HOW TO USE THE TRAINING BIKE
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD IN THE
UNITED STATES OR CANADA
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of
electric shock. The power cord has a plug with a
grounding pin.
DANGER: Improper connection of
the power cord increases the risk of electric
shock. Do not modify the plug—if it will not fit
an outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician. If you are unsure whether
the product is properly grounded, contact a
qualified electrician.
Plug the
power cord
into an
appropriate
outlet that
is properly
installed and
grounded in
accordance
with all local
codes and
ordinances.
The outlet must be on a nominal 120-volt circuit.
Grounded Outlet
Grounding Pin
A temporary
adapter may
be used to
connect the
power cord
to a 2-pole
receptacle
as shown
at the right
if a properly
grounded
outlet is not
available.
The lug or wire extending from the adapter must
be connected with a metal screw to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box covers are not
grounded. Before using an adapter, contact a qualified electrician to determine whether the outlet
box cover is grounded before using an adapter.
The temporary adapter should be used only until
a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician.

Any failure or damage caused by unauthorized service;
misuse; accident; negligence; improper assembly or
installation; debris resulting from any destruction activities in the product’s environment; rust or corrosion as a
result of the product’s location; alterations or modifications without written authorization; or failure on your

equipment-earthing conductor and an earthing plug.
IMPORTANT: If the power cord is damaged, it must
be replaced with a manufacturer-recommended
power cord.
DANGER: Improper connection of
the equipment-earthing conductor can result
in an increased risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or serviceman if
you are in doubt as to whether the product
is properly earthed. Do not modify the plug
provided with the product—if it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician

FEATURES OF THE TRAINING BIKE
Measuring Watts
Each training bike is individually calibrated to measure
your power output and to allow you to monitor your
watts and RPMs directly on the console.
By monitoring your watts and RPMs, you can see how
hard you are training and make sure that you are challenging yourself and improving.
The Incline System
The training bike can incline and decline up to 20 percent to realistically simulate outdoor terrain. When you
create maps of your actual training routes on iFit.com
(see the console instructions beginning on page 11
for more information), the training bike will automatically incline and decline to match the terrain of your
training routes.
The Handlebar Shifters
The training bike allows you to shift gears just like
you do on your road bike. The right and left handlebar
shifters simulate front and rear derailleurs that you can
configure to match the gearing setup of your road bike
(see the console instructions beginning on page 11
for more information).
Pedaling Form Features
The training bike has multiple features to help you
develop correct pedaling form:
Freewheel—The training bike has a freewheel that
simulates a road bike rather than a fixed-drive spin
bike. This discourages you from letting your feet coast
through the top and bottom of your pedal stroke.
Flywheel—The flywheel on the training bike has the
correct inertia to allow you to pedal smoothly while
encouraging you to use good pedaling form.
HOW TO ADJUST THE GEOMETRY OF THE
TRAINING BIKE
The training bike can be adjusted to match the geometry of your road bike to promote correct form and to
ensure proper training of the muscles. Note: Make
adjustments in small increments, and then pedal
the training bike to test the adjustments.
How to Adjust the Angle of the Saddle
You can adjust the angle of the saddle to the position that is most comfortable. You can also adjust the
saddle forward or backward for increased comfort or to
adjust the distance to the handlebar.
To adjust the
saddle, first loosen
the hex nuts on the
saddle clamp a few
turns. Next, tilt the
saddle upward or
downward or slide
the saddle forward
or backward to the
desired position.
Then, retighten the hex nuts.
How to Adjust the Saddle Carriage
To a d ju s t t he po s ition of the saddle
carriage, loosen
the carriage knob,
move the saddle
carriage forward
or backward to the
desired position,
and then firmly
tighten the carriage
knob.
