HOW TO MOVE AND LEVEL THE RECUMBENT
BIKE
Before moving the recumbent bike, make sure
that the power cord is unplugged. Note: If a CATV
cable is connected to the recumbent bike, it may be
necessary to disconnect the cable if the recumbent
bike will be moved far.
Due to the size and weight of the recumbent bike,
moving it requires two persons. While one person
lifts the indicated end, firmly hold the handlebar and
tip the recumbent bike forward until it rolls on the
front wheels. Carefully move the recumbent bike to
the desired location and then lower it back to the
level position. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of in-
jury, use extreme caution while moving the re-
cumbent bike. Do not attempt to move the re-
cumbent bike over uneven surfaces.
If the recumbent bike rocks slightly during use, turn
the leveling feet under the rear of the frame until the
rocking motion is eliminated.
HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT
To adjust the seat, lift the seat latch, slide the seat
forward or backward to the desired position, and then
push the seat latch back down.
HOW TO CONNECT THE POWER CORD
If the recumbent bike has a Basic console, it can be used with or
without the included power cord. If the recumbent bike has a
Workout TV console, the power cord must be used for the TV to be
operated.
To use the power cord, first plug one end of the power cord into the
jack on the front of the recumbent bike. Plug the other end of the
power cord into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed in ac-
cordance with all local codes and ordinances.

HOW TO CONNECT A CATV CABLE
If your recumbent bike has a Workout TV console, a CATV cable
must be connected to the recumbent bike for cable TV stations to
be viewed.
Locate the cable jack on the front of the recumbent bike. Connect
the CATV cable to the cable jack.
A satellite receiver, VCR, or DVD player can also be connected to
the recumbent bike. Connect a CATV cable from the coaxial output
on your equipment (usually labeled TV OUT or RF OUT) to the
cable jack. Note: Audio/video equipment without coaxial outputs
(some satellite receivers and DVD players) will require an RF modulator to operate with the recumbent bike. RF
modulators and external CATV cables are not available from FreeMotion Fitness, but are available at electronics
stores. See the owner's manual included with the equipment you wish to connect to see whether an RF modula-
tor is needed.
Cable Jack
Your recumbent bike has been pre-configured to operate with a Basic console and a Workout TV console (see
the drawings below). To learn about the features of the Basic console, see page 9. For information about the
state-of-the-art Workout TV console, see page 23.
To upgrade your console and expand the capabilities of your recumbent bike whenever you choose, sim-
ply contact your local FreeMotion Fitness Sales Representative or call FreeMotion Fitness toll-free at 1-
