Basic Assembly Principals
Here are few basic assembly tips that can make assembly
of your
Nautilus®Commercial Series Bike quick and easy.
1. You can make the assembly process go faster by
gathering the pieces you need for each step prior to
starting the step.
2. As a general rule, and for all fasteners on your
Nautilus®
Commercial Series Bike, turning toward the right
will tighten, turning towards the left will loosen. An
easy way to remember this is by remembering the
expression, “Lefty loosey, righty tighty.”
3. The tools needed to assemble your Nautilus®
Commercial Series Bike are provided.
You may find the
use of a utility knife or scissors beneficial during the
unpacking and assembly process.
4. It is recommended that you use two people to
assemble your Nautilus® Commercial Series Bike.
Select Your Workout Area
Select where you are going to put your Nautilus®
Commercial Series Bike carefully. The best place for
your exercise bike is on a hard, level surface. You will
need at least 18 inches (.45 meters) on each side of the
Commercial Series Bike and 18 inches (.45 meters) behind
your R916 for dismount.
Make sure that the location you choose has a grounded,
3-prong power outlet within reach of the
Nautilus®
Commercial Series Bike
power cord.
NOTE: The Nautilus®
Commercial Series Bike
is designed
to plug into a grounded, non-GFI outlets only. To
determine if your outlet or circuit breaker is GFI, look for
a test and reset button on them. If they have the test and
reset button it is a GFI outlet or circuit breaker.
Further, if you ever perform any repairs on your
Commercial Series Bike
that require you to lay it on its
side, you will need at least five feet to one side of your
workout area.
Positioning Your Nautilus® Commercial Series Bike
Take great care when moving your Commercial Series
Bike into place prior to assembly.
The recumbent bike is heavy and requires two people
to safely move from one location to another. To move,
have two people lift up the rear end of the machine until
the transport wheels are in contact with the ground. The
machine can now be rolled on the transport wheels.
Do not grasp or move the the machine by holding onto the
computer console.
Note:
The transport wheels are intended for indoor use only and
should never be rolled on concrete or asphalt surfaces.
