υDo 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.

υSpinner 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.
υAfter exercising, turn the Push Brake System knob to increase resistance so the pedals will not rotate freely and potentially injure someone.
υIf at any time you feel dizzy or have difficulty breathing, gradually stop pedaling and carefully dismount the bike.
υListen to your body, ride at your own pace and set your bike’s resistance at the level that feels right for you.
υKeep children and pets away from the bike whenever it's in use.
υNever turn the pedal crank arms by hand.
υStay hydrated. Drink water throughout your ride as needed.
υAlways keep some resistance on the flywheel.
υStay 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.
υFocus on form, posture and making smooth transitions between movements.
υDo not use the bike without proper footwear. Never operate the bike with bare feet.
υNever 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 disen gaged, push down on the resistance knob to stop the flywheel’s motion.
