2.3: How to Stabilize the Recumbent 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. (0.6 m) in the directions the cycle is accessed from and 3 ft. (1 m) between the front or rear of the cycle or any other objects.

Free area

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 17 mm wrench and rotate the stabilizing foot 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.

Item Description Qty.
1 Jam Nut 4
2 Stabilizing Leg 4

2.4: Electrical Power Requirements (Applicable for Units Using External Power Supply)

  • Units equipped with SL Consoles are self powered. An optional external power supply brick is available for purchase if desired.
  • Units equipped with SE4 Consoles require a 24 VDC power supply.

Warning: Use only the supplied power brick and line cord. Do not use any modification to connect to a 2-prong outlet. Product must be connected to a properly rated 3-prong outlet.
Console Supply Voltage Frequency Output Voltage Output Current
SL / SE4 100 - 240 VAC 50 - 60 Hz 24 VDC 3.75 A
Outlet Voltage Commercial Units Outlet & Breaker (Amps) Consumer / Home Units Outlet & Breaker (Amps)
120 VAC 20 (no more than 8 bikes per breaker) 15 (no more than 6 bikes per breaker)
230 VAC 12 (no more than 8 bikes per breaker) 12 (no more than 8 bikes per breaker)
Note: Do not modify the plug provided with this product. If the plug does not fit into an available electrical outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Note: Make sure the power brick cord is securely connected to the base unit. A loose connection may result in the unit not receiving external power.

2.5: Check for Console Power

The SL console is powered by a rechargeable 6-volt battery. Check the battery by pressing the GO button. The console should beep and light up. The console will display the Life Fitness logo. If a prompt doesn’t appear, mount the unit and begin pedaling. The console should light up and programming a workout should be possible. Pedal for 10 - 20 minutes at 50 rpm or faster during a workout for optimum battery charging. The pedal action during workouts keeps the battery charged. Optional external power supply can be used. If the unit is externally powered, battery maintenance is automatic and pedaling is not required. Use only the power supply provided by Life Fitness to insure against unsafe operation.

2.6: Power Assist Option / External Power Supply

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

Plug the power to the external power connector on the front end of the bike. Plug the cord into an AC outlet. Use only the external power supply provided by Life Fitness in order to insure against unsafe operation.

Caution: Connectors should easily fit into the receptacles. Forcing a connection may lead to damage to the barrel connector and/or receptacle and may void product warranty. If the power supply barrel doesn’t fit easily into the receptacle then the wrong power supply is being used.

The Power Assist feature option requires an optional kit. Contact Life Fitness Customer Support Services to order the kit.

3.3: 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 on the right side of the seat. Hold the handle with one hand and use the other hand to grab the rear 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 readjust 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.
Item Description Qty.
1 Seat Adjustment Handle 1

3.4: 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.

DO NOT apply cleaners directly to the equipment surfaces.

7.4: 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:
