How do I replace the fender on the Bowflex C7 bike?

To replace the fender on the Bowflex C7 bike, follow these steps: 1. Start by unplugging the AC Adapter from the wall outlet and the machine to ensure safety. 2. Locate the hardware that attaches the fender to the main frame of the bike. It will be indicated by ovals on the side of the machine. Loosen and remove this hardware, and set it aside for re-assembly later. Be careful to hold the fender securely to prevent it from falling. 3. Take note of how the resistance cable routes through the fender. This will be important for reassembly. 4. Remove the old fender from the front of the machine, being careful not to pinch or cut the cable. 5. If you have a new fender, install it by routing the resistance cable between the frame and the top of the fender. 6. Finally, inspect the machine to ensure that all hardware is tight and components are properly assembled. Do not use the machine until it has been fully assembled and inspected according to the owner's manual. Please note that these instructions are specific to the Bowflex C7 bike and may not apply to other models.

How do I adjust the belt tension on the Bowflex C7 bike?

To adjust the belt tension on the Bowflex C7 bike, follow these steps: 1. Start by unplugging the AC Adapter from the wall outlet and the machine to ensure safety. 2. Remove the drive belt cover by using a #2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the indicated hardware. Set the drive belt cover aside for reassembly. 3. Use a 19mm open-end wrench to hold the flywheel axle nut on one side steady. Then, use a 19mm socket and wrench to loosen the flywheel axle nut on the opposite side. Be cautious of pinch hazards and keep your fingers clear. 4. Check the tension of the drive belt by either pushing it downward at the midpoint between the pulleys and measuring the distance (it should have only 0.25" or 0.64 cm of give) or by holding the edges of the drive belt at the midpoint and twisting it (it should turn only 90 degrees or 1/4 turn to vertical). 5. If the drive belt is too loose, use a 10mm wrench to turn each flywheel retainer nut 1/4 turn to the right. If the drive belt is too tight, use a 10mm wrench to turn each flywheel retainer nut 1/4 turn to the left. 6. Once the belt tension is adjusted, tighten the flywheel axle nuts. 7. Reinstall the drive belt cover and all remaining parts that were removed in reverse order. 8. Finally, inspect the machine to ensure that all hardware is tight and components are properly assembled. Do not use the machine until it has been fully assembled and inspected according to the owner's manual. Please note that these instructions are specific to the Bowflex C7 bike and may not apply to other models.
