Setup and Assembly

Carefully unpack all components and ensure all parts are present before beginning assembly. Refer to the included hardware pack for specific fasteners. Tools for assembly are typically provided.

Step 1: Attaching the Front Stabilizer

1. Locate the front stabilizer bar. Ensure the transport wheels face forward.
2. Align the stabilizer with the mounting points on the main frame.
3. Secure with the provided bolts and washers using the Allen wrench.

Step 2: Attaching the Rear Stabilizer

1. Locate the rear stabilizer bar. The handle for lifting should face backward.
2. Align the stabilizer with the mounting points on the main frame.
3. Secure with the provided bolts and washers.

Step 3: Assembling the Seat and Backrest

1. Attach the seat cushion to its bracket using the designated bolts.
2. Mount the seat assembly onto the main frame, ensuring the square-sided bolts are correctly oriented for stability. Tighten all bolts securely.
3. Slide the backrest into its position on the seat frame. Align the holes and secure with the four provided bolts.
4. Connect the seat adjustment wire from the seat to the main unit.

Step 4: Installing the Console Post and Console

1. Connect the console wires from the main unit to the console post. Ensure a secure connection.
2. Carefully slide the console post into the main unit, ensuring wires are not pinched. Secure with bolts.
3. Attach the console to the console post. Remove any pre-installed screws from the back of the console first, then use them to secure the console to the post.

Step 5: Attaching Handlebars and Pedals

1. Mount the handlebars to the console post, securing them with the provided bolts.
2. Attach the pedals. Note that the left pedal typically tightens by turning counter-clockwise (lefty-tighty) to prevent loosening during use. The right pedal tightens clockwise. Secure the foot straps.

Adjusting the Seat

To adjust the seat position, pull the lever located beneath the seat. Slide the seat forward or backward to your desired position, then release the lever to lock it in place. Ensure the seat is securely locked before use.

Using the LCD Display Console

The integrated LCD display provides real-time workout data. Insert two AAA batteries (included) into the console's battery compartment. The console typically displays:

• Time: Duration of your workout.
• Speed: Current cycling speed.
• Distance: Total distance covered during the workout.
• Calories: Estimated calories burned.
• Pulse: Your heart rate, measured by gripping the hand sensors on the handlebars.
• Scan: Automatically cycles through all display functions.

Use the 'Mode' button to cycle through display options and 'Set'/'Reset' buttons for specific adjustments or to clear data.

Adjusting Resistance Levels

The Cycle Trainer 400 RI features 16 digital resistance levels. Use the resistance control knob, usually located near the console, to increase or decrease the workout intensity. Turn clockwise for higher resistance, counter-clockwise for lower resistance.

iFIT Bluetooth Smart Enabled (Subscription Required)

This bike is compatible with iFIT via Bluetooth. Connect your own tablet or smartphone (not included) to access interactive training sessions. iFIT trainers can automatically adjust your bike's resistance for an optimized workout experience. A 30-day iFIT membership is typically included with purchase.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your recumbent bike.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the bike after each use with a damp cloth to remove sweat and dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Inspection: Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and moving parts for tightness and wear. Tighten any loose fasteners.
