3. To reset the display, press the on/reset button.
4. To turn off the power, simply wait for about four min-
utes. Note: The console has an Òauto-offÓ fea-
ture. If the pedals are not moved and the con­sole buttons are not pressed for four minutes, the power will turn off automatically in order to conserve the batteries.
Inspect and tighten all parts of the exercise cycle reg­ularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
The exercise cycle can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid spilling liquid on the console. Keep the console out of direct sunlight or the display may be damaged. Remove the batteries when storing the exercise cycle.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the console does not function properly, the batteries should be replaced. See assembly step 4 on page 5. In addition, make sure that the console wire is con­nected to the reed switch wire.
HOW TO TIGHTEN THE CRANK
If the arms of the Crank (20) become loose, they should be tightened in order to prevent excessive wear. Loosen the crank nut on the left arm of the Crank. Place the end of a standard screwdriver in one of the slots in the slotted crank nut. Lightly tap the screwdriver with a hammer to turn the slotted crank nut counterclockwise until the arms are no longer loose. Do not overtighten the slotted crank nut. When the slotted crank nut is properly tightened, retighten the Crank Nut.

HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH
If the console does not display correct feedback, the reed switch should be adjusted. In order to adjust the reed switch, the Left Side Shield (12) must be remov­ed. Remove the four Side Shield Screws (15) from the Right Side Shield (13) and the three M4 x 16mm Tapping Screws (30) from the bottom of the Left Side Shield. Carefully slide the Left Side Shield forward off the arm of the Crank (20) and remove it.
Next, locate the Reed Switch (33). Turn the crank until the Magnet (46) is aligned with the Reed Switch. Loosen but do not remove the M4 x 16mm Screw (30). Slide the Reed Switch slightly clos­er to or away from the Magnet. Retighten the Screw. Turn the crank for a moment. Repeat until the console displays correct feedback. When the Reed Switch is correctly adjusted, reattach the left side shield.
HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE STRAP
If there is not enough pedaling resistance when the resistance knob is turned to the highest setting, the Resistance Strap (17) may need to be adjusted. To adjust the Resistance Strap, first turn the resis­tance knob to the low­est setting. Next, locate and open the Strap Buckle (18) on the underside of the side shields. Grip the
end of the Resistance Strap (17) and pull it back slightly to remove any slack. While holding the end of the Resistance Strap, fully close the Strap Buckle. Turn the crank for a moment to make sure that there is not too much resistance.
HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT
The exercise cycle features a drive belt that must be kept properly adjusted. If the belt causes excessive noise or slips as you pedal, the belt should be checked. To do this, the side shields must first be removed. Refer to the instructions on this page and remove the left side shield. Next, remove the right side shield the same way.
Press down on the center of the Drive Belt (23) between the front and rear pulleys.
There should be from 1/4Ó to 1/2Ó of movement in the center of the Belt.
If the drive belt is properly adjust­ed, reattach the side shields. If the Belt needs to be adjusted, loosen the Axle Nut (29) on each side of the fly­wheel. To tighten the Belt, turn the Adjustment Nuts (27) clockwise; to loosen the Belt, turn the Adjustment Nuts counterclockwise. Make sure that the Flywheel is straight and tighten the Axle Nuts (29). Reattach the side shields.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
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 on 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 Òtraining zone.Ó The lowest number is the recommended heart rate for fat burning; the middle number is the heart rate for maximum fat burning; the highest number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Burning Fat
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 in your training zone as you exercise.
For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near 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 Òaerobic.Ó 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.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE
To measure your heart rate, first 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. (A six­second count is used because your heart rate will drop rapidly when you stop exercising.)
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.
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.)
WARNING: Before beginning this or any exer­cise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.

PART LISTÑModel No. 831.288220 R0399A
Note: Ò#Ó refers to a non-illustrated part. Specifications are subject to change without notice. See the back cover of this manual for information about ordering replacement parts.
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. Caution: Be sure to progress at your own
pace and avoid overdoing it. Incorrect or excessive training may result in injury to your health.
Remember, the key to success is make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
