MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance is important for optimal
performance and to reduce wear. Inspect and properly
tighten all parts each time the exercise bike is used.
Replace any worn parts immediately.
To clean the exercise bike, use a damp cloth and a
small amount of mild soap. IMPORTANT: To avoid
damage to the console, keep liquids away from
the console and keep the console out of direct
sunlight.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Most console problems are the result of low batteries.
To replace the batteries, see assembly step 6 on
page 10.
HOW TO TIGHTEN THE CRANK
If the arms of the crank become loose, they should be
tightened in order to prevent excessive wear.
To tighten the
arms of the crank,
first loosen the
crank nut (A) on
the left arm of
the crank (B).
Next, place the
end of a standard
screwdriver in
one of the slots in
the slotted crank
nut (C). Then,
lightly tap the
screwdriver with a
hammer to turn the slotted crank nut counterclockwise
until the arms are no longer loose. Do not overtighten
the slotted crank nut. When the slotted crank nut is
properly tightened, retighten the crank nut.

HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE STRAP
If there is not enough pedaling resistance when the
resistance knob is turned to the highest setting, the
resistance strap may need to be adjusted.
To adjust the
resistance strap
(D), first turn
the resistance
knob coun-
terclockwise
to the lowest
setting. Next,
locate the slot-
ted tab (E) on
the front of the
exercise bike. Grip the longest part of the resistance
strap underneath the slotted tab and pull it towards the
slot. When a little slack is created, pull the end of the
resistance strap tight. Turn the crank for a moment to
make sure that there is not too much resistance.
HOW TO ADJUST THE CHAIN
The exercise bike features a chain that must be kept
properly adjusted. If the chain causes excessive noise
or slips as you pedal, the chain should be adjusted.
To tighten the
chain, first
slightly loosen
the axle nuts
(F) on both
sides of the
flywheel (G).
Next, pull
the flywheel
forward slightly.
Make sure that
the flywheel is
straight. Then,
retighten the axle nuts.
