MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLE-SHOOTING

Inspect and tighten all parts of the LIFESTYLER¨ DT1000 regularly. Replace worn parts immediately.

The DT1000 can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Keep liquid away from the electronic monitor. Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight or the display may be damaged. Remove the batteries when storing the DT1000.

ELECTRONIC MONITOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING

If the electronic monitor does not function properly, the batteries should be replaced. See assembly step 5 on page 5 for instructions. In addition, make sure that the sensor wire is connected to the wire on the monitor. See assembly step 6 on page 5.

If the electronic monitor displays incorrect information,

the reed switch should be checked. First, remove the

pedal and the side shield from one side of the exer-

cise bike.

the magnet, and tighten the screw. Make sure that

the magnet will not hit the reed switch when the

sprocket turns. Repeat until the monitor displays

correct information.

 

HOW TO TIGHTEN THE PEDALS

If the pedals become loose, refer to assembly step 8 on page 5. Tighten the pedal axles into the arms of the crank. Tighten the 1/2" locknuts on the pedal axles.

HOW TO ADJUST THE CHAIN

The exercise bike features a precision chain that must be kept properly lubricated. Apply a few drops of light multi-purpose oil to the chain every three months.

In addition, the chain must be kept properly adjusted. If the chain is too tight, the bearings may be dam- aged; if the chain is too loose, the fan may be dam- aged. If the chain causes excessive noise or slips as you pedal, check the chain in the following manner:

 

Fan

Axle Nut

Adjustment Nuts

1.Remove the fan guards from the front of the exer- cise bike. Remove the pedal and the side shield from one side of the exercise bike.

2.Press down on the center of the chain. There should be between 1/4Ó and 1Ó of vertical movement in the center of the chain. If the chain is properly adjusted, reattach the side shield, pedal, and fan guards. If the chain needs to be adjusted, see step 3.

3.Loosen both axle nuts. To tighten the chain, turn the adjustment nuts clockwise; to loosen the chain, turn the adjustment nuts counterclockwise. Make sure that the fan is straight and tighten the axle nuts. Reattach the side shield, pedal, and fan guards.
