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.

Assembly Questions

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the assembly process, please contact a
Core Fitness Customer Excellence representative at 800-235-2233, or 276-773-2881 outside
the United States.

Unpacking And Assembling The U10 And R10 Commercial Bikes

U10 AND R10 MAINTENANCE

56

The safety and performance of this product can be maintained only if it is inspected
regularly for damage and wear. Pay particular attention to components most susceptible
to wear such as steps, hand grips, and lower side covers.

Remove any damaged machine from service and replace damaged components immediately.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding maintenance or its function, please contact
a Core Fitness Excellence representative at 800-235-2233, or 276-773-2881 outside the
United States.

Cleaning

Do not use glass cleaners or any other household cleaners on the console. Isopropyl alcohol
can be used to moisten a cloth before wiping the console. A lint-free soft cloth must be used as
paper towels can scratch the touchscreen. After cleaning, turn the soft cloth to a dry section
and wipe the console dry.

Inspection

Inspect the frame for rust, bubbling paint, or paint chips during daily cleaning. The salt in
perspiration can damage unpainted surfaces. Repair the damaged area with touch-up paint
purchased from Core Fitness.

Proper Disposal Of Mechanical And Electrical Components

57

Electronic Component/Battery Disposal

When replacing a battery, you will need to properly dispose of (recycle) the old battery. Most

federal and state regulations require lead-acid batteries to be recycled. Do not throw away old
batteries. Lead is a toxic, heavy metal that is hazardous to living organisms.

Many circuit boards and displays may contain mercury or other heavy elements. These
elements can be toxic and hazardous in some situations. Electronic components must also be
recycled.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding recycling, please contact a Core Fitness
Customer Excellence representative at 800-235-2233, or 276-773-2881 outside the United States.

Mechanical Component Replacement/Disposal

This equipment must be recycled or discarded according to applicable local and national
regulations. Product labels, in accordance with EU Directive 2002/96/EC concerning Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), determine the framework for the return and
recycling of used equipment throughout the European Union. The WEEE label indicates that
the product is not to be thrown away, but rather reclaimed upon end of life.

In accordance with the WEEE Directive, electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) is to be
collected separately and reused, recycled, or recovered at end of life. Users of EEE with the
WEEE label, per Annex IV, must not dispose of end of life EEE as unsorted municipal waste,
but use the collection framework available for the return, recycling, and recovery of WEEE.
Customer participation is important to minimize any potential effects of EEE on the
environment and human health due to the potential presence of hazardous substances in EEE.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding proper collection and treatment, please contact
a Core Fitness Customer Excellence representative at 800-235-2233, or 276-773-2881 outside
the United States.

Parts And Service

Regular and scheduled maintenance will prolong the life of your machine.

Service and repairs should only be performed by facility-authorized personnel who have received
proper training from Core Fitness. Service performed by unauthorized personnel could result in
personal injury or permanent damage to the machine.

Only use genuine replacement parts purchased from Core Fitness. Using replacement parts not
purchased from Core Fitness could result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, or
permanent damage to the machine.

External Power Supply

58

The external power supply provides power to the touchscreen console and will charge the
internal battery (for cordless use). The power inlet is located at the rear of the machine. Only
use the power supply that was provided with the machine.

Storage

When storing your machine for prolonged periods, cover the machine with a dust cover. Do not
store the machine in damp areas. Do not store the machine on its end, as there is a risk it
could fall and cause injury.

Before using the machine again after storage, check the power cord and all attachments to
ensure they are not damaged and are securely connected. Then, test the system for proper
operation.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the proper storage of your machine, please
contact a Core Fitness Customer Excellence representative at 800-235-2233, or 276-773-2881
outside the United States.
