SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS _
INSTRUCTIONS
The following fitness safeguards and operating precautions are directed to purchasers and users of Spinner
®
indoor cycling bikes. Club
Managers should ensure that members and fitness staff are trained to follow these same instructions. Failure to follow these safeguards
may result in injury or serious health risk.
v Ensure that adjustment knobs (seat height, seat fore-and-aft, and handlebar) are properly secured and do not interfere with range of motion
during exercise.
v Children under the age of 16 should not ride the Spinner bike. The bike mechanism and ergonomics are designed for adult use only.
v Do not insert any object, hands or feet into any openings, or expose hands, arms or feet to the drive mechanism or other potentially moving
part of the bike.
v The maximum weight for individuals riding the Spinner bike should not exceed 350 pounds (159 kilograms).
v Spinner bikes have a weighted flywheel and a fixed gear. This means that in order to stop, you must gradually slow your pedal strokes rather
than stopping abruptly. If you do need to stop immediately, push down on the resistance knob. Do not dismount the bike or remove your feet
from the pedals until both the pedals and the flywheel have stopped completely. Failure to comply may lead to loss of control and serious
injury.
v After exercising, turn the resistance knob to increase resistance so the pedals will not rotate freely and potentially injure someone.
v If at any time you feel dizzy or have difficulty breathing, gradually stop pedaling and carefully dismount the bike.
v Listen to your body, ride at your own pace and set your bike’s resistance at the level that feels right for you.
v Keep children and pets away from the bike whenever it's in use.
v Never turn the pedal crank arms by hand. Stay hydrated. Drink water throughout your ride as needed.
v Always keep some resistance on the flywheel.
v Stay in control by executing all core movements and hand positions at a slow pace before attempting to increase your speed. Do not attempt
to ride the bike in a standing position at a high RPM until you have practiced at slower speeds.
v Focus on form, posture and making smooth transitions between movements.
v Do not use the bike without proper footwear. Never operate the bike with bare feet.
v Never remove your feet from the pedals while still in motion. Prevent your feet from coming out of the toe clip or shoe cage by keeping shoe
laces tucked in and foot straps pulled snug around your shoe. If your foot does become disengaged, push down on the resistance knob to stop
the flywheel’s motion.
