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 (A) into
an appropriate
outlet (B) 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 (C) may
be used to con-
nect the power
cord to a 2-pole
receptacle (D)
as shown at the
right if a properly
grounded outlet is
not available.
The lug (E) or wire extending from the adapter must
be connected with a metal screw (F) 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ed electrician to determine whether the out-
let 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
qualied electrician.
B
A
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 STUDIO CYCLE
Measuring Watts
Each studio cycle is calibrated to measure your power
output and to 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
challenging yourself and improving.
The Incline System
The studio cycle can incline and decline to realistically
simulate outdoor terrain. When you use or create map
workouts of training routes with iFit®(see the console
instructions beginning on page 26 for more informa-
tion), the studio cycle will automatically incline and
decline to match the real-world terrain.
Interactive Wireless Touchscreen Console
The wireless touchscreen console works with iFit to
provide an interactive and immersive in-home studio
experience that allows you to participate virtually in
group studio classes led by personal trainers and to
experience workouts around the world.
HOW TO ADJUST THE GEOMETRY OF THE
STUDIO CYCLE
The studio cycle can be adjusted to match the geom-
etry of your road bike to promote correct form and to
ensure proper training of the muscles. Make adjust-
ments in small increments, and then pedal the
studio cycle 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
saddle screw (A) in
the carriage a few
turns. Next, tilt the
saddle upward or
downward or slide
the saddle forward
or backward to the
desired position.
Then, retighten the saddle screw.
Note: You can remove the saddle and attach your
own saddle to the studio cycle if desired.
How to Adjust the Saddle Carriage
To adjust the posi-
tion of the carriage,
loosen the carriage
knob (B), move the
saddle carriage for-
ward or backward to
the desired posi-
tion, and then firmly
tighten the carriage
knob.

How to Adjust the Saddle Post
For effective training, 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
position.
To adjust the saddle
post, loosen the
post knob (C),
move the saddle
post upward or
downward, and
then firmly tighten
the post knob.
IMPORTANT: Do
not raise the sad-
dle post beyond
the “MAX” mark on the saddle post.
How to Adjust the Handlebar Post
To adjust the han-
dlebar post, loosen
the post knob (D),
move the handle-
bar post upward
or downward, and
then firmly tighten
the post knob.
IMPORTANT:
Do not raise the
handlebar post
beyond the “MAX” mark on the handlebar post.
How to Adjust the Position of the Console
The console (E) can
be adjusted upward,
downward, or to
the side. To adjust
the position of the
console, simply
hold the sides of the
console and press
it to the desired
position. You can
pivot the console all
the way to the side
so that you can view it while standing next to the studio
cycle to perform hand weight exercises or other floor
exercises.
HOW TO LEVEL THE STUDIO CYCLE
If the studio cycle
rocks slightly on
your floor during
use, turn one or
both of the leveling
feet (F) beneath the
rear stabilizer until
the rocking motion
is eliminated.
HOW TO USE THE PEDALS
To use the pedals,
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 (G) on
the buckles, adjust
the toe straps to the
desired position, and then release the tabs.
Note: You can remove the pedals and attach your
own pedals to the studio cycle if desired.
HOW TO USE THE BRAKE KNOB
To change the
resistance of the
pedals, press the
buttons on the right
handlebar (see step
3 on page 22). To
