INSTALLATION 

AND SETUP

Instructions stated in this manual must be performed during initial installation of the  

LIFE FITNESS Indoor Cycle in order to ensure optimal performance and a long lifespan. Please 

read and follow the following instructions carefully. If the Indoor Cycles are not installed and 

configured as described, the components may be subjected to excessive wear and tear and the 

bike may become damaged. If you have any questions regarding installation, please contact 

[email protected].

Please note: Lubricants are required for some maintenance procedures. Please only use an  

acid- and solvent-free spray lubricant and white lithium grease.

1. 

Make sure the bike is level. If bike rocks on the floor, turn the levelling feet underneath the 

front and/or rear stabilizer until the rocking motion is eliminated. Make sure that the levelling 

feet are not screwed out further than 10 mm

2. 

Verify emergency brake function to make sure that it is working properly.

3. 

Check that both crank arm Allen bolts, with which the cranks (on the right and left side of the 

bottom bracket) are fastened, are secure (tightening torque 60 NM). These bolts are provided 

with TufLok® at the factory to prevent them from becoming loose during use.

If the bolts become loose, we recommend applying medium-strength LOCTITE® 243 and then 

reattaching the crank fixing bolts with a tightening torque of 60 NM.

4. 

Wipe down bike frame with a rag moistened with acid and solvent-free spray lubricant.

5. 

Some parts of the bike may become loose during shipment. Check crank arms and all exposed 

screws, bolts and nuts, and make sure that they are all secure and properly tightened.

CUSTOMER SERVICE
1.

 Provide the customer with basic maintenance instructions, and direct them to detailed 

maintenance instructions.

2.

 Have the sign-off sheet for the manual, explanation of maintenance procedures and 

verification of impeccable condition of the bikes confirmed by the customer when handing over 

the goods. A copy of the confirmation should be counter signed by yourself and a copy of the 

confirmation should also be left with the customer.

3.

 Repairs must only be carried out by manufacturer authorised service technicians.
