MAINTENANCE

Inspect and tighten all parts of the L.E.X.

regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

For continued smooth operation of the L.E.X., the

Stabilizer (4) should be kept clean. Using a soft cloth

and mild detergent, clean any dust and residue that

may build up where the Wheels (60) move on the

Stabilizer. Other components of the L.E.X. can also be

cleaned in this manner.

IMPORTANT: Never use abrasives or solvents to

clean the L.E.X.. To prevent damage to the con-

sole, keep liquids away from the console and

keep the console out of direct sunlight.

LUBRICATING THE HANDLEBARS

If a squeaking sound is heard when the Handlebars

(10, 11) are moved, a small amount of grease should

be applied. Refer to the drawing below. Turn the

Resistance Knob (30) counterclockwise and remove it.

Remove the Star Washer (29). Using pliers, grip the

head of the Carriage Bolt (32) and remove it. Apply a

thin film of grease to both sides of the Handlebar Caps

(28). Reattach all parts, making sure that they are in

the positions shown.

Grease

ELECTRONIC MONITOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING

If the console does not function properly, the batteries

should be replaced. To replace the batteries, see

assembly step 7 on page 8. In addition, make sure

that the console wire is connected to the extension

wire. See assembly step 6 on page 7.

HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH

If the console does not display correct feedback, the

reed switch should be adjusted. In order to adjust the

reed switch, the Left Side Shield (5) must be removed.

Remove the 1/2Ó Nylon Locknut (37) from the Pedal

Bolt (36). Turn the Pedal Bolt and remove it from the

Crank (38); do not remove the Pedal Bolt from the

Left Pedal Arm (7). Set the Left Pedal Arm aside.

Remove the three M4 x 38mm Screws (66) from the

bottom of the Left Side Shield (5). Grasp both Side

Shields at the top and gently pull them apart. Make

sure that the arm of the Crank (38) is in the position

shown in the drawing above. Hold the Left Side Shield

at the rear and pull it gently away from the frame.

Work the Left Side Shield forward off the arm of the

Crank and remove it.

Next, locate the

Reed Switch (3).

Loosen, but do

not remove, the

M4 x 16mm

Screw (51).

Slide the Reed

Switch slightly

toward or away

from the magnet

on the pulley.

Retighten the

Screw. Turn the Crank (38) for a moment. Repeat until

the console displays correct feedback. When the Reed

Switch is correctly adjusted, reattach the left side

shield.

HOW TO ADJUST THE TENSION BELT

If the pedals do not have enough resistance, even

when the pedal resistance knob is turned to the maxi-

mum setting, the Resistance Belt (24) may need to be

adjusted. To adjust the Resistance Belt, the left side

shield must be removed. Refer to the instructions at

the left to remove the left side shield.

Next, turn the

pedal resistance

knob to its low-

est setting.

Locate and

open the latch

on the Resis-

tance Belt

Clamp (49).

Grip the end of

the Resistance

Belt (24) and

pull it down to remove any slack. While holding the

end of the Tension Belt, close the latch on the Tension

Belt Clamp. Turn the Crank (38) for a moment to

make sure that there is not too much resistance.

When the resistance strap is properly adjusted, reat-

tach the left side shield.

HOW TO USE THE PROFORM¨L.E.X.

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE L.E.X.

To mount the L.E.X., pin the handlebars in the station-

ary position, hold the handlebars, and step onto the

pedal that is in the lowest position. Next, step onto the

other pedal. Push the pedals until they begin to move

with a continuous motion. Note: The crank can turn

in either direction; it is recommended that you

turn the crank in the direction shown below;

however, to give variety to your exercise, you may

choose to turn the crank in the opposite direction.

To dismount the L.E.X., allow the pedals to slowly

come to a stop. CAUTION: The L.E.X. does not

have a freewheel; the pedals will continue to

move until the flywheel stops. When the pedals are

stationary, step off the highest pedal first. Then, step

off the lowest pedal.

HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE OF THE

PEDALS

As you exercise,

you can adjust

the resistance of

the pedals with

the resistance

knob mounted

on the upright.

To increase the

resistance, turn

the knob clock-

wise; to

decrease the

resistance, turn

the knob counterclockwise.

HOW TO USE THE HANDLEBARS IN THE

STATIONARY POSITION

To focus on lower-body exercise, the handlebars can

be pinned in a stationary position. To do this, align the

holes in the handlebars with the hole in the handlebar

post. Next, insert the lock pin through the handlebars

and the handlebar post (see the drawing below).

Note: If it is difficult to insert the lock pin, twist the

handlebars slightly in order to align the holes; do not

twist the handlebars too far or they may be dam-

aged. Next, tighten the resistance knob.

HOW TO USE THE HANDLEBARS IN THE

DUAL-MOTION POSITION

To add upper-body exercise to your workout, remove

the lock pin from the handlebars and the handlebar

post (see the drawing above). Keep the lock pin in a

safe place. The resistance of the handlebars can be

adjusted with the resistance knob. To increase the

resistance, turn the knob clockwise; to decrease the

resistance, turn the knob counterclockwise.

To exercise, move the handlebars forward and back-

ward as you pedal. Be sure to keep your back straight

and your knees bent slightly.
