MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Inspect and tighten all parts of the exercise cycle regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

To clean the exercise cycle, use a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Important: To avoid

damage to the console, keep liquids away from the console and keep the console out of direct sunlight.

HOW TO MOVE THE EXERCISE CYCLE

To move the exercise cycle, stand in front of the exercise cycle, hold the handlebars, and place one foot on the front stabiliser. Pull the handlebars until the exercise cycle can be moved on the front wheels. Carefully move the exercise cycle to the desired location, place one foot on the front stabiliser, and then carefully lower the exercise cycle.

Handlebar

HOW TO LEVEL THE EXERCISE CYCLE

After the exercise cycle has been moved to the location where it will be used, make sure that both ends of front stabiliser are touching the floor. If the exercise cycle rocks slightly during use, turn one or both of the leveling feet under the front stabiliser until the rocking motion is eliminated.

HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING

• Avoid moving your hands whilst using the handgrip 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 30 seconds.

• For optimal performance of the handgrip pulse sensor, keep the metal contacts clean. The contacts can be cleaned with a soft cloth;

abrasives, or chemicals.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

If the console is using battery power, and if the displays becomes dim, the batteries should be replaced. Most console problems are the result of low batteries. See assembly step 9 on page 8 for replacement instructions.

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

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.

The pulse sensor is not a medical device. Various factors, including the user's movement, 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.

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.

During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses easily accessible 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 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 “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.

To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age

to the

at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded of 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; the highest number is the recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.

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.

3. Calf/Achilles Stretch

With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons and ankles.

4. Quadriceps Stretch

With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.

5. Inner Thigh Stretch
