Locking The Flywheel For Storage - Nautilus Schwinn 800IC Service Manual

4. Practice engaging and disengaging from the Pedals before starting your workout.
To disengage (release) the cleats from the pedals, push the heels outward and lift.
If the body weight of a user is very low, the user may have difficulty with operation of the
engagement/release mechanism in the Pedals. It may be necessary to decrease the
retention force of the mechanism. To adjust the retention:
1. Locate the opening in the rear of the Pedal for access to the adjustment bolt. It is
between the 2 screws that attach the Foot Restraint to the Pedal.
2. Use a 3mm hex wrench to turn the adjustment bolt. To decrease the retention, turn it
left (counterclockwise). To increase the retention, turn it right (clockwise).
Handlebar Adjustment
To adjust the handlebar position:
1. Loosen the Handlebar Post Adjustment Knob on the Handlebar Post. Adjust the Handlebar
to the desired height.
Do not lift the Handlebar Post above the "STOP" mark on the Handlebar Post.
2. Tighten the Handlebar Post Adjustment Knob to engage the locking pin. Be sure that the
pin is fully engaged and fully tighten the adjustment knob.
NOTICE: Do not crimp the cables.
3. To move the Handlebar closer to, or away from the console, loosen the Handlebar
Adjustment Knob. Slide the Handlebar to the desired position and fully tighten the knob.
Note: If the handle cannot turn due to collision with another part, pull the handle, turn and push it
back in to reposition it. Continue turning as needed.

Locking the Flywheel for Storage

When the machine is not in use, be sure to lock the Flywheel with the Emergency Brake/Resistance Adjustment Knob.
To lock the Flywheel, turn the Emergency Brake/Resistance Adjustment Knob clockwise until it encounters an increase in
resistance. Then rotate the Emergency Brake/Resistance Adjustment Knob another 1/2 turn clockwise. The Flywheel is
now locked. The flywheel should be locked for storage of the machine.
For safe storage of the machine, remove the power supply and place in a secure location. Tighten the
Brake/Resistance Adjustment Knob as described until the Flywheel is locked. Place the machine in a secure
location away from children and pets.
With the Flywheel locked, the level of resistance will be out of the range of operation displayed by the Console. Do not
use the machine with the level of resistance outside of the 0% - 100% range. This will damage the ability to quickly stop
the Flywheel during an emergency, and the effectiveness of securing the bike for storage. Turn the Emergency Brake/
Resistance Adjustment Knob until the LEVEL displayed on the Console is less than 100%. The resistance is now in the
designed range of operation for the bike.
Changing Unit Measures (English Imperial/Metric)
The units of measurement can be switched between kilometers and miles before you start a workout. To change the units,
push UP and DOWN together and hold 3 seconds. When the display begins to blink, use the arrow button to change the
units (KM or MI). Push any button to save.
