HOW TO MOVE THE INDOOR CYCLE

Due to the weight of the Indoor Cycle, it is recommended that two persons move it. While one person lifts the back of the indoor cycle, the second person firmly holds the handlebar and tips the indoor cycle forward until it rolls on the wheels. Carefully move the Indoor Cycle to the desired location and then lower it.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury, use extreme caution while moving the indoor cycle. Do not attempt to move it over uneven surfaces and make sure there’s a safety space of 20 inch (minimum) to the nearest equipment is recommended.

HOW TO ADJUST THE INDOOR CYCLE

The Indoor Cycle can be adjusted for maximum comfort and exercise effectiveness. The instructions below describe one approach to adjusting the Indoor Cycle to ensure optimal user comfort and ideal body positioning; you may choose to adjust the Indoor Cycle differently.

If the Indoor Cycle rocks on the floor after being set down, turn the leveling feet underneath the front or rear stabilizer until the rocking motion is eliminated.

Leveling Feet

SADDLE ADJUSTMENT

Proper saddle height helps ensure maximum exercise efficiency and comfort, while

reducing the risk of injury. Adjust the saddle height to make sure it's in proper position, one that keeps a slightly bend in your knee while your legs are in the extended position.

HANDLEBAR ADJUSTMENT

Proper position for the handlebar is based primarily on comfort. Typically, the handlebar should be positioned slightly higher than the saddle for beginning cyclists. Advanced cyclists could try different heights to get the arrangement most suitable for you.

HZ14_OG_Elite_IC7_Rev1_1.indd 6-7 6/30/14 2:09 PM

Do not adjust the saddle position beyond the stop marks on the saddle slider

TO ADJUST THE SADDLE HEIGHT:

Rotate the adjustment lever counterclockwise and adjust the saddle to a comfortable pedaling position. Rotate the lever clockwise to lock saddle position.

Do not adjust the handlebar height beyond the stop mark on the stem

TO ADJUST THE HANDLEBAR HEIGHT:

Rotate the adjustment lever counterclockwise to adjust the handlebar height. Raise or lower the handlebar to the desired height. Rotate the lever clockwise to lock handlebar position.

Do not adjust saddle height beyond the stop mark on the stem

TO ADJUST THE SADDLE HORIZONTAL POSITION:

Rotate the adjustment lever counterclockwise to slide the saddle forward or backward as desired. Rotate the lever clockwise to lock saddle position. Test the saddle slide for proper operation.

The pedal straps should be adjusted to hold the foot snugly in the pedal

TO ADJUST THE PEDAL STRAPS:

Place each foot ankle on the pedal and in the toe clip that the foot ankle is centered over the pedal spindle (center of the pedal). Rotate one foot to arms reach and pull up on the toe clip strap. Repeat for the other foot. Keep your knees over your feet as you pedal. To remove your foot from the toe clip, loosen the strap and pull out.

computer will alarm with “Beep” sound.

WIRELESS HEART RATE

WARNING

This bike includes a Polar® wireless heart rate strap and has a built-in wireless heart rate receiver. When used in conjunction with a wireless chest transmitter, your heart rate can be transmitted wirelessly to the console.

The Indoor Cycle uses a fixed flywheel that builds momentum and will keep the pedals turning even after the user stops pedaling or if the user’s feet slip off. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE YOUR FEET FROM THE PEDALS OR DISMOUNT THE MACHINE UNTIL BOTH THE PEDALS AND THE FLYWHEEL HAVE COMPLETELY STOPPED. Failure to follow these instructions may lead to loss of control and the potential for serious injury.

HZ14_OG_Elite_IC7_Rev1_1.indd 10-11 6/30/14 2:09 PM

Prior to wearing the wireless chest transmitter on your chest, moisten the two rubber electrodes with water. Center the chest strap just below the breast or pectoral muscles, directly over your sternum, with the logo facing out. NOTE: The chest strap must be tight and properly placed to receive an accurate and consistent readout. If the chest strap is too loose, or positioned improperly, you may receive an erratic or inconsistent heart rate readout.

TROUBLESHOOTING & MAINTENANCE

HZ14_OG_Elite_IC7_Rev1_1.indd 12-13 6/30/14 2:09 PM

COMMON PRODUCT QUESTIONS

ARE THE SOUNDS MY INDOOR CYCLE MAKES NORMAL?

Our Indoor Cycles are some of the quietest available because they use belt drives and cantilever brake resistance. We use the highest grade bearings and chains/belts to minimize noise. However, because the resistance system itself is so quiet, you will occasionally hear other slight mechanical noises. Unlike older, louder technologies, there are no fans, friction belts, or alternator noises to mask these sounds on our Indoor Cycles. These mechanical noises, which may or may not be intermittent, are normal and are caused by the transfer of significant amounts of energy to a rapidly spinning flywheel. All bearings, chains/belts and other rotating parts will generate some noise which will transmit through the casing and frame. It is also normal for these sounds to change slightly during a workout and over time because of thermal expansion of the parts.

WHY IS THE INDOOR CYCLE I HAD DELIVERED LOUDER THAN THE ONE AT THE STORE?

All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is generally more background noise than in your home. Also, there will be less reverberation on a carpeted concrete floor than on a wood overlay floor. Sometimes a heavy rubber mat will help reduce reverberation through the floor. If a fitness product is placed close to a wall, there will be more reflected noise.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM: The Indoor Cycle makes a squeaking or chirping noise.

SOLUTION: Verify the following:

• The Indoor Cycle is on a level surface.

• Loosen all bolts attached during the assembly process, grease the threads, and tighten again.

If this does not remedy the problem, you may

CONTACT CUSTOMER TECH SUPPORT AT THE NUMBER ON THE INFORMATION CARD.

The following information may be asked of you when you call. Please have these items readily available:

• Model Name

• Serial Number

• Proof of Purchase (receipt or credit card statement)

You may find more troubleshooting suggestions on the customer support section of our website. Contact customer support using the contact information on the INFORMATION CARD.

HOW LONG WILL THE BELT LAST?

The computer modeling we have done indicated virtually thousands of maintenance free hours. You should not have to replace the belt as long as you have the Indoor Cycle.

CAN I MOVE THE INDOOR CYCLE EASILY ONCE IT IS ASSEMBLED?

Your Indoor Cycle has a pair of transport wheels built into the front stabilizer tube. Please follow the MOVING THE INDOOR CYCLE section to transport your Indoor Cycle. It is important that you place your Indoor Cycle in a comfortable and inviting room. Your Indoor Cycle is designed to use minimal floor space. Many people will place their Indoor Cycles facing the TV or a picture window. If at all possible, avoid putting your Indoor Cycle in an unfinished basement. To make exercise a desirable daily activity for you, the Indoor Cycle should be in a comfortable setting.

In order for Customer Tech Support to service your Indoor Cycle they may need to ask detailed questions about the symptoms that are occurring. Some troubleshooting questions that may be asked are:

• How long has this problem been occurring?

• Does this problem occur with every use? With every user?

• If you are hearing a noise, does it come from the front or the back? What kind of noise is it (thumping, grinding, squeaking, chirping etc.)?

• Has the machine been lubricated and maintained per the MAINTENANCE schedule?

Answering these and other questions will give the technicians the ability to send proper replacement parts and the service necessary to get you and your Indoor Cycle running again!
