structure of the Direto.
8) Make sure the bike is stable by pushing and pulling the
top tube of the frame and the saddle. Should the bike still
be moving a little on the Direto, use more force to lock the
thru-axle.
- Start pedalling. Ride very slowly at first and increase your
speed gradually until you become familiar with the features
of Direto.

21_CONNECTIONS

- Direto has an electronic motherboard that is powered via
a standard power supply adapter (included).
- Connect the power supply to the grid and the jack to
the proper connector on the back of the Direto. A small
vibration indicates that the system is booting up to its initial
position. This operation might last up to 15 seconds.
Hang the power supply cable on the dedicated hanger (Pics
21 and 22).
The Direto compliance with EU laws (see "Declaration of
conformity", page 96) may be voided if a charger different
from the original is used.

22_REMOVING THE BICYCLE

- Shift the bicycle chain on the smallest cassette sprocket
of Direto and of the smallest front chainring of the bicycle.
- Open up the quick release (or remove the thru-axle) and
remove the bicycle from the Direto.
- To avoid clutter or for transportation: loosen the knobs
(Pic. 23) and fold the side legs (Pic. 24 - 25).

23_RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE

- Choose a cassette range that is compatible with your
goals and fitness level:
1) cassettes with a range of 11 to 23/25 teeth are
recommended for professional athletes and amateurs who
are able to develop high power output.
2) Cassettes with a greater number of teeth, such as 12/
13 to 27 /29, are recommended for all other cyclists.
- Derailleurs should work properly after bicycle installation
on Direto. Occasionally, an adjustment may be necessary
for proper operation. If you have any questions, please
contact your dealer to ensure proper derailleur operation
with Direto.

OF CAMPAGNOLO
2) Remove the freehub body from the Direto shaft (Pic. 27).
3) Fully insert the Campagnolo® cassette compatible
freehub body (Pic. 28-29).
4) Tighten the cog set shaft adapter using a 5 mm hex
wrench to a torque of 5 Nm (44in-lbs). Use a medium-
strength oil tolerant threadlocker to lock the adapter on the
shaft.
- 2 spacers (Ref. B) are usually needed for the 9 speed
cassette (Pic. 14), 1 spacer for the 10 speed cassette (Pic.
15) and no spacer is required for the 11 speed cassette
(Pic. 16). Depending on the cassette brand you are using
there might be some differences with the aforementioned
general data.
ATTENTION!
Strictly follow the instructions provided by the cassette
manufacturer with regard to specific installation techniques,
the need for additional spacers and torque specifications.
NOTE: Please contact your dealer if you have questions
about installation or if you cannot install the cassette. The
warranty does not cover any damage to the bicycle and/or
Direto in the event of incorrect installation.

25_MAINTENANCE

Direto does not require any specific scheduled maintenance,
however the following precautions are recommended:
- wipe the trainer clean with a cloth after each training
session to prevent the accumulation of dust and sweat;
- do not clean or degrease the bicycle chain while the bike
is mounted on Direto as solvents can cause irreparable
damage to the bearings or other internal mechanical parts;
- check that the quick release is properly secured and fully
working before every training session.
Some transmission belt slippage might occur after multiple
uses or after particularly strenuous training sessions,
as belt tension diminishes; you might perceive it via a
resistance variation while pedaling.
WARNING!: Make sure the re-tensioning procedure has
been pre-approved by Elite's tech assistance department
before re-tensioning the belt. Breaking the anti-tampering
seal invalidates the product's warranty.

26_WARNINGS

- Direto becomes hot during use. Wait for it to cool before
touching the resistance unit covers.
- Use the Direto trainer as described in the manual.
- Direto is not equipped with an emergency brake.
- Direto has been designed and manufactured to ensure
maximum safety of the user and/or third parties, but
people, children and pets should be kept away from the
trainer during use as contact with the moving parts of the
trainer and the bicycle may result in damage or injury.
- Never put your fingers or foreign objects of any kind
