Theory of Operations The following is a theory of operation that encompasses all the electrical components, their functions, and how they interact with each other. Independent electrical components found in SCIFIT’s Cordless product line: Lower PCB (Power Supply) Upper PCB (Display)

The battery is charged anytime there is more than 13 RPM’s present. Stopping the unit When pedaling is discontinued, the brake continues to spin. The battery will engage once the actual RPM’s dip below 13. The battery remains active for 15 seconds and then a transistor that connects the battery to the rest of the lower PCB is unlatched.

User Setup (Use this procedure for PROII’s thru serial number 650- 005503.) User Setup provides club owners and managers with certain information about their equipment and enables them to customize certain features. Provide power to the console by either plugging the wall pack into the machine and outlet or working out at a low level on the machine.

previous screens is to enter the User Setup again and move through all the parameters. Pressing ENTER for any message that is empty or invalid will tell the system that message number is the ending message and the scrolling will stop with the previously set message. Pressing ENTER on the 25 screen, the program will advance to the next parameter (Hour Meter) since that is the end of the available memory.

5. Message: If a message has not been entered or is invalid, the upper display will show “NO MESSAGE”. The TIME window will display the message screen number. The screen number range is ct1 through ct25. Each message screen has 10 characters so the total message can have up to 250 characters.
Adjustments and Parts Replacement Upper (Display) PCB Replacement (Use this procedure for PROII’s thru 650-005503.) 1.

Adjustable Crank Locking Pin Removal / Replacement To Remove Locking Pin 1. Remove crank retaining bolts and washers, using a 5/32” Allen wrench. 2. On the upper crank hub (A1884 or A1885), pull the black knob on the locking pin assembly (A1754) out and slide the crank assembly (A1869 or A1870) out.
Page 37
To Install Locking Pin 1. Make sure threads in the upper or lower crank hub are clean and free of debris. 2. Place a small amount of green loc-tite on the threads of the locking pin assembly. Note: Do not get loc-tite on any area except the threads. This will cause the locking pin to bind up later.
Page 38
Adjustable Crank Removal and Replacement To Remove Cranks: 1. Remove crank retaining bolts and washers, using a 5/32” Allen wrench. 2. On the upper crank hub (A1884 or A1885), pull the black knob on the locking pin assembly (A1754) out and slide the crank assembly (A1869 or A1870) out.
Page 39
3. Install foot crank assemblies (A1867 and A1868). With the arm in the down position, the foot crank assembly on that same side must be inserted into the holes in the hub from the side opposite the user. 4. Verify locking pin assemblies are seating properly before using the unit. Note: It is optional whether to reinstall the crank retaining bolts and washers.

End Cap Replacement / Adjustment 1. Position an object under the frame leg to elevate the end cap (A1890). 2. Pull the rubber end cap off the end of the frame leg. For older versions with plastic end caps, a plastic or rubber mallet may be needed to tap on the inner lip of the end cap until it comes off the frame leg.
