To assemble the Proflex EXB1 bicycle trainer, follow these steps: 1. Take all the parts out of the carton and place them on a firm, flat surface. Remove any packing materials and ensure that all parts have been supplied. 2. Attach the front foot, which has rotating caps, to the main body. Use the two pre-assembled captive bolts, curved washers, and acorn nuts to secure the feet. Make sure the bolts are inserted from the outer side of the feet and tighten the nuts firmly. 3. Attach the rear foot to the center frame using the two pre-assembled captive bolts, curved washers, and acorn nuts. Again, insert the bolts from the outer side of the feet and tighten the nuts firmly. Connect the two sets of pulse sensor cables from each end of the main body and center frame, tucking any excess cable into the center frame tube. 4. Carefully slide the center frame into the main body tube. Align a hole in the center frame tube with the frame lock nut hole and screw the frame lock nut in until the parts are secure.
