3. Setup and Assembly

3.1 Unpacking and Placement
- Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain packaging materials for future transport or storage.
- Place the exercise bike on a firm, level surface. Ensure there is at least 0.6 meters (2 feet) of clear space around the equipment for safe operation and access.

3.2 Power Connection
The LK 7500 H750 features a self-generating electromagnetic braking system (GSG). This means the monitor does not require an external power outlet. The flywheel generates the necessary power for the console during your workout.
3.3 Seat Adjustment
Adjust the horizontal sliding seat to a comfortable position that allows for a slight bend in your knees at the fullest extension of the pedal stroke. The ergonomic design provides optimal lumbar and pelvic support.

6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your BH Fitness LK 7500 H750, refer to the following common problems and solutions.

| Inaccurate heart rate reading from hand sensors. | Hands not firmly on sensors, or dry hands. | Ensure both hands are firmly gripping the sensors. Lightly moisten hands if they are too dry. |
| Resistance feels inconsistent or too easy/hard. | Program setting or manual resistance level. | Check the selected program and its intensity level. Adjust resistance manually via the console if in manual mode. |
