NOTE: Do not modify the plug provided with this product. If the plug does not fit into an available electrical outlet, have a prop-  
er outlet installed by a qualified electrician.  
WHERE TO PLACE THE UPRIGHT LIFECYCLE® EXERCISE BIKE  
Following all safety instructions in Section 1.1, move the bike to the location in which it will be used. See Section 3, titled  
Specifications, for the dimensions of the product footprint (assembled dimensions). Allow a distance of 8 to 12 inches, or 21  
to 30 centimeters, between the bike and other objects or surfaces on either side. Allow a distance of 3 feet, or 1 meter, from  
the front or rear of the bike to any other object or surface.  
HOW TO STABILIZE THE UPRIGHT LIFECYCLE® EXERCISE BIKE  
After placing the bike in position, check the unit’s stability by attempting to rock it from side to side. Any slight rocking  
indicates that the unit must be leveled. Determine which foot is not resting completely on the floor. Loosen the jam nut  
(A) with an open-end M17 wrench, and rotate the stabilizing foot (B) to lower it. Verify that the bike is stable, and repeat  
the adjustment as necessary until the unit no longer rocks. Lock the adjustment by tightening the jam nut against the  
stabilizer bar.

CHECK FOR BATTERY POWER  
The Achieve and Inspire consoles are powered by a rechargeable 6-volt battery. Check the battery by pressing and hold-  
ing the power on/off  
key. The console should beep and light up. The Message Center on the Achieve console will  
display a prompt to set up a workout. The Inspire console will show a message on the LCD indicating it is initializing (for  
up to 2 minutes). If a prompt doesn’t appear or initializing doesn’t begin, mount the Upright Lifecycle Bike and begin ped-  
aling. The console should light up and programming a workout should be possible. Pedal for 20 minutes at 40 RPM or faster  
during a workout to charge the battery. The pedal action during workouts keeps the battery charged. If the Lifecycle Exercise  
Bike is externally powered by the 36V DC power supply, battery maintenance is automatic and pedaling is not required.

1.2 SETUP  
CHECK FOR EXTERNAL POWER  
The Engage(15” LCD) console is powered by an external AC-DC 36-volt power supply. Make sure to plug the external  
power connector to the front of the Upright Lifecycle Bike before plugging the AC power in. Plug the cord into an  
AC outlet. The console should immediately beep and light up. The Engage console will show a message indicating it is  
initializing (for up to 2 minutes).  
NOTE: If any of the consoles do not light up, contact Life Fitness Customer Service (refer to page one of this manual).  
The following connection receptacles are located at the front of the Upright Lifecycle Exercise Bike: Attachable TV power  
(C), coaxial cable (D), external power for the Engage console or optional external power (E), and fitness networking (F).  
CAUTION: Connectors should easily fit into the receptacles. Forcing a connection may lead to damage to the  
barrel connector and/or receptacle and may void product warranty.

HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT  
A properly adjusted seat is extremely important in any bike-oriented exercise activity and the Upright Lifecycle Bike is no  
exception. If the seat is too close, excessive strain will be placed on the knees and quadriceps muscles; if the seat is too  
far, the resulting reaching action will irritate the feet, ankles, hips and knees.  
Sit on the seat and place the balls of the feet on the pedals. An optimum position will allow movement through the bot-  
tom of the stroke without locking the knees or shifting in the seat. The knees should have a slight bend at the point of  
fullest leg extension.  
If the seat needs to be adjusted lower, lift the spring-loaded adjusting handle (G) located underneath the nose of the seat.  
Hold both the handle and nose of the seat with one hand and use the other hand to grab the rear of the seat. Slide the han-  
dle and seat down to the proper position and release the pin to complete engagement. Gently slide the seat up and down a  
small distance to ensure it is locked into place. Check the seat distance again and re-adjust it if necessary. If the seat needs  
to be adjusted higher, grab the seat and slide it up to the proper position. When adjusting the seat to a higher position, the  
user does not have to lift the spring-loaded adjusting handle. Gently slide the seat up to the proper position.  
G
CAUTION: Do not attempt to adjust the seat while pedaling the bike or sitting on the seat. Doing so may result  
in an uncomfortable workout or cause injury.  
MISE EN GARDE: N'essayez pas de régler la place en cyclisme la bicyclette ou en vous assoyant sur la place.  
L'action peut ainsi s'ensuivre dans une séance de mise en forme inconfortable ou provoquer la blessure.

1.2 SETUP  
HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDAL STRAPS  
The bike pedal straps keep the user’s shoes on the pedals during a workout. The straps should fit comfortably, but they  
also should be tight enough to prevent shoes from slipping at any point in the pedaling rotation. Before working out, a user  
should test and adjust the tightness of the straps.  
The safety straps on the foot pedals of the Upright Lifecycle Exercise Bike can be adjusted to fit a variety of shoe sizes.  
Use one hand to push the strap latch (H) upward to loosen the ribbed strap (I). Use the other hand to pull the ribbed  
strap out from underneath the strap latch. Rest the foot on the pedal (J). Wrap the ribbed strap over the foot to deter-  
mine the desired length. Push the strap latch upward and thread the ribbed strap through the strap latch to select the  
appropriate slot. Let go of the strap latch to secure position.
