Reed Switch The reed switch is a small, coiled piece located under the shields of the bike near the pedals. The reed switch can move out of place, which will interfere with the bike's displays. Exactly how to get to the reed switch can be found in your manual. You will have to remove one of the shields and the pedal in front of it first. Once you have exposed the switch, you can adjust the distance to fix the display problems. When the reed switch is the correct distance from the magnet, the console will display proper feedback.

Handgrip Pulse Sensors The handgrip pulse sensors are handy features if they're working, telling you what your heart rate is in beats per minute. This allows you to know if you are exercising in a safe but effective zone based on your age and fitness level. If the sensors aren't working optimally, you won't be able to rely on the readings. Some recumbent bikes by FreeSpirit have metal contacts that register your pulse rate, either below the console or on bars on the sides of the console. Problems can arise if you do not remove the plastic coverings from the sensors, grip them too hard, move your hands while holding the contacts or if the sensors are dirty. You should use a soft cloth to wipe the sensors clean, but avoid chemicals or alcohol. Console Problems You may experience problems with your display if you have old batteries.

The display may dim or even fail to turn on. Most console problems are fixed by replacing the batteries, according to FreeSpirit user manuals. Your manual will tell you what batteries you need, but you'll likely need four alkaline 'D' batteries.

You'll need to let the recumbent bike warm up if it has been in cold temperatures before replacing the batteries or the electronic components of the console can become damaged. Take off the battery cover and put the new batteries in as shown on the diagram on the battery cover. Copyright © 2018 Leaf Group Ltd.

. 1 Answer SOURCE: Mine went dead last Spring. I ordered a replacement part from Fitness Quest. I think the link is above. Actually, while I was waiting for the part, I reconnected all the wires on the whole bike and the panel worked. So I actually have an extra new working panel if Fitness Quest doesn't have the part for some reason and u want mine. Double check ALL the connections of the wires first.

4 Answers SOURCE: I own this particular Old Fashioned bike -lol - its a hardy one thou and I dont think you can find the original book but the book that came with it came from the company Roadmaster Corp. Which is now named Roadmaster Industries, Inc - 250 Spring Street NW - Atlanta, Georgia 30303 - phone number - (404) 586-9000. I hope this helps ya. My resource came from the website that tells all about the cpy. So good luck in finding your manual.

I am pretty sure that they can help after all they made this bike originally in 1992, Posted on Sep 10, 2009. Well if it helps neither murray or huffy ever made free spirit this is a bike company thats been around for a dogs age making discount rate bikes the murray company folded about 15 years ago and huffy has been bought out so that their bikes can be built on a budget with a name once able to draw customers and sears has never really sold any bikes worth holding on to in my opinion and i ride an older bike made by intense cycles from california good luck and if it has plastic spoked wheels you shouldnt have a hard time selling it hope this helps:) Nov 18, 2010.
