If a tube is pre-installed in the stabilizer bracket, remove and discard safely.
NOTICE: Leave the plastic cap (b) in place to prevent the Frame cable connector from falling down into the machine.
Make sure the hardware is fully tightened.

Install the Handlebar to the Handlebar Post
NOTICE: Remove the AC Adapter from the Handlebar. The hardware (*) is pre-installed.
After installation, make sure the hardware is fully tightened.

Attach the Handlebar Assembly and Seat Stem to the Frame Assembly
Do not set the Seat Stem or Handlebar Post position higher than the stop mark (STOP) on the tube.
NOTICE: Make sure the Handlebar Post Adjustment Handle is fully tightened to secure it on the Handlebar Post, and the Seat Stem Adjustment Handle is fully tightened to secure it on the Seat Stem. When fully tightened, the Adjustment Handles must point downward.
Note: To adjust the height after the handle is tightened, loosen the handle as you hold the upright post to prevent it from dropping. Move it to the desired position and tighten the handle. Pull the handle out to disengage and turn so that it points down, then release.

Install the Seat Assembly to the Frame Assembly
NOTICE: Remove the pre-installed hardware () from the Seat Stem. Slide the Seat Assembly into position. Attach the Seat Stem End Cap with the hardware (). Make sure the Seat Adjustment Handle is fully tightened to secure the Seat Assembly on the Seat Stem. When fully tightened, the Adjustment Handle must point rearward.
Note: To adjust the seat after the handle is tightened, loosen the handle. Move the seat to the desired position and tighten the handle. Pull the handle out to disengage and turn so that it points rearward, then release.

Attach the Console Mast to the Frame Assembly
NOTICE: Leave the plastic cap (b) in place to prevent the Frame cable connector from falling down into the machine. Connect the Console Mast cable to the Frame cable. Remove the wire from the Console Mast cable and pull the connector out of the Console Mast tube. Gently pull the cable from the top of the Console Mast to remove all slack. Do not pinch or cut the cables.

Remove the pre-installed hardware (*) from the Frame. Carefully slide the Console Mast into position. Hand tighten the screws at the base of the Console Mast.

Attach the Adjustable Console Mast to the Frame Assembly
NOTICE: Remove the pre-installed hardware () from the Adjustable Console Mast. Use the pull cable in the Adjustable Console Mast to route the Console Mast cable through the round hole at the base of the Adjustable Console Mast tube to the opening at the top. Attach the Adjustable Console Mast with the hardware (). Do not pinch or cut the cables. The ease of Console rotation can be adjusted by the tightness of the pivot screw.

Install the Console to the Frame Assembly
NOTICE: Remove the Console mast cover (12a) and pre-installed hardware(*) from the back of the Console before you connect the cables.
Route the Console cable through the Console Mount up to the opening at the top. Connect the Console cable and Console Mast cable. Do not pinch or cut the cables.

NOTICE: Push the extra wire down into the Console Mast. Reinstall the console hardware (*). Install the Console Mast End Cap (13) and Console mast cover (12a). Do not pinch or cut the cables.
Make sure the Console and Console Mast are aligned with the machine, then fully tighten the screws at the base of the Console Mast.

Attach Pedals to Frame Assembly
If the threads strip due to improper installation, then the Pedals can disengage from the bike and/or break while under usage, which can result in serious injury to the user.
Note: The Left Pedal is reverse-threaded. Be sure to attach Pedals on the proper side of the Bike. Orientation is based from a seated position on the bike. The Left Pedal has an “L”, the Right Pedal an “R”.
NOTICE: The Pedals MUST be installed straight into the Crank Arms by hand or the threads that secure the Pedals may strip. Start the Pedal by hand.
If you feel resistance and the Pedal does not turn smoothly into the Crank Arm, make sure that the threads are aligned correctly. Be sure that the Pedal is going on straight into the Crank Arm. If the Pedal is not in-line with the opening, remove the Pedal and start again.

With the Pedal started by several hand turns into the Crank Arm, fully tighten it with the 15 mm Wrench.
Confirm that the Pedal is fully tightened with the Wrench.
Repeat with the other Pedal.
