Horizon Fitness 5.0R - RECUMBENT BIKE Manual

UNIT OPERATION

HOW TO MOVE THE DEVICE

Due to the weight of the Recumbent Bike, it is recommended that two people move it. While one person lifts the back of the Recumbent Bike, the second person firmly holds the handlebar and tips the Recumbent Bike forward until it rolls on the wheels. Carefully move the Recumbent Bike to the desired location and then lower it.
If the Recumbent Bike rocks on the floor after being set down, turn the leveling feet underneath the front or rear stabilizer until the rocking motion is eliminated.

LOCATION OF THE UNIT

Place the Recumbent Bike on a level surface. There should be 2 feet (60 cm) of each side surround the Recumbent Bike. Do not place the cycle in any area that will block any vent or air openings. The Recumbent Bike should not be located in a garage, covered patio, near water or outdoors.

To reduce the risk of injury, use extreme caution while moving the Recumbent Bike. Do not attempt to move it over uneven surfaces and make sure there's a clear space of 24 inches (minimum) on all sides of the equipment.

HOW TO ADJUST THE DEVICE

The Recumbent Bike can be adjusted for maximum comfort and exercise effectiveness. The instructions below describe one approach to adjusting the Recumbent Bike to ensure optimal user comfort and ideal body positioning; you may choose to adjust the Recumbent Bike differently.

SEAT ADJUSTMENT
Proper seat height helps ensure maximum exercise efficiency and comfort, while reducing the risk of injury. Adjust the seat height to make sure it's in proper position, one that keeps a slight bend in your knee while your legs are in the extended position.

1. Seat Horizontal Position
   Rotate the adjustment lever counterclockwise to slide the seat forward or backward as desired. Rotate the lever clockwise to lock the position. Test the seat slide for proper operation.
2. Pedal Straps
   Place the ball of the foot into the strap until it's centered over the pedal, reach down and pull the pedal strap up to tighten prior to use. To remove your foot from the strap, loosen the strap and pull out.

COMMON PRODUCT QUESTIONS

ARE THE SOUNDS MY DEVICE MAKES NORMAL?

Our Recumbent Bikes are some of the quietest available because they use belt drives and magnetic brake resistance. We use the highest grade bearings and chains/belts to minimize noise. However, because the resistance system itself is so quiet, you will occasionally hear other slight mechanical noises. Unlike older, louder technologies, there are no fans, friction belts, or alternator noises to mask these sounds on our Recumbent Bikes. These mechanical noises, which may or may not be intermittent, are normal and are caused by the transfer of significant amounts of energy to a rapidly spinning flywheel. All bearings, chains/belts and other rotating parts will generate some noise which will transmit through the casing and frame. It is also normal for these sounds to change slightly during a workout and over time because of thermal expansion of the parts.

WHY IS THE Recumbent Bike I HAD DELIVERED LOUDER THAN THE ONE AT THE STORE?
All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is generally more background noise than in your home. Also, there will be less reverberation on a carpeted concrete floor than on a wood overlay floor. Sometimes a heavy rubber mat will help reduce reverberation through the floor. If a fitness product is placed close to a wall, there will be more reflected noise.

HOW LONG WILL THE BELT LAST

The computer modeling we have done indicated virtually thousands of maintenance free hours. You should not have to replace the belt as long as you have the Recumbent Bike.

CAN I MOVE THE Recumbent Bike EASILY ONCE IT IS ASSEMBLED?
Your Recumbent Bike has a pair of transport wheels built into the front stabilizer tube. Please follow the moving the Recumbent Bike section to transport your Recumbent Bike. It is important that you place your Recumbent Bike in a comfortable and inviting room. Your Recumbent Bike is designed to use minimal floor space. Many people will place their Recumbent Bikes facing the TV or a window. If at all possible, avoid putting your Recumbent Bike in an unfinished basement.
To make exercise a desirable daily activity for you, the Recumbent Bike should be in a comfortable setting.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

The device makes a squeaking or chirping noise

Verify the following:

• The Recumbent Bike is on a level surface.
• Loosen all bolts attached during the assembly process, grease the threads, and tighten again.

If this does not remedy the problem, you may
CONTACT CUSTOMER TECH SUPPORT AT THE NUMBER ON THE BACK PANEL.

The following information may be asked of you when you call. Please have these items readily available:

• Model Name
• Serial Number
• Proof of Purchase (receipt or credit card statement)

You may find more troubleshooting suggestions on the customer support section of our website. Contact customer support using the contact information on the BACK PANEL.

In order for Customer Tech Support to service your Recumbent Bike they may need to ask detailed questions about the symptoms that are occurring. Some troubleshooting questions that may be asked are:

• How long has this problem been occurring?
• Does this problem occur with every use? With every user?
• If you are hearing a noise, does it come from the front or the back? What kind of noise is it (thumping, grinding, squeaking, chirping etc.)?
• Has the machine been lubricated and maintained per the maintenance schedule?

Answering these and other questions will give the technicians the ability to send proper replacement parts and the service necessary to get you and your Recumbent Bike running again!

MAINTENANCE

What kind of routine maintenance is required?
Minimal maintenance and cleaning is required. We use sealed bearings throughout our bikes so lubrication is not needed. The most important maintenance step is to simply wipe your perspiration off the bike after each use.

How do I clean my bike?
Clean with mild soap and water cleaners only. Never use solvents on plastic parts. Cleanliness of your bike and its operating environment will keep maintenance problems and service calls to a minimum. For this reason, we recommend that the following preventive maintenance schedule be followed.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

AFTER EACH USE
Clean the Recumbent Bike using soft cloths or paper towels or other gentle solution (cleaning agents should be alcohol and ammonia free). Disinfect the saddle and handlebars and wipe off all bodily residues.

BEFORE EACH USE
Make sure that the Recumbent Bike is level and does not rock. Ensure that the pedals are tight in crank arms and not crossthreaded, all screws on pedals are tight, and pedal straps are not frayed.

MONTHLY
Inspect all assembly bolts and pedals on the machine for proper tightness.

Adhering to this schedule will extend the life of your machine.
