Frequently Asked Questions - Elite IC7 Horizon Fitness

How to move the Elite IC7 indoor bike?

Due to its weight, it is recommended that two people move the bike. One person lifts the rear while the other holds the handlebar and tilts the bike forward to position it on the integrated transport wheels. Roll gently to the desired location, then set it down. Ensure the leveling feet are adjusted for optimal stability.

How to adjust the seat height?

Rotate the adjustment lever counterclockwise to loosen, adjust the seat to the desired height (knees slightly bent at the bottom of the pedal stroke), then lock by turning the lever clockwise. Do not exceed the pilot marks on the post.

How to adjust resistance and use the emergency brake?

To increase resistance, turn the adjustment knob clockwise; to decrease, turn counterclockwise. For an immediate stop, lower the red emergency brake lever. Note: the flywheel is fixed, the pedals continue to rotate until complete stop.

How to install and use the heart rate belt?

Moisten the two rubber electrodes of the belt with water. Center the strap just below the chest, directly over the sternum, with the logo facing outward. Tighten it properly for accurate readings. The console will automatically display heart rate.

Why is my indoor bike making noise?

Horizon Fitness indoor bikes are designed to be silent thanks to a belt drive and overhung resistance. However, slight mechanical noises (intermittent or continuous) are normal and come from the energy transfer to the flywheel. If the noise becomes abnormal, check that the unit is on a flat surface and that all bolts are tight.

How long does the drive belt last?

Computer modeling indicates thousands of hours of operation without maintenance. You will not need to replace the belt for the life of the bike, except in exceptional wear.

What daily and weekly maintenance is recommended?

Each day: wipe off sweat and moisture with a mild soap or non-abrasive cleaner, then rinse and dry. Before each session: inspect pedals and cranks. Each week: check flywheel alignment, chain tension (under the cover), and tighten all fasteners.

What to do if the console does not turn on or displays abnormal data?

Check the CR2032 battery behind the console. If the display is abnormal, remove the battery and reinstall it. After 4 minutes of inactivity, the console goes into sleep mode (displays temperature and time); press any key to wake.

What safety precautions should be observed?

Never remove feet from pedals until the flywheel has completely stopped. Use the red emergency brake lever if needed. Place the bike on a flat surface with clear space of 193 cm behind, 91 cm on each side and 30 cm in front. Do not use outdoors or near water source.

How to replace wear parts like the brake pad or seat?

Regularly inspect the brake pad: replace it if excessively worn or dry. The seat should be changed if the padding is torn or moves excessively. The pedals should be replaced if they have play. Contact customer service for appropriate parts.

HOW TO MOVE THE INDOOR CYCLE

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.

LOCATION OF THE INDOOR CYCLE

Place the Indoor Cycle on a level surface. There should be 6 feet (183 cm) of clearance behind the Indoor Cycle, 3 feet (91 cm) on each side and 1 foot (30 cm) in front of 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.

WARNING

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.

TENSION CONTROL AND EMERGENCY BRAKE

The preferred level of difficulty in pedaling (resistance) can be regulated in fine increments by use of the tension control knob. To increase the resistance, turn the tension control knob clockwise. To decrease the resistance, turn the knob counter clockwise.

IMPORTANT:

• To stop the flywheel while pedaling, push down on the red emergency brake lever.
- The flywheel should quickly come to a complete stop.
- Apply full resistance load when the bike is not in use to prevent injuries due to moving drive gear components.

WARNING

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 the rod emergency brake lever. Always pedal in a controlled manner and adjust your desired cadence according to your own abilities. Push the rod lever down = emergency step.

TROUBLESHOOTING & MAINTENANCE

COMMON PRODUCT QUESTIONS

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.

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!

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 light 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.
