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.

SADDLE ADJUSTMENT
Proper saddle height helps ensure maximum
exercise efficiency and comfort, while
A
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.

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.
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.

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!
