from its front edge first, then disengage its plastic tabs from the recesses on the rear of the cover (see Figure 1).
2. Remove the three self-tapping screws holding the rear cover in place, then lift it off (see Figure 2).
3. Remove the four self-tapping screws holding the left side cover in place, then pull the cover to loosen it. Guide it
around the pedal crank to remove it (see Figure 3).
4. Inside the upright support channel, remove the tape holding the base unit data cable and the heart rate sensor
cable in place.
5. For
touchscreen consoles
: Skip to the section, Rewire the bike for a touchscreen console.
For
non-touchscreen consoles only
: While your assistant holds the upright support over the equipment frame,
thread the base unit data cable and the heart rate sensor cable upward through the support and tape them to the
top of the support. No other cable wiring is required so refer to, Attach the upright support, to continue assembly.

Rewire the bike for a touchscreen console
If you are attaching a touchscreen console to your bike, follow this procedure.
To rewire the bike for a touchscreen console:
1. Slide the jack panel out of its bracket in the right side cover.
2. Remove the nut and washer from one end of the F-type coaxial coupler packed with the touchscreen console and insert that
end of the coupler through the round opening in the jack panel (see Figure 6).
3. Place the washer back onto the coaxial coupler, followed by the nut. Use two 7/16-inch open-end wrenches to secure the
coupler by holding the coupler in place with one wrench and tightening the nut with the second wrench (see Figure 6).
4. Locate the tabbed end of the Ethernet coupler and snap this end of the coupler into the square opening in the jack panel (see
Figure 7).
5. Snap the power cable connector into the inside of the jack panel.
6. Slide the quick-disconnect terminal on the grounding lead of the power cable over the grounding terminal on the equipment
frame.
7. Attach the lower ends of the Ethernet and TV cables to the inside of the jack panel.
8. Slide the jack panel back into its bracket in the right side cover.
9. Bind the upper ends of the cables together along with the data cable using a plastic tie.
10. While your assistant holds the upright support over the equipment frame, thread the cables upward through the support and
tape them to the top of the support.

To complete the console installation, refer to the Installation Guide included in your console box.
To attach the seat back:
1. Insert the lower front edge of the seat back assembly under the seat and turn it into place so that its four screw holes line up
with the holes on the seat carriage bracket (see Figure 8).
2. Attach the seat back assembly using four screws and four washers by inserting the fasteners through the holes in the
seat back assembly and thread them into the seat carriage bracket.
3. Adjust the position of the seat back, then fully tighten the screws using a 1/4-inch hex wrench.
To install the bottle holder:
1. Position the bottle holder so that it wraps around the seat back assembly and rests on the tab on the back of the assembly (see
Figure 9).
Note
The front edges of the bottle holder should rest on the handlebars and the two snap-in tabs should line up with the
small rectangular holes on the seat back assembly.
2. Press the bottle holder forward until it locks into place.
