1.2 SETUP

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

WHERE TO PLACE THE LIFECYCLE®RECUMBENT 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 R

ECUMBENT 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.

HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT

It is important to adjust the seat to an optimal height for pedaling on the Lifecycle recumbent
bike. A properly adjusted seat is extremely important in any bike-oriented exercise activity and
the Lifecycle recumbent 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.

B

A

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.

HOW 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.

On the 93R: The safety straps on the foot pedals of the
Lifecycle recumbent 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 proper 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.

On the 90R: The pedals on the Lifecycle recumbent bike have footstraps with slits on both the inside
and the outside of each strap. The straps are held in place by two knobs that extend sideways
from either side of each pedal. To tighten or loosen a strap, grasp the outer end, and pull it back,
away from the knob, until the strap slides off. Rest the foot on the pedal, and wrap the strap over
the foot to determine the proper length. Select the appropriate slot on the strap, 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

93R model: When a user begins pedaling on the Lifecycle exercise bike, the unit’s Auto-Start fea-

ture powers up the console, causing the console display to light up and the MESSAGE CENTER to
flash a prompt: “SELECT WORKOUT USING ARROW KEYS OR PRESS QUICK START.” If the
user does not make a selection in 20 seconds, the console automatically starts a MANUAL work-
out. 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.

90R model: When a user begins pedaling at a predefined rate on the Lifecycle exercise bike
and presses the START key, the console display lights up, and the MESSAGE CENTER flashes
a prompt: “SELECT WORKOUT USING ARROW KEYS 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, the console shuts down.

FITNESS AND ENTERTAINMENT NETWORKING

This feature is an option on the on the 93R model. Two interchangeable network ports allow the
Lifecycle recumbent bike to be connected to a fitness entertainment system and/or a fitness net­work, such as the FitLinxx®interactive fitness network.

• Fitness network: The network connection enables the bike console to upload user

workout statistics to a fitness network 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. To order the kit, call Life Fitness Customer Support
Services. See Section 6.4, titled How to Obtain Product Service.

• Entertainment: The network connection enables the bike console to power a third-party

receiver for use with a service such as the Cardio Theater

®

entertainment system or

BroadcastVision

TM

entertainment system. It is necessary to purchase and install a retrofit
kit to enable this feature. To order the kit, call Life Fitness Customer Support Services. See
Section 6.4, titled How to Obtain Product Service.

Any use of these ports for other than their intended purpose could void the product warranty.

2.2 DISPLAY CONSOLE DESCRIPTIONS

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

A START: Press this key (while pedaling on the 90R) to activate the console for programming a new work-

out. The activated console lights up and displays “SELECT WORKOUT USING ARROW KEYS OR
PRESS QUICK START”.

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 ARROW keys: Use these keys, when setting up a workout, to select a workout and to change workout

parameters displayed on the console, such as length of workout, weight, age, target heart rate, and inten­sity level. During a workout, press, these keys to change intensity levels.

D 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 to change the intensity level or workout
duration as desired.

E 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. Pressing CLEAR a second time causes the MESSAGE CENTER to prompt the user for
a new workout setup.

F WORKOUTS PLUS (93R only): Press this key during the workout setup to select WATTS, METS,

AEROBICS TRAINER, or one of the six pre-configured hill workouts, such as KILIMANJARO, FIT TEST,
AND MILITARY FITNESS TEST.

G PAUSE: Press this key to pause the current workout. Continue the workout by pressing the

PAUSE key again. For more information, see the topic titled Pausing a Workout in Section 4.2,
titled Using the Workouts.

H

DISPLAY LOCK : During a workout, one section of the MESSAGE CENTER alternately displays the num­ber of CALORIES burned and the amount of TIME elapsed. Pressing the DISPLAY LOCK key when the
MESSAGE CENTER displays one of the alternate statistics, forces the MESSAGE CENTER to display
that statistic continuously throughout the workout. Pressing DISPLAY LOCK again allows the MESSAGE
CENTER to resume toggling between both statistics in each pair.

I CHANGE WORKOUT (93R only): Press this key to switch to another workout program while a

workout is in progress.

J

COOL DOWN: Workout programs end automatically in a Cool Down mode, which lowers the intensity level.
In this phase of a workout the body begins to remove lactic acid and other accumulated by-products of exer­cise, which build up in muscles during a workout and contribute to muscle soreness. Press the COOL DOWN
key at any desired point during a workout to go immediately into Cool Down mode. The console automatically
adjusts each workout’s Cool Down level according to the individual user’s performance.

K WORKOUT PROFILE WINDOW: This window displays shapes, made of columns of lights, that represent

the levels of intensity in a workout-in-progress. The height of the column
furthest to the left is proportional to the current level of the intensity.

During a FAT BURN, CARDIO HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, or EXTREME HEART
RATE workout, which requires the use of a Polar heart rate chest strap, the WORKOUT PROFILE win­dow displays a heart shape to request the user’s heart rate signal. If the console does not detect a signal,
the MESSAGE CENTER displays the prompt, “NEED HEART RATE - USE TELEMETRY STRAP". If the
console does not receive the signal within three minutes, the workout automatically is converted to a
MANUAL program.
