User manual MINOURA RDA80

[. . . ] For more detail, refer the enclosed "Minoura Limited Warranty Policy" card. WARNINGS !You may use the quick release skewer currently on your bicycle, however we recommend replacing your quick release skewer with the supplied one and keep installing the coupling protector cap on to the right side coupling of the trainer. We don't recommend to continue using your own quick release skewer for your safety. Keep both hands on handlebars at all times and maintain a normal riding position. [. . . ] The left side coupling is used only to provide easy intitial adjustment for your hub length. D) Insert the left side of the skewer (Q/R lever side) into the left side coupling, and adjust the rotation of the coupling so the skewer lever sits securely in the large cut-out (see Fig. D) 4 5 6 Hold the bike firmly by hand and turn the right side hub handle clockwise until the coupling comes into contact with the right side skewer nut. Adjust each height of the Mag unit and the assistant roller to fit to your rear wheel perfectly and tighten the bolts firmly. Contact with the tire may cause the tire to burst during use. 7 Adjust the wheel position by checking the doublecircle position indicators on both side. The best position should be each indicator can be seen equally, but if your rim is narrow, you should adjust the wheel position to be a little left (toward Mag side) to prevent unexpected slippage problem. Clamping wheel securely must be done by the right side Hub Handle. (Fig. G) Skewer Nut Protector (Grommet) THE SKEWER NUT PROTECTOR We strongly recommend you to use the supplied skewer at all times if your rear wheel is a quick release skewer system. This will guarantee a fit with our couplings and remove any chance of misalignment. Hole (Fig. H) The right side coupling has a black plastic Skewer Nut Protector (called a "Grommet"). If your rear wheel is not designed for the quick release skewer and uses a hub nut system, you should remove it by inserting a rod or a pen to the hole (see Fig. NOTE: We will NOT guarantee any fitting problem or accident caused by using your own skewer on the trainer. NOTE: When you use the supplied skewer, you should keep the Grommet on the coupling. -5- HOW TO INSTALL THE REMOTE SHIFTER (R model ONLY) The R model has a convenient remote shifter lever. You can install it on the handlebar or stem, then you can control the resistance level without getting off the bike. 1 2 1) Wind the band around the handlebar and hook the metal ring to the gutter on the remote shifter base, then 2) flip up the lever to lock (see Fig. The soft fabric band is pre-adjusted to fit normal 22mm diameter handlebar. If you need to mount onto an oversized or specially shaped handlebar or stem, adjust the band (see Fig. At this moment, you should slide the guide pin downward to loosen the band for easier work. Decrease 1 2 1 (Fig. K) USING THE MAG RESISTANCE UNIT The Mag unit has 7 different levels of load force, replicating actual riding resistance. The load settings range from high (H) to low (L) can be adjusted via the side lever on the Magturbo unit or the lever on the remote shifter lever. You may also adjust the load force by shifting up or down among your gears, depending on the level desired. [. . . ] If you experience slippage all the time you use the trainer, check the belt tension first by pushing down the belt with your finger. The K-16 V-belt will be worn down after long term of use but most reason for the slippage problem is caused by improper (too much or too less) tension adjustment. To adjust the belt tension, loosen both upper and lower bolts which hold the pulley arm by an M5 hex wrench, then pull the arm outward by your hand and tighten the bolts firmly again. This work requieres high skill for disassembling and assembling the Mag unit. [. . . ]
