User manual MINOURA VERGO EXCEL-S

[. . . ] Attach the Foot Step onto the bracket on the Step-Bar first, put the Mag unit over the Foot Step, then tighten both brackets together with the pivot bolt. ! Overtightening the pivot bolt will cause the Foot-Step to become inoperable. Make sure you unscrew (loosen) the pivot bolt by 1/4 - 1/2 turn once you completely tightened it. The Mag unit should be lowered towards the ground by its own weight at this point. If the pivot bolt is too loose, the Mag unit will drop quickly and you may be pinched between the frame and Mag unit. [. . . ] After adjusting, tighten both screws firmly. How To Use Small Wheel Adaptor If your tires is a 26" and smaller than 1. 50" in width, you will need to use the supplied Z-shaped Small Wheel Adapter. (The tire size is clearly indicated on its side wall) Z-Adaptor The direction of the Z-adapter is fixed so follow the arrow printed on the top and make sure it's pointing Hex Head Bolt toward the front (toward your bike). If the drive roller cannot reach the tire, make sure the Z-adapter has been installed correctly. Use the original cap head bolts for the Mount Base, and use the supplied hex head bolts for the Mag unit. Cap Head Bolt -3- Placing VERGO EXCEL-S on Floor Fully open the legs and place on a flat and horizontal floor. ! To open the U-Leg, grab the main frame and the rubber cap on the U-Leg. Do NOT pull the Alloy Leg Guide directly, otherwise it may be bent or damaged. Main Frame Alloy Leg Guide U-Leg Adjuster Knob Check that all 4 points are touching the floor evenly. If all 4 points are not touching the floor evenly, the frame could be deformed and cause damage to the trainer and possibly your bike. About Leg Height Adjuster Each U-Leg height can be adjusted separately by +/- 10 mm travel. This adjuster allows for uneven floor or ground compensation to help insure proper stability. When using the adjuster, be sure to check and make sure that all 4 points are touching the ground evenly. And the trainer should be positioned as close as possible to the floor for better stability. -4- How To Mount Your Bike VERGO EXCEL-S's coupling position is pre-adjusted in the factory to fit the 125mm standard rear hub width. If it is too loose or too tight to your bike, or if you use different width of rear hub like a track race bike, adjust the left side coupling as precisely as possible for maximum stability. Please note there is no adjustment on the right side (lever side) coupling. ! The coupling cone shape is designed to fit the supplied quick release skewer perfectly. Too less air pressure should cause premature tire wear. Lift up the Mag unit towards the rear tire until the clearance between the tire and roller is about 2 mm. In this position, turn the red adjust knob under the Foot Pedal clockwise until the inside bolt touches the black steel base plate. At this point, stop tightening the knob and gently but firmly push down the Foot Pedal to engage the tire to the roller. It is normal that the tire is compressed by 3-4 mm. Adjust the knob if the contact is not too much nor too little. Now, hop on your bike and give it a spin. If your tire slips, tighten the knob in 1/4 turns until the contact is correct. If the tire drags or you smell burning rubber, back off contact in 1/4 turns until you achieve proper contact. ! If the roller pressure to the tire is not adjusted properly, premature tire wear can be expected. Too little pressure is worse than too much pressure for good tire life. 6 If always using the same bike and tire, no further adjustment should be needed than operating the pedal. -6- How To Operate Remote Shifter VERGO EXCEL-S comes with a convenient remote shifter device. By installing it on your handlebar or stem, you can adjust the resistance level in 7 levels without getting off the bike.
