To adjust the seat height, locate the seat post adjustment knob beneath the seat. Turn the knob counterclockwise to loosen, adjust the seat to the desired height, and then tighten the knob by turning it clockwise to secure it.
If the resistance feels incorrect, check the tension knob to ensure it is functioning properly. You may need to recalibrate the resistance system by adjusting the tension strap. Refer to the user manual for detailed instructions on adjusting the tension strap.
Regular maintenance of the chain drive system includes lubrication and tension checks. Clean the chain with a dry cloth and apply a suitable chain lubricant every month. Check the tension and adjust if necessary by referring to the maintenance section of the user manual.
Squeaking noises can be caused by loose parts or lack of lubrication. Check all bolts and nuts to ensure they are tightened properly. Lubricate the moving parts such as the pedal threads and the flywheel bearings.
To replace the pedals, use a pedal wrench to turn the right pedal counterclockwise and the left pedal clockwise to loosen them. Install the new pedals by screwing them in the opposite direction (right pedal clockwise, left pedal counterclockwise) and tighten securely.
Calibration is not typically necessary for the Horizon Fitness S3 Indoor Cycle unless you notice performance issues. However, checking the tension and alignment of the bike components every 6 months is recommended to ensure optimal performance.
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the frame and components after each use to remove sweat and dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage the bike's finish. Regularly check for any rust or corrosion, especially in humid environments.
First, check the batteries in the digital display and replace them if necessary. Ensure the connections between the display and the bike are secure. If the display still does not work, consult the troubleshooting guide in the user manual for further steps.
If the flywheel is not spinning smoothly, inspect for any visible obstructions or debris. Check the alignment of the flywheel and ensure all bolts are tightened properly. Lubricate the flywheel bearings if needed.
To adjust the handlebars, locate the adjustment lever or knob below the handlebars. Loosen, adjust the handlebars to the desired height and angle, then tighten the lever or knob to secure them in place. Make sure they are firmly attached before riding.
