CONSOLE DIAGRAM
Note: If there is a sheet of clear plastic on the face of the console, remove it before using the console.
TURES OF THE CONSOLE
FEA
The advanced console offers a selection of features
designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and
effective. When the manual mode of the console is
selected, the resistance of the exercise cycle can be
changed with the touch of a button. As you exercise,
the console will provide continuous exercise feedback.
You can even measure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor. Note: For information about an
optional chest pulse sensor, see page 19.
The console also offers six resistance and pace programs. Each program automatically changes the resistance of the exercise cycle and prompts you to
increase or decrease your pace as it guides you
through an effective workout.
In addition, the console features two heart rate programs that automatically change the resistance of the
exercise cycle and prompt you to vary your pace to
keep your heart rate near a target heart rate as you
exercise.

The console also features iFIT
ogy. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a personal trainer in your home. Using the included audio
cable, you can connect the exercise cycle to your
home stereo, portable stereo, computer, or VCR and
play special iFIT.com CD and video programs (iFIT.com
CDs and videocassettes are available separately).
iFIT.com CD and video programs automatically control
the resistance of the exercise cycle and prompt you to
vary your pace as a personal trainer coaches you
through every step of your workout. High-energy music
provides added motivation.

programs.
When the power is
turned on, the
manual mode will
be selected. To
select a resistance
and pace program,
press the Program
Select button repeatedly until a “P 1,” “P 2,” “P 3,”
“P 4,” “P 5,” or “P 6” appears in the right display.
When a resistance and pace program is selected,
the matrix will show the first seven pace settings
for the program. The left display will show how

pedaling to start the program.
Each program is divided into several time segments of different lengths. One pace setting and
one resistance setting are programmed for each
segment. (The same pace setting and/or resistance setting may be programmed for two or more
consecutive segments.)
The pace setting
for the first segment will be
shown in the flash
ing Current
Segment column
of the matrix. (The
resistance settings
are not shown in the matrix.) The pace settings
for the next several segments will be shown in the
columns to the right.
As you exercise, the Training Zone bar will help
you to keep your pedaling pace near the pace
setting for the current segment. The lit indicators
-
Current Segment
in the bar will show
your actual pace. If
an indicator to the
right of the lit indicators is flashing
(see drawing a),
increase your pace.
If an indicator to
the left of any lit
indicator is flashing
(see drawing b),
decrease your
pace. When no
indicator is flashing, your pace matches the pace
setting for the current segment. Important: The
pace settings are intended only to provide
motivation. Your actual pace may be slower
than the current pace setting. Make sure to
exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.
When only three seconds remain in the first segment of the program, both the Current Segment
column and the column to the right will flash, a
series of tones will sound, and all pace settings
will move one column to the left. The pace setting
for the second segment will then be shown in the
flashing Current Segment column and the resistance of the exercise cycle will automatically
change to the resistance setting for the second
segment.
Note: If all of the indicators in the Current Segment
column are lit after the pace settings have moved
to the left, the pace settings will move downward
so only the highest indicators appear in the matrix.
The program will continue until the pace setting
for the last segment is shown in the Current
Segment column and no time remains in the program.
Note: During the program, you can override the
resistance setting for the current segment, if
desired, with the Resistance buttons. However
when the next segment begins, the resistance will
automatically change if a dif
ting is programmed for the next segment.

HOW T
Each heart rate program helps you to keep your heart
rate near a certain percentage of your maximum heart
rate during your workout. (Your maximum heart rate is
estimated by subtracting your age from 220. For
example, if you are 30 years old, your maximum heart
rate is 190.) Heart rate program 1 is designed to keep
your heart rate between 50% and 80% of your maximum heart rate while you exercise; heart rate program 2 is designed to keep your heart rate between
50% and 85% of your maximum heart rate.
Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the exercise
cycle regularly. To clean the exercise cycle, use a
soft, damp cloth. To prevent damage to the console,
keep liquids away from the console and keep the console out of direct sunlight.
HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH
If the console does not display correct feedback, the
reed switch should be adjusted. To adjust the reed
switch, the Right Side Shield (27) must be removed.
Using an adjustable wrench, turn the Right Pedal (21)
counterclockwise and remove it. Remove the Seat
Post Knob (20). Next, remove the M4 x 25mm Screws
(65). Turn the Right Crank Arm (24) so that it is pointing toward the front of the exercise cycle and then
slide off the Right Side Shield.

urn the right crank arm for a moment. Repeat until
T
the console displays correct feedback. When the reed
switch is correctly adjusted, reattach the right side
shield, the seat post knob, and the right pedal.
HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT
If you can feel the pedals slip while you are pedaling,
even when the resistance is adjusted to the highest
level, the Drive Belt (47) may need to be adjusted. To
adjust the Drive Belt, you must first remove both side
shields. See HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH
at the left and remove the side shields.

Next, locate the Reed Switch (46). Turn the Right
Crank Arm (24) until the Magnet (30) is aligned with
the Reed Switch. Loosen, but do not remove, the indicated Screw (57). Slide the Reed Switch slightly closer to or away from the Magnet. Then, retighten the
Screw.

Next, turn the indicated M8 Nylon Locknut (63) until
the Drive Belt (47) is properly tightened. Then, reattach the side shields.
PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
• Avoid moving your hands while using the pulse sensor. Excessive movement may interfere with heart
rate readings. Do not hold the metal contacts too
tightly; doing so may interfere with heart rate readings.
• For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the
metal contacts for about 15 seconds.
• For optimal performance of the pulse sensor, keep
the metal contacts clean. The contacts can be
cleaned with a soft cloth—never use alcohol,
abrasives, or chemicals.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
Fat Burning
WARNING:
• Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This
cially important for individuals over the
age of 35 or individuals with pre-existing
health problems.
• The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is
intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.
The following guidelines will help you to plan your
exercise program. Remember that 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, the key to achieving the
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.
The proper intensity level can be found by using your
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recommended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.
is espe-
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener
gy. 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 or the middle number in your training zone as you
exercise.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise
is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for
prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand
on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the
lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise,
adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart
rate is near the highest number in your training zone.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your
body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.
-
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the
nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers
your age; the three numbers are your “training zone.”
The lowest number is the recommended heart rate for
fat burning; the middle number is the recommended
heart rate for maximum fat burning; and the highest
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.
above
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 minutes of exercising 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.)
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This
will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will
help to prevent post-exercise problems.

To maintain or improve your condition, plan three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest between
workouts.
