resistance level
by shifting the slide to the required
resistance value. On acquiring greater skill on the
rollers, you can also use the bicycle's gears to vary
the resistance level.

Begin with the resistance unit set to the minimum
resistance level "0" (Fig. 10). Select a middle gear,
and begin with the bike centered on the roller drums,
as close to vertical as possible. If this is your first time,
you may find it easier to lower your saddle slightly to
help you get started in a vertical position.
Start pedalling and look ahead, like on the road.
Even if you would instinctively tend to look at the front
wheel, you will keep balance better and pedal "in a
straight line" if you concentrate on an object located
2.5 – 4 metres (10-15 feet) in front of you.
If you start leaning or shift to the side of the drums,
correct your position with very light steering
movements. If you steer to much you will lose balance
or end up over the side of the rollers.
Keeping a fast and smooth pedalling style will
help you stay balanced on the rollers, thanks to the
gyroscopic effect of the wheels.
At first, pedalling on the rollers will give you a
feeling of instability, and moving the handlebar too

abruptly or pedalling heavily can make you lose
control. The big advantage of the rollers, compared to
standard training tools, is that the rollers teach you to
reduce the movement of the upper part of your body
and maintain a steady pedalling pace.
After gaining confidence with the ARION MAG,
you can vary the resistance level ( ) by moving the
resistance slider to positions "1" (Fig. 11) or "2".
(Fig. 12).

Do not use the bicycle brakes to stop. Rest a foot
on the ARION MAG frame and allow the bicycle to
come to a stop.
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause
deformation of the technopolymer rollers. Do not use
or keep the rollers in places where they are exposed
to direct sunlight.
Always clean the rollers after use. Only use a damp
cloth. Do not use solvents or harsh detergents.
If the ARION MAG is not going to be used for a
prolonged period, release the drive belt, bringing it
out of its seat, or close it, otherwise the belt's tension
could cause early loss of transmission efficiency.
