Where to place the Inclusive Upright Lifecycle Exercise Bike

Following all safety instructions in Section 1.1, move the bike to the location in which it will be used. See Section 3, titled

Specifications, for the dimensions of the product footprint (assembled dimensions). Allow a distance of 21 to 30 centimeters

( 8 to 12 inches) between the bike and other objects or surfaces on either side. Allow a distance of 1 meter ( 3 feet ) from the front or rear of the bike to any other object or surface.

How to stabilize the Inclusive Upright Lifecycle Exercise Bike

After placing the bike in position, check the unit’s stability by attempting to rock it from side to side. Any slight rocking indicates that the unit must be leveled. Determine which foot is not resting completely on the floor. Loosen the jam nut (A) with an open-end M17 wrench, and rotate the stabilizing foot (B) to lower it. Verify that the bike is stable, and repeat the adjustment as necessary until the unit no longer rocks. Lock the adjustment by tightening the jam nut against the stabilizer bar. A

The STEP-UP PLATFORM is shipped in a configuration to be placed on the user left side of the Inclusive Upright Lifecycle ® Exercise Bike (as shown). The STEP-UP PLATFORM is designed for use on either side of the Inclusive Upright Lifecycle ® Exercise Bike.

If the STEP-UP PLATFORM is to be used on the user right side of the Inclusive Upright Lifecycle ® Exercise Bike:

1.

Remove the four SCREWS (AA) securing the STEP-UP PLATFORM (BB) to the STEP LOCATOR BRACKET (CC).

2.

Flip the STEP LOCATOR BRACKET (CC), align the STEP LOCATOR BRACKET to the STEP-UP PLATFORM (BB) and secure using the four previously removed SCREWS (AA). Tighten the SCREWS securely. Do not overtighten the SCREWS.

Peel the protective liner from each of the six NON-SLIP PADS (DD) and place them on the underside of the STEP

LOCATOR BRACKET (CC) as shown.

Carefully lift the rear of the Inclusive Upright Lifecycle Exercise Bike and position the STEP-UP PLATFORM under the

REAR STABILIZER (EE) as shown. Be sure the REAR STABILIZER sits completely on the floor within the STEP

LOCATOR BRACKET (CC).

Check for Battery Power

The Inclusive Upright Lifecycle Exercise Bike console is powered by a rechargeable 6-volt battery. Check the battery by pressing and holding the power on/off key. The console should beep and light up. The Message Center on the console will display a prompt to set up a workout. If a prompt doesn’t appear or initializing doesn’t begin, mount the

Inclusive Upright Lifecycle Bike and begin pedaling. The console should light up and programming a workout should be possible. Pedal for 20 minutes at 40 RPM or faster during a workout to charge the battery. The pedal action during workouts keeps the battery charged. If the Inclusive Lifecycle Exercise Bike is powered by the external 36V DC power supply, battery maintenance is automatic and pedaling is not required.

External power

If using the optional external power supply, be sure to plug the power connector to the front of the Inclusive Upright

Lifecycle Bike before plugging the AC power in. Plug the cord into an AC outlet. The console should immediately beep and light up.

NOTE: If the console does not light up, contact Life Fitness Customer Service (refer to page one of this manual).

The following connection receptacles are located at the front of the Inclusive Upright Lifecycle Exercise Bike: Attachable

TV power (C), coaxial cable (D), external power for the Engage console or optional external power (E), and fitness networking (F).

CAUTION: Connectors should easily fit into the receptacles. Forcing a connection may lead to damage to the barrel connector and/or receptacle and may void product warranty.

How to Adjust the Seat

A properly adjusted seat is extremely important in any bike-oriented exercise activity and the Inclusive Upright Lifecycle

Bike is no exception. If the seat is too close, excessive strain will be placed on the knees and quadriceps muscles; if the seat is too far, the resulting reaching action will irritate the feet, ankles, hips and knees.

Sit on the seat and place the balls of the feet on the pedals. An optimum position will allow movement through the bottom of the stroke without locking the knees or shifting in the seat. The knees should have a slight bend at the point of fullest leg extension.

If the seat needs to be adjusted lower, lift the spring-loaded adjusting handle (G) located underneath the nose of the seat. Hold both the handle and nose of the seat with one hand and use the other hand to grab the rear of the seat. Slide the handle and seat down to the proper position and release the pin to complete engagement. Gently slide the seat up and down a small distance to ensure it is locked into place. Check the seat distance again and re-adjust it if necessary. If the seat needs to be adjusted higher, grab the seat and slide it up to the proper position. When adjusting the seat to a higher position, the user does not have to lift the spring-loaded adjusting handle. Gently slide the seat up to the proper position.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to adjust the seat while pedaling the bike or sitting on the seat. Doing so may result in an uncomfortable workout or cause injury.

How to Adjust the Pedal Straps

The bike pedal straps keep the user’s shoes on the pedals during a workout. The straps should fit comfortably, but they also should be tight enough to prevent shoes from slipping at any point in the pedaling rotation. Before working out, a user should test and adjust the tightness of the straps.

The Velcro type safety straps on the pedals of the Inclusive Recumbent Lifecycle Exercise Bike can be adjusted to fit a variety of shoe sizes. Pull the D-ring (H) upward to separate the two surfaces of the Velcro on the strap (I). Put the foot on the pedal (J) underneath the strap. Pull the strap with the D-ring to tighten the strap over the foot, then press the

Velcro surfaces of the strap firmly together to ensure that the foot is securely positioned in the pedal.
