“L.” Using an adjustable spanner, firmly tighten the
Left Pedal counterclockwise into the Left Crank Arm
(24). Tighten the Right Pedal (not shown) clockwise
into the Right Crank Arm. Important: Tighten both
Pedals as firmly as possible. After using the
exercise cycle for one week, retighten the
Pedals. For best performance, the Pedals must
be kept tightened.
Identify the Left Pedal Strap (25), which is marked
with an “L.” Attach the Left Pedal Strap to the Left
Pedal (22), and adjust it to the desired position.

HOW TO USE THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR
HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR
The chest pulse sensor consists of two components:
the chest strap and the sensor unit. Follow the steps
below to put on the chest pulse sensor.
See the inset drawing above. Insert the tab on
one end of the chest strap through one end of the
sensor unit. Press the end of the sensor unit
under the buckle on the chest strap.
Wrap the
chest pulse
sensor
around
your chest.
Attach the
free end of
the chest
strap to the
sensor unit as described above. Adjust the length
of the chest strap, if necessary. The chest pulse
sensor should be under your clothes, against
your skin, and as high under the pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable. Make sure that
the logo is right-side-up and facing forward.
Pull the
sensor unit
away from
your body
a few inches and
locate the
two electrode areas on the inner side. Using a saline
solution such as saliva or contact lens solution,
wet both electrode areas. Return the sensor unit
to a position against your chest.
CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly, or if the displayed heart rate is excessively high
or low, try the troubleshooting steps below.
• Make sure that you are wearing the chest pulse sensor as described at the left. If the chest pulse sensor
does not function when positioned as described,
move it slightly lower or higher on your chest.
• Each time you use the chest pulse sensor, use
saline solution such as saliva or contact lens solution to wet the two electrode areas on the sensor
unit (see the drawing below). If heart rate readings
do not appear until you begin perspiring, re-wet the
electrode areas.
• Make sure that you are within arm’s length of the
console. For the console to display heart rate
readings, the user must be within arm’s length of
the console.
• If you wear the chest pulse sensor and hold the
handgrip pulse sensor at the same time, the console
may not display your heart rate accurately.
• The chest pulse sensor is designed to work with
people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate
reading problems may be caused by medical conditions such as premature ventricular contractions
(pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.
• The operation of the chest pulse sensor can be
affected by magnetic interference caused by high
power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that
magnetic interference may be causing a problem,
try relocating your exercise equipment.
• If the chest pulse sensor still does not function properly, test the chest pulse sensor in the following way:
Hold the chest
pulse sensor
and place your
thumbs over
the electrode
areas as
shown. Next,
hold the chest
pulse sensor near the console. Whilst holding one
thumb stationary, begin tapping the other thumb
against the electrode area at a rate of about one tap
per second. Check the heart rate reading on the
console.
