CORRECT BODY POSITION

The Recumbent Cycle F 530 is designed to
comfortably distribute your weight evenly over
your buttocks and lumbar region of your lower
back. Your legs are also positioned closer to the
level of your heart, allowing a less strenuous and
more efcient cardiovascular workout. To ensure
proper positioning please follow the recommended
guidelines:

FEET FIG.4

Insert a foot coupler into each side of rear frame
cross tube. Secure each with a 4x15 screw. Push feet
onto couplers.

PEDAL DISTANCE

The lenght of the seat rail should be adjusted
so that your knee remains slightly bent (not
completely straight) when your leg is extended to
the furthest pedaling point forward. To adjust the
distance between the seat and the pedals: lift the

MAIN BEAM TUBE FIG. 5

ADJUSTING PEDALLING RESISTANCE

Adjust resistance by turning the knob below the
meter. To increase resistance, turn clockwise (+),
to decrease resistance turn counterclockwise (-).

E X E R C I S I N G

Working out using a recumbent cycle is excellent
aerobic exercise, the principle being that the
exercise should be suitably light, but of long
duration. Aerobic exercise is based on improving
the body’s maximum oxygen uptake, which in turn
improves endurance and tness. The ability of the
body to burn fat as a fuel is directly dependent
on its oxygen-uptake capacity. Exercise of long
duration within a pulse range that is about 50-60
% of the maximum pulse burns effectively fat, i.e
helps you lose weight. Exercise in a range that is
about 70-80 % of the maximum develops the heart
and respiratory system, and overall endurance, i.e.
it improves your condition. If you don’t know your
own maximum pulse rate you can use the following
formulae as a guideline:

WOME N: 226 - AGE, M EN: 2 20 – AGE

However, it is advisable to make sure by consulting
your doctor. For example, to lose weight, a
50-year-old man should exercise at a resistance and
pedalling speed that raise his pulse to about 85-105
beats/min.

It is important to monitor your heart rate
throughout the exercise session. Many people begin
an exercise program too zealously and discontinue
because it becomes too difcult. Aerobic exercise
should above all be pleasant. You should perspire,
but you should not get out of breath during the
workout. You must, for example, be able to speak
and not just pant while pedalling. You should
exercise at least three times a week, 30 minutes at
a time, to reach a basic tness level. Maintaining
this level requires a few exercise sessions each week.
Once the basic condition has been reached, it is
easily improved, simply by increasing the number
of exercise sessions. Exercise is always rewarding for
weight loss, because it is the only way of increasing
the energy spent by the body. This is why it is
always worthwhile to combine regular exercise with
a healthy diet. A dieter should exercise daily ­at rst 30 minutes or less at a time, gradually
increasing the daily workout time to one hour.
You should start slowly at a low pedalling speed
and low resistance, because for an overweight
person strenuous exercise may subject the heart
and circulatory system to excessive strain. As tness
improves, resistance and pedalling speed can be
increased gradually.

M E T E R

The user friendly meter of the F 530 recumbent
cycles measures time, speed, pulse, estimated
energy consumption, and distance. The meter
switches on automatically when you rst press a
key or start pedalling, and switches off when you
have not pedalled or pressed any key for about 4
min.

NOTE! Protect the meter from direct sunlight,

as it may damage the liquid crystal display. Do
not expose the meter to water or severe impacts, as
these may also damage the meter.

METER DISPLAYS AND FUNCTIONS

TIME

Displays the elapsed time of the exercise session
(00:00-99:59).

SPEE D

Displays the current speed in MPH (GB/USA­version) or in km/h (0-99).

PULS E

Displays the pulse value during exercise (40-220
bpm). NOTE! Pulse is measured by sensors in
the handle bars. Pulse is measured when the user
of F530 is touching both sensors simultaneously.
Reliable pulse measurement requires that the skin
is constantly touching the sensors and that the skin
is slightly moist.

CALO RIES

Displays an estimate of kilocalories consumed
(0-999.9). This is an approximate calculation
determined by the number of crank rotations.

DISTANCE

Displays the distance traveled in miles (GB/USA­version) or in kilometers (0-999.9).

METER KEYS

RESE T

Press this key to set all data to zero.

MODE / SCAN

The automatic SC A N-function is always activated
in the TI ME display: each function is displayed
consecutively. Deactivate SCA N by pressing the

MODE / SC AN key.

M A I N T E N A N C E

The Recumbent Cycle F 530 requires very little
maintenance. We recommend, however, that you
make sure all the fastening screws are tight after
approximately one week of use. Turn the cycle on
its side and tighten the screws, if necessary. From
time to time check that the screws and nuts are
tight. Clean the cycle with a damp cloth. Do not
use solvents.

Please contact your dealer immediately if you
notice any defects or malfunctions while using your
equipment. Please state the nature of the problem,

5

conditions of use, purchase date and serial number
of your equipment. In spite of continuous quality
control, individual defects and malfunctions may
occur due to individual components. It is in most
cases unnecessary to take the whole cycle for repair,
as it is usually sufcient to replace the defective
part.

CHANGING BATTERIES

If the meter display fades considerably or
completely, change the batteries. Pull the meter out
and remove the old batteries from the holder at the
back of the meter. Push the new batteries into the
holder (2 x 1.5 V AA) and push the meter back
into its place at the top of the handlebar support
tube.

T R A N S P O R T A N D S T O R A G E

Move the recumbent cycle according to the
following instruction: stand behind the cycle, grip
the seat back with one hand and the handlebar
with the other. Lift the cycle so that it rests on
the transport wheels and move it by wheeling.
Lower the cycle onto the oor while holding on
to the seat back and the handlebar and remaining
all the time behind the device. NOTE! Follow
the transportation instructions because lifting the
recumbent cycle incorrectly may strain your back
or cause other risk of accidents.

To prevent malfunctioning of the cycle, store
in a dry place with as little temperature variation as
possible, protected against dust.
