Part Identification Chart

This chart identifies small parts needed for assembly. Numbers in parentheses are key numbers from the PART LIST. The number following the key number is the quantity needed. If a part is missing from the hardware kit, check if it's preassembled. Extra parts may be included.

Assembly

Assembly requires two persons.

• Place all parts in a cleared area and remove packing materials. Do not dispose of packing materials until assembly is complete.
• Left parts are marked “L” or “Left”; right parts are marked “R” or “Right.”
• Refer to page 5 to identify small parts.

In addition to included tools, you will need:

• One Phillips screwdriver
• One adjustable wrench

Using your own wrenches may be easier. Do not use power tools to avoid damaging parts.

Step 1: Product Registration
To register and activate your warranty in the UK, visit iconsupport.eu. If you lack internet access, call Customer Service. For Australia, email or post your receipt, name, address, telephone number, model number, and serial number to the address on the front cover.

Step 2: Attach Stabilizers
Identify the Right (8) and Left (9) Stabilizers. Have a second person hold the Frame (1) and tip it left, being careful not to damage the Shields (50, 51). Attach the Right Stabilizer (8) to the Frame (1) using four M10 x 20mm Screws (110). Start all screws, then tighten them. Note: Ignore unthreaded holes on the frame underside. Ensure M10 x 20mm Screws (110) are tightened firmly. Lower the Frame (1) carefully. Attach the Left Stabilizer (9) similarly.

Step 3: Attach Pedals
Identify the Right Pedal Base (2) and Right Pedal (22), and Left Pedal Base (3) and Left Pedal (23). Attach the Right Pedal (22) to the Right Pedal Base (2) with four M6 x 12mm Screws (108). Start all screws, then tighten. Attach the Left Pedal (23) to the Left Pedal Base (3) in the same way.

Step 4: Attach Pedal Bases to Legs
Attach the Right Pedal Base (2) to the Right Pedal Leg (24) using four M8 x 20mm Screws (102). Start all screws, then tighten. Attach the Left Pedal Base (3) to the Left Pedal Leg (25) similarly.

Step 5: Attach Rear Cover and Accessory Tray
Press the Rear Cover (53) onto the Left and Right Shields (50, 51). Secure with four M4 x 16mm Flat Head Screws (101). Then, insert the Accessory Tray (18) into the Rear Cover (53).

Step 6: Attach Console Assembly
With assistance, orient the Console (5), Console Cover (7), and Console Bracket (4). Route wires (A) through the Console Cover and Bracket. Attach the Console (5) and Console Cover (7) to the Console Bracket (4) using four M4 x 22mm Screws (107). Avoid pinching the wires.

Step 7: Connect Console Bracket to Frame
With assistance, hold the Console Bracket (4) near the Frame (1). Connect the console wires (5) to the Main Wire (115) and Pulse Wire (117). Wire connectors should slide and click; if not, turn one connector. Attach the Console Bracket (4) to the Frame (1) using two M8 x 86mm Screws (109) and two M8 x 15mm Screws (96). Start all screws, then tighten. Avoid pinching wires.

Step 8: Attach Handlebars
Ensure Pedals (22, 23) are level. Attach the Right Handlebar (10) to the Right Handlebar Arm (15) with three M8 x 25mm Screws (105). Start all screws, then tighten. Rotating the handlebar may aid access. Attach the Left Handlebar (11) similarly.

Step 9: Attach Pivot Covers
Identify Rear and Front Pivot Covers (65, 66). Press them together around the Right Handlebar (10) near the bend (B) and attach with two M4 x 22mm Screws (107). Slide covers toward the Shield Cover (12). Attach the Front Pivot Cover to the Right Handlebar (10) with an M4 x 22mm Screw (107). Repeat for the other side.

How to Use the Sound System

The Optional Heart Rate Monitor

Maintaining the proper heart rate is key to achieving fitness goals (fat burning or cardiovascular strengthening). An optional heart rate monitor allows continuous monitoring during workouts. For purchase, see the front cover. The console is compatible with all Bluetooth Smart heart rate monitors.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

How to Adjust the Reed Switch

If the console does not display correct feedback, adjust the reed switch. First, unplug the power adapter.

Remove the four M4 x 16mm Flat Head Screws (101) and the Lower Rear Shield Cover (68).

Turn the Large Pulley (21) until the Pulley Magnet (104) aligns with the Reed Switch (116). Slightly loosen the M4 x 19mm Screw (113), slide the Reed Switch closer to or away from the magnet, and retighten the screw.

Plug in the power adapter and turn the Large Pulley (21) briefly. Repeat if necessary until feedback is correct. Reattach the lower rear shield cover.

How to Adjust the Drive Belt

If pedals slip even at the highest resistance, the drive belts may need adjustment. First, unplug the power adapter.

Remove the four M4 x 16mm Flat Head Screws (101) and the Lower Rear Shield Cover (68).

Stand on the trainer and pedal. If pedals still slip, locate the upper Adjustment Screw (B) and tighten it two turns to adjust the Small Drive Belt (28). Stand on the trainer again and pedal. If pedals still slip, tighten the lower Adjustment Screw (A) four turns to adjust the Large Drive Belt (31).

Once adjusted, reattach the lower rear shield cover.
