HOW TO SET UP THE EXERCISE CYCLE

HOW TO MOVE AND LEVEL THE EXERCISE
CYCLE

Before moving the exercise cycle, make sure

hat the power cord is unplugged. Note: If a

t

CATV cable is connected to the exercise cycle, it
may be necessary to disconnect the cable if the ex­ercise cycle will be moved far.

Due to the size and weight of the exercise cycle,
moving it requires two persons. While one person

lifts the indicated end, firmly hold the handlebar and
tip the exercise cycle forward until it rolls on the front
wheels. Carefully move the exercise cycle to the de­sired location and then lower it to the level position.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, use ex­treme caution while moving the exercise cycle.
Do not attempt to move the exercise cycle over
uneven surfaces.

If the exercise cycle rocks slightly during use, turn
the leveling feet under the front and rear of the
frame until the rocking motion is eliminated.
