovery riding) while higher gearing will generate more resistance and a more intense workout.
Fig 16
3. To make your indoor workout as quiet as possible, set the trainer on a trainer mat and use a rear tire with a smooth tread pattern.
5. If the axle support cup begins pressing against the QR skewer nut too soon (see Figure 16), open the lever handle (D) and thread the right side axle support cup (H) further into the frame by turning it clockwise. See Figure 17.
Fig 7
4. Riding on an indoor trainer may cause your rear tire to wear more quickly than riding on the road. To minimize tire wear, avoid letting the tire slip against the roller. Apply power evenly when accelerating, and pedal with a smooth stroke. DO NOT apply the rear brake while using the trainer. Use a smooth tread tire that is at least 23mm wide and maintain the maximum recommended inflation pressure for your tire.
Fig 12
7. Once the extension length of the right side axle support cup is adjusted correctly, lift the bicycle into position again, fitting the QR skewer lever into the left side axle support cup (make sure the cup is still oriented with the notch at the top to accommodate the QR skewer lever—see Figure 14).

5. If the rear tire continues to slip on the roller, flip the red load lever (E) to the OPEN position. Turn the resistance unit control knob (F) counterclockwise to apply additional pressure to the rear tire and then flip the load lever to the CLOSE position.

BICYCLE REMOVAL:

1. Flip the red load lever (E) on the resistance unit to the OPEN position.

9. Check that the bicycle is securely attached to the trainer by pushing or pulling on the bicycle’s top tube or seat. If the bicycle is not secure, check to see that the QR skewer lever and nut are properly positioned in the axle support cups and that the lever handle is in the fully closed position. 10. Check the position of the rear wheel on the resistance unit roller. While it is not necessary for the rear tire to be perfectly centered on the roller, you may encounter a clearance issue between the tire and resistance unit if the wheel is not centered, particularly when using wider tires. See Figure 20. To center the wheel on the roller, loosen the resistance unit attachment bolts (I), slide the resistance unit left or right as necessary, and re-tighten the bolts. See Figure 21.

Make sure resistance unit cable is clear of all moving parts.

4. Close the lever handle (D), making sure that the right side axle support cup (H) begins pressing against the QR skewer nut within the 55 to 65 degree working range of the handle as shown in Figure 15.
8. Close the lever handle (D) with the palm of your hand so that the right side axle support cup (H) presses against the QR skewer nut, clamping the bicycle in place. Make sure the QR skewer lever and QR skewer nut are fully seated in the axle support cups.
Fig 4
CAUTION
3. Lift the bicycle into position and fit the QR lever on the left side of the wheel into the left axle support cup (G). See Figure 13. Orient the axle support cup so the notch in the cup is at the top and aligned with the lever. See Figure 14.
6. If the axle support cup does not begin pressing against the QR skewer nut soon enough (see Figure 18), open the lever handle (D) and thread the right side axle support cup (H) further out of the frame by turning it counterclockwise. See Figure 19.

1. Make sure the red load lever (E) on the resistance unit is in the OPEN position. See Figure 22. Then turn the resistance unit control knob (F) counterclockwise until the resistance unit roller contacts the tire. Once the resistance unit roller contacts the tire, flip the load lever (E) to the CLOSE position. See Figure 23.

2. Set the trainer on a flat, stable surface and open the lever handle (D). See Figure 12.

USING YOUR TRAINER:
Fig 10 26”/650c/27”/700c
1. Replace the bicycle’s rear wheel quick release (QR) skewer with the one provided (M) with the trainer. Orient the QR skewer lever so it is horizontal and pointed toward the rear of the bike. See Figure 11. See bicycle owner’s manual for instructions on how to properly adjust the QR skewer. Make sure the QR skewer is tight and not damaged or bent.

3. The QR skewer provided with the trainer can be used when riding the bicycle off the trainer as well. If you choose to reinstall your bicycle’s original skewer, refer to your bicycle owner’s manual for instructions on properly adjusting the skewer. Before riding, ensure the quick release skewer is tight. 55 ₒ ̶ 65ₒ
