MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance is important for optimal
performance and to reduce wear. Inspect and properly
tighten all parts each time the exercise bike is used.
Replace any worn parts immediately.

To clean the exercise bike, use a damp cloth and a
small amount of mild soap. IMPORTANT: To avoid

damage to the console, keep liquids away from
the console and keep the console out of direct
sunlight.

CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING

If lines appear in the console display, see HOW TO
CHANGE CONSOLE SETTINGS on page 19 and
adjust the contrast level of the display.

If the console does not display your heart rate when
you use the handgrip heart rate monitor, see step 5 on
page 16.

If a replacement power adapter is needed, call the
telephone number on the cover of this manual.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the console, use
only a manufacturer-supplied regulated power
adapter.

HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT

If the pedals slip while you are pedaling, even while the
resistance is adjusted to the highest setting, the drive
belt may need to be adjusted. Before you adjust the

drive belt, unplug the power adapter.

Using a small standard screwdriver, carefully release
the tabs around the edges of the Front Shield Cover
(9), and slide the Front Shield Cover upward.

43

Next, tighten the indicated M8 Locknut (43) slightly
to tighten the Drive Belt (not shown). Then, press the
Front Shield Cover (9) back into place and plug in the
power adapter.

Repeat this process, if necessary, until the pedals no
longer slip.

21

HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH

If the console does not display correct feedback, the
reed switch should be adjusted. Before you adjust
the reed switch, unplug the power adapter.

Using a small standard screwdriver, carefully pry the
left Cover Insert (35) off the left Crank Arm Cover (33).
Next, remove the M5 x 12mm Screw (85) and the
M5 x 21mm Screw (86). Then, rotate the left Crank
Arm Cover out of the way.

Locate the Reed Switch (57). Rotate the Left Crank
Arm (20) until a Magnet (55) is aligned with the Reed
Switch. Next, loosen the M5 x 16mm Flat Head Screw
(60), slide the Reed Switch slightly toward or away
from the Magnet, and then retighten the Flat Head
Screw.

Plug in the power adapter and rotate the Left Crank
Arm (20) for a moment. Repeat these actions until the
console displays correct feedback.

When the reed switch is correctly adjusted, reattach
the parts that you removed.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

WARNING: Before beginning this

or any exercise program, consult your physi­cian. This is especially important for persons
over age 35 or persons with pre-existing
health problems.

The heart rate monitor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The heart rate monitor is
intended only as an exercise aid in determin­ing heart rate trends in general.

These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise
program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a
reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,
proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for
successful results.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper inten­sity is the key to achieving results. You can use your
heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level.
The chart below shows recommended heart rates for
fat burning and aerobic exercise.

Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exer­cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of
time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your
body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. 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 number in your training
zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your
heart rate near the middle number in your training
zone.

Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic
exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts
of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your
heart rate is near the highest number in your training
zone.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-

ing and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body
temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation
for exercise.

Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 min­utes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During
the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not
keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer
than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you
exercise ; never hold your breath.

To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the
bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the near­est ten years). The three numbers listed above your
age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is
the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the
heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.

Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch­ing. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles
and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY

To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts 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. Remember, the key to success is to make
exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday
life.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES

The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right. Move slowly as you stretch; never bounce.

1. Toe Touch Stretch

Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from
your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach down
toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax.
Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees and back.

2. Hamstring Stretch

Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot toward
you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg. Reach
toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax.
Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back and
groin.

3. Calf/Achilles Stretch

With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your hands
against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back foot flat on
the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move your hips toward
the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg.
To cause further stretching of the achilles tendons, bend your back leg
as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons and ankles.

4. Quadriceps Stretch

With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp one
foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your buttocks as
possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg.
Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
