1.2 SETUP

Read the entire Operation Manual before setting up the Lifecycle exercise bike.

WHERE TO PLACE THE LIFECYCLE®EXERCISE BIKE

Following all safety instructions in Section 1.1, move the bike to the location in which it will be used. See Section 7, titled
Specifications, for the dimensions of the footprint. Allow a distance of 8 to 12 inches, or 21 to 30 centimeters, between the
bike and other objects or surfaces on either side. Allow a distance of 3 feet, or 1 meter, from the front or rear of the bike to
any other object or surface.

HOW TO STABILIZE THE LIFECYCLE EXERCISE BIKE

After placing the bike in position, check the unit’s stability by attempting to rock it from side to side. Any slight rocking
indicates that the unit must be leveled. Determine which foot is not resting completely on the floor. Loosen the jam nut
(A) with an open-end 9/16-inch wrench, and rotate the stabilizing foot (B) to lower it. Verify that the bike is stable, and
repeat the adjustment as necessary until the unit no longer rocks. Lock the adjustment by tightening the jam nut against
the stabilizer bar.

B

A

HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT

A properly adjusted seat is extremely important in any bike-oriented exercise activity and the Classic Series Recumbent
Lifecycle Exercise Bike is no exception. If the seat is too close, excessive strain will be placed on the knees and quadri­ceps muscles; if the seat is too far, the resulting reaching action will irritate the feet, ankles, hips and knees.

Sit on the seat and place the balls of the feet on the pedals. An optimum
position will allow movement through the bottom of the stroke without lock­ing the knees or shifting in the seat. The knees should have a slight bend
at the point of fullest leg extension.

If the seat needs to be adjusted, lift the spring-loaded adjusting handle locat­ed on the right, front side of the seat. Slide the seat forward or backward as
necessary to the proper position and release the pin to complete engage­ment. Gently slide the seat forward and backward a small distance to ensure
it is locked into place. Check the seat distance again and re-adjust it if neces­sary .

CAUTION: Do not attempt to adjust the seat while pedaling the bike. Doing so, or failing to insert the seat pin
completely may result in an uncomfortable workout or cause injury.

MISE EN GARDE : Ne pas essayer d'ajuster la selle pendant le pédalage. Tout ajustage en cours de fonction­nement ou toute insertion incomplète de la goupille de la selle pourrait nuire à l'exercice ou entraîner des
blessures.

H

OW TO ADJUST THE PEDAL STRAPS

The bike pedal straps keep the user’s shoes on the pedals during a workout. The straps should fit
comfortably, but they also should be tight enough to prevent shoes from slipping at any point in the
pedaling rotation. Before working out, a user should test and adjust the tightness of the straps.

The safety straps on the foot pedals of the Classic Series Recumbent Lifecycle Exercise Bike can
be adjusted to fit a variety of shoe sizes. The straps are held in place by two knobs that extend
from either side of each pedal. The “inner” knob extends sideways, that is, toward the bike. The
“outer” knob extends downward. The ends of each strap are perforated with slots that fit tightly
over the knobs. The “inner” end of each strap is perforated with two slots, and the “outer” segment
of the strap is perforated with a row of slots.

To tighten or loosen a strap, grasp the outer end, and pull it back, away from the knob, until the
strap slides off. Pull the strap out through the outer loop on the pedal. Rest the foot on the pedal,
and wrap the strap over the foot to determine the desired length. Thread the strap through the
outer loop on the pedal, tuck it under the pedal, select the appropriate slot, and pull that slot down
over the knob, until the top of the knob pops through the slot. A click indicates that the strap is

locked into place.

STARTING UP THE BIKE CONSOLE

When a user begins pedaling on the Lifecycle exercise bike, the unit’s Auto-Start feature powers up the console, causing
the console display to light up and the MESSAGE CENTER to flash a prompt: “SELECT WORKOUT OR PRESS QUICK
START.” If the user does not make a selection in 20 seconds, the console automatically starts a MANUAL workout. For
information on setting up a workout, see Section 4.2, titled Using the Workouts. If the user stops pedaling for more than 15
seconds, the console shuts down.

