1. Preventative Maintenance Chart Every Class Member thoroughly inspect each cycle 1 Member wipe off sweat 2 Weekly For The 1st Month Check and re torque crank arms and pedals 3 Thoroughly inspect each cycle 4 Clean with warm water and soft towel 5 Check computer for low battery indication 6 Monthly Check and re torque crank arms and pedals 3 Wax those areas most in contact with sweat 7 Lubricate T Handle threads used on adjustments 8 1 Each member should thoroughly inspect each cycle to make sure it is in safe and proper working order 2 Each member should wipe off their own sweat after each class with a soft towel their towel or cloth 3 Check and retorque the screw holding the crank arm to the axle and the pedals The torque for both is 35 ft lbs 47Nm 4 Thoroughly inspect each cycle to make sure it is in safe and proper working order Pay particular attention to loose screws nuts amp bolts crank arms pedals pedal cages handlebar saddle T Handle adjustments worn pedal straps etc 5 Clean with warm water and a soft cloth the parts of the cycle that are dirty or come in contact with sweat Do not use household or industrial cleaners because many of them are designed to clean glass tile porcelain and greasy or oily surfaces and can destroy the protective finish of the paint If you need to use soap use a mild dish washing soap followed by an automotive treatment such as M2. about 1 to 1 1 off the top of the handlebar If you do not see the flashing 88 start over from step 1 Calibration Complete Computer Battery Replacement To test the computer batteries rotate the crank arm until the computer wakes up If the battery is low a LO BA will display in the odometer ODO display at the bottom of the computer To replace the batteries unscrew the back of the computer housing and remove old AA batteries and replace with a set of two new AA batteries If you have multiple bikes we suggest all computer batteries be changed at the same time Unscrew Here Lift to Reveal Battery Area
3. becomes to pedal Another major factor that plays a role in resistance is speed The faster the flywheel turns the more energy is generated and thus the more resistance is created Power Force X Velocity Power amount of work being done in a given amount of time by the cyclist force the amount of resistance x velocity the cadence the cyclist is pedaling This is the same formula that all outdoor cycles follow By pedalling faster the difficultly increases as the resistance increases The same applies to the M3 at a set gear the resistance can be increased or decreased by adjusting the cyclists cadence In this way the M3 cycle is very similar to outdoor cycling The higher the gear the higher the cadence the more power produced M3 COMPUTER OVERVIEW The M3 computer is a powerful teaching and programming tool The computer can assist both the instructor and participant by providing immediate feedback as well as tracking on going improvement By experiencing objective cadence power output gears and heart rate the cyclist benefits from a better overall and more effective workout The computer can also be used as a motivating tool to engage participants in their workouts The more participants understand the components of a proper workout the further they can fine tune their performance The goal is to work more effectively and efficiently and achieve better results Line 1 RPM Cadence The RPM display counts the cyclist

8. s revolutions per minute on one crank arm RPM is known in the cycling world as Cadence and roughly is the speed at which the cyclist is pedalling At above 140 RPM the computer will not read and the word STOP will appear to indicate that the cyclist is pedalling faster than he or she needs to be If the cyclist is out of the saddle and wishes to retain sufficient resistance pedalling should not fall below 60 RPM Line 2 Power The power output is displayed in Watts currently generating and Kilocalories total value for the ride The computer toggles back and forth between Watts displayed for eight seconds and Kilocalories displayed for two seconds throughout the ride Line 3 Heart Rate If there is no heart rate signal a steady heart symbol and a zero will be displayed If a participant is wearing a heart rate strap and once the computer locks onto the signal the heart symbol will blink and display the heart rate Please note that the heart rate strap must be Polar compatible and coded Line 4 Pedaling or Elapsed Time The number shown reports the total time spent cycling and will reset to zero after 60 seconds of inactivity or if computer is reset using the gear lever Line 5 Odometer Trip Distance and Gear For the first eight seconds when the computer is first activated the odometer will display the total distance the cycle has been ridden This feature is for service and maintenance purposes only After eight seconds t
