USER MANUAL GR7 Horizon Fitness

Due to the weight of the Indoor Cycle, it is recommended that two persons move it. While one person lifts the back of the indoor cycle, the second person firmly holds the handlebar and tips the indoor cycle forward until it rolls on the wheels. Carefully move the Indoor Cycle to the desired location and then lower it. If the Indoor Cycle rocks on the floor after being set down, turn the leveling feet underneath the front or rear stabilizer until the rocking motion is eliminated. Leveling Feet To reduce the risk of injury, use extreme caution while moving the indoor cycle. Do not attempt to move it over uneven surfaces and make sure there’s a safety space of 20 inch (minimum) to the nearest equipment is recommended. WARNING

INDOOR CYCLE Place the Indoor Cycle on a level surface. There should be 2 feet (60 cm) of each side surround the Indoor Cycle. Do not place the cycle in any area that will block any vent or air openings. The Indoor Cycle should not be located in a garage, covered patio, near water or outdoors. Firmly grasp the handlebars, carefully tip toward you, and roll on the transport wheels. GR7 GR7s

HOW TO ADJUST THE INDOOR CYCLE

The Indoor Cycle can be adjusted for maximum comfort and exercise effectiveness. The instructions below describe one approach to adjusting the Indoor Cycle to ensure optimal user comfort and ideal body positioning; you may choose to adjust the Indoor Cycle differently. SADDLE ADJUSTMENT Proper saddle height helps ensure maximum exercise efficiency and comfort, while reducing the risk of injury. Adjust the saddle height to make sure it’s in proper position, one that keeps a slightly bend in your knee while your legs are in the extended position. HANDLEBAR ADJUSTMENT Proper position for the handlebar is based primarily on comfort. Typically, the handlebar should be positioned slightly higher than the saddle for beginning cyclists. Advanced cyclists could try different heights to get the arrangement most suitable for you. TO ADJUST THE SADDLE HEIGHT: Rotate the adjustment lever counterclockwise and adjust the saddle to a comfortable pedaling position. Rotate the lever clockwise to lock saddle position. TO ADJUST THE SADDLE HORIZONTAL POSITION: Rotate the adjustment lever counterclockwise to slide the saddle forward or backward as desired. Rotate the lever clockwise to lock saddle position. Test the saddle slide for proper operation. GR7

HZ18_GR7-GR7s OM r1_0_A.indd 6-7 6/27/18 11:30 AM98 GR7 GR7 GR7s GR7 GR7s TO ADJUST THE HANDLEBAR HEIGHT: Rotate the adjustment lever counterclockwise to adjust the handlebar height. Raise or lower the handlebar to the desired height. Rotate the lever clockwise to lock handlebar position. TO ADJUST THE PEDAL STRAPS: Place each foot ankle on the pedal and in the toe clip that the foot ankle is centered over the pedal spindle (center of the pedal). Rotate one foot to arms reach and pull up on the toe clip strap. Repeat for the other foot. Keep your knees over your feet as you pedal. To remove your foot from the toe clip, loosen the strap and pull out.

RESISTANCE CONTROL AND EMERGENCY BRAKE

The preferred level of difficulty in pedaling (resistance) can be regulated in fine increments by use of the resistance control lever. To increase the resistance, push down the resistance control lever. To decrease the resistance, pull up the lever. IMPORTANT:

• To stop the flywheel while pedaling, push down to extremely on the resistance control lever.

• The flywheel should quickly come to a complete stop.

• Make sure your shoes are fixed into the toe clip.

• Apply full resistance load when the bike is not in use to prevent injuries due to moving drive gear components. Resistance control / Emergency brake The Indoor Cycle does not have a free moving flywheel; the pedals will continue to move together with the flywheel until the flywheel stops. Reducing speed in a controlled manner is required. To stop the flywheel immediately, push down to extremely on the resistance control lever. Always pedal in a controlled manner and adjust your desired cadence according to your own abilities. Push down extremely the resistance control lever down = emergency stop. WARNING The Indoor Cycle uses a fixed flywheel that builds momentum and will keep the pedals turning even after the user stops pedaling or if the user’s feet slip off. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE YOUR FEET FROM THE PEDALS OR DISMOUNT THE MACHINE UNTIL BOTH THE PEDALS AND THE FLYWHEEL HAVE COMPLETELY STOPPED. Failure to follow these instructions may lead to loss of control and the potential for serious injury. WARNING GR7 The pedal straps should be adjusted to hold the foot snugly in the pedal .

