1 Introduction

General Information
The following information provides general equipment and service information that will help
you to use this manual to properly repair and maintain the bike.
Orientation Convention
The equipment orientation (front, right, left, back) is referenced to an exerciser sitting on the
seat facing the handlebars.
Tools
Recommended set of service and repair tools:
lMetric Hex Key set (2.5 - 6mm) lTorque1wrench 40 ft-lbs (54 N•m
lMetric Wrench set (10 - 21mm) lCrank Extractor (Part:X-Tools Crank
Extractor)(1)
lScrew driver set ) lBelt Tension Gauge (recommended Kent-
Moore BT-33-73-F)
1Torque is a measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis. Bolt/nut
example: 5 NM torque is equivalent to 5 newton's of force applied one meter from the center of
the bolt, 6 ft-lb is equivalent to 6 lbs of force applied 1 foot away from the center of the bolt.

at the completion of any maintenance procedure and when it is necessary to ensure that the
bike is operating properly.
Operation Verification Checklist
Do an overall visual inspection of the bike looking for any loose hardware and/or
missing parts Repair and replace as needed.
Verify that the bike sets level and is stable on the floor, see "Leveling Adjustment
Procedure" on page16.
Verify that the seat height and forward/back adjustment operate correctly.
lMake sure that the seat post up/down movement is smooth and that the
pop-pins lock at different positions. .
lMake sure the forward/back slider movement is smooth and the adjust-
ment knob locks the seat in position.
Verify that the handlebar height and forward/back adjustment work correctly.
lMake sure the handlebar post up/down movement is smooth and that the
pop-pins lock at different positions.
lMake sure the forward/back slider movement is smooth and the adjust-
ment knob locks the handlebar in position.
Set the resistance to minimum and pedal the bike at a moderate pace (55 rpm or
greater), increase the resistance to maximum and return to zero resistance.
lVerify that the resistance knob functions normally from min to max res-
istance.
lVerify that there were no unusual noises from the brake pads or flywheel
during operation.
lVerify that at maximum resistance, the bike was very hard to pedal.
Commercial use: Release all tension from the resistance knob when the oper-
ational check is completed.
Residential use: Use resistance knob to apply a small amount of resistance when
the operational check is completed.

tighten or loosen the left and right chain adjustment nuts (10 mm wrench) so that
there is 1/2 in (1.3 cm) up/dwn travel.
a. Slowly turn the crank arm and adjust the chain tension so the chain falls smoothly
onto the front and rear sprockets.
b. Turn the crank and verify that the chain runs smoothly over the teeth of both front
and rear sprockets. The vertical gap between the flywheel rim and front forks
should be equal distance. Make small tension bolt adjustments as needed to align
the flywheel and sprockets.
