OWNER’S MANUAL
5.0U Upright Exercise Bike
UPRIGHT BIKE OPERATION
HOW TO MOVE THE UPRIGHT BIKE
Due to the weight of the Upright Bike, it is recommended that two people
move it. While one person lifts the back of the Upright Bike, the second
person firmly holds the handlebar and tips the Upright Bike forward until it
rolls on the wheels. Carefully move the Upright Bike to the desired location
and then lower it.
If the Upright Bike rocks on the floor after being set down, turn the leveling
feet underneath the front or rear stabilizer until the rocking motion is
eliminated. LOCATION OF THE UPRIGHT BIKE
Place the Upright Bike on a level surface. There should be 2 feet (60 cm) on
each side surrounding the Upright Bike.
Do not place the cycle in any area that will block any vent or air openings.
The Upright Bike should not be located in a garage, covered patio, near water
or outdoors.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, use extreme caution while moving the Upright
Bike. Do not attempt to move it over uneven surfaces and make sure there’s a
clear space of 24 inches (minimum) on all sides of the equipment.
HOW TO ADJUST THE UPRIGHT BIKE
The Upright Bike can be adjusted for maximum comfort and exercise
effectiveness. The instructions below describe one approach to adjusting the
Upright Bike to ensure optimal user comfort and ideal body positioning; you
may choose to adjust the Upright Bike differently.
WARNING
Do not adjust seat height past MAX mark on post. Tighten knob “B” fully before
use. SEAT ADJUSTMENT
Proper seat height helps ensure maximum exercise efficiency and comfort, while
reducing the risk of injury.
Adjust the seat height to make sure it’s in proper position, one that keeps a
slight bend in your knee while your legs are in the extended position.
A. Seat Horizontal Position
Rotate the seat adjustment knob counterclockwise to slide the seat forward or
backward as desired. Rotate the knob clockwise to lock the position. Test the
seat slide for proper operation.
B. Seat Height
Turn the adjustment knob counterclockwise and adjust the seat to a comfortable
pedaling position. Rotate the knob clockwise to lock seat position.
C. Pedal Straps
Place the ball of the foot into the strap until it‘s centered over the pedal,
reach down and pull the pedal strap up to tighten prior to use. To remove your
foot from the strap, loosen the strap and pull out.

TROUBLESHOOTING & MAINTENANCE
COMMON PRODUCT QUESTIONS
ARE THE SOUNDS MY Upright Bike MAKES NORMAL?
Our Upright Bikes are some of the quietest available because they use belt
drives and magnetic brake resistance. We use the highest grade bearings and
chains/belts to minimize noise. However, because the resistance system itself
is so quiet, you will occasionally hear other slight mechanical noises. Unlike
older, louder technologies, there are no fans, friction belts, or alternator
noises to mask these sounds on our Upright Bikes. These mechanical noises,
which may or may not be intermittent, are normal and are caused by the
transfer of significant amounts of energy to a rapidly spinning flywheel. All
bearings, chains/ belts and other rotating parts will generate some noise
which will transmit through the casing and frame. It is also normal for these
sounds to change slightly during a workout and over time because of thermal
expansion of the parts.
WHY IS THE Upright Bike I HAD DELIVERED LOUDER THAN THE ONE AT THE STORE
?
All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is
generally more background noise than in your home. Also, there will be less
reverberation on a carpeted concrete floor than on a wood overlay floor.
Sometimes a heavy rubber mat will help reduce reverberation through the floor.
If a fitness product is placed close to a wall, there will be more reflected
noise.
HOW LONG WILL THE BELT LAST?
The computer modeling we have done indicated virtually thousands of
maintenance free hours. You should not have to replace the belt as long as you
have the Upright Bike.
CAN I MOVE THE Upright Bike EASILY ONCE IT IS ASSEMBLED?
Your Upright Bike has a pair of transport wheels built into the front
stabilizer tube. Please follow the moving the Upright Bike section to
transport your Upright Bike. It is important that you place your Upright Bike
in a comfortable and inviting room. Your Upright Bike is designed to use
minimal floor space. Many people will place their Upright Bikes facing the TV
or a window. If at all possible, avoid putting your Upright Bike in an
unfinished basement. To make exercise a desirable daily activity for you, the
Upright Bike should be in a comfortable setting.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
PROBLEM: The Upright Bike makes a squeaking or chirping noise.
SOLUTION: Verify the following:
- The Upright Bike is on a level surface.
- Loosen all bolts attached during the assembly process, grease the threads, and tighten again.
If this does not remedy the problem, you may
CONTACT CUSTOMER TECH SUPPORT AT THE NUMBER ON THE BACK PANEL.
The following information may be asked of you when you call. Please have these
items readily available:
- Model Name
- Serial Number
- Proof of Purchase (receipt or credit card statement)
You may find more troubleshooting suggestions on the customer support section
of our website. Contact customer support using the contact information on the
BACK PANEL.
In order for Customer Tech Support to service your Upright Bike they may need
to ask detailed questions about the symptoms that are occurring. Some
troubleshooting questions that may be asked are:
- How long has this problem been occurring?
- Does this problem occur with every use? With every user?
- If you are hearing a noise, does it come from the front or the back? What kind of noise is it (thumping, grinding, squeaking, chirping etc.)?
- Has the machine been lubricated and maintained per the maintenance schedule?
Answering these and other questions will give the technicians the ability to send proper replacement parts and the service necessary to get you and your Upright Bike running again!
MAINTENANCE
What kind of routine maintenance is required?
Minimal maintenance and cleaning is required. We use sealed bearings
throughout our bikes so lubrication is not needed.
The most important maintenance step is to simply wipe your perspiration off
the bike after each use.
How do I clean my bike?
Clean with mild soap and water cleaners only. Never use solvents on plastic
parts. Cleanliness of your bike and its operating environment will keep
maintenance problems and service calls to a minimum. For this reason, we
recommend that the following preventive maintenance schedule be followed.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
AFTER EACH USE
Clean the Upright Bike using soft cloths or paper towels or other gentle
solution (cleaning agents should be alcohol and ammonia free). Disinfect the
saddle and handlebars and wipe off all bodily residues.
BEFORE EACH USE
Make sure that the Upright Bike is level and does not rock. Ensure that the
pedals are tight in crank arms and not crossthreaded, all screws on pedals are
tight, and pedal straps are not frayed.
MONTHLY
Inspect all assembly bolts and pedals on themachine for proper tightness.
Adhering to this schedule will extend the life of your machine.
