CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
Place all parts of the PROFORM¨975s in a cleared area and remove the packing materials. Do not dispose of
the packing materials until assembly is completed.
Assembly requires the included tools and your own adjustable wrench .
PART CHART
Use the part drawings below to identify the small parts used in assembly. The number in parenthesis below
each drawing refers to the key number of the part. The second number refers to the quantity used in assembly.
Note: Some small parts may have been pre-attached for shipping. If a part is not in the parts bag, check
to see if it has been pre-assembled.
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 individuals
over the age of 35 or individuals withpreexisting health problems.
WHY EXERCISE?
Exercise has proven essential for good health and
general well-being. Regular participation in a wellrounded exercise program results in a stronger and
more efficient heart, improved respiratory function,
increased stamina and endurance, better weight management and body fat control, increased ability to deal
with stress, and greater self-esteem and confidence.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
To maximize the benefits of exercising, it is important
to exercise with the proper intensity. The proper intensity level can be found by using your heart rate as a
guide. For effective aerobic exercise, your heart rate
should be maintained at a level between 70% and
85% of your maximum heart rate as you exercise.
This is known as your training zone. You can find
your training zone in the table below. Training zones
are listed according to age and physical condition.
During the first few months of your exercise program,
keep your heart rate near the low end of your training
zone as you exercise. After a few months of regular
exercise, your heart rate can be increased gradually
until it is near the middle of your training zone as you
exercise.
To measure your heart rate, use the pulse sensor in
the handlebar. You can also measure your pulse by
placing two fingers
on your wrist. Stop
exercising and
take a six-second
heartbeat count.
Multiply the result
by ten to find your
heart rate. (A sixsecond count is
used because
your heart rate
drops quickly
when you stop
exercising.) If your heart rate is too high, decrease the
intensity of your exercise. If your heart rate is too low,
increase the intensity of your exercise.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
A well-rounded workout includes the following three
phases:
A warm-up phase, lasting 5 to 10 minutes. Begin with
slow, controlled stretches, and progress to more rhythmic stretches. This will increase the body temperature,
heart rate, and circulation in preparation for strenuous
exercise.
A cardiovascular phase, including 20 to 30 minutes
of exercising with your heart rate in your training zone.
A cool-down phase, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of
stretching. Thorough stretching offsets muscle contractions and other problems caused when you stop
exercising suddenly. Stretching for increased flexibility
is often most effective during this phase. This phase
should leave you relaxed and comfortably tired.
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. Find the best time of day for your
workouts, and then stick with it.
Remember, the key to success is to make exercise a
regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

HOW TO USE THE PULSE SENSOR
The convenient pulse sensor allows you to measure
your heart rate periodically. You can measure your
heart rate before you begin exercising, during your
workout, and again when you finish.
To use the pulse
sensor, first
make sure that
the power is
turned on. Stop
exercising, rest
both feet on the
floor, and place
your hands on
the metal contacts. Your
palms must be
resting on the
inner contacts and your fingers must be touching the
outer contacts. Avoid moving your hands. After a
moment, the heart indicator in the PULSE display will
flash and your heart rate will be shown. For the most
accurate heart rate reading, continue to hold the contacts for about 15 seconds.
HAND PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING
¥ Avoid moving your hands while using the pulse sen-
sor. Excessive movement may interfere with heart
rate readings. If the pulse sensor is not used correctly, the heart indicator will flash repeatedly in the
PULSE display but your heart rate will not be shown.
Metal
Contacts
¥ If an ÒLÓ appears in the PULSE display, then the
pulse sensor received too little pulse information to
accurately calculate your pulse. Let go of the metal
contacts; 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.
¥ If an ÒHÓ appears in the PULSE display, then the
pulse sensor received too much pulse information to
accurately calculate your pulse. Let go of the metal
contacts; 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.
¥ Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so
may interfere with heart rate readings.
¥ Do not move your hands while you hold the metal
contacts; your muscle movement may interfere with
heart rate readings.
¥ For the most accurate heart rate reading, wait for
about 15 seconds.
¥ For optimal performance of the pulse sensor, keep
the metal contacts clean. The contacts can be
cleaned with a soft clothÑnever use alcohol,
abrasives, or chemicals.
8. Attach a Seat Handle (17) to the Seat Bracket (69)
with two M6 x 38mm Button Head Bolts (18) and
two M6 Nylon Locknuts (66).
Attach the other Seat Handle (17) to the Seat
Bracket (69) in the same manner.

