Step 1: Connect all the cables up before switching it on at the
socket. (THIS IS VITAL AS IT MAY CAUSE THE CONTROL BOX TO
SHORT OUT AND BREAK)
Step 2: Connect the USB to the PC port on the front whilst the
PC is still turned off
Step 3: Make sure the CompuTrainer unit switch is set to the off
position before turning on at the wall socket and power on the
PC
Step 4: Warm up the computer whilst powered on by cycling for
5‐10 minutes at a decent pace
Step 5: Once the CompuTrainer is warmed up, it will need to be
calibrated. (IMPORTANT: Make sure the PC cable is UNPLUGGED
from the control box) On the control box (the yellow and black
box with buttons on) it will display 0.00. To calibrate, simply
pedal up to approximately 25mph on the display, this should
take about 5‐6 revolutions of the pedals if you try to sprint and
stop pedalling once the display stops saying 'UP'. Wait for the
back wheel to slow down to 0mph. If it fails to reach the
required levels (below), use the adjustment screw on the
CompuTrainer by the back wheel to tighten/loosen. It is a very
fine adjustment so small adjustments.
You want a reading between 2.00‐2.20lbs of pressure. Press F3
