2.3: How to Stabilize the Upright Cycle

Read the entire manual before setting up the cycle. After following all Safety Instructions, move the cycle to the location where it will be used. Allow a clearance of 2 ft. (60 cm) in the directions the cycle is accessed from and 3 ft. (100 cm) between the front or rear of the cycle or any other objects.

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 leg leveler to lower it. Verify that the cycle 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.

3.10: How to Adjust Seat Position

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.
  1. Sit on the seat and place the balls of the feet on the pedals.
    Note: An optimum position allows movement through the bottom of the stroke without locking the knees, shifting in the seat or forcefully extending the hips. The knees should have a slight bend at the point of fullest leg extension.
  2. If the seat needs to be adjusted lower, lift the spring-loaded adjusting handle located underneath the nose of the seat.
    Caution: Do not attempt to adjust the seat while pedaling the bike or sitting on the seat. Doing so may cause injury or result in an uncomfortable workout.

  6. Check the seat distance and readjust as necessary.
  7. If the seat needs to be adjusted higher, grab the seat and slide it up to the proper position. When adjusting the seat to a higher position, the user does not have to lift the adjusting handle.

3.11: 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.

Symbio™ Upright Lifecycle®

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.

6.2: Preventive Maintenance Tips

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.

6.3: 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.

6.4: 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.

6.5: 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.
