Assembly - standing

  1. Mount adjustable feet (4) on base.
  2. Align base with the off-centered hole farthest from the wall so the adjustable side (and crank) will be closest to the wall.
  3. Place 27"x 4"x ½" plates (2) on the middle two beams of the base frame of the fixed side.
  4. Place 23"x 10"x ¾" plate (1) on top of the two plates on the fixed end. The end with 3 holes at each corner is near the outer edge of base.
  5. Place 30"x 4"x ½" plates (2) on the middle two beams of the base frame of the adjustable side.
  6. Put lubricant on the two plates.
  7. Place 23"x 10"x ¾" plate (1) on top of the two plates on the adjustable side.
  8. Use M14x60 bolts (8) from the bottom (nuts are on top) to secure the plates on the base frame.
  9. Assemble crank mechanism.
  10. Attach crank mechanisms to the adjustable end M10x40 (3) and M10x80 (2) screws.
  11. Place 5.625"x2.5x1" blocks (4) to support the actuators.
  12. Place actuators on top of blocks and attach to base using M10x90 (4) and M10x120 (4) screws
  13. Assemble torque transducer, cams, and couplings.
  14. Place torque transducer assembly on actuator shaft
  15. Attach brackets (8) using M10x40 screws. Make sure cam is centered between the brackets.
  16. Assemble the two U-shaped foot pedal holders using M6 screws (12).
  17. Attach U-shaped foot pedal holder using M5x15 screws (32).
  18. Mount foot pedals using M10x25 flat head screws (4).
  19. Mount handrails using M8x50 bolts and nuts (8).
  20. Attach U-shaped brackets using nuts and bolts (4).
  21. Attach cowlings to base plate using M10x20 buttonhead bolts and nuts.
  22. Attach base plates using M10x20 buttonhead screws (use nuts and bolts to attach base plates to U brackets).
  23. Place clamp bars along edge of base and secure with M8x25 flat head screws (6).
