06_ADVICE ON USING YOUR ARION MAG

1) For carrying, or to save space when not using the roller,
it is advisable close the frame. Pay attention to the position
of hands when closing the roller, to avoid squashing them
between the two side members. To close the frame, place
hands at the ends of the side members (Fig. 6).
Therefore avoid placing hands in such a way that can
become squashed between the side members (Fig. 7).
2) To facilitate carrying, it is advisable to hold it by the
special grips located at the hinges (Fig. 8).
3) The rollers work best with tyre that has a smooth tread.
If using a mountain bike, to reduce noise and increase
stability change the tyre for one with a slick tread.
4) For beginners, position the rollers in an entrance hall, in
a doorway or near a stable object, in order to have a
support while acquiring the necessary balance.
5) Make sure the ARION MAG rests on a flat, stable
surface.
6) The ARION MAG has 3 resistance levels: "0" minimum
resistance, "1" medium resistance, "2" maximum
resistance (Fig. 9). Select the required resistance level D by
shifting the slide to the required resistance value. On
acquiring greater skill on the rollers, you can also use the
bicycle's gears to vary the resistance level.
7) Begin with the resistance unit set to the minimum
resistance level "0" (Fig. 10). Select a middle gear, and
begin with the bike centered on the roller drums, as close
to vertical as possible. If this is your first time, you may find
it easier to lower your saddle slightly to help you get started
in a vertical position.
8) Start pedalling and look ahead, like on the road. Even if
you would instinctively tend to look at the front wheel, you
will keep balance better and pedal "in a straight line" if you
concentrate on an object located 2.5 – 4 metres (10-15
feet) in front of you.
9) If you start leaning or shift to the side of the drums,
correct your position with very light steering movements. If
you steer to much you will lose balance or end up over the
side of the rollers.
10) Keeping a fast and smooth pedalling style will help you
stay balanced on the rollers, thanks to the gyroscopic
effect of the wheels.
11) At first, pedalling on the rollers will give you a feeling
of instability, and moving the handlebar too abruptly or
pedalling heavily can make you lose control. The big
advantage of the rollers, compared to standard training
tools, is that the rollers teach you to reduce the movement
of the upper part of your body and maintain a steady
pedalling pace.
12) After gaining confidence with the ARION MAG,
you can vary the resistance level (D) by moving the
resistance slider to positions "1" (Fig. 11) or "2".(Fig. 12).

13) Do not use the bicycle brakes to stop. Rest a foot on
the ARION MAG frame and allow the bicycle to come to a
stop.

07_CARE AND MAINTENANCE

1) Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause
deformation of the technopolymer rollers. Do not use or
keep the rollers in places where they are exposed to direct
sunlight.
2) Always clean the rollers after use. Only use a damp
cloth. Do not use solvents or harsh detergents.
3) If the ARION MAG is not going to be used for a
prolonged period, release the drive belt, bringing it out of
its seat, or close it, otherwise the belt's tension could cause
early loss of transmission efficiency.
4) The coupled bearings on the roller do not require
lubrication and are practically maintenance-free.
5) Periodically check the roller clamping screws, make
sure that they are still tight but not so tight as to damage
the plastic frame.
6) In case of wear or breakage of the drive belt, replace it
by proceeding as follows:
A) Remove the rectangular covers (C) from both front
longitudinal members (with aid of a screwdriver if
necessary), and the screws and washers from the front
roller on both sides, using the Allen key I) supplied.
B) Undo the fixing screw (Fig. 13).
C) Undo the fixing screw located on the longitudinal
member on the side opposite the magnetic resistance of
the middle roller F) (Fig.14).
D) Replace the belt, refit the rollers in their correct seats
and secure all the screws again.
E) Position the rectangular cover on its seat.
7) Drive belts and other spare parts for the ARION
MAG are available from you local Elite dealer.

08_IMPORTANT

1) Read and follow the enclosed instructions.
2) 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.
3) 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.
4) Make sure any unevenness in the floor or objects
present on it cannot come into contact with the rotating
components of the incorporated mechanical resistance.
