INITIAL SETUP
Read the entire User Manual before setting up the Lifecycle exercise bike.
WHERE TO PLACE THE EXERCISE BIKE
Following all safety instructions in Section 1.1, move the bike to the location in which it will be used. See Section 7,
Specifications, for the dimensions of the footprint. Allow a distance of 4 feet (120 centimeters) between the bike and
other objects or surfaces on either side.
HOW TO STABILIZE THE EXERCISE BIKE
After placing the bike in position, check the unit's stability by attempting to rock it in all directions. Any slight rocking indi-
cates that the unit must be leveled. Determine which foot is not resting completely on the floor. Loosen the jam nut with
an open-end 17mm wrench, and rotate the stabilizing foot to lower it. Verify that the bike is stable, and repeat the adjust-
ment as necessary until the unit no longer rocks. Lock the adjustment by tightening the jam nut against the stabilizer bar.
HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT TO ENSURE CORRECT BIOMECHANICAL POSITIONING
Proper seat positioning minimizes unnecessary leg muscle fatigue. To determine whether or not the seat requires adjust-
ment, sit on it and place the balls of the feet on the pedals. The knee should bend slightly when the pedal is at the furthest
point in its rotation, relative to the body. The user should be able to pedal without locking the knees or shifting in the seat.
Adjusting the seat: The bike post features a vertical locking pin seat adjustment system, which makes it easy and safe
to change the height of the seat quickly. To raise the seat, first get off the bike. Hold the seat, turn the spring-loaded
knob on the right of the seat post once counter-clockwise to loosen it, and pull out the knob to unlock the post from its
present position. Pull the seat upward to the desired height, and release the knob to let it lock into place. Turn the knob
once clockwise to tighten it. Test and re-adjust the seat height as necessary.
To lower the seat, first get off the bike. Hold the seat, turn the spring-loaded knob on the right of the seat post once
counterclockwise to loosen it, and pull out the knob to unlock the post from its present position. Let the seat slide down
to the desired height, and release the knob to let it lock into place. Turn the knob once clockwise to tighten it. Test and
re-adjust the seat height as necessary.
CAUTION : When using the height adjustment mechanism to change the height of a partially raised seat, hold the seat to
prevent it from falling on the hand.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to lock the seat at a position higher than the minimum insertion depth marked on the seat post.

HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDAL STRAPS
The bike pedal safety 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, the user should test and adjust the tightness of the straps.
The straps can be adjusted to fit a variety of shoe sizes. Each strap is held in
place by a spring-loaded clip that is connected to the outer edge of each pedal.
To tighten a strap, simply pull the loose end of the strap down. It automatically
locks into place with each pull. To loosen a strap, press down on the top of the
clip and pull the strap up. Release the clip to lock the strap into place. Test the
adjustment, and change if necessary.
STARTING UP THE BIKE
See Section 7, Specifications, for power requirements. Insert the AC adapter into an electrical outlet that has been prop-
erly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Insert the power adapter jack into the barrel plug on the bottom of the exercise bike. Then insert the power supply into
the wall outlet. Make sure the cord is routed so that it doesn't bind and will not be walked on.
Check that the console lights up. If not, recheck the plug and wall connections and make sure the wall outlet has power.
Once the unit’s power is on, the console display lights up, making it possible to select a workout. When using a self-powered
unit, start pedaling to light up the console.
Note: For customers outside the United States, please use your country specific transformer to power the unit.
Note: The C3 can be self-powered if using a Go Console. The PAUSE time is limited to 30 seconds. Workout data will
be cleared after 30 seconds of inactivity. Extend the PAUSE time by plugging the power supply in to the Go Console.

MAIN FEATURES
5.1 ACCESSORIES
Two accessory trays (A) are mounted above the handlebars on the C3 to provide storage for items such as water bottles,
personal stereos, and cell phones. A Water Bottle Holder (B) is located on the monocolumn of the C1.
Additionally, an integrated Reading Rack (C) for supporting a book or magazine is located at the base of the console.
5.2 CONTACT HEART RATE
The hand pulse sensors (D) are a built-in heart rate monitoring system on the stationary handlebar. During a workout grasp
the hand pulse sensors to monitor your heart rate. We recommend using the heart rate chest strap included with your con-
sole during workouts and using the hand pulse sensors to only occasionally monitor your heart rate when not using the
chest strap. In addition, to utilize heart rate controlled workouts the chest strap must be used. For the most accurate read-
ing, use a comfortable grip. The console will show a heart rate reading after 15 to 20 seconds.
Hand pulse sensors can work differently with different body types. With some individuals it can be very difficult to extract a
heart rate reading. Follow the below tips to improve the heart rate reading.
·
·
·
·
·
Remove your hands from the heart rate sensors and wait for the heart rate display to clear. Grasp sensors again.
Make sure hands are fully contacting the sensors.
Dry hands periodically during use.
Limit movement.
Clean hand pulse sensors.
Note: The heart rate hand pulse sensors provide an approximate heart rate value. The sensors are not medical devices
and should not be used in any type of medical application.

SERVICE & PRODUCT MAINTENANCE
6.1 TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
Cause / Solution
Check to see that the power cord is fully plugged into the back of the
Lifecycle exercise bike and into the wall. Make sure the power cord is
fully seated into the back of the Lifecycle exercise bike.

ensure the pedals are assembled as tight as possible.
Clicking noise while pedaling.
Hear noise as speed increases.
It is normal for any mechanical device to become louder as speed
increases.
Can’t feel a resistance change at the
beginning levels.
The resistance curve of the Lifecycle exercise bike is designed so that
you can feel a greater difference in resistance at higher levels.
Potential reasons for the wireless heart rate not to work properly include:
1. The wireless heart rate is turned OFF in the Settings Menu. Enter
the Settings Menu and verify that WIRELESS HR is turned ON.
2. There is poor contact between the telemetry heart rate strap and
the skin.
3. There is electrical interference from electrical appliances with the
telemetry heart rate strap from fluorescent lights, kitchen appliances,
etc. Move the Lifecycle exercise bike to a different location or move
electrical appliances away from the Lifecycle exercise bike.
4. The battery in the Heart Rate Telemetry Strap needs to be replaced.
The battery is a CR2032 (3V).
