HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
This product must be grounded. If it should mal-
function or break down, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk
of electric shock. The power cord has a plug with a
grounding pin.
Plug the
power cord
into an
appropriate
outlet that
is properly
installed and
grounded in
accordance
with all local
codes and
ordinances. The outlet must be on a nominal 120-volt
circuit.
A temporary
adapter may
be used to
connect the
power cord
to a 2-pole
receptacle
as shown
at the right
if a properly
grounded
outlet is not
available.
The lug or wire extending from the adapter must
be connected with a metal screw to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box covers are not
grounded. Before using an adapter, contact a quali-
fied electrician to determine whether the outlet
box cover is grounded before using an adapter.
The temporary adapter should be used only until
a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician.
HOW TO USE THE TRAINING BIKE
DANGER: Improper connection of
the power cord increases the risk of electric
shock. Do not modify the plug; if it will not fit
an outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician. If you are unsure whether
the product is properly grounded, contact a
qualified electrician.

FEATURES OF THE TRAINING BIKE
Measuring Watts
Each training bike is individually calibrated to measure
your power output and allow you to monitor your watts
and RPMs directly on the console.
By monitoring your watts and RPMs, you can see how
hard you are training and make sure that you are chal-
lenging yourself and improving.
The Incline System
The training bike can incline and decline up to 20 per-
cent to realistically simulate outdoor terrain. When you
create maps of your actual training routes on iFit.com
(see the console instructions beginning on page 22
for more information), the training bike will automati-
cally incline and decline to match the terrain of your
training routes.
Pedaling Form Features
The training bike has multiple features to help you
develop correct pedaling form:
Freewheel—The training bike has a freewheel that
simulates a road bike rather than a fixed-drive spin
bike. This discourages you from letting your feet coast
through the top and bottom of your pedal stroke.
Flywheel—The flywheel on the training bike has the
correct inertia to allow you to pedal smoothly while
encouraging you to use good pedaling form.
HOW TO ADJUST THE GEOMETRY OF THE
TRAINING BIKE
The training bike can be adjusted to promote correct
form and to ensure proper training of the muscles.
Note: Make adjustments in small increments, and
then pedal the training bike to test the adjustments.
How to Adjust the Angle of the Saddle
You can adjust the angle of the saddle to the posi-
tion that is most comfortable. You can also adjust the
saddle forward or backward for increased comfort or to
adjust the distance to the handlebar.
To adjust the sad-
dle, first loosen the
attachment hard-
ware (A) beneath
the saddle a few
turns. Next, tilt the
saddle upward or
downward or slide
the saddle forward
or backward. Then,
retighten the attachment hardware.
Note: You can remove the saddle and attach your
own saddle if desired.
How to Adjust the Saddle Carriage
To adjust the posi-
tion of the saddle
carriage (B), loosen
the adjustment
handle (C), move
the saddle car-
riage forward or
backward, and then
retighten the adjust-
ment handle.
Note: The adjustment handle functions like a ratchet.
Turn the adjustment handle in the desired direction,
pull it outward, turn it in the opposite direction, push it
inward, and then turn it in the desired direction again.
Repeat this process as many times as necessary.

How to Adjust the Saddle Post
For effective train-
ing, the saddle
should be at the
proper height. As
you pedal, there
should be a slight
bend in your knees
when the pedals are
in the lowest posi-
tion. To adjust the
height of the saddle
post (D), loosen the
adjustment handle
(E), move the sad-
dle post upward or downward, and then retighten the
adjustment handle. When you are finished tighten-
ing the adjustment handle, make sure that the end
of the adjustment handle is pointing upward.
Note: The adjustment handle functions like a ratchet.
Turn the adjustment handle in the desired direction,
pull it outward, turn it in the opposite direction, push it
inward, and then turn it in the desired direction again.
Repeat this process as many times as necessary.
How to Adjust the Rotation of the Handlebar
To rotate the
handlebar (F),
loosen the indicated
screws (G), rotate
the handlebar to the
desired position,
and then retighten
the screws.
How to Adjust the Handlebar Post
To adjust the height
of the handlebar
post (H), loosen
the adjustment
handle (I), move
the handlebar post
upward or down-
ward, and then
retighten the adjust-
ment handle.
Note: The adjustment handle functions like a ratchet.
Turn the adjustment handle in the desired direction,
pull it outward, turn it in the opposite direction, push it
inward, and then turn it in the desired direction again.
Repeat this process as many times as necessary.
How to Adjust the Handlebar Carriage
To adjust the
position of the
handlebar carriage
(J), loosen the indi-
cated screws (K),
move the handlebar
carriage forward
or backward to the
desired position,
and then retighten
the screws.
How to Adjust the Position of the Console
The console (L) can
be tilted upward and
downward and can
be pivoted from side
to side. To adjust
the console, hold
the sides of the
console and move
it to the desired
position.

HOW TO USE THE TABLET HOLDER
IMPORTANT: The tablet holder is designed for use
with most full-size tablets. Do not place any other
electronic device or object in the tablet holder.
To insert a tab-
let into the tablet
holder (M), set the
bottom edge of the
tablet in the tray.
Then, pull the clip
over the top edge
of the tablet. Make
sure that the tablet
is firmly secured
in the tablet holder. Rotate the tablet holder to the
desired angle. Reverse these actions to remove the
tablet from the tablet holder.
HOW TO LEVEL THE TRAINING BIKE
If the training bike
rocks slightly on
your floor during
use, turn one or
both of the leveling
feet (N) on the rear
stabilizer until the
rocking motion is
eliminated.
HOW TO USE THE PEDALS
To use the pedals
(O), insert your
shoes into the toe
cages and pull the
ends of the toe
straps. To adjust the
toe straps, press
and hold the tabs
on the buckles,
adjust the toe straps
to the desired
position, and then
release the tabs.
Note: You can attach your own pedals to the training
bike if desired.
HOW TO USE THE HAND WEIGHTS
To add strength-
training exercise to
your workouts, use
the hand weights
(P). You can alter-
nate performing
pedaling exercise
on the training bike
with performing
strength-training
exercise next to the training bike. You can also pivot
the console sideways so that you can view the screen
while you are performing strength-training exercises.
When you are not using the hand weights, store them
on the hand weight tray.
