1. When kids are pedaling, make sure they are starting slowly – not sprinting from a complete stop (this can make the inverter fail to give resistance and eventually damage the inverter).

2. The inverter is in a bag – feel free to keep it in the bag or remove it when in use. There is a possibility that it being in the bag could restrict airflow to the inverter, but to date, this has not been a problem.

3. Initially, getting the bike on the stand may take some stretching of the stand – pulling on both sides to make it wide enough for the axle is fine.
