HelPfUl HInTs
The bike is easiest to assemble with two people.
Assemble the bike in the room where it will be used. It is portable, but it is a large
item to move from room to room or up and down stairs.
Lay out all the components of the bike before assembling. Read through these
instructions and make sure all parts are accounted for, and that you have all the nuts,
bolts and washers described on the Included Parts and Parts Package Contents pages.
When tightening screws, nuts and bolts, finger-tighten first, then use the appropriate
tool to tighten, taking turns with each until all are secure.

Attach the FRONT STABILIZER BAR to the BASE by placing it under the bracket
with the wheels towards the front of the bike, ensuring the bolt holes line up, and
inserting the 2 BOLTS (4) with their LOCKING WASHERS (6), FLAT WASHERS (5)
and NUTS (7).
Mount the REAR STABILIZER BAR to the BASE by sliding the REAR STABILIZER
BAR into the bracket on the BASE and attaching it with 4 SCREWS (10), LOCKING
WASHERS (6) and FLAT WASHERS (5).

Install the FRONT POST on the BASE by first sliding the FRONT POST COLLAR
onto the FRONT POST.
Then, connect both the RESISTANCE CABLE (see the following illustrations) and
the MONITOR WIRE from the BASE to the wire in the FRONT POST and push
them both inside the post.
With the FRONT POST COLLAR held out of the
way, secure the FRONT POST with 4 SCREWS
(10) and their LOCKING WASHERS (6) and
FLAT WASHERS (5), then slide the FRONT POST
COLLAR down to sit on the BASE.

Attach the SEAT to the SADDLE POST by tightening the bolts (already mounted
on the seat).
Slide the SEAT POST, with the SEAT front facing forward, down into the base. Insert
and twist the SEAT ADJUSTING KNOB (21) to lock the SEAT POST into position
at the correct height for you. You may also adjust the distance of the seat from the
HANDLEBARS with the pre-mounted knob under the SEAT.
IMPORTANT: Do not try to use the SEAT POST in a position in which the green band is above
the base. The green band is a marker to let you know the seat is at its highest position.
Attach the HANDLEBAR to the FRONT POST with the PULSE PADS facing up using
the HANDLEBAR ADJUSTER (30) and FLAT WASHER (5). Make sure to hold onto the
HANDLEBARS as they may shift while you tighten the screw. Plug the HAND-PULSE
WIRE into the jack on the back of the MONITOR.

Remove the pre-mounted screws on the back of the MONITOR. Attach the MONITOR
WIRES to the wire in the FRONT POST, and tuck them down in the post, ensuring the
PULSE PAD wire runs through the indent on the bottom of the MONITOR. Tighten these
screws with the included screwdriver.
Install the FOOT STRAPS on the 2 PEDALS, positioning the side of the strap with
the multiple holes on the outside, for adjustment. The PEDALS are marked with L
and R for left and right.
Insert the right PEDAL into the right POST on the BASE and tighten by turning it
clockwise. The thread on the PEDAL should not be visible. Do the same for the left
PEDAL. However, turn it counterclockwise to tighten. Finish by tightening both
PEDALS to the posts, in the right direction as explained above, with the
included wrench.
