HOW TO OPERATE THE RECUMBENT CYCLE
FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The easy-to-use console offers a manual mode and
three personal trainer programs that pace your exercise for effective workouts. You can choose a staminabuilding interval program, an aerobic program, or a
special fat-burning program. To adjust the intensity of
your exercise, you can change the pedal resistance at
any time with a touch of a button. As you exercise,
you can watch your progress on the console display.
The display features six different modes:
Speed—When an arrow appears above the word
SPEED, the console will display your pedaling speed.
Time—When an arrow appears above the word TIME,
the console will display the elapsed time. Note: When
a pace program is selected, the console will display
the
time remaining
in the program.
Distance—When an arrow appears above the word
DISTANCE, the console will display the distance you
have pedaled.
Fat Calories—When an arrow appears below the
words FAT CALS, the console will display the approximate number of
fat calories
you have burned (see
BURNING FAT on page 13).
Calories—When an arrow appears below the word
CALORIES, the console will display the approximate
number of calories you have burned.
Scan—When an arrow appears below the word
SCAN, the console will display all of the information
above in a repeating cycle.
Pulse—When you use the pulse sensor, the console
will display your heart rate. (See step 6 on page 10.)
HOW THE PACE PROGRAMS OPERATE
When you use a
pace program, two
columns of bars will
appear in the display. The left column represents a
target pace and the
right column shows
your actual pedaling pace. The target pace will change periodically during the program; as the target pace changes, simply
adjust your pedaling pace to keep both columns at the
same height. Important: The target pace is a
goal
pace. Your actual pace may be slower than the target pace, especially during the first few months of
your exercise program. Be sure to exercise at a
pace that is comfortable for you.
The three graphs
on the console
show how the
target pace will
change during the
programs. For
example, during the
aerobic program (program 2), the graph shows that the
target pace will gradually increase during the first half
of the program, and then gradually decrease during
the last half. Each program will last for twenty minutes.
STEP-BY-STEP CONSOLE OPERATION
The innovative recumbent cycle requires no
batteries or external power source. Instead, power
is supplied by a generator as you pedal. Note: To
operate the resistance buttons, you must pedal at a
pace of about 30 revolutions per minute (rpm) or
faster.
Begin pedaling
To activate the console, simply begin pedaling.
After a few seconds, the entire display will
appear for two seconds; the console will then be
ready for use.

Select one of the three pace programs or the
manual mode
To select one
of the pace
programs,
repeatedly
press the
Program
Select button.
The program
indicator will show which program you have
selected. To select the manual mode, press the
Program Select button until the program indicator
disappears. The programs will be selected in the
following order: program 1 (interval), program 2
(aerobic), program 3 (fat burn), manual mode.
Begin your workout
If you selected the manual mode, go
to step 4. If
you selected
one of the
pace programs, two
columns of
bars will appear in the display. The left column
will show one bar, indicating a relatively slow
pace. The right column will show your actual pedaling pace. Adjust your pedaling pace until only
one bar appears in the right column. Each time
the target pace changes during the program,
adjust your pedaling pace to keep both columns
at the same height.
Follow your progress with the console display
The scan
mode—
Repeatedly
press the
Display Mode
button until an
arrow appears
under the
word SCAN. When the scan mode is selected, the
console will display your pedaling speed, the
elapsed time, the distance you have pedaled, and
the numbers of fat calories and calories you have
burned. Asecond arrow will show which mode is
currently displayed. Each mode will be displayed
for five seconds.
The speed,
time, distance, fat
calorie,
or calorie
mode—
Repeatedly
press the
Display Mode button until an arrow appears
below or above the name of the desired mode.
Make sure that there is not an arrow under the
word SCAN.
The pulse mode—To use the pulse mode, see
step 6.
To reset the display, press the reset button.
Change the pedal resistance as desired
To change the pedal resistance, press the resistance + and – buttons. Important: You must
pedal at a pace of about 30 rpm or faster for
the resistance buttons to operate. If the pedal
resistance does not change when a resistance
button is pressed, the resistance may have
reached the maximum or minimum setting.
Note: When you finish exercising, the pedal resistance will remain at the same setting until the
next workout.
Measure your heart rate if desired
Important: If there are thin sheets of plastic on
the metal contacts on the pulse sensor, remove
the plastic before using the pulse sensor.
To use the
pulse sensor,
place your
hands on the
metal contacts.
Your palms
must be resting on the front
contacts and
your fingers
must be touching the rear contacts. Avoid moving
your hands. After a moment, a heart-shaped indicator in the display will begin to flash and your
heart rate will be shown. For the most accurate
reading, continue to hold the contacts for about
15 seconds.
Make sure that your hands are positioned as
described, and that you are not moving your
hands excessively or squeezing the metal contacts too tightly.

Turn off the console
To turn off the console, simply stop pedaling.
If the pedals are not moved, the console will turn
off automatically after one to two minutes.
HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDAL STRAPS
To adjust the pedal
straps, first pull the
straps off the tabs
on the pedals.
Move the straps to
the desired position and press the
straps back onto
the tabs.
HOW TO ADJUST THE POSITION OF THE SEAT
For effective exercise,
the seat should be in
the proper position. As
you pedal, there
should be a slight
bend in your knees
when the pedals are
the farthest away. To
adjust the seat, first lift
the seat tab in front of
the seat. Next, slide
the seat to the desired
position and release
the seat tab. Important: After you adjust the position
of the seat, make sure that your knees will not hit
the console when you pedal.

Inspect and tighten all parts of the recumbent cycle
regularly. To clean the recumbent 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.
PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING
• Avoid moving your hands while using the pulse sen-
sor. 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.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLE-SHOOTING

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.
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 above
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.
Fat Burning
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 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 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. Aproper warm-up increases your
body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.
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.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, plan 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.
The key to success is make exercise a regular and
enjoyable part of your everyday life.
WARNING:
Before beginning
this or any exercise program, consult your
physician. This is especially important for
individuals over the age of 35orindividuals
withpre-existing healthproblems.
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.
