If the console does not display correct feedback, the
reed switch should be adjusted. To adjust the reed
switch, first unplug the power adapter.
Next, use
a standard
screwdriver and
pry the Outer Disc
(20) off the Left
Outer Shield (28).
Next, locate the Reed Switch (56). Turn the pedals until
a Magnet (65) on the Left Inner Disc (70) is aligned
with the Reed Switch.

If the underside of a pedal arm touches the glide
cables when a person is standing on the pedals, the
glide cables on that pedal arm should be adjusted.
When you adjust the glide cables, you must tighten
the nuts the same number of turns on both glide
cables.
See EXPLODED DRAWING B on page 27. Identify
the Pedal Arm Covers C and D (16, 17). Remove the
M4 x 20mm Screw (136) and the four M4 x 16mm
Screws (98) from the Pedal Arm Covers; make sure to
note the location of each size of Screw.
Next, locate the indicated ends of the Glide Cables
(62). Hold one of the Glide Cables in place with a
wrench or a pair of pliers in the indicated location (A).
Then, use another wrench to tighten the nut (B) several
turns; make sure to count the number of turns that
you tighten the nut.

Next, loosen the M5 x 16mm Screw (125) and slide
the Reed Switch (56) slightly closer to or away from
the Magnet (65). Then, plug in the power adapter and
move the pedals forward and backward so that the
Magnet passes the Reed Switch repeatedly. Repeat
these actions until the console displays correct feedback. Then, tighten the Screw.
When the reed switch is correctly adjusted, reattach
the left outer shield.

Repeat these actions to adjust the other glide cable;
make sure to tighten both nuts the same number of
turns. Then, have a second person stand on the ped-
als and check to see if the underside of the pedal arm
is still touching the glide cables.
Continue adjusting the glide cables until the pedal arm
no longer touches the glide cables when a person is
standing on the pedals. Then, reattach the pedal arm
covers.
Repeat these actions to adjust the glide cables on
the other pedal arm, if necessary.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE
To measure your heart
rate, exercise for at least
four minutes. Then, stop
exercising and place
two fingers on your
wrist as shown. Take a
six-second heartbeat
count, and multiply the
result by 10 to find your heart rate. For example, if your
six-second heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate is 140
beats per minute.
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.
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.
