Maintenance and TROUBLE-SHOOTING

Inspect and tighten all parts of the recumbent cycle regularly. To clean the recumbent cycle, use a soft, damp cloth. To prevent damage to the console, keep liquids away from the console and keep the console out of direct sunlight.

TIGHTENING THE PEDALS

For best performance, the pedals must be kept prop- erly tightened. Regularly tighten both pedals.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

If the console does not function properly, the batteries should be replaced. To replace the batteries, refer to HOW TO REPLACE THE BATTERIES on page 9.
