DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE
The innovative
onsole offers a
c
manual mode
and three pacer
programs. The
pacer programs
are designed to
help you achieve
specific exercise
goals by pacing
your exercise.
You can choose
from a staminabuilding Interval
program, an
Aerobic program,
and a special Fat
Burn program. As
you exercise, seven monitor modes will provide continuous exercise feedback. The monitor modes are
described below:
Speed—This mode shows your pedaling pace, in
kilometres or miles per hour (see HOW TO
SELECT KILOMETRES OR MILES on page 10).
Time—If you select the manual mode, this mode
will show the elapsed time. If you select one of
the three pacer programs, this mode will count
down the time remaining in the program.
Distance—This mode shows the distance you have
pedaled, in kilometres or miles.
Lap—This mode shows the number of laps you
have completed. One lap equals 0.25 kilometres
or miles.
To adjust each
Pedal Strap (66),
pull the Pedal
Strap off the tab
on the pedal. Align
the desired hole in
the Pedal Strap
with the tab and
press the Pedal
Strap back onto the tab.

Calorie—This mode shows the approximate
number of calories you have burned.
Scan—This mode displays the above five modes,
for 5 seconds each, in a repeating cycle.
Pulse—This mode shows your heart rate when
the pulse monitor is used. (See HOW TO USE
THE PULSE MONITOR on page 10.)
HOW THE PACER PROGRAMS OPERATE
When you use a
acer program, two
p
columns of bars
ill appear in the
w
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.
Target Pace

To select one of
the pacer
programs,
repeatedly press
the program
button. The program indicator
will show which
program you
have selected.
To select the
manual mode, press the program 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.
Program Indicator
Program Button
The three graphs
on the console
show how the target pace will
change during the
programs. Each
graph is divided
into ten columns of bars. Each column represents a
two-minute period, and each bar represents a target
pace of 5 mph (8 kph). In graph P1, for example, there
is one bar in the farthest left column. This shows that
during the first two minutes of program P1, the target
pace will be 5 mph (8 kph). In the second column
there are five bars. This shows that during the second
two-minute period, the target pace will be 25 mph (40
kph). Each program will last for twenty minutes.
STEP-BY-STEP CONSOLE OPERATION

HOW TO USE THE PULSE MONITOR
The built-in pulse monitor allows you to measure your
heart rate at any time during your workouts. You can
measure your heart rate before you begin exercising,
while you exercise, and again when you finish.
To use the pulse
monitor, first make
sure that the
power is on. Next,
stop exercising,
rest both feet on
the floor, and
place your hands
on the metal contacts of the pulse
monitor. Your
palms must be
Outer
Contact
Inner
Contact
resting on the inner contacts and your fingers
must be touching the outer contacts. Avoid moving
your hands. When your pulse is detected, a heartshaped indicator in the display will flash. After a
moment, three dashes will appear and your heart rate
will be shown. For the most accurate reading, continue
to hold the contacts for about 15 seconds.
PULSE MONITOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING
• Do not squeeze the metal contacts too tightly or
move your hands while using the pulse monitor.
Doing so may interfere with heart rate readings. If
the pulse monitor is not used correctly, the heartshaped indicator in the display will flash repeatedly
but your heart rate will not be shown.
10
• If an “L” or an “H” appears in the display, the pulse
monitor is receiving too little or too much pulse information. Let go of the metal contacts and then place
your hands on the contacts again. Your palms must
be resting on the inner contacts and your fingers
must be touching the outer contacts.
• For the most accurate heart rate reading, wait for
about 15 seconds.
• For optimal performance of the pulse monitor, keep
the metal contacts clean. The contacts can be
cleaned with a soft cloth—do not use alcohol,
abrasives, or chemicals.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLE-SHOOTING
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 or the pulse
monitor. Keep the console out of direct sunlight or the
display may be damaged. Remove the battery when
storing the exercise cycle.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the console does not function properly, replace the
battery (see assembly step 1 on page 5).
HOW TO LEVEL THE EXERCISE CYCLE
If the exercise
cycle does not
sit flat on the
floor, try turning
one or both of
the Adjustable
Endcaps (25) at
the front of the
exercise cycle
until the exercise cycle is
level.
25
HOW TO TIGHTEN THE CRANK
If the arms of the
Crank (22)
become loose,
they should be
tightened in order
to prevent excessive wear. Loosen
the two Hex Jam
Nuts (53) on the
left arm of the
Crank. Place the
end of a standard
screwdriver in one of the slots in the outer bearing
nut. Tap the screwdriver with a hammer to turn the
outer bearing nut counterclockwise until the arms are
no longer loose. Do not overtighten the outer bear-ing nut. When the outer bearing nut is properly tightened, retighten the Hex Jam Nut.

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.
WARNING: Before beginning any exercise
program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons over the age of 35
or persons with pre-existing health problems.
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.
AGE
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 “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 three important parts: a
warm-up, training zone exercise, and a cool-down.
Warming up—Begin each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A proper warmup increases your body temperature, heart rate and
circulation in preparation for exercise.
AEROBIC
b.p.m.
MAX. FAT
FAT BURN
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
at the top of the chart (ages are rounded off to the
nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers
below 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 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 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.
Training zone exercise—After warming up, increase
the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is in
your training zone for 20 to 30 minutes. (During the
first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep
your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20
minutes.)
Cooling down—Finish each workout with 5 to 10
minutes of stretching. This will increase your flexibility
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. Remember, the key to success is make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
CAUTION: Be sure to progress at your own pace
and avoid overdoing it. Incorrect or excessive training may result in injury to your health.
