HOW TO PLAY THE FAT BLOCKER GAME
The Fat Blocker game requires quick thinking and fast reflexes. In addition to the console buttons, you will use the four-button game controllers on the handlebar to play the game. Follow the steps below to play the Fat Blocker game.
Begin pedaling or press any button on the console to turn on the console.
A moment after you begin pedaling or press a button, the display will light.
Select the Fat Blocker game.
To select the Fat Blocker game, press the Fitness Games button repeatedly until the words FAT BLOCKER appear at the top of the display.
Press a button on either controller to start the game.
When you start the Fat Blocker game, a game arena will appear in the center of the display.
A block composed of four or five black squares will slowly move downward until it reaches the bottom of the arena. Another block will then move downward. Blocks come in eight different shapes. As each block falls, you can move it to the left or right using the left and right buttons on the left controller. In addition, you can rotate the block counterclockwise or clockwise using the left and right buttons on the right controller. Once you have positioned and oriented a block, you can speed its motion to the bottom of the arena, if desired, by pressing the down button on either controller.
Your goal is to maneuver the blocks so that they form a complete row of black squares across the entire arena. Each time you complete a row of black squares, the row will disappear, and all blocks above will move downward one row.
As you play, the blocks will fall faster and faster; however, your pedaling pace will affect the speed of the blocks—the faster you pedal, the more slowly the blocks will fall, giving you extra time to position and orient the blocks. The game will con­tinue until any part of a stacked block reaches the top of the arena.
When the game ends, the display will show your final score and the level of play that you reached. The display will then show the four highest scores recorded since the scores were reset. If desired, press and hold down the right button on either controller to reset the scores. Note: If your score is one of the four highest, the display will prompt you to enter a name consisting of three letters or digits. While the line below the first letter is flash­ing, press the up and down buttons on either con­troller to select the desired letter or digit. Next, press the right button on either controller and select another letter or digit. Repeat this process to select a third letter or digit. Then, press the right button on either controller again. The display will then show the four highest scores recorded since the scores were reset.
Follow your progress with the display.
While you exercise and play the Fat Blocker game, the corners of the display will show the elapsed time, the approximate number of calories you have burned, and your pedaling pace. In addi­tion, the display will show your current score and the game level that you have reached.
To pause the game, press the Display button. To resume the game, press the Display button repeatedly until the words FAT BLOCKER appear at the top of the display, and then press a button on either controller.
When you are finished exercising, the console will turn off automatically.

HOW TO PLAY THE CALORIE DESTROYER GAME
The Calorie Destroyer game is a fast-paced game that pits you against a squadron of laser-firing drones. In addition to the console buttons, you will use the four­button game controllers on the handlebar to play the game. Follow the steps below to play the Calorie Destroyer game.
Begin pedaling or press any button on the console to turn on the console.
A moment after you begin pedaling or press a button, the display will light.
Select the Calorie Destroyer game.
To select the Calorie Destroyer game, press the Fitness Games button repeatedly until the word DESTROYER appears at the top of the display.
Pedal to start the game.
When you start the Calorie Destroyer game, a game arena will appear in the display. Three rows of drones will begin to move across the top of the arena, periodically firing their lasers downward. Each time the drones reach the left or right side of the arena, they will reverse direction and move downward.
At the bottom of the arena is a laser blaster. You can fire the laser blaster at the drones by press­ing the up button on either controller. In addition, while you are pedaling, you can move the laser blaster to the left or right using the left and right buttons on either controller. The faster you pedal, the faster the laser blaster will move.
Between the drones and the laser blaster are five shields. You can hide the laser blaster below a shield if desired. However, each time a shield is hit by a laser, a piece will be vaporized.
Your goal is to keep the laser blaster from being hit and to keep any drone from reaching the bot­tom of the arena. If the laser blaster is hit, it will be disabled and another laser blaster will appear in its place; there are a total of four laser blasters. If you vaporize the entire squadron of drones, a new squadron will appear.
As you play, the drones will move faster and faster. The game will continue until all four laser blasters are disabled or a drone reaches the bot­tom of the arena.
When the game ends, the display will show the level of play that you reached and your final score. The display will then show the four highest scores recorded since the scores were reset. If desired, press and hold down the right button on either controller to reset the scores. Note: If your score is one of the four highest, the display will prompt you to enter a name consisting of three letters or digits. While the line below the first letter is flashing, press the up and down buttons on either controller to select the desired letter or digit. Next, press the right button on either con­troller and select another letter or digit. Repeat this process to select a third letter or digit. Then, press the right button on either controller again. The display will then show the four highest scores recorded since the scores were reset.
Follow your progress with the display.
While you exercise and play the Calorie Destroyer game, the upper left corner of the display will show the elapsed time. In addition, the display will show the game level that you have reached and your current score.
To pause the game, press the Display button. To resume the game, press the Display button repeatedly until the word DESTROYER appears at the top of the display, and then begin pedaling.
When you are finished exercising, the console will turn off automatically.

Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the exercise cycle regularly. The exercise cycle can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. To prevent damage to the console, keep liquids away from the console and keep the console out of direct sunlight.
TIGHTENING THE PEDALS
For best performance, regularly tighten both pedals.
CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING
If the console display becomes dim, the batteries should be replaced. See assembly step 6 on page 7 for replacement instructions. If the console does not display your heart rate when you use the handgrip pulse sensor, see step 5 on page 12.
HOW TO LEVEL THE EXERCISE CYCLE
If the exercise cycle does not sit flat on your floor, turn one or both of the level­ing feet until the exercise cycle is level.
HOW TO ADJUST THE BELT
If the pedals slip while you are pedaling, even while the resistance is adjusted to the highest setting, the belt may need to be adjusted. To adjust the belt, the pedals and side shields must first be removed. Using an adjustable wrench, turn the right pedal counter­clockwise and remove it. Then, turn the left pedal counterclockwise and remove it. Remove the screws from the right side shield, and then carefully remove the side shields.
Loosen, but do not remove, the three indicated screws (A). Insert the shaft of a screwdriver downward between the Pulley (22) and the idler (B). Pull the top of the screwdriver toward the rear of the exercise cycle until the Belt (28) is tight. Then, tighten the three screws.
Reattach the side shields, and then reattach the ped­als. To attach the pedals, turn the right pedal clock­wise and turn the left pedal counterclocKwise.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for successful results.
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.
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers above 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; and the highest number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Fat Burning
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 or 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. A proper warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in prepa­ration for exercise.
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 min­utes of exercising 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.)
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles 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. The key to success is make exercise a regu­lar and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
WARNING:
Before beginning this or any exercise pro­gram, consult your physician. This is espe­cially important for individuals over the age of 35 or individuals with pre-existing health problems.
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.
