HOW TO USE THE EXERCISE CYCLE  
HOW TO ADJUST THE HEIGHT OF THE SEAT  
For effective exercise, the seat should be at the proper  
height. As you pedal, there should be a slight bend in  
your knees when the pedals are in the lowest position.  
To adjust the seat, first turn the seat knob counter-  
clockwise several

seconds. The console will then be ready for use.  
HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDAL STRAPS  
2. As you exercise, watch your progress with the train-  
ing zone display and the two LCD displays.  
To adjust the pedal  
straps, first pull the  
outer ends of the  
Strap  
The training zone display—As you exercise, the  
training zone display will show the approximate  
intensity level of your exercise. For example, if the  
fourth indicator in the display is lit (refer to the

ty level is ideal for fat burning.

the pedals. Adjust the  
positions of the straps  
and press the straps  
back onto the tabs.

HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDALING RESISTANCE  
The left LCD display—As you exercise, the left dis-  
play will show the elapsed time and the distance  
you have pedaled. The display will change from  
one number to the other every seven seconds.  
Arrows in the display will indicate which number is  
currently shown.  
To adjust the resis-  
tance of the pedals  
as you exercise, turn  
the resistance knob  
on the console. Turn  
the knob clockwise to  
increase the resis-  
The right LCD display—As you exercise, the right  
display will show the approximate numbers of calo-  
ries and fat calories you have burned (see BURN-

BATTERY INSTALLATION  
Before the console can be operated, two “AA” batteries  
must be installed (see assembly step 6 on page 6).  
3. To reset the LCD displays, press the on/reset button.  
4. To turn off the power, simply wait for about four  
minutes. The console has an “auto-off” feature.  
If the pedals are not moved and the console  
button is not pressed for four minutes, the  
power will turn off automatically in order to  
conserve the batteries.  
HOW TO OPERATE THE CONSOLE  
Note: If there is a thin sheet of clear plastic on the  
face of the console, remove it.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES  
The following guidelines will help you to plan your  
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition  
and adequate rest are essential for successful results.  
Aerobic Exercise  
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-  
tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exer-  
cise is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen  
for prolonged periods of time. This increases the  
demand on the heart to pump blood to the muscles,  
and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic  
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until  
your heart rate is near the highest number in your  
training zone.  
WARNING:  
Before beginning this  
or any exercise program, consult your physi-  
cian. This is especially important for persons  
over the age of 35 or persons with pre-exist-  
ing health problems.  
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE  
EXERCISE INTENSITY  
To measure your  
heart rate, stop exer-  
cising and place two  
fingers on your wrist  
as shown. Take a  
six-second heartbeat  
count, and multiply  
the result by 10 to  
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your  
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the  
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.  
The proper intensity level can be found by using your  
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom-  
mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat  
burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.  
find your heart rate.  
For example, if your six-second heartbeat count is 14,  
your heart rate is 140 beats per minute. (A six-second  
count is used because your heart rate will drop rapidly  
when you stop exercising.) Adjust the intensity of your  
exercise until your heart rate is at the desired level.  
WORKOUT GUIDELINES  
Each workout should include the following three parts:  
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching  
and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your  
body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in prepa-  
ration for exercise.  
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age  
at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the  
nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers above  
your age; the three numbers are your “training zone.”  
The lowest number is the recommended heart rate for  
fat burning; the middle number is the recommended  
heart rate for maximum fat burning; and the highest  
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.  
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 min-  
utes of exercising with your heart rate in your training  
zone. (During the first few weeks of your exercise pro-  
gram, do not keep your heart rate in your training  
zone for longer than 20 minutes.)  
Fat Burning  
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This  
will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will  
help to prevent post-exercise problems.  
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative-  
ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.  
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body  
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener-  
gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does  
your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy.  
If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your  
exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest num-  
ber or the middle number in your training zone as you  
exercise.  
EXERCISE FREQUENCY  
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three work-  
outs each week, with at least one day of rest between  
workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you  
may complete up to five workouts each week, if  
desired. The key to success is make exercise a regu-  
lar and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLE-SHOOTING  
Inspect and tighten all parts of the exercise cycle  
regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately. The  
exercise cycle can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth.  
Avoid spilling liquid on the console. Keep the console  
out of direct sunlight or the display may be damaged.  
Locate the Reed Switch (66). Turn the Left Crank Arm  
(26) until the Magnet (44) is aligned with the Reed  
Switch. Loosen, but do not remove, the M4 x 16mm  
Screw (64). Slide the Reed Switch slightly closer to or  
away from the Magnet. Retighten the Screw. Turn the  
Crank for a moment. Repeat until the console displays  
correct feedback. When the Reed Switch is correctly  
adjusted, reattach the Left Side Shield and the Pedal.  
TIGHTENING THE PEDALS  
For the best performance, the pedals must be kept  
properly tightened. Regularly tighten both pedals.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT  
If the console does not function properly, the batteries  
should be replaced. See assembly step 6 on page 6 for  
instructions.

HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH  
If the console does not display correct feedback, the  
reed switch should be adjusted. In order to adjust the  
reed switch, the Left Side Shield (9) must be removed.  
Using an adjustable wrench, turn the Left Pedal (19)  
clockwise and remove it from the Left Crank Arm (26).  
64  
66  
HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT  
The exercise cycle features a precision belt that must  
be kept properly adjusted. If the belt causes exces-  
sive noise or slips as you pedal, the belt should be  
checked. To do this, the left side shield must first be  
removed. Refer to the instructions at the left and  
remove the left side shield. Next, use an adjustable  
wrench to turn the right pedal counterclockwise and  
remove it. Remove the right side shield.

Next, remove the two M4 x 16mm Screws (64), the  
M4 x 6mm Screw (77), and the seven M4 x 38mm  
Screws (72) from the Left Side Shield (9). Grip both  
Side Shields at the top and gently pull them apart.  
Make sure that the Left Crank Arm (26) is in the posi-  
tion shown in the drawing above. Carefully slide the  
Left Side Shield (9) forward off the Left Crank Arm  
and remove it.
