HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH
If the console does not display correct feedback, the
reed switch should be adjusted. In order to adjust the
reed switch, the Left Side Shield (12) must be remov­
ed. Remove the four Side Shield Screws (15) from the
Right Side Shield (13) and the three M4 x 16mm
Tapping Screws (30) from the bottom of the Left Side
Shield. Carefully slide the Left Side Shield forward off
the arm of the Crank (20) and remove it.
Next, locate the
Reed Switch (33).
Turn the crank until
the Magnet (46) is
aligned with the
Reed Switch.
Loosen but do not
remove the M4 x
16mm Screw (30).
Slide the Reed
Switch slightly clos­
er to or away from the Magnet. Retighten the Screw.
Turn, the crank for a moment. Repeat until the console
displays correct feedback. When the Reed Switch is
correctly adjusted, reattach the left side shield.
HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE STRAP
If there is not enough pedaling resistance when the
resistance knob is turned to the highest setting, the
Resistance Strap (17) may need to be adjusted.
To adjust the Resistance Strap, first turn the resis­
tance knob
to the low­
est setting.
Next, locate
and open
the Strap
Buckle (18)
on the
underside
of the side
shields.
Grip the
end of the Resistance Strap (17) and pull it back
slightly to remove any slack. While holding the end of
the Resistance Strap, fully close the Strap Buckle.
Turn the crank for a moment to make sure that there
is not too much resistance.
HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT
The exercise cycle features a drive belt that must be
kept property adjusted. If the belt causes excessive
noise or slips as you pedal, the belt should be
checked. To do this, the side shields must first be
removed. Refer to the instructions on this page and
remove the left side shield. Next, remove the right
side shield the same way.
Press down on
the center of the
Drive Belt (23)
between the front
and rear pulleys.
There should be
from 1/4” to 1/2”
of movement in
the center of the
Belt.
If the drive belt is
properly adjust­
ed, reattach the
side shields. If
the Belt needs to
be adjusted,
loosen the Axle
Nut (29) on each
side of the fly­
wheel. To tighten
the Belt, turn the
Adjustment Nuts
(27) clockwise: to loosen the Belt, turn the Adjustment
Nuts counterclockwise. Make sure that the Flywheel is
straight and tighten the Axle Nuts (29). Reattach the
side shields.
