Where to place the Inclusive 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 21 to 30 centimeters
( 8 to 12 inches) between the bike and other objects or surfaces on either side. Allow a distance of 1 meter ( 3 feet ) from the
front or rear of the bike to any other object or surface.
How to stabilize the Inclusive 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
A
tightening the jam nut against the stabilizer bar.
The STEP-UP PLATFORM is shipped in a configuration to be placed on the user left side
of the Inclusive Upright Lifecycle® Exercise Bike (as shown). The STEP-UP PLATFORM is
B
designed for use on either side of the Inclusive Upright Lifecycle® Exercise Bike.
If the STEP-UP PLATFORM is to be used on the user right side of the Inclusive Upright Lifecycle® Exercise Bike:
1. Remove the four SCREWS (AA) securing the STEP-UP PLATFORM (BB) to the STEP LOCATOR BRACKET (CC).
2. Flip the STEP LOCATOR BRACKET (CC), align the STEP LOCATOR BRACKET to the STEP-UP PLATFORM (BB)
and secure using the four previously removed SCREWS (AA). Tighten the SCREWS securely. Do not overtighten
the SCREWS.
Peel the protective liner from each of the six NON-SLIP PADS (DD) and place them on the underside of the STEP
LOCATOR BRACKET (CC) as shown.
Carefully lift the rear of the Inclusive Upright Lifecycle Exercise Bike and position the STEP-UP PLATFORM under the
REAR STABILIZER (EE) as shown. Be sure the REAR STABILIZER sits completely on the floor within the STEP
LOCATOR BRACKET (CC).

Check for Battery Power
The Inclusive Upright Lifecycle Exercise Bike console is powered by a rechargeable 6-volt battery. Check the battery by
pressing and holding the power on/off
key. The console should beep and light up. The Message Center on the
console will display a prompt to set up a workout. If a prompt doesn’t appear or initializing doesn’t begin, mount the
Inclusive Upright Lifecycle Bike and begin pedaling. 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 Inclusive Lifecycle Exercise Bike is powered by the external 36V DC power supply, battery
maintenance is automatic and pedaling is not required.
External power
If using the optional external power supply, be sure to plug the power connector to the front of the Inclusive Upright
Lifecycle Bike before plugging the AC power in. Plug the cord into an AC outlet. The console should immediately
beep and light up.
NOTE: If the console does 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 Inclusive 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 Inclusive 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
bottom 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 handle and seat down to the
proper position and release the pin to complete engagement. Gently slide the seat up and
G
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.
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.
7
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 Velcro type safety straps on the pedals of the Inclusive Recumbent Lifecycle Exercise Bike can be adjusted to fit a
variety of shoe sizes. Pull the D-ring (H) upward to separate the two surfaces of the Velcro on the strap (I). Put the foot
on the pedal (J) underneath the strap. Pull the strap with the D-ring to tighten the strap over the foot, then press the
Velcro surfaces of the strap firmly together to ensure that the foot is securely positioned in the pedal.
