4. Operating Instructions

Familiarize yourself with the bike's adjustments and console functions for an optimal workout experience.

Console Operation

The console tracks your workout data. It is powered by batteries (not included with the product). Refer to Figure 2.3 for console layout.

• Display Functions: The console typically displays Time, Speed, Distance, Calories, and Scan (cycles through all metrics).
• MODE Button: Press to select a specific display function or to confirm a setting.
• SET Button: Used to set target values for time, distance, or calories (if available).
• RESET Button: Press to clear all workout data and restart tracking. Hold for a few seconds to reset completely.
• Automatic On/Off: The console will turn on automatically when you start pedaling or press any button. It will turn off after a period of inactivity to save battery life.

Bike Adjustments

• Seat Height Adjustment: Loosen the adjustment knob on the seat post, raise or lower the seat to your desired height (when seated, your leg should have a slight bend at the knee at the bottom of the pedal stroke), and then tighten the knob securely. Refer to Figure 2.5.
• Seat Fore/Aft Adjustment: Some models allow the seat to move horizontally. Loosen the adjustment knob beneath the seat, slide the seat forward or backward, and tighten the knob.
• Handlebar Height Adjustment: Loosen the adjustment knob on the handlebar post, raise or lower the handlebars to a comfortable position, and tighten the knob securely. Refer to Figure 2.4.
• Resistance Adjustment: The ZS600 uses a friction resistance mechanism. Turn the resistance knob clockwise to increase resistance and counter-clockwise to decrease it. Press the knob down firmly to engage the emergency brake.
• Pedal Straps: Adjust the pedal straps to secure your feet firmly to the pedals, preventing them from slipping during your workout.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your BH Fitness ZS600 Indoor Exercise Bike.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the bike with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Check Fasteners: Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and screws to ensure they are tight. Tighten any loose fasteners to prevent instability or noise.
• Lubrication: The friction pad may require occasional lubrication if squeaking occurs. Consult a professional or the manufacturer's specific recommendations for appropriate lubricants.
• Console Batteries: Replace the console batteries when the display becomes dim or stops functioning. Ensure correct battery type and polarity.
