ASSEMBLY

Assembly requires two persons. Place all parts of the exercise cycle in a cleared area and remove the packing

materials. Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed.

Assembly requires the included tools and your own adjustable spanners and Phillips screwdriver .

Use the part drawings below to identify the small parts used in assembly. The number in parenthesis below each drawing refers to the key number of the part, from the PART LIST on page 26. The second number refers to the quantity needed for assembly. Note: Some small parts may have been pre-attached for shipping. If a part is

not in the parts bag, check to see if it has been pre-attached.

3. Whilst another person holds the Upright (13) in the

position shown, connect the Upper Wire Harness (36) to the Lower Wire Harness (35). Carefully pull the

upper end of the Upper Wire Harness to remove any slack from the Wire Harnesses; make sure that the connectors do not catch on the indicated rod.

Turn the indicated Adjustment Knob (28) counterclockwise two or three turns to loosen it. Next, pull the Knob, insert the Upright (13) into the Frame (1), and then release the Knob. Be careful to avoid pinching the

Wire Harnesses (35, 36). Move the Upright up and down slightly until the pin on the Knob snaps into one of the holes in the Upright. Then, turn the Knob

clockwise until it is tight. Tighten the M6 x 25.4mm Button Screw (33) into the

Frame (1) and into the slot in the side of the Upright (13).

4. The Console (16) requires four 1.5V “D” batteries;

alkaline batteries are recommended. Press the tab on the battery cover, and lift off the battery cover. Insert four batteries into the battery compartment. Make sure

that the batteries are oriented as shown by the markings inside the battery compartment. Reattach

the battery cover.

6. Whilst another person holds the Console (16) in the

position shown, connect the wire harness on the Console to the Upper Wire Harness (36). Insert the excess wire harness into the Upright (13).

Attach the Console (16) to the Upright (13) with three M10 x 27mm Button Screws (51) and three M10 Black Split Washers (50). Be careful to avoid pinching the

wire harnesses.

Snap the bookrack onto the Console (16) in the indicated location.

7. Turn the indicated Adjustment Knob (28) counterclock-

wise two or three turns to loosen it. Next, pull the Knob, insert the Seat Post (5) into the Frame (1), and then release the Knob. Move the Seat Post up and down

slightly until the pin on the Knob snaps into one of the holes in the Seat Post. Then, turn the Knob clock-

wise until it is tight.

8. Attach the Seat (12) to the Seat Bracket (6) with four

M8 Nylon Locknuts (10) and four M8 Split Washers (70). Note: The Nylon Locknuts and the Split Washers may be pre-attached to the underside of the Seat.

Turn the Seat Adjustment Knob (9) counterclockwise two or three turns to loosen it. Next, pull the Knob, slide the Seat Bracket (6) into the top of the Seat Post (5), and then release the Knob. Move the Seat Bracket

forward and backward slightly until the pin on the Knob snaps into one of the holes in the Seat Bracket. Then, turn the Knob clockwise until it is tight.

5. Connect the wire harness on the Handgrip Pulse

Sensor (15) to the indicated wire harness on the Console (16). Insert both wire harnesses into the opening in the bottom of the Console. Then, insert the metal tube on the Handgrip Pulse Sensor into the opening in the bottom of the console. Be careful not to pinch

the wire harnesses.

See the inset drawing. Tighten an M4 x 16mm Screw (66) into the indicated bracket on the Console (16) and into the metal tube on the Handgrip Pulse Sensor (15).

10. Make sure that all parts are properly tightened before you use the exercise cycle. Note: After assembly is

completed, some extra parts may be left over. Place a mat beneath the exercise cycle to protect the floor.

9. Identify the Left Pedal (24), which is marked with an

“L.” Using an adjustable wrench, firmly tighten the Left Pedal counterclockwise into the Left Crank Arm (42). Tighten the Right Pedal (not shown) clockwise into the Right Crank Arm. Important: Tighten both

Pedals as firmly as possible. After using the exercise cycle for one week, retighten the Pedals. For best performance, the Pedals must be kept tightened.

Adjust the Left Pedal Strap (25) to the desired position, and press the end of the Pedal Strap onto the tab on the Left Pedal (24). Adjust the Right Pedal Strap (not shown) in the same way.

HOW TO USE THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR

HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR

The chest pulse sensor consists of two components: the chest strap and the sensor unit. Follow the steps below to put on the chest pulse sensor.

See the inset drawing above. Insert the tab on one end of the chest strap through one end of the sensor unit. Press the end of the sensor unit under the buckle on the chest strap.

Wrap the chest pulse sensor around your chest. Attach the free end of the chest strap to the sensor unit as described above. Adjust the length of the chest strap, if necessary. The chest pulse sensor should be under your clothes, against your skin, and as high under the pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable. Make sure that the logo is right-side-up and facing forward.

Pull the sensor unit away from your body a few inches and locate the two electrode areas on the inner side. Using a saline solution such as saliva or contact lens solution, wet both electrode areas. Return the sensor unit to a position against your chest.

CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING

If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly, or if the displayed heart rate is excessively high or low, try the troubleshooting steps below.

• Make sure that you are wearing the chest pulse sensor as described at the left. If the chest pulse sensor does not function when positioned as described, move it slightly lower or higher on your chest.

• Each time you use the chest pulse sensor, use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens solution to wet the two electrode areas on the sensor unit (see the drawing below). If heart rate readings do not appear until you begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.

• Make sure that you are within arm’s length of the console. For the console to display heart rate

readings, the user must be within arm’s length of the console.

• If you wear the chest pulse sensor and hold the handgrip pulse sensor at the same time, the console may not display your heart rate accurately.

• The chest pulse sensor is designed to work with people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate reading problems may be caused by medical conditions such as premature ventricular contractions (pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.

• The operation of the chest pulse sensor can be affected by magnetic interference caused by high power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that magnetic interference may be causing a problem, try relocating your exercise equipment.

• If the chest pulse sensor still does not function properly, test the chest pulse sensor in the following way:

Hold the chest pulse sensor and place your thumbs over the electrode areas as shown. Next, hold the chest pulse sensor near the console. Whilst holding one thumb stationary, begin tapping the other thumb against the electrode area at a rate of about one tap per second. Check the heart rate reading on the console.

• If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly

after you have followed all of the above instructions, the battery should be replaced in the following way:

Locate the battery cover on the back of the sensor unit. Insert a coin into the slot in the cover, turn the cover counterclockwise, and remove the cover.

Remove the old battery and insert a new CR 2032 battery. Make sure that

the battery is turned so the writing is on top.

Replace the battery cover and turn it clockwise to close it.

CHEST PULSE SENSOR CARE

• Thoroughly dry the chest pulse sensor after each

use. The chest pulse sensor is activated when the electrode areas are wetted and the chest pulse sensor is put on; the chest pulse sensor shuts off when it is removed and the electrode areas are dried. If the chest pulse sensor is not dried after each use, it may remain activated longer than necessary, draining the battery prematurely.

• Store the chest pulse sensor in a warm, dry place.

Do not store the chest pulse sensor in a plastic bag or other container that may trap moisture.

• Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct

sunlight for extended periods of time. Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to temperatures above 50° C (122° F) or below -10° C (14° F).

• Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit

when using or storing the chest pulse sensor.

• Clean the sensor unit using a damp cloth—never

use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. The chest strap may be hand washed and air dried.
