    3    Operation Verification About Use the Operation Verification Checklist to verify the [[[Undefined variable Pro- ductInfo.EqptType]]] operation. Verify the [[[Undefined variable ProductInfo.EqptType]]] oper- ation at the completion of any maintenance procedure and when it is necessary to ensure that the [[[Undefined variable ProductInfo.EqptType]]] is operating properly. Operation Verification Checklist Do an overall visual inspection of the bike looking for any loose hardware and/or missing parts.
  • Page 15 3 Operation Verification Operation Verification Checklist Stop pedaling and wait for the pedals to completely stop. Wait 10 seconds to allow the bike to complete the power measurement auto-cal function. While continuously pedaling the bike at 60 RPM, verify that the measured workout WATTS at minimum and maximum resistance levels is within spe- cification.

  • Page 17: 4    Adjustment Procedures

    4 Adjustment Procedures About 4    Adjustment Procedures About Adjustment procedures provide you with the step-by-step adjustment instructions to bring sys- tems and components into specification. Perform the adjustment procedures whenever a trouble symptom points to a particular component and after a major component is removed/re- placed.

  • Page 18: Procedure

    An exerciser quits a workout and dismounts the bike without setting the resistance level to minimum. In this case the bike will perform an inaccurate AutoCal because the resistance was not set to minimum. The new exerciser will read inaccurate power WATTS results unless a new AutoCal is performed with the resistance set to minimum.

  • Page 19: Brake Pad Adjustment

    4 Adjustment Procedures Brake Pad Adjustment Brake Pad Adjustment This procedure provides instruction to adjust the Magnetic Brake Pads. The brake pad-flywheel gap must be correctly set to insure proper resistance level, auto-cal, and power measurement (watts). Perform the brake pad adjustment any time the brake pads are replaced or any condition were the resistance is not performing correctly or the power measurement is not being correctly computed.
  • Page 20 wheel surface. Continue sliding the fixture over the brake pad and press into position. Note: It is recommended that a magnetic gap fixture (2x) be mounted on both the left and right brake pads before starting and while performing the brake pad gap adjust- ment procedure.
  • Page 21 4 Adjustment Procedures Brake Pad Adjustment 4. Apply maximum resistance, fully turn the resistance knob in the clockwise (+) direction. 5. Adjust the left and right brake pads so that the magnetic gap fixture tool touches the fly- wheel surface. Then fully tighten the 3 mm hex key fasteners (2x per pad). 6.
  • Page 22 IMPORTANT: The resistance knob must be set to the minimum resistance level to correctly perform the auto-cal function. The WATTS parameter will be incorrectly com- puted if the resistance knob is not set to minimum resistance level during auto-cal. b. Verify the measured WATTS at minimum and maximum resistance levels: Set the resistance to minimum.
