Whilst another person holds the Upright (2) near the Frame (1) as shown, connect the Upper Wire (44) to the Reed Switch Wire (53). Next, connect the Resistance Cable (45) to the Lower Resistance Cable (65) in the following way: • See drawing A. Pull up on the metal bracket, and insert the tip of the Resistance Cable (45) into the wire clip on the Lower Resistance Cable (65) as shown. • See drawing B. Firmly pull the Resistance Cable (45) and slide it into the metal bracket on the Lower Resistance Cable (65) as shown. • See drawing C. Using pliers, squeeze the prongs on the upper end of the metal bracket together. Slide the Upright (2) onto the Frame (1); make sure not to pinch the wires or cables. Attach the Upright with two M10 x 74mm Button Bolts (67), two M10 Nylon Locknuts (33), and two M10 Split Washers (59). Do not tighten the Button Bolts yet. 4.

If the console does not display correct feedback, the
reed switch should be adjusted. To adjust the reed
switch, first see assembly step 8 on page 8 and
remove the Pedals (13, 14). Next, see step 7 on page
7 and remove the Pedal Arms (11, 12).
Next, remove all of the Screws (51, 70) from the right
Pedal Disc (15), and slide the Pedal Disc off. Remove
all Screws (52, 64, 69) from the Right Side Shield (4),
and remove the Right Side Shield. Remove all
Screws (52) from the Left Side Shield (3), and remove
the Left Side Shield.
Next, see the drawing below and locate the Reed
Switch (53). Loosen, but do not remove, the indicated
Screw (52). Slide the Reed Switch slightly toward or
away from the Magnet (58) on the flywheel. Retighten
the Screw. Turn the left Pedal Disc (15) for a moment.
Repeat until the console displays correct feedback.
When the Reed Switch (53) is correctly adjusted, reat-
tach the Side Shields (3, 4), the right Pedal Disc (15),
the Pedal Arms (11, 12), and the Pedals (13, 14).
