Attaching the Seat Back Assembly
As shown in Figure 1 on the previous page, attach the seat back assembly (2) to the seat
shuttle with four 5/16 x 1-1/2 button head cap screws (9) and lock washers (14), using a
3/16" hex wrench.
NOTE:
If you have difficulty aligning the screws, loosen the four button-
head cap screws on the back of the seat. Attach seat supports to the seat shuttle and fully
tighten, then tighten the screws on the seat back.
Attaching the Display Upright
All of the cable connections are shown in detail A of Figure 1. Connect the two ends of the
ribbon cable (5 and 6) which emerge from the bike base and the display upright (3). If you
have the Polar heart rate monitor option, connect the ends of the Polar cable (4 and 9). To
help support the display upright, move the seat forward and rest the handlebar of the upright
on the seat.
Loosen the top cover screw (see Detail A of Figure 1). Feed excess cable into the upright. Lift
the display upright and slide it down over the neck, taking care not to pinch the ribbon cable.
Fasten the display upright using three 5/16-18 x 3/8” button-head cap screws (8) and lock
washers (12). Tighten the top cover screw at the front of the cycle.
Attaching the Display Console
As shown in Figure 2 on the next page, attach the ribbon cable from the display upright to
the back of the display console (9). The connector is keyed so you cannot insert it backwards.
Attach the green ground cable to the single flat connector next to the ribbon cable connector.
Make sure the cables are firmly connected before continuing.
