How to assemble an exercise bike

• Allen keys and spanner (supplied)
• Pedal spanner or a 15 mm spanner
• Cross-head screwdriver

Before you start, lay everything out on a soft surface (the flattened box works) and check it against the parts list in your manual.

• Main frame with flywheel
• Front and rear stabilisers
• Seat post and seat
• Handlebar post, handlebars and console
• Left (L) and right (R) pedals

1. 1

   Step 1: Bolt the front and rear stabiliser feet to the main frame, with the transport wheels at the front.

2. 2

   Step 2: Fit the seat to the seat post, then slide the post into the frame and lock it at a comfortable height.

3. 3

   Step 3: Feed the console cable through the handlebar post and fit the post to the frame, without pinching the cable.

4. 4

   Step 4: Fit the handlebars and console, and connect the console cable.

5. 5

   Step 5: Screw the right pedal (R) into the right crank clockwise.

6. 6

   Step 6: Screw the left pedal (L) into the left crank anticlockwise, since it has a reverse thread, then tighten both firmly with the spanner.

7. 7

   Step 7: Level the bike with the adjustable feet and test the resistance knob and console.

• Forcing the left pedal in clockwise, which ruins the crank thread.
• Pinching the console cable in the handlebar post.
• Setting the seat too low, which strains the knees.
