How To...Remove and Replace Hardware in the 4”, and 14” Linkage Assemblies
(Continued)
Step 1
Turn power OFF at the On/Off switch and unplug the line cord from the
electrical outlet.
Step 2
Locate the two PUSH SNAP RIVETS (A) securing the top of the HOOD
SHROUD PANEL (B) to the top of the REAR SHROUD PANEL (C). The two
PUSH SNAP RIVETS are located on either side of the MONOCOLUMN (D)
under the TRAY ASSEMBLY (E). Depress the center button of each of the
two PUSH SNAP RIVETS to release the rivet locks.
HINT: USING A HEX KEY TOOL, YOU CAN REACH UNDER THE TRAY
ASSEMBLY TO DEPRESS THE RIVET LOCKS.
Step 3
Remove the eight SCREWS (F) securing the HOOD SHROUD PANEL (B) to the SIDE SHROUD PANELS (G).
Step 4
Carefully press down on the HOOD SHROUD PANEL (B) near the PUSH SNAP RIVETS (A) until the HOOD SHROUD
PANEL disengages from the PUSH SNAP RIVETS. Carefully remove the HOOD SHROUD PANEL from the unit and
set it aside.
Step 5
Pivot the user right PEDAL LEVER ASSEMBLY to it’s in the forward position.
Step 6
Locate the user right PEDAL LEVER ASSEMBLY (N) and the 4” LINK ASSEMBLY (O) pivot point. Using a 9/16”
socket and a 7/32” hex key, remove the NUT (P), two WASHERS (Q), and BOLT (R) from the PEDAL LEVER
ASSEMBLY (do not discard hardware) and the 4” LINK on the CRANK ARM
ASSEMBLY. Carefully rotate the 4” LINK BAR ASSEMBLY out of the way.
Remove and discard old SLEEVE and replace (in step 14) with 3/4” SLEEVE (#6)
included in the kit. Leave disconnected until step 14.
Step 7
CAUTION: BY REMOVING THE BOLT (V), YOU WILL BE SEPARATING THE
PEDAL LEVER ASSEMBLY AND THE 14” LINK BAR ( I ), THIS WILL CAUSE
THE CRANK ARM ASSEMBLY TO ROTATE.
SAFETY TIP: PLACE A BLOCK BETWEEN THE CRANK ARM PULLEY
ASSEMBLY AND FRAME TO PREVENT CRANK ARM ASSEMBLY
ROTATION.
Using two 9/16” wrenches, remove the NUT (S), METAL WASHER (T), PLASTIC WASHER (U), BOLT (V), and
SHOULDERED SLEEVE (#5) from the 14” LINK BAR ( I ) and the SMALL EXTENSION pivot point. Discard the old
SHOULDERED SLEEVE along with hardware and replace with hardware included in the kit.
