Schwinn IC4 Bike Assembly Video

Video Transcript:

Begin by selecting an area where you are going to set up and operate your Bike.

For safe operation, the machine must be located on a hard, level surface.

Please allow a minimum work area of 24 inches around the perimeter of the Bike.

Be sure that the workout space you choose has adequate height clearance, taking into consideration the height of the user, and maximum incline of the fitness Bike.

Before you begin the assembly, please make sure you read the assembly manual thoroughly, as it contains important safety warnings and assembly tips.

Please note that there are some steps in the assembly process that might require two people to help with the assembly. Some components of the machine can be heavy or unwieldy. Please use a second person when doing assembly involving these parts.

For assembly assistance, please visit us online or give us a call

Check the assembly manual for a complete parts list.

Please note that a right ("R"), and left ("L") decal has been applied to some parts to assist with assembly.

The following wrenches are included with your assembly: A #2 screwdriver, a 3mm and 6mm Allen Wrench, and a combination 15mm and 17mm Wrench.

Step 1, Attaching the Stabilizers to the Frame.

It is recommended someone assists you with this step.

Begin step 1 by locating the Main Frame, Part 7.

Next, locate the Front Stabilizer, Part 8, and set it in front of the Frame.

If a tube is pre-installed in the stabilizer bracket, remove and set it safely aside.

The Stabilizer has pre-installed hardware that will have to be removed.

Using the provided 6mm Allen Wrench, remove the top screws.

Next, with some assistance, tilt the frame, and insert the Stabilizer in front of the Frame.

Slowly push it in place, matching the top holes.

Once the Stabilizer is in place, secure it to the frame using the previously removed hardware.

The hardware should be installed into the same holes of the stabilizer that they were previously removed from.

Start by hand tightening the screws first.

Then, fully tighten the screws using the provided, 6mm Allen Wrench.

Once all hardware is tightly secured, proceed to locating the back of the frame.

Locate the Rear Stabilizer, Part 6, and place it by the bottom-back of the frame.

The Rear Stabilizer has pre-installed hardware that will have to be removed.

Using the provided 6mm Allen Wrench, remove the top screws.

Next, with some assistance, tilt the frame, and insert the Rear Stabilizer in place.

Once the Stabilizer is in place, secure it to the frame using the previously removed hardware.

The hardware should be installed into the same holes of the rear stabilizer that they were previously removed from.

Start by hand tightening both screws first.

Then, fully tighten the screws using the provided 6mm Allen Wrench.

Step 1 is now complete.

Step 2, Attaching the Pedals.

Begin step 2 by placing the Right Pedal, Part 11, on the bottom right side of the main frame.

Be sure to attach the pedals on the proper side of the bike. Orientation is based from a seated position on the bike.

The left pedal, and the Crank Arm, have an "L" engraved on them, While the right pedal and crank arm have an "R" engraved on them.

Before installing the pedal, there might be a little bag on the end of the crank to help keep the crank grease in place. Pull the bag off to expose the grease on the threads.

Please note that the Left Pedal is reverse-threaded, while the right pedal is regular threaded.

When installing the pedals, it is very important that the pedal is installed straight into the Crank Arms by hand.

If the pedals aren't installed straight, the threads that secure the Pedals may strip.

If you feel resistance and the pedal does not turn smoothly into the Crank Arm, then you may remove the Pedal and start again to ensure that the Pedal is aligned correctly.

Try again and tighten the Pedal by hand until you are sure that the Pedal is going straight into the Crank Arm.

After several hand turns, fully tighten the Pedal using the 15mm Wrench.

Keep the Pedal aligned as you fully tighten it with the Wrench.

Once the Right Pedal is secured, repeat these steps for the opposite side and attach the Left Pedal.

The Left Pedal, Part 5, will have an "L" Engraved on it.

Please note that the Left Pedal is reverse-threaded, so in order to tighten the Pedal you must rotate it counter- clockwise.

Attach the Pedal.

If you feel resistance and the pedal does not turn smoothly into the Crank Arm, then you may remove the Pedal, and start again to ensure that the Pedal is aligned correctly.

Keep the Pedal centered and aligned while attaching it.

After several hand turns, fully tighten the Pedal using the 15mm Wrench.

If the threads strip due to improper installation, then the Pedals can disengage from the bike and/or break while under usage, which can result in serious injury to the user.
