CONSOLE

If the console does not function properly, the wire harness should be checked. See assembly step 4 on page 5. Make sure that the wire harness is plugged fully into the wire extending from the console.

ADJUSTING THE TENSION BELT

If the tension belt slips as you pedal, the tension belt should be tightened. First, disconnect the Link Arms (37) from the

Pedals (10) (see STATIONARY MODE on page 8). Next, remove the Pedals (see assembly step 9 on page 7). Remove the four 3/4" Phillips Screws (4) from the Left and Right Neck Shields (67, 68). Remove the #8 x 1" Screws (15) and the 3/4" Tec Screws (69) from the Left and Right Side Shields (16, 34). Slide the Side Shields off the exercise bike. To tighten the tension belt, turn both of the 3/8" Flange Nuts (18) clockwise one full turn• Repeat until the tension belt no longer slips. Reattach the Side Shields, Neck Shields and Pedals.

CENTERING THE TENSION BRACKET

If a grinding noise is heard as you pedal, the Tension Bracket (35) should be adjusted. Disconnect the link arms from the pedals, remove the pedals, and remove the side shields (see ADJUSTING THE TENSION BELT above). Hold the 3/8" x 16 Nylon Lock Nut (73) with a wrench. If the Tension Bracket is touching the right side of the Resistance Disk (22), turn the Tension Bracket.Bolt (60) clockwise until the Tension Bracket is centered. If the Tension Bracket is touching the left side of the Resistance bisk_tum the Bolt counterclockwise. Reattach the side shields, neck shields and pedals.

TIGHTENING THE CRANK ARMS

screwddver in one of the grooves in the crank nut. Lightly tap the screwdriver with a hammer to turn the crank nut

counterclockwise, until the crank arms are no longer loose• Do nqt overtighten the crank nut. When the crank nut is propedy tightened, tighten the hex nut.
