MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLE-SHOOTING

Inspect and tighten all parts of the exercise cycle reg- ularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

The exercise cycle can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid spilling liquid on the console. Keep the console out of direct sunlight or the display may be damaged. Remove the batteries when storing the exercise cycle.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

If the console does not function properly, the batteries should be replaced. See assembly step 4 on page 5. In addition, make sure that the console wire is plugged into the console.

HOW TO TIGHTEN THE CRANK

If the arms of the crank become loose, they should be tightened in order to pre-

vent exces- sive wear. Loosen the crank nut on

the left arm of the crank.

Place the end of a standard screwdriver in one of the slots in the slotted crank nut. Lightly tap the screw- driver with a hammer to turn the slotted crank nut counterclockwise until the arms are no longer loose. Do not overtighten the slotted crank nut. When the slotted crank nut is properly tightened, retighten the crank nut.

HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE STRAP

If there is not enough pedaling resistance when the resistance knob is turned to the highest setting, the resistance strap may need to be adjusted. To adjust the resistance

strap, first turn the resistance

knob to the

lowest setting. Next, locate

the slotted tab on the front of

the exercise cycle. Grip the main part the resistance

strap underneath the slotted tab and pull it towards the slot. When a little slack is created, pull the end of the resistance strap tight and then let go of the strap. Turn the crank for a moment to make sure that there is not too much resistance.

HOW TO ADJUST THE CHAIN

The exercise cycle features a chain that must be kept properly adjusted. If the chain causes excessive noise or slips as you pedal, the chain should be adjusted.

To tighten the

 

 

 

 

chain, loosen,

 

 

 

 

but do not

 

 

 

 

remove, the

 

 

 

 

axle nuts on
