CONSOLE DIAGRAM
Resistance Dial
FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers an array of features
designed to make your workouts more effective and
enjoyable. When you select the manual mode of the
console, you can change the resistance of the pedals
with a touch of the dial. As you exercise, the console
will provide continuous exercise feedback. You can
even measure your heart rate using the handgrip
pulse sensor.
The console offers sixteen trainer workouts. Each
workout automatically changes the resistance of the
pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease your
pedaling pace as it guides you through an effective
workout.
You can also use two calorie goal workouts designed
to help you burn 150 or 200 calories. The calorie goal
workouts automatically control the resistance of the
pedals and prompt you to increase or decrease your
pedaling pace while counting the calories you burn.
In addition, the console offers two heart rate workouts
that change the resistance of the pedals to keep your
heart rate near a target heart rate while you exercise.
IMPORTANT: Before you use the console for the
first time, you must select BIKE or ELLIPTICAL; if
you do not do this, the console will not display
correct feedback. (See HOW TO ENTER CONSOLE
SETTINGS on page 14.)

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the exercise
ycle regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
c
To clean the exercise cycle, use a damp cloth and a
small amount of mild soap—never use alcohol, abra-
sives, or chemicals to clean the exercise cycle.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the console,
keep liquids away from the console and keep the
console out of direct sunlight.
CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING
If the console display becomes dim, the batteries
should be replaced; most console problems are the
result of low batteries. To replace the batteries, see
assembly step 8 on page 9. If the console does not
display your heart rate when you use the handgrip
pulse sensor, see step 5 on page 16.
HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH
If the console does not display correct feedback, the
reed switch should be adjusted. To adjust the reed
switch, you must first remove the left pedal and the
left shield. Using an adjustable wrench, turn the left
pedal clockwise and remove it. Next, remove the
screws from the left and right shields; there are three
sizes of screws in the shields—note which size of
screw you remove from each hole. Then, gently
remove the left shield.
HOW TO ADJUST THE BELT
If you can feel the pedals slip while you are pedaling,
even when the resistance is at the highest level, the
belt may need to be adjusted.
To adjust the belt, you must first remove the right
pedal and the right shield. Using an adjustable
wrench, turn the right pedal clockwise and remove it.
Next, remove the screws from the left and right
shields; there are three sizes of screws in the
shields—note which size of screw you remove
from each hole. Then, gently remove the right shield.
To tighten the belt, first loosen the M10 x 22mm Bolt
(45). Next, tighten the M8 x 38mm Hex Screw (69)
until the belt is tight. Then, retighten the M10 x 22mm
Bolt (45). Reattach the right shield and the right pedal.
Locate the Reed Switch (21). Turn the Right Crank
Arm (54) until a Magnet (16) is aligned with the Reed
Switch. Next, loosen, but do not remove, the indicated
M4 x 16mm Flange Screw (61). Slide the Reed Switch
slightly closer to or away from the Magnet, and then
retighten the Flange Screw. Turn the Right Crank Arm
Crank for a moment. Repeat these actions until the
console displays correct feedback. When the Reed
Switch is correctly adjusted, reattach the left shield
and the left pedal.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WARNING: Before beginning
this or any exercise program, consult your
physician. This is especially important for
persons over age 35 or persons with pre-
xisting health problems.
e
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.
These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise
program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a
reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,
proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for
successful results.
Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exer-
ise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of
c
time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your
ody uses carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after
b
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. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your
heart rate near the middle number in your training
zone.
Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic
exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts
of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until
your heart rate is near the highest number in your
training zone.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper intensity is the key to achieving results. You can use your
heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level.
The chart below shows recommended heart rates for
fat burning and aerobic exercise.
To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the
bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). The three numbers listed above your
age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is
the 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.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body
temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation
for exercise.
Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes 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.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you
exercise–never hold your breath.
Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of
stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your
muscles and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, complete 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 to
make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your
everyday life.
