upward.
• Repeat the same operation also for the other plug.
• Fit the plugs for wheels larger than 28" (E), using a
rubber hammer if necessary (Fig. 13).
• Reposition the tubes with respective screws (Fig. 10 and
Fig. 11).

06_FITTING THE BICYCLE

• Make sure the quick release of the bicycle rear wheel is
properly fixed.
• Turn the lever (F) to the "open" position (fig. 14).
• Put the bicycle in position, inserting the left end of the
rear quick release in the left bushing (fig. 15). For safer
clamping of the bicycle on the stand, make sure the lever
of the quick release is horizontal (fig. 16).
• Close the lever (I), making sure it starts pressing the
quick release inside the predefined work area; between
55° and 65° (Fig.17).
• If the lever (I) starts pressing the quick release in the
advanced work position (fig. 18), screw the right bushing
pin (L) (fig. 19) so that the lever starts working inside the
predefined work area (between 55° and 65°) (Fig.17).
• If the lever (I) starts pressing the quick release in the
delayed work position (fig. 20), unscrew the right bushing
pin (fig. 21) so that the lever starts working inside the
predefined work area (between 55° and 65°) (Fig.17).
• Make sure the overtravel lever (M) is in the "OPEN"
position (Fig. 22).
• Turn the knob (N) anticlockwise (Fig. 23) until the roller of
the resistance unit (M) touches the wheel (Fig. 24).
• Turn the overtravel lever (M) 180° to the right (Fig. 25) to
the "CLOSE" position and check the pressure of the wheel
on the unit support (Fig.26).
• If the wheel is moved too far from the middle of the Roller
(Fig.27), shift the resistance unit by bringing the overtravel
lever to the "OPEN" position (Fig.23), loosening the fixing
screws of the unit (Fig.28), tightening them in a more
correct position (Fig.29) and turning the overtravel lever (M)
180° to the right to the "CLOSE" position (Fig.25).
• Push the bicycle towards the resistance unit until the rear
wheel touches the roller (fig. 29).

07_BIKE REMOVAL

• Open the overtravel lever (Fig.25).
• Hold the bicycle with one hand and with the other open
the lever (I), turning it to the "open" position (fig. 30).
Remove the bicycle.
• For carrying, or storage, it is advisable to close the stand.
• For storage and transport, turn the knob (N) anticlockwise
(Fig. 23) up to its maximum height (Fig. 31).
• You can further reduce the space occupied by the trainer
14
by releasing the resistance unit from the frame (Fig. 32-33)
and folding it flat (Fig. 34).
ATTENTION: to avoid pinching of hands, do not to put them
between the uprights during the closing operation.

08_ATTENTION

• Keep people, children and animals away from the roller
during use, since the moving and rotating parts of the roller
and the bicycle can cause damage in case of contact.
• Before starting training, position the trainer in a dry place,
away from potentially hazardous objects (furniture, tables,
chairs, etc.) in order to avoid any risk of inadvertent or
accidental contact with them.
• The stand is designed for use by just one cyclist.
• Check the safety and stability of the bicycle before every
training session.
• If the quick release is not compatible with the bushings of
the stand, replace it with the one supplied (O).
• There are no individually usable components on the
inside.
• Since the feet are made from soft non-slip material,
during use they may leave rubber marks on the floor.

09_ADVICE ON USE

• For less tyre wear and better grip on the roller, it is
advisable to use tyres of 23 mm width.
• Recommended rear wheel pressure: 7 -8
atmospheres for racing tyres; 3.5 - 4 atmospheres for
MTB tyres. For particular cases, comply with the pressure
recommended by the tyre manufacturer.
• For quieter use, better grip of the tyre on the roller and
reduced vibration, use slick tyres (also for Mountain bikes).
• Before use, clean the tyre with alcohol or water.
• If any slipping of the wheel on the roller of the unit is
noticed, increase the pressure of the roller on the wheel
as follows:
1) Turn the overtravel lever to the "OPEN" position (Fig.22)
2) Turn the knob anticlockwise, thereby increasing the
pressure of the roller on the tyre (Fig.23)
3) Turn the overtravel lever to the "CLOSE" position (Fig.25)
• If, in any case, slipping of the wheel on the roller of the unit
is noticed, make the force on the pedal more progressive.
Training with the tyre slipping can permanently damage the
roller and tyre.
• If the pin of the quick release supplied protrudes more
than 3 mm from the fixing nut, cut off the protruding part
(fig. 35).
