Using The Mag Unit

The Magturbo unit has 7 different levels of load force, replicating actual riding resistance.
The load settings range from high (H) to low (L) and can be adjusted via the white lever on the Magturbo unit or the lever on the thumb
shifter device. The rider may also adjust the load force by shifting up or down among his gears, depending on the level desired.
We recommend that you start with a medium to low load force and gradually work up, increasing force as muscled warm up.

To increase the load force, move the white lever on the Mag unit toward the “H” symbol.

If your Mag unit is a remote control type, turn the lever on your thumb shifter device
toward the “H” symbol.

How To Setup Your MAG-500 Trainer
Insert the left side of the skewer (quick release 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. C). This will prevent damage to the skewer during use.
(Fig. E)
Open the frame support legs and fit the rubber feet at the correct angle so the base is in full contact with the floor. Do NOT
remove the round metal plates from inside the rubber feet when fitting.
Open both couplings by turning the right side hub handle (see Fig. B) anti-clockwise.
Do not over-loosen the couplings, otherwise the knob or the hub handle may become
unthreaded inside the frame.

Hold the bike firmly by hand and turn the hub handle clockwise until the coupling
comes into contact with the right side skewer nut.

Apply the Mag unit to the tire by lifting up it temporally to know the wheel position.
If the tire touches either left or right side platic housing of the Mag unit (see Fig. D),
you must adjust the Mag unit position by loosening two bolts beneath the Mag unit.
Do not forget to tighten the bolts firmly after adjusting.

Turn the micro adjust knob clockwise to bring the drive roller into contact with the rear
tire. If the tire is compressed about 3mm by the roller, stop turning the knob.
NOTE: If the both legs don’t touch the floor at same time and if one side of the leg is still being lifted up slightly, pull
up the leg upward strongly then place the trainer on the floor again.
WARNING: Too much or too little contact between the tire and the roller
can cause premature tire wear and possibly damage the drive roller.

To decrease the load force, move the white lever on Mag unit toward the “L” symbol.
(see Fig. F)
Be sure the lowest selection is not zero load, there still be a small level of force.
If your Mag unit is a remote control type, turn the lever on your thumb shifter device
toward the “L” symbol.