¥ Distance (DIST)ÑThis mode shows the total num-
ber of miles you have cycled, up to 999. The display
will then reset to zero and continue counting.
¥ LapsÑThis mode shows the number of quarter-mile
laps you have completed.
¥ Calories (CAL)ÑThis mode shows the approximate
number of calories you have burned.
STEP-BY-STEP CONSOLE OPERATION
Before the console can be operated, two ÒAAÓ batteries must be installed. (See assembly step 11 on
page 7 for installation instructions.) Follow the steps
below to operate the console.
Turn on the power
1
To turn on the
power, press the
on/reset button or
simply begin exercising. When the
power is turned on,
the entire display
will appear for two seconds. The console will then
be ready for use. Note: If batteries were just
installed, the power will already be on.
Select one of the three pacer programs or the
2
manual mode
When the power is
first turned on, the
console will be in
the manual mode.
To select one of the
pacer programs,
repeatedly press
the program button.
The program indicator will show
which program you
have selected. The
programs will be selected in the following order:
the manual mode, the 6 MPH/30 RPM program,
the 12 MPH/60 RPM program, and the 18 MPH/
90 RPM program. Note: Once you select a pacer
program, you can reselect the manual mode by
repeatedly pressing the program button.
If you selected a
pacer program, two
indicators on the
P.A.C.E.R. track will
light. The indicator
on the inner track
will show your actual
pace. The indicator
on the outer track
will move around the track at the programmed
pace. As you exercise, adjust your pace so that
the indicators on the inner and outer tracks
remain even. As the program progresses, the target pace will change periodically; as the target
pace changes, you should also adjust your pace.
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.
Follow your progress with the monitor modes

DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE
The innovative console offers a manual mode and
three pacer programs. The pacer programs are
designed to help you achieve your exercise goals by
pacing your exercise. The programs include an 18
MPH/90 RPM program, a 12 MPH/60 RPM program,
and a 6 MPH/30 RPM program. The console also features five monitor modes that provide continuous exercise feedback. Note: On some consoles the pro-
grams are listed in MPH and on others in RPM.
Both sets of programs are identical.
HOW THE PACER PROGRAMS OPERATE
When you use a
pacer program, an
indicator will light
on each track of
the P.A.C.E.R.
display. The outer
track shows a target pace; the inner
track will show
your actual pace.
The target pace
will change periodically during the 18 MPH/90 RPM
and 12 MPH/60 RPM programs; as the target pace
changes, simply adjust your pace to keep both indica-

tors even. 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.
The graphs on the left side of the console show how
the target pace will change during each program (see
the drawing above). Each graph is divided into ten
columns, and each column represents 1/10 of a mile.
The bars in each column show what the target pace
will be during that 1/10 of a mile. For example, in the
first column of the 12 MPH/60 RPM graph, there is
one bar. This shows that during the first 1/10 of a mile
in this program, the target pace will be 6 MPH (30
RPM). In the second column, there are two bars, indicating that the pace is now 12 MPH (60 RPM).
DESCRIPTION OF THE MONITOR MODES
The five monitor modes provide continuous exercise
feedback. The modes are described below.
¥ SpeedÑThis mode shows your pace, in miles per
hour.
¥ TimeÑThis mode counts the length of time you
have exercised. Note: If you stop exercising for ten
seconds or longer, the time mode will pause.
