MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLE-SHOOTING

Inspect and properly 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 con- sole 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. Refer to assembly step 4 on page 5.

HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH

If the console does not display correct feedback, the reed switch should be adjusted. In order to adjust the reed switch, the Left Side Shield (4) must be removed.

Using an adjustable wrench, turn the Left Pedal (40) clockwise and remove it from the Crank (19). Next, remove the two M4 x 16mm Screws (21) and the five M4 x 38mm Screws (62) from the Left Side Shield (4). Make sure that the left arm of the Crank is in the posi- tion shown above and carefully slide the Left Side Shield forward off the arm of the Crank.

remove the M4 x 16mm Screw (21). Slide the Reed Switch slightly closer to or away from the Magnet. Retighten the Screw. Turn the Crank for a moment. Repeat until the console displays correct feedback. When the Reed Switch is correctly adjusted, reattach the left side shield and the pedal.

HOW TO ADJUST THE BELT

The recumbent cycle features a precision belt that must be kept properly adjusted. If the belt causes excessive noise or slips as you pedal, the belt should be checked. To do this, the side shields must first be removed. Refer to the instructions at the left and remove the left side shield. Remove the right side shield in the same way.

If the Belt is properly adjusted, reattach the side

 

shields and pedals. If the Belt needs to be adjusted, loosen the M8 Nylon Locknut (56) on each side of the Flywheel (70). To tighten the Belt, turn the two Adjustment Nuts (67) clockwise; to loosen the Belt, turn the Nuts counterclockwise. Make sure that the Flywheel is straight and tighten the M8 Nylon Locknuts (56). Reattach the side shields and pedals.

PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING

• Avoid moving your hands while using the pulse sen-

sor. Excessive movement may interfere with heart

rate readings. Do not hold the metal contacts too

tightly; doing so may interfere with heart rate read-

ings.

Next, locate the Reed Switch (18). Turn the Crank

(19)until the Magnet (31) is aligned with the Reed Switch. Loosen but do not

• For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the

metal contacts for about 15 seconds.

• For optimal performance of the pulse sensor, keep

the metal contacts clean. The contacts can be

cleaned with a soft cloth—never use alcohol,

abrasives, or chemicals.
