Inspect and tighten all parts of the LIFESTYLER
¨
DT1000 regularly. Replace worn parts immediately.
The DT1000 can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth.
Keep liquid away from the electronic monitor. Keep
the monitor out of direct sunlight or the display may
be damaged. Remove the batteries when storing the
DT1000.
ELECTRONIC MONITOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING
If the electronic monitor does not function properly,
the batteries should be replaced. See assembly step
5 on page 5 for instructions. In addition, make sure
that the sensor wire is connected to the wire on the
monitor. See assembly step 6 on page 5.
If the electronic monitor displays incorrect information,
the reed switch should be checked. First, remove the
pedal and the side shield from one side of the exer-
cise bike.
Next, refer to
the drawing
at the right
and locate
the reed
switch. Turn
the sprocket
until the
magnet on
the sprocket
is as close
as possible to the reed switch. Loosen the screw in
the reed switch, move the reed switch slightly closer to
the magnet, and tighten the screw.
Make sure that
the magnet will not hit the reed switch when the
sprocket turns.
Repeat until the monitor displays
correct information.
HOW TO TIGHTEN THE PEDALS
If the pedals become loose, refer to assembly step 8
on page 5. Tighten the pedal axles into the arms of
the crank. Tighten the 1/2" locknuts on the pedal axles.
HOW TO ADJUST THE CHAIN
The exercise bike features a precision chain that must
be kept properly lubricated. Apply a few drops of light
multi-purpose oil to the chain every three months.
In addition, the chain must be kept properly adjusted.
If the chain is too tight, the bearings may be dam-
aged; if the chain is too loose, the fan may be dam-
aged. If the chain causes excessive noise or slips as
you pedal, check the chain in the following manner:
1. Remove the fan guards from the front of the exer-
cise bike. Remove the pedal and the side shield
from one side of the exercise bike.
2. Press down on the center of the chain.
There
should be between 1/4Ó and 1Ó of vertical
movement in the center of the chain.
If the
chain is properly adjusted, reattach the side shield,
pedal, and fan guards. If the chain needs to be
adjusted, see step 3.
3. Loosen both axle nuts. To tighten the chain, turn
the adjustment nuts clockwise; to loosen the chain,
turn the adjustment nuts counterclockwise. Make
sure that the fan is straight and tighten the axle nuts.
Reattach the side shield, pedal, and fan guards.
