User manual MINOURA HYPERRIM

[. . . ] Adjust the drive-pulley height so they are even and touching the bicycle rim only (not the tire). ! Do not over tighten the hub-clamp handles. ! Before use, make sure all bolts and nuts are securely fastened. ! When installing your bicycle, make sure the rim is located in the center of the frame. This centering can be achieved by rotating the hub-clamp handles. ! Keep hands and feet away from spinning rollers and wheels at all times. -2- ASSEMBLING YOUR TRAINER Couplings Mag Unit Height Adjust Knob Load Adjust Dial Mag Unit Hub-clamp Handle Drive Roller U-Leg Frame Drive-pulley Lever (This figure is type-D) Mag Unit Installation Slot Assistant Roller Rubber Foot Cap Assistant Roller Unit Installation Slot (Fig. A) 1 2 Open the frame and U-Leg and place on level floor. Prior to assembly of the Mag Unit, locate the two bolts and two washers. [. . . ] By adjusting these levers, you will see that the two rollers contact the rim sidewall with equal tension. If they are not resting on the rim properly, but on the tire, then you must re-adjust the height of the drive pulleys so that the roller contact is solely on the rim. G) ! If the rollers are rubbing against or touching the tire, it may cause the tire to burst. H) ! Be careful not to pinch fingers in springs while adjusting. I) -5- 4 To remove your bicycle from the trainer: First, push down both white levers (see Fig. Then rotate the hub-clamp counter-clockwise until loose, and pull out the bicycle. J) USING THE MAG UNIT The Mag Unit has seven different levels of load force, replicating actual riding resistance. The load settings range from high (H) to low (L) and can be adjusted via the orange dial on the Mag Unit. The rider may also adjust the load force by shifting up or down among his gears, depending on the level desired. We recommend that you start with a medium to low load force and gradually work up, increasing force as muscled warm up. Increasing Load Force To increase the load force, turn the orange dial on the Mag unit toward the "H" symbol. K) When your Mag unit is a remote control type, twist the lever on your handlebar toward the "H" symbol. H (Fig. K) Decreasing Load Force To decrease the load force, turn the orange dial on the Mag unit toward the "L" symbol. L) The lowest selection is not zero load; there still be a small level of force. When your Mag unit is a remote control type, twist the lever on your handlebar toward the "L" symbol. L) L L -6- H REPLACING YOUR DRIVE ROLLERS When you first start riding, the HyperRim's rubber rollers may be stiff and cause the rim to slip. But the rollers will soften after a few rotations and will impart the proper rim grip. The rubber rollers may melt or wear from excessive heat over longtime use. When you find that your load force has diminished significantly or that you feel some vibration that cannot be fixed through minor adjustments, then it is time to invest in a "roller replacement set". Directions 1 2 To remove: Apply a 10mm wrench to the nut behind the pulley while turning the bolt with a M4 hex wrench. M) If you are changing the roller on the Mag unit (left) side, go to step 3. To change the roller on the assistant-roller-unit (right) side, pull back the pulley and remove the rubber roller. (Fig. M) 3 To remove the pulley on the Mag Unit (left) side, you must loosen the two bolts that are located on the surface of the Mag unit with a M4 hex wrench. [. . . ] A gradual increasing of the load force is better for your muscles and a more effective form of training. By manipulating the load force and your bicycle gears, you can get your preferred level of resistance. We reccomend that you consult a knowledgeable fitness trainer about your personal training program. ! Always stretch before riding the trainer, warm up when you begin riding, and cool down slowly when you are finishing your session. For best results, it is important to maintain a consistent cadence through any changes in load force. !