Alternately, the user may begin pedaling at a predetermined rate and press the START key to power up the console.

USING THE POWER ASSIST OPTION

The Lifecycle exercise bike’s optional Power Assist feature makes it possible for the console to be powered by an exter­nal electrical source, eliminating the need to pedal at a minimum speed to supply constant power to the console. With
this option, users who wish to ride the bike for rehabilitative exercise may pedal at a rate below the minimum without los­ing console power.

Enabling the Power Assist option requires an optional kit. To order the kit, contact Life Fitness Customer Service. See
section 6.5, titled How to Obtain Product Service, for more information.

The power connector is located in front of the rear stabilizer bar, in the shroud opening, on the underside of the bike.

FITNESS AND ENTERTAINMENT NETWORKING

Two interchangeable network ports allow the Lifecycle exercise bike to be connected to a fitness entertainment system
and/or a network, such as FitLinxx®interactive fitness network.

• Fitness network: The network connection enables the console to upload user workout statistics to a fitness net-
work database or to download remotely stored information, such a pre-set workout program. See Section 4.2,
titled Using the Workouts, for information on logging onto a network.

• Entertainment: The network connection enables the console to power a third-party receiver for use with a ser­vice such as the Cardio Theater

®

entertainment system or the BroadcastVision

TM

entertainment system.

These ports are located on the back of the bike console and are enclosed by a removable cover. Any use of the ports for
other than their intended purpose could void the product warranty.

2THE DISPLAY CONSOLE

2.1 DISPLAY CONSOLE OVERVIEW

The computerized display console on the Lifecycle exercise bike allows the user to tailor a workout to personal fitness
abilities and goals and to monitor progress. With this easy-to-use console, the user can track fitness improvement from
one workout to the next.

2.2 DISPLAY CONSOLE DESCRIPTIONS

This section lists and describes the functions for the keys and display windows on the Lifecycle exercise bike console.
See Section 4, titled The Workouts, for detailed information on using the console to set up workouts.

A START: Press this key to activate the console for programming a new workout. The activated console lights up and

displays SELECT WORKOUT OR PRESS QUICK START. If no key is pressed for 15 seconds, the console shuts
down again.

NOTE: The bike’s AutoStart feature also activates the console when the user steps on the pedals. See the topic titled
Starting Up the Bike Console, which appears in Section 1.

B ENTER: Press this key after entering each value, such as weight or workout time, when prompted by console display

messages.

C NUMERIC keypad: Use these keys to enter values, such as length of workout, weight, age, target heart rate, and

intensity level. While a workout is in progress, numeric keys can be used to set new intensity levels or change the
target heart rate in a FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, and EXTREME HEART
RATE workout. The ARROW keys have a similar function, except that they change workout parameters by single
increments.

D ARROW keys: Apair of UP and DOWN arrows is located on either side of the TIME/LEVEL WINDOW. Use either set

of arrows, when setting up a workout, to change workout parameters displayed on the console, such as length of
workout, weight, age, target heart rate, and intensity level. During a workout, pressing the arrows on the LEVEL side
of display changes intensity levels. Pressing the arrows on the TIME side lengthens or decreases the workout dura­tion.

E QUICK START: Press this key to begin a manual workout immediately, without having to select a workout program.

Once the workout is in progress, use the ARROW keys or the NUMERIC keypad to change the intensity level or
workout duration as desired.

F CLEAR: Press this key, when programming a workout, to clear incorrect data, such as weight or age, before pressing

the ENTER key. Pressing CLEAR during a workout stops it immediately, at which point, the MESSAGE CENTER dis­plays a summary of the workout, including total time elapsed, total distance traveled, and total calories burned.
