Adjustment Procedures
About
Adjustment procedures provide you with the step-by-step adjustment instructions to bring sys-
tems and components into specification. Perform the adjustment procedures whenever a
trouble symptom points to a particular component and after a major component is removed/re-
placed.

AutoCal
(Spinner
®
Chrono™ Power bikes only)
AutoCal is an automatic power (WATTS) measurement calibration feature offered on
Spinner
®
Chrono™ Power model bikes. To insure accurate power (WATTS) results, an
AutoCal should be performed before starting a workout.
AutoCal removes strain gauge sensor and brake pad magnetic field errors from the Power
measurement (WATTS) results. Items you should know to perform a good AutoCal:
l
AutoCal is performed every time the pedals stop moving for more than 3-5 seconds.
l
The resistance must be completely removed (resistance knob turned fully coun-
terclockwise) while AutoCal is being performed.
l
The brake pads must be correctly gaped to achieve a good AutoCal, see
Two use cases that can cause a bad AutoCal
There are two common use cases that can inadvertently cause an inaccurate AutoCal:
l
Exerciser momentarily stops and starts pedaling during a workout.
Momentarily stopping and starting the pedals during a workout for more than 3-5
seconds will start a new AutoCal. If the resistance was not set to minimum, the Autocal
will be bad resulting in inaccurate power WATTS measurements.
