SOLUTION:
If using the contact heart rate sensor grips:
Make sure that the connection for the sensor grips is secure. Refer to the Assembly
Guide fo r specific connection instructions.
Grasp the heart rate sensor grips with both hands and apply firm and even pressure to
the grips.
Remember that contact heart rate grips are not always accurate due, in part, to biologi-
cal differences between users. Contact heart rate can be affected by body oils, metal
from jewelry or in clothing, as well as outside electrical interference.
PROBLEM:
Bike makes clicking noises.
SOLUTION:
Silly as it sounds, this is often simply a matter of shoelaces or pedal straps hitting the
side covers of the bike.
SOLUTION:
So, you say it’s not the shoelaces. Remove the pedals from the crank arms using the
pedal wrench that came with your bike. Apply multipurpose grease to the pedal
threads, then reattach and tighten the pedals keeping in mind that the left pedal is
reverse threaded.
PROBLEM:
Bike wobbles or rocks when in use.
SOLUTION:
Make sure that the bike is level in the position that it is located in. It should not rock
back and forth when in use. Make needed adjustments with the leveling feet that are
located on the rear stabilizer. Refer to the Assembly Guide for specific leveling instruc-
tions.
