MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Checking the Battery Charge
1.
Using your multimeter, touch the red lead to the positive terminal of the battery and the black lead to the
negative terminal.
2.
If the voltage level is less than 6.1 VDC, charge the battery.
Recharging the Battery Back-Up
The Commercial Series U916 and R916 bikes are both self-powered (cordless) with a rechargeable battery back-
up. Typically, the bike can be operated without plugging in the battery charger. If, however, the console flickers
during operation or the console display does not light up while using the machine, then use the battery charger to
recharge the battery back-up.
The battery charger is supplied with the unit and plugs into a standard 115 volt, 15 amp outlet, or a 220 volt, 15
amp outlet. (All major voltage plugs are available.) The plug-in for the battery
charger is located in the front of the machine at the base.
NOTE:
If installing the optional LCD Monitor, refer to the NV915 installation
manual at this time.
Plug the wall pack battery charger into the connector and charge the battery
for approximately 24 hours and then recheck it. It is okay to use the machine
while the battery charger is connected.
The console will power on as user starts to pedal machine, and will stay lit for
up to 60 seconds in pause mode. The console will power off after 60 seconds
of stopping exercise.
Battery Disposal
When ordering new batteries, you will need to properly dispose of (recycle) your old lead-acid batteries. Most
federal and state regulations require lead-acid batteries to be recycled. Do not throw away old batteries. Lead
is a toxic heavy metal, hazardous to living organisms. Disposal instructions and a list of recycling centers are
tabulated in the Appendix. If you have questions, contact the Customer Service Department at 800-628-8458
(North America) or +41-26-460-77-77 (International office).