ARE THE SOUNDS MY Indoor Cycle MAKES NORMAL? Our Indoor Cycles are some of the quietest available because they use belt drives and cantilever 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 Indoor Cycles. 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 Indoor Cycle 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 Indoor Cycle. CAN I MOVE THE Indoor Cycle EASILY ONCE IT IS ASSEMBLED? Your Indoor Cycle has a pair of transport wheels built into the front stabilizer tube. Please follow the moving the Indoor Cycle section to transport your Indoor Cycle. It is important that you place your Indoor Cycle in a comfortable and inviting room. Your Indoor Cycle is designed to use minimal floor space. Many people will place their Indoor Cycles facing the TV or a picture window. If at all possible, avoid putting your Indoor Cycle in an unfinished basement. To make exercise a desirable daily activity for you, the Indoor Cycle should be in a comfortable setting. TROUBLES HOOTING PROBLEM: The Indoor Cycle makes a squeaking or chirping noise. SOLUTION: Verify the following:

• The Indoor Cycle is on a level surface.

• Loosen all bolts attached during the assembly process, grease the threads, and tighten again. In order for Customer Tech Support to service your Indoor Cycle 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 Indoor Cycle running again! If this does not remedy the problem, you may CONTACT CUSTOMER TECH SUPPORT AT THE NUMBER ON THE INFORMATION CARD. The following information may be asked of you when you call. Please have these items readily available:

• 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 INFORMATION CARD. ENGLISH ENGLISH HZ18_GR7-GR7s OM r1_0_A.indd 22-23 6/27/18 11:30 AM2524 MAINTENANCE The safety level given by the design of the Indoor Cycle can only be maintained when the equipment is regularly examined for damage and wear. Inoperable components should be replaced or the equipment should be put out of use until it is repaired. DAILY

• Wipe down the Indoor Cycle after each use to remove sweat and moisture. Use soap and water, or a diluted non-abrasive domestic cleaner solution. Rinse to remove detergent residue and then dry off.

• Before each session, inspect for loose components such as pedals or cranks prior to commencing the next use. Tighten up any loose parts. WEEKLY

• Check for proper flywheel alignment. Torque flywheel nuts as necessary.

• Remove chain guard and check for loose chain. Adjust and lubricate the chain as necessary.

• Check to make sure the crank arms are tight to the bottom bracket.

• Inspect all parts, nuts, bolts, or screws for adjustments, replacements or maintenance. MONTHLY

• Inspect the frame and main assembly components for rust or corrosion. Tilt the cycle or place in an upside down position to locate areas where rust and corrosion may develop. Use a small, wire brush to remove rust build-up in small crevasses, such as leveling feet, quick release levers and other bolt assemblies.

• Inspect all wear items for adjustments or possible part replacement. Give particular attention to the following: A) Inspect brake pad for wear. Excessive wear or dryness indicates replacement is required. B) Inspect seat pad for wear. Rips, tears or excessive movement indicates replacement is required. C) Inspect pedals for play. Excessive movement of pedals indicates replacement is required.

• Inspect the chain for tensioning by rotating the crank to drive the flywheel forward. Do this motion in 1/4 turns to assess if there is free play between the crank and the flywheel.

• Dryness or prolonged use may cause the height and reach adjustments for the seat and handlebar to become tight. If this is the case, the sliding assembly should be removed from the frame and have a smear of light duty grease applied along the sliding surface before assembly. Similarly, apply some light grease to the clamping assembly to ensure it does not seize up. Clean off excessive grease before reassembly.

• Please lubricate the seat post, brake pad and handlebar adjustment regularly with lubricant in your parts package.
