IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

Save these Instructions

This Owner’s Manual contains all the information necessary to operate the 

g•force RT digital

 

in a 

safe and enjoyable manner.  Please read and understand the contents of this Owner’s Manual in it’s en-
tirety before attempting to operate the 

g•force RT digital

 

• The 

g•force RT digital

 was designed for indoor use only.  Choose a location that is clear of any 

obstructions, including walls and furniture.  Leave a minimum of 12 in (30.5 cm) ft clearance on each 
side of the bike.

•  The display console of the 

g•force RT digital

 

uses four AA rechargeable nickel-metal hydride 

(Ni-MH) batteries. 

Never replace with conventional alkaline batteries. 

 Doing so will damage your 

electronics and void your warranty.

•  Keep the area around your bike clear while in use.

• The 

g•force RT digital

 

was designed for users between 58 in (147.3 cm) and 80 in (203.2 cm) in 

height.  Children who meet the height requirements should be closely supervised when using the 
bike.

•  Keep very young children, disabled persons and pets away from the 

g•force RT digital

 

while it is 

in use. Children, and pets in particular, may fi nd the repetitive motion of the pedals fascinating, and 
this curiosity may result in injury.  Do not allow any child or pet to touch the bike while it is still in 
motion.

•  Keep all loose clothing, shoelaces, cords and towels away from pedals and other moving parts. Shoe-

laces, in particular, can become entangled in the pedal mechanism, causing serious discomfort or 
injury.

•  Do not place fi ngers or any other objects into moving parts of the equipment.

•  Never drop or insert any object into any opening.

•  Never turn pedal crank arms by hand.  To avoid entanglement and possible injury, hands or arms 

should not be exposed to the drive mechanism.

•  Always wear appropriate shoes while riding the 

g•force RT digital

 

.

• Use 

the 

g•force RT digital

 only as described in this manual.  Attachments or modifi cations not 

recommended by the manufacturer will void the warranty.

•  Do not attempt to remove the side panels of the 

g•force RT digital

.  Service should be completed 

by an authorized service provider.  Please call the LeMond Fitness Customer Service Department at 
(+1) 425.482.6773 between the hours of 7:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. M – F Pacifi c time for assistance.

•  Do not use the 

g•force RT digital

 in the vicinity where aerosol spray or oxygen is being used.

•  User capacity of the 

g•force RT digital

 is 350lbs. (136.4 kg)

All equipment manufactured by LeMond Fitness, Inc. has been thoroughly inspected by the manufactur-
ing facility prior to shipment.  Proper installation and regular maintenance of the 

g•force RT digital

 is 

required to ensure the safety of the operators.
