Powering-Up Tips
To greatly reduce the chance of blowing the fuse in the power supply:
- Be sure Power Supply is unplugged from the wall
and the Load Generator power switch is in the OFF position.
- Hook up Power Supply and DIN cables to the Load
Generator and Handlebar unit.
- Plug Power Supply into A/C wall outlet.
- Power up Load Generator
Load Generator Care
The worst enemy of all electronic devices is heat. The Load
Generator contains a built in mechanical cooling fan which rotates at the same speed as the
roller and flywheel. In other words, the faster you go the more air
is made to cool the Load Generator. If you are riding LONG uphill grades at low speeds for extended periods of
time, the load generator is creating high heat loads with minimum cooling from the
built-in fan. It is a good idea to create workouts or courses with interval cooling periods.
I.E. inserting level road sections between grades or lowering wattage while using
ergometer mode.
Handlebar Controller Care
If the handlebar unit is mounted in a "sweat path" it is
recommended to cover it with plastic wrap, or mount it in a place that perspiration isn't
dripping on it. The unit is sweat resistant, but not sweat proof.
Damage to the Handlebar Controller due to sweat is not covered under warranty.
Trainer Stand Care
The only care that needs to be given to the CompuTrainer Stand is periodic
lubrication of the threaded adjusting rods, Take-ups and the Adjusting Hinge and
Knob threads below the Load Generator. It is not unusual for sweat or humidity
to eventually rust the threads over time if they are not periodically lubricated. Use 3-in-1 house hold lubricating oil, or
some of that good bike lube you have laying around.
