Care & Maintenance:
The
e

resistance system should never need grease on the bearings located inside the
crank housing. However, periodic adjustment of the crank arm bearing retainer ring may be
necessary. Loosening the lock nut, located on the left side of the bike can make adjustments.
Turn the slotted bearing retainer with a screwdriver. Do not over tighten, as this will cause the
hand crank not to freewheel smoothly.

FAQ’s & Trouble Shooting:
Problem:
The handgrips will not attach to the hand crank.
Answer:
1. Check that you have a left and a right hand grip, not two lefts or two rights.
Marked L and R at threaded end.
2. Then check that you are trying to attach the right hand grip to the right side
and that you are rotating the handgrip in the correct direction.
3. Check that the threads have not been cross-threaded.
Problem:
The handgrips unscrew from the hand crank when rotated.
Answer:
1. Check that the handgrips are secured in position using a wrench and are not
just hand tight.
2. Ensure that the rubber handgrip rotates on the threaded shaft. If not please
return the part to your supplier for a replacement.
Problem:
When the handles are rotated the hand crank moves side to side.
Answer:
Check that the hand crank-bearing retainer, located on the left side of the unit, is
tight.
Problem:
There is a loud rattling sound when the handgrips are rotated.
Answer:
It is possible that during shipping the flywheel axle vibrated loose. This would
cause the drive belt to either become loose or come off the pulley. Remove the
cover, pull the flywheel axle until the pulley is taught and straight, and then
secure the axle in place with a wrench.
Problem:
The flywheel resistance is too light or too heavy.
Answer:
See the resistance adjustment instructions provided with the monitor.
Problem:
The hand crank will not rotate forward or is very hard to move.
Answer: The drive belt may have slipped off of the flywheel pulley and jammed.
Remove the cover and inspect the belt, if the belt has come off, loosen the
flywheel axle nuts and tighten the belt. Ensure that the pulleys and belt are
aligned and that the flywheel is straight.
