3.10 Brake Cable Adjustment

1. Using the Level - button, make sure the resistance is set to level 1 (the lowest level).

2. Unplug the unit and remove the shrouds to access the inside.

3. Check that the brass nipple at the end of the brake cable rests in the slot of the tension slide housing.

4. The brake adjuster must be at the top of its slot (toward the center of the flywheel) at resistance level 1, as shown

in Figure 3.19. If it is not at the top of the slot, free up the cable-adjusting sleeve by backing off (loosening) the

lock nut.

5. Rotate the adjuster barrel to make sure the brass nipple and the brake adjuster are touching.

6. Turn the adjuster barrel so that the brake adjuster is all the way at the top of the tension slide housing.

7. Retighten the lock nut to hold the adjuster barrel in place.

8. Plug in the unit and use the Level +/- buttons to test resistance changes, making sure the brake adjuster returns

to the top of the slot when the machine is at level 1.
