Installation Notice
The U10 and R10 Commercial Bikes must be properly installed before being used. Core Fitness
recommends that you contact your dealer or sales representative when your machine arrives.
The representative will help unpack, install, and demonstrate proper use of the machine to
ensure that the machine is free from shipping damage, and that installation and operation are
in accordance with Core Fitness standards.
The owner’s instruction manual must be read in full by each owner and trainer before the machine
is first used. Each user must be instructed in the proper use of the machine and its accessories.
Guidelines For Safe Operation
1. Obtain a complete physical examination from your medical doctor and enlist a health/
fitness professional’s aid in developing an exercise program suitable for you current health
status.
2. Secure long hair and loose clothing before using the machine.
3. When working out for the first time, use the Manual exercise program at lower levels until
you feel comfortable and capable of higher workloads.
4. The intensity and duration of your exercise program should always be subject to how you
feel. Never permit peer pressure to override your personal judgement while exercising.
5. Overweight or severely deconditioned individuals should be particularly cautious when
using the machine for the first time. Even though such individuals may not have histories of
serious physical problems, they may perceive the exercise to be far less intensive than it
really is, resulting in the possibility of overexertion or injury.
6. Although all products manufactured by Core Fitness have been thoroughly inspected prior
to shipment, proper installation and regular maintenance are required to ensure safety.
Inoperable components should be replaced immediately or the machine be put out of use
until it is repaired. Maintenance is the sole responsibility of the owner.
WARNING - If you have not been exercising regularly, consult a physician before
starting an exercise program. If you feel any unusual pain, dizziness, or shortness of
breath, STOP, and consult a physician.
Guidelines For Getting On And Off The U10 And R10 Commercial Bikes
10
To avoid injury, carefully follow these instructions.
1. Adjust the pedal straps to ensure your feet will be properly secured to the pedals during
your workout. Position your foot so that the ball of your foot is over the pedal spindle. The
pedal straps should be tight enough to secure your foot, but not so tight as to cut off circulation.
2. Hold on to the upper handlebars and step across the center frame tube.
3. Sit on the seat, place your feet into the pedal straps, and begin to pedal slowly. Stop pedaling
while one leg is extended and your foot is as close to the floor as possible. Adjust the seat so
that your knee is slightly bent while your leg is extended.
4. Tap Press To Start on the console display.
5. Tap Manual to select the Manual exercise program so you can control the pace of your first
workout and become familiar with the exercise motion.
6. The console will prompt you to enter your body weight. Select your weight in pounds (or
kilograms if the console is set to metric units).
7. The console will prompt you to enter a resistance level. Select a resistance level from 1
(very easy) to 20 (extremely difficult). First time users should select a low resistance level (for
example, select level 2 or 3).
8. The console will prompt you to enter the total workout time. Select a time from 2 to 99
minutes.
9. Tap Start to begin the workout. If you do not begin exercising within 1 minute, the console
will end the workout and advance to the report page.
10. As you become comfortable with the exercise motion, tap Level + or Level – to adjust the
resistance level.
11. Relax during your workout. Supporting your weight with the handlebars while exercising
decreases the intensity.
12. Make sure the pedals come to a complete stop before dismounting the machine. Hold on
to the upper handlebars, carefully place one foot on the floor, and then place your other foot
on the floor.
Heart Rate Monitoring
11
Heart rate monitoring helps users monitor their levels of exertion by displaying their heart rate
during exercise. There are two methods of monitoring heart rate on the U10 and R10
Commercial Bikes:
• Contact Heart Rate - heart rate can be checked at any time during a workout by using the
stainless steel sensors built into the ergobar handgrips. The sensors detect the heart beat
signal and display it on the touchscreen console.
• Telemetry Heart Rate - a transmitter belt worn across the chest transmits the heart beat to a
receiver in the console. The heart beat signal is displayed on the console.
Contact Heart Rate (CHR)
CHR signals are acquired only during contact between your hands and the stainless steel
sensors in the handgrips. Place your hands around the handgrips so that your hands touch both
the top and bottom sensors. After initial contact, the receiver requires a valid heart beat signal
within ten to fifteen seconds. During validation, the receiver will not recognize a telemetry signal.
The console will display a “beating” heart icon and the heart rate value in beats per minute.
If during the exercise the heart rate value becomes erratic, it may be helpful to remove your
hands from the sensors and begin again. The CHR system’s ability to detect a heart beat signal
is influenced by: movement of the upper body which may produce an electrical signal (muscle
artifact) that will interfere with the heart beat signal detected by the sensors; movement of the
hands while they are in contact with the sensors producing interference; calluses and hand lotion
acting as an insulating layer to reduce the signal strength. Some individuals may not generate
a heart beat signal strong enough to be detected by the sensors; these individuals should opt
for Telemetry Heart Rate monitoring.
Telemetry Heart Rate
The Telemetry function is activated as soon as you step within range of the receiver while
wearing the transmitter belt across your chest. Two electrodes on the underside of the belt
sense the heart beat signal and transmit it to the receiver. After initial contact, the receiver
requires four valid heart beat signals lasting four seconds in order to lock on telemetry for
the duration of the workout. The console will display a “beating” heart icon and the heart rate
value in beats per minute.
Wet the two electrodes before putting on the transmitter belt. Secure the belt as high under the
pectoral muscles as is comfortable. The belt should fit snugly while allowing for normal breathing.
If your heart rate is not being displayed: move closer to the console; tighten the belt around your
chest; adjust the belt higher or lower on your chest; remoisten the electrodes; or test the belt
on a machine that has previously displayed the heart rate.

When the carrier delivers your order, verify that the number and type of items matches what is
listed on the freight bill or express receipt.
Inspect the containers for damage. Itemize discrepancies and damage on the waybill and have
the carrier sign it. Failure to adequately describe external evidence of loss may result in the
carrier refusing to honor the claim. Do not discard the packing materials until you have verified
physical condition and proper operation.
Moving The U10 And R10 Commercial Bikes
The U10 and R10 Commercial Bikes are heavy and awkward, and require two people to safely
move them from one location to another. With the help of another person, lift up the rear of the
machine until the front transport wheels are in contact with the floor. The machine can now be
safely rolled on the transport wheels. Note: the transport wheels are intended for indoor use only
and should not be rolled on concrete or asphalt surfaces.
