Before installing the bike in the trainer 

1. Check your wheel for compatibility, if you have not done so before purchasing. 
2. Install the included trainer skewer in your bike’s rear wheel. 

Install the bike in the trainer: First time set-up

1. Install one (1) speed index on a spoke. Slide the index towards the rim. 
2. Open the legs to full extension and place the trainer flat on the floor.
3. Rotate the magnet arrays so they are parallel with your rim. 
4. Turn the threaded rods counter clockwise to retract them. Retract one completely, and the other by ¾.
5. Back the bike into the trainer frame, aiming the wheel between the magnet arrays. The legs of the trainer should extend towards the front of the bike, with the frame encircling the back of the rear tire. 
6. Lift one skewer end into the closer skewer cup. 
7. Tighten the other knob until the both skewer cups firmly secure the trainer skewer. 
8. Tighten the lock nuts against the frame. 

Activate the trainer

1. Flip the "ON" switch. The switch is located at the top of the left indent on the electronics case. The magnet arrays will close on your wheel in order to center themselves. Keep the wheel still until they release. 
2. To start your ride, begin pedalling.
