The site should be well-lit and well-ventilated. Locate the Upright Bike C8000 or Recumbent
Bike R8000 on a structurally solid flat surface and kept a few feet from the wall or any
equipment. If the site has a heavy plush carpet, to protect the carpeting and machinery, you
should place a rigid plastic base under the unit.
Please do not place the Bike C8000 or R8000 in an area of high humidity, such as the vicinity
of a steam room, indoor pool, or sauna. Exposure to intensive water vapour or chlorine
could adversely affect the electronics, as well as other parts of the machine. To make
exercise a desirable daily activity for you, these two bikes should be in an attractive setting.
The straps are designed to fit your individual foot size and should be adjusted tight enough
to keep your feet from slipping. The pedals include spring-loaded clips for easy adjustment.
To tighten the strap, pull down the open end of the strap. To loosen the strap, push down
on the top of the clip and pull the strap up. Release the clip to lock in place.
After positioning the Bike in its intended location, check its stability by attempting to shake
it side to side. Shaking or wobbling indicates that your bike needs to be leveled.
Determine which leveler is not resting completely on the floor. Loosen the nut with one
hand to allow the leveler to rotate. Rotate the left or right leveler, and repeat the adjustment
as necessary until the bike is stable. Lock the adjustment by tightening the nut against the
rear foot support.
