3) Flatten the box on the floor next to the pallet.
4) Loosen the two screws mounting the first cycle to
the pallet. See figure 2

UNPACKING
Figure 2
A fixing tool can be bought at BODY BIKE®
International A/S to ease the mounting of the bottom
frame. Go to page 22.
1. Arrange the bottom frames parallel on the floor
next to the cycle with the correct mounting distance
between them, see figure 3. On the front bottom
frame, the transport wheels should point forward.
2. Take hold of the front post and seat post and lift
the cycle onto the bottom frames, see figure 3. Ensure
that the holes in the frame match the holes in the
bottom frames.
3: Put on the spring lock washer and the cap nut and
tighten by using a 13 mm wrench, see figure 4.
4: Unscrew the rubber feet a little. Place the cycle in
the correct position. Turn them up and down until the
cycle stands properly and it is in level.

1) Place the saddle in the track on the seat post.
2) Secure the saddle with the remaining adjustment handle,
see figure 6.
To fasten the saddle to the adaptor and adjust the tilt of the
saddle, use a 14 mm wrench on the bolt marked with an A
on figure 6.

ASSEMBLY
PEDALS
1) Place the right pedal arm with the socket
pointing upwards, see figure 8.
2) Put maximum resistance on the brake, so
the pedalarm is unable to rotate, see figure 7.
Please note
The pedals are marked with R for Right and
L for Left side.
The pedals should always be screwed on in
the direction of the handlebar, see figure 9
and 10.
Make sure that the hole in the pedal arm is
greased when mounting the pedal.
Start mounting the pedal by hand as tools
will tighten the pedal at a wrong angle.
3) After tightening by hand, use a 15mm
pedal wrench to tighten the pedal completely
(45N/4,5kg).

Every 3 months the handles need
cleaning and grease to protect the
parts from sweat, dust, dirt and
water.
1) Remove the adjustment handle
and disassemble the handle
completely into a screw, a spring,
a handlegrip, a main screw and a
brass washer, see figure 9. Do this
with both the horizontal and vertical
adjusment handle. You don’t need
to remove the 32mm nut.
2) Clean all the parts thoroughly
one by one using a steel brush. If
the residue is extreme, a sharp
object can be used, for example a
screwdriver.
3) Lubricate the internal parts with
grease before reassembling the
handle. Remember to lubricate
inside the handle as well.
4) Reassemble the handle by
inserting the main screw in the
handle grip.
5) The spring is inserted into the
top of the handle and fixed in
place with the remaining screw.
6) Tighten with a 5mm Allen
wrench.
7) Add grease to the main screw
before mounting it on the cycle.

MAINTENANCE
Every other week the posts need
cleaning to protect them from sweat
etc.
Pull out the seat post and the front post
and wipe them clean with an oily cloth,
see figure 12.
If there is a slight sideways play in the
front post you can adjust it on both sides
of the cycle with the screws marked with
an S on figure 12. This adjustment has to
be very subtle in order for the post still
to be able to move up and down.
CLEANING THE POSTS
PLEASE NOTE
The posts should be cleaned
every other week to keep them in
good condition

After each workout, wipe the cycle down with
tissue paper.
If the cycle is covered in sweat or dirt, use water
in a spray bottle and if necessary a tissue with
some washing-up liquid.
Remember handlebar and saddle.
To make the cycle look its best, use a cloth with a
little vaseline oil on all parts except the handlebar
and saddle.
Vacuum clean the bike inside when necessary to
prevent dust from gathering on the flywheel. If
dirt has already gathered on the flywheel edge,
use a piece of rough felt to sand it down.
Always make sure that the small hole by the front
bottom frame is not blocked and allows water
and sweat to exit the frame, see figure 13.
CLEANING
PLEASE NOTE
NEVER use alcohol or chemicals
!
In the backside
of the front
frame, you will
find the small
drainage hole.

MAINTENANCE
REMOVAL OF SIDE COVERS
The side covers can be removed e.g. if the
belt needs to be changed.
1) Dismount the right pedal arm with an 8mm
Allen wrench. See figure 14.
2) Loosen the two bolts on the bottle holder
with a 4 mm Allen wrench. See figure 15.
2) Loosen all the screws holding the side
cover with a PZ2 drill bit. See figure 15.
3) Keep all the bolts together in order not to
lose them.
5) Slide the side cover free from the top
cover. Do always this in the direction of the
steer. See figure 16.

MAINTENANCE
The Kevlar® pad on the BODY BIKE Synthetic Brake
has an expected durability of a minimum of 1500
hours, so eventually the brake pad will be worn. To
ensure that the brake pad is correctly mounted,
it has been pre-fitted to the block, and it is only
possible to purchase the complete brake block. Go
to page 22.
Inspect the Kevlar® brake pad after the first month
and hereafter every 3rd month. The Kevlar® brake
pad should be replaced before it is worn through
and reveal the black rubber.
To get to the brake block, it is necessary to remove
the right side cover from the cycle. See figure 14-16
1) Loosen all the screws in the side cover and
remove them as well as the bottle holder.
2) Remove the side cover by sliding the side cover in
the direction of the steer. See figure 16
3) Release tension completely on the brake.
Counterclockwise will loosen the resistance. See
figure 7.
4) Remove the two screws holding the brake block
to the frame by using an 8 mm wrench, see figure
19.

5) Take the new brake block and fasten
it to the frame by tightening the screw
closest to the brake block. Then place
the block in the correct position under
the brake, see figure 20.
6) Fasten the remaining screw furthest
away from the block, and then make
sure that both screws are tightened
properly, see figure 21.
7) Grease should be applied to the
cavity on top of the brake block or to
the top nut on the brake to ensure a
smooth interaction between the two.
8) Finally, remount the side cover by
screwing in the corner screws first.
Hereafter the remaining screws.
PLEASE NOTE
Clean the flywheels outer
diameter to an even smoother
ride.

MAINTENANCE
If the belt does not catch hold of the flywheel, it is time
for it to be tightened.
1) Remove the service hatch on both sides of the cycle
with a screwdriver, see figure 17.
2) Loosen the bolts (1) on both sides of the cycle with a
19 mm wrench, see figure 22
3) Loosen the nuts (2) on the counter bolt on both sides
of the cycle with a 10 mm wrench, see figure 22.
4) Use a wrench to tighten the counter bolts (3). On the
right side, the tool should be pulled downwards and on
the left side upwards to tighten with a 10 mm wrench.
5: The belt should be tightened to approximately 125
kg/229 Hz. To measure this, a special device can be
bought at your local BODY BIKE® distributor. Go to
page 22
6: Tighten the counter bolt (2) on both sides of the
cycle again.
7: And tighten the bolt(1) again on both sides of the
cycle.
8: Close the cycle by fastening the two hatches again.
POLY-V BELT
PLEASE NOTE
The belt should be evenly tightened on both
sides.
The flywheel should be parallel with the long
main side member.
