HOW TO USE THE TRAINING BIKE

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER ADAPTER
IMPORTANT: If the training bike has been exposed
to cold temperatures, allow it to warm to room tem-
perature before you plug in the power adapter (A).
If you do not do this, you may damage the console
displays or other electronic components.
Plug the power
adapter (A) into
the receptacle
on the frame
of the training
bike. Insert the
appropriate plug
adapter into the
power adapter
if necessary.
Then, plug the
power adapter into an appropriate outlet that is prop-
erly installed in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
FEATURES OF THE TRAINING BIKE
Measuring Watts
Each training bike is individually calibrated to measure
your power output and allow you to monitor your watts
and RPMs directly on the console.
By monitoring your watts and RPMs, you can see how
hard you are training and make sure that you are chal-
lenging yourself and improving.
A
The Incline System
The training bike can incline and decline up to 20 per-
cent to realistically simulate outdoor terrain. When you
create maps of your actual training routes on iFit.com
(see the console instructions beginning on page 15
for more information), the training bike will automati-
cally incline and decline to match the terrain of your
training routes.
The Handlebar Shifters
The training bike allows you to shift gears just like
you do on your road bike. The right and left handle-
bar shifters simulate front and rear derailleurs that
you can configure to match the gearing setup of your
road bike (see the console instructions below for more
information).
Pedaling Form Features
The training bike has multiple features to help you
develop correct pedaling form:
Freewheel—The training bike has a freewheel that
simulates a road bike rather than a fixed-drive spin
bike. This discourages you from letting your feet coast
through the top and bottom of your pedal stroke.
Flywheel—The flywheel on the training bike has the
correct inertia to allow you to pedal smoothly while
encouraging you to use good pedaling form.
