Rewire AMT for touchscreen console
WARNING DO NOT attempt to connect electrical power until all
assembly procedures are complete and the console is properly
installed.
Retrieve the following parts from the console package:
TV (coax) coupler
Ethernet (CAT 5) coupler and cable
Cable, and the console power cable
IMPORTANT Make sure all cables pass through all of the cable clips and DO
NOT allow any of the cables to hang near moving parts.
NOTE In the following steps, pass the console power cable through
the opening first, followed by the TV cable. Pass the remaining
cables through in order of connector size (Figure 11).
Thread the cables for each part as follows:
1. TV connection
a. Install the TV (coax) coupler, star washer, and nut, into the jack plate at the lower
end of the AMT and tighten (Figure 11).
b. Connect the TV cable to the inside end of the TV cable coupler. Tighten the
connector using a 7/16-inch open-end wrench.
2. Ethernet connection
a. Attach the Ethernet coupler into the jack plate at the lower front of the AMT (Figure
11).
b. Plug the Ethernet cable into the coupler.
3. Console connection
a. Plug the console power cable into the jack plate (Figure
11).
b. Slide the quick-disconnect terminal on the grounding lead
of the power cable over the grounding terminal on the
equipment frame.
Figure 11
Continue the wiring
1. Pass the ends of all cables through the opening in the top of
the cable channel and secure them in the cable clips.
2. Route cables through the cable clips next to the front flywheel,
through the topmost cable clip on the main frame, and up to
the center support (Figure 12).
3. Remove the tie from the base data cable. Group that cable
with the others and thread them upward through the center
support and out through the center opening in the console
mount, making sure that the heart rate sensor cable extends
out of the opening as well.
4. To complete the console installation, refer to the installation
guide that came with the console.
Figure 12
IMPORTANT Store excess cable inside the center support. DO NOT allow cables to hang loosely
inside the body of the AMT.
Route cables under rear pedestal (optional)
When the AMT faces away from the cable raceway, use the conduit included in the hardware kit
to route the Ethernet, TV, and power cables underneath the center of the AMT and through its
rear pedestal.
To use conduit
1. Lay out the cables so that they pass directly under the center support of the AMT and place
the conduit on the floor directly behind the center support.
2. Insert the cables, one at a time, into the slot at the top of the conduit. IMPORTANT DO
NOT clip or tie the segments of the cables that you insert into the conduit.
3. Lower the rear pedestal over the back frame tube and
the side arm supports. The pedestal should sit flat on
the floor and with the conduit completely inside of it
(Figure 13).

1. Guide the front cover around the arms so that the tabs at
the bottom corners are inside the two side covers. Slide it
into place until the latches on the side covers click into
place (Figure 14).
2. Reattach the bottom corners of the front cover using two
#10 x 3/4-inch screws. Fully tighten.
Figure 14
IMPORTANT In the following step, DO NOT apply excessive force to seat the cover.
3. Position the rear edge of the top cover so that the clips on
the top and back covers are engaged securely.
4. Using the heel of your hand, gently snap the front edge of
the top cover into place.
5. Wrap the gasket around the center support below the
heart rate sensor grips, then fit it into the top cover
making sure the edges of the seal are flush with the top
cover (Figure 15).
Figure 15
Position handlebars
For shipping, the AMT is packed with its handlebars reversed. Two set screws are threaded into
each handlebar. The plastic boots that eventually cover the screws are positioned just above them
on the handlebars.
1. Remove the two set screws from one handlebar (Figure 16).
Figure 16
2. Rotate the handlebar exactly one half turn (180°) (Figure 17).
3. Reinsert the two set screws. Leave the screws partially
tightened until you have adjusted both handlebars.
4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 to position the other handlebar.
Figure 17
5. Adjust the positions of both handlebars outward as much as
possible. Both handlebars should be at equal angles to the
body of the AMT and angled slightly outward (Figure 18).
Figure 18
6. Rotate one of the plastic boots so that it aligns with the
surface below it, then press the boot downward to secure it in
place (Figure 19). Repeat this step to position the other plastic
boot.
Figure 19
Level the AMT
It is important to level the AMT properly every time you move it.
CAUTION To eliminate movement, make sure the adjustable feet
are in contact with the floor. Also, make sure that the AMT sits on
a flat surface. Adjusting the feet of the AMT cannot compensate
for extremely uneven surfaces.
1. Try to rock the AMT while standing on one of its foot plates and grabbing the opposite
handlebar. If there is any movement, with assistance, tip the AMT to one side to locate the
adjustable feet.
2. Using a 9/16-inch open-ended wrench,
move the jam nuts away from the side
arm supports and toward the
adjustable feet.
3. Correct the height of each adjustable
foot as follows (Figure 20). To raise,
rotate counterclockwise. To lower,
rotate clockwise. Figure 20
IMPORTANT To allow the rear pedestal to fit properly, the adjustable feet
must extend at least 2 inches (5 cm) below the side arm supports. Extend the
feet before you remove the spacer block (as described in To add the side arm
supports), to ensure that they are positioned correctly.
4. When you finish adjusting the equipment, check the
movement and readjust as necessary.
5. Using the 9/16-inch open-ended wrench, move the
jam nuts upward until they contact the side arm
supports and fully tighten them.
6. Align the rear pedestal over the back frame tube and
the side arm covers, then press the pedestal into place
(Figure 21). Figure 21
