1.3: Where to Place Unit

Read the entire manual before setting up the bike. After following all Safety Instructions, move the bike to the location where it will be used. Allow a clearance of 2 ft. (0.6 m) in the directions the bike is accessed from and 3 ft. (1 m) between the front or rear of the bike or any other objects.

Free area

1.4: How to Stabilize the Unit

After placing the unit in position, check the unit’s stability by attempting to rock it from side to side. Any slight rocking indicates that the unit must be leveled. Determine which foot is not resting completely on the floor. Loosen the jam nut with an open-end M17 wrench and rotate the stabilizing foot to lower it. Verify that the bike is stable, and repeat the adjustment as necessary until the unit no longer rocks. Lock the adjustment by tightening the jam nut against the stabilizing bar.

Item	Description
1	Jam Nut
2	Stabilizing Leg

Note: Stabilize the bike each time the unit is relocated.

1.5: Starting Up Bike Console

When a user begins pedaling, the unit’s Auto-Start feature powers up the console, causing the console display to light up and the MESSAGE CENTER to flash a prompt: SELECT WORKOUT USING ARROW KEYS OR PRESS QUICK START. If the user does not make a selection in 20 seconds, the console automatically starts a MANUAL workout. If the user stops pedaling for more than 15 seconds, the console shuts down. Alternately, the user may press the POWER ON key to power up the console.

1.6: Using the Power Assist Option

The units optional Power Assist feature makes it possible for the console to be powered by an external electrical source, eliminating the need to pedal at a minimum speed to supply constant power to the console. With this option, users who wish to ride the bike for rehabilitative exercise may pedal at a rate below the minimum without losing console power.

Enabling the Power Assist option requires an optional kit. Contact Customer Support Services to order the kit.

2.2: How to Adjust Pedal Straps

The bike pedal straps keep the user’s shoes on the pedals during a workout. The straps should fit comfortably but tight enough to prevent shoes from slipping at any point in the pedaling rotation. A user should test and adjust the tightness of the straps before starting a workout.

Use one hand to push the strap latch upward to loosen the ribbed strap. Use the other hand to pull the ribbed strap out from underneath the strap latch. Rest the foot on the pedal. Wrap the ribbed strap over the foot to determine the desired length. Push the strap latch upward and thread the ribbed strap through the strap latch to select the appropriate slot. Let go of the strap latch to secure position.

1	Strap	2
2	Clip	2

2.3: How to Adjust Seat

A properly adjusted seat is important in any bike-oriented exercise activity. If the seat is too close, excessive strain will be placed on the knees and quadriceps muscles. If the seat is too far, the resulting reaching action will irritate the feet, ankles, hips and knees.

Sit on the seat and place the balls of the feet on the pedals. An optimum position allows movement through the bottom of the stroke without locking the knees or shifting in the seat. The knees should have a slight bend at the point of fullest leg extension.

If the seat needs to be adjusted, lift the spring-loaded adjusting handle located right, front side of the seat. Slide the seat forward and backward as necessary to the proper position. Release the handle to complete engagement. Gently slide the seat forward and backward a small distance to ensure it is locked into place. Check the seat distance and re-adjust as necessary.

Caution: Do not attempt to adjust the seat while pedaling the bike. Doing so may cause injury or result in an uncomfortable workout.

Note: Safety of the equipment can be maintained only if the equipment is examined regularly for damage or wear. Keep the equipment out of use until defective parts are repaired or replaced. Pay special attention to parts that are subject to wear, as outlined below.

Note: Pour assurer la sécurité du matériel, il convient de l’inspecter régulièrement afin de déceler tout signe d’usure ou d’endommagement. N’utilisez pas l’appareil avant d’avoir réparé ou remplacé les pièces défectueuses. Portez une attention toute particulière aux pièces qui s’usent, comme indiqué ci-dessous.

The following preventive maintenance tips will keep the product operating at peak performance:

Locate the product in a cool, dry place.
Clean the display console and all exterior surfaces with an approved or compatible cleaner (see Approved and Compatible Cleaners) and a microfiber cloth.
Long fingernails may damage or scratch the surface of the console; use the pad of the finger to press the selection buttons on the console.
Clean the top surface of the pedals regularly.

Note: When cleaning the exterior of the unit, a non-abrasive cleaner and soft cotton cloth are strongly recommended. At no time should cleaner be applied directly to any part of the equipment.

4.3: Approved and Compatible Cleaners

Two preferred cleaners have been approved by reliability experts: PureGreen 24 and Gym Wipes. Both cleaners will safely and effectively remove dirt, grime and sweat from equipment. PureGreen 24 and the Antibacterial Force formula of Gym Wipes are both disinfectants that are effective against MRSA and H1N1.

PureGreen 24 is available in a spray which is convenient for gym staff to use. Apply the spray to a microfiber cloth and wipe down the equipment. Use PureGreen 24 on the equipment for at least 2 minutes for general disinfection purposes and at least 10 minutes for fungus and viral control.

Gym Wipes are large, durable pre-moistened wipes to use on the equipment before and after workouts. Use Gym Wipes on the equipment for at least 2 minutes for general disinfection purposes.

Contact Customer Support Services to order these cleaners (1-800-351-3737 or email: customersupport@lifefitness.com).

Mild soap and water or a mild non-abrasive household cleaner can also be used to clean the display and all exterior surfaces. Use a soft microfiber cloth only. Apply the cleaner to the microfiber cloth before cleaning. DO NOT use ammonia or acid based cleaners. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners. DO NOT use paper towels. DO NOT apply cleaners directly to the equipment surfaces.

4.4: Troubleshooting the Polar® Heart Rate Chest Strap

Heart rate reading is erratic or absent entirely

Probable Cause	Corrective Action
Belt transmitter electrodes are not wet enough to pick up accurate heart rate readings.	Wet the belt transmitter electrodes.
Belt transmitter electrodes are not laying flat against the skin.	Ensure the belt transmitter electrodes are laying flat against the skin.
Belt transmitter needs cleaning.	Wash the belt transmitter with mild soap and water.
Belt transmitter not properly set up.	Setup of the belt transmitter is accomplished by initially bringing it with in 1 foot / 30.5 cm of the receiver. The receiver is in the console. After the heart rate is displayed on the console the range is extended to 3 feet / 91.4 cm.
Chest strap battery is depleted.	Contact Customer Support Services for instructions on how to have the chest strap replaced.

Abnormally elevated heart rate readings

Probable Cause	Corrective Action
Electromagnetic interference from: Television sets and / or antennas Cell phones Computers Cars High voltage power lines Motor driven exercise equipment	Move the exercise equipment a few inches away from the probable cause, or move the probable cause a few inches away from the exercise equipment, until the heart rate readings are accurate.

4.5: Troubleshoot the Lifepulse™ Sensors

If the heart rate reading is erratic or missing, do the following:

Dry the hands to prevent slipping.
Apply hands to the sensors that are set into the handlebars.
Grasp the sensors firmly.
Apply constant pressure around the sensors.

4.6: How to Obtain Product Service

Verify the symptom and review the operating instructions. The problem may be unfamiliarity with the product and its features and workouts.
Locate and write down the serial number of the unit which is located on the top right of the front stabilizer.
