HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT

The exercise bike features a precision belt that must be kept properly adjusted. If the belt is too tight, the bearings may be damaged; if the belt is too loose, the fan may be damaged. If the belt causes excessive noise or slips as you pedal, follow the steps below.

Carefully remove the five Guard Clips (76), the left Guard Fastener (35), and the Left Guard (14). See the inset drawing. Press downward on the Drive Belt (22). There should be no more than 3/4 in. (2 cm), and no less than 1/4 in. (0.6 cm), of vertical movement

in the center of the Drive Belt.

14

If the Drive Belt (22) needs to be adjusted, first loosen the right Guard Fastener (not shown). To tighten the Drive Belt, turn the M6 Nuts (53) clockwise; to loosen the Drive Belt, turn the M6 Nuts counterclockwise.

See the drawing at the left. Make sure that the Fan (5) is straight, and then reattach the Left Guard (14), tighten the Guard Fasteners (35), and reattach the Guard Clips (76).

CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING

If the console does not function properly, see assembly step 8 on page 9 for battery replacement instruc- tions. Most console problems are the result of low

batteries.

21

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, the Right Shield (17) must be moved. Remove the five M4 x 25mm Screws (69) from the Right Shield. Lift the Right Link Arm (15) off the pedal or the lock rod and move it clear of the Right Shield. Then, pull the top of the Right Shield away from the Left Shield (18).

69

Next, locate the Reed Switch (31). Turn the Right Crank Arm (26) until the Magnet (48) is aligned with

the Reed Switch.

26

Loosen, but do not remove, the two M4 x 13mm

Flange Screws (27). Then, slide the Reed Switch (31) slightly closer to or away from the Magnet (48), and retighten the Screws. Turn the Right Crank Arm (26)

for a moment.

Repeat these actions until the console displays correct feedback. When the reed switch is correctly adjusted, reattach the right shield.

EXERCISE GUiDELiNES

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.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Burning Fat--To burn fat effectively, you must exer- cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses 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. 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.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper inten- sity 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.

165 155 145 i40 130 125 115 _ 145 138 130 125 118 110 103 _,_

125 120 i15 110 105 95 90

20 30 40 50 60 70 80

To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the near- est 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.

Warming Up--Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch- ing 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 min- utes 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 stretch- ing. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.

EXERCISEFREQUENCY

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 exer- cise, 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.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES

The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right. Move slowly as you stretch; never bounce.

1. Toe Touch Stretch

Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees and back.

2. Hamstring Stretch

Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg. Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back and groin.

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

4

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

Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward. Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip

muscles.
