HOW TO ADJUST THE LEFT CRANK ARM

If the Left Crank Arm (21) feels loose while you are pedaling, first loosen the two M6 x 25mm Screws (96). Then, follow the steps below. Note: If you have a torque wrench, tighten the Screws (15, 96) to the listed torque specs. If you do not have a torque wrench, simply tighten the Screws as firmly as you can.

1. Tighten the M12 Crank Screw (15) counterclockwise to 7 Nm (5 ft-lbs).
2. Tighten each M6 x 25mm Screw (96) to 20 Nm (15 ft-lbs). Then, tighten each M6 x 25mm Screw a second time to 20 Nm (15 ft-lbs) in the same order.
3. Finally, tighten the M12 Crank Screw (15) counter- clockwise to 50 Nm (37 ft-lbs).

Then, carefully pull the tops of the Right and Left Shields (30, 32) apart a few inches.

See the inset drawing. Slightly loosen the two indicated #8 x 1/2" Screws (57). Next, rotate the Left Crank Arm (21) until a Pulley Magnet (137) is aligned with the Reed Switch (115). Slide the Reed Switch slightly toward or away from the Pulley Magnet. Then, retighten the Screws.

Plug in the power cord and rotate the Left Crank Arm (21) for a moment. Repeat these actions until the console displays correct feedback.
When the reed switch is correctly adjusted, reattach the Right and Left Shields (30, 32).

HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT

If you feel the pedals slip while you are pedaling, even when the resistance is adjusted to the highest setting, the drive belt may need to be adjusted.

To adjust the drive belt, first unplug the power cord. Then, follow the instructions below. Note: The drawings show only the right side of the studio cycle.
Remove the indicated #8 x 5/8" Screw (17) and the Shield Cover (31) from each side of the studio cycle.
Next, loosen the M10 Axle Nut (27) on each side of the studio cycle, and tighten the Adjustment Nut (26) on each side of the studio cycle one half turn. Then, firmly retighten the M10 Axle Nuts.
Plug in the power cord and pedal the studio cycle to test the adjustment. If necessary, repeat the above actions until the pedals no longer slip.
When the drive belt is properly adjusted, reattach the shield covers.

TROUBLESHOOTING

CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING

If the console does not turn on, make sure that the power cord is fully plugged in and that the power switch is in the reset position. If there are exterior wires on the console, make sure that the connectors on the wires are oriented correctly and are connected firmly.
If you are having problems connecting the console to a wireless network or if you are having problems with your iFit account or iFit workouts, go to support.iFit.com.

If the Console (10) does not stay in place when it is moved to the desired position, tighten the indicated M8 Locknut (99) slightly until the Console stays in place.

If the console does not boot up properly, or if the console freezes and does not respond, reset the console to the factory default settings.

Doing this will erase all custom settings you have made to the console.

Resetting the console requires two people. First, press the power switch and unplug the power cord. Next, locate the small reset opening (A) on the top of the console.

Using a bent paper clip, press and hold the reset button inside the opening (A), and have a second person plug in the power cord and press the power switch. Continue holding the reset button until the console turns on. When the reset operation is complete, the console will turn off and then turn back on. If it does not, press the power switch off and then on again. Once the console turns on, check for fi rmware updates (see HOW TO CHANGE CONSOLE SETTINGS). Note: It may take a few minutes for the console to be ready for use.

INCLINE SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING

Note: When the studio cycle is declined or extremely inclined, the range of resistance levels may decrease.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons over age 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.

These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a reputable book or consult your physician. Remember, proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for successful results.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper intensity is the key to achieving results. You can use your heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level. The chart below shows recommended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise.

To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). The three numbers listed above your age define your "training zone." The lowest number is the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.

Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest number in your training zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your heart rate near the middle number in your training zone.

Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the highest number in your training zone.

HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE

To measure your heart rate, exercise for at least four minutes. Then, stop exercising and place two fingers on your wrist as shown. Take a six-second heartbeat count, and multiply the result by 10 to find your heart rate. For example, if your six-second heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate is 140 beats per minute.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.

Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise; never hold your breath.

Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY

To maintain or improve your condition, complete three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest between workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES

The correct form for several basic stretches is shown below. Move slowly as you stretch; never bounce.

1. Toe Touch Stretch
   Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees and back.
2. Hamstring Stretch
   Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg. Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back and groin.
3. Calf/Achilles Stretch
   With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons and ankles.
4. Quadriceps Stretch
   With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
5. Inner Thigh Stretch
   Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward. Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
