USING YOUR BIKE’S HRC PROGRAM
Use the chart on Page 16 to determine your Target Heart Rate, then follow the instructions on Page 15 to place the wireless transmitter on your chest.
Choose the Heart Rate Program by pressing the
♥ HR CONTROL
button.

When you are ready to begin exercising press START.
The Bike will take you through a 5 minute warm-up period and then it will begin to raise the resistance until your Heart Rate is within +/-5 Beats per Minute of the Target Heart Rate you entered. Then when you have 5 minutes left in your program the Bike will begin your cool-down period and lower the resistance.

ABOUT HEART RATE CONTROL
Your VISION FITNESS Bike offers two options for Heart Rate Control and Feedback; you may choose to use the convenient Hand Contact Bars or the hands-free Wireless Chest Transmitter (recommended for the Heart Rate Control Program).
TRANSMITTER STRAP PLACEMENT
Center the Transmitter Strap just below the breast or pectoral muscles, directly over your sternum with the VISION FITNESS logo facing out.
WIRELESS CHEST TRANSMITTER
Prior to wearing the Strap on your chest, moisten the two rubber contact strips with several drops of water and spread about with your fingers.
CONTACT BAR HAND POSITION
Place the palm of your hands directly on the Contact Pads. Both hands must grip the bars for your Heart Rate to register.
15

TARGET HEART RATE ZONE
Your Target Heart Rate Zone is a percentage of your maximum heart rate. Target Zone will vary for each individual, depending on age, current level of conditioning, and personal fitness goals. The American Heart Association recommends working-out at a Target Heart Rate Zone of between 60% and 75% of your maximum heart rate. See the chart below for convenient reference.
EXAMPLE for 42-year old user: find AGE along bottom of chart
(round to 40), follow AGE column up to TARGET ZONE bar. RESULTS: 60% of maximum Heart Rate = 108 Beats per Minute, 75% of maximum Heart Rate = 135 Beats per Minute. With this Target Zone of 108-135 Beats per Minute it is best to enter an average Target Heart Rate of about 122 Beats per Minute into the Console.
BENEFITS
• Weight Loss -- Helps you maintain an optimum exercise level to burn fat.
• Efficient -- Quantifies your exercise level for maximum benefit.
• Time Saver -- Makes the most of your limited workout time.
• Motivation -- Provides encouragement to achieve your fitness goals and reach for new heights.

TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR FITNESS BIKE
Our Bikes are designed to be reliable and easy to use. If, however, you have a problem, these troubleshooting steps may indicate the cause.
PROBLEM: The Console does not light up. SOLUTION: 1) Check to make sure the Bike is turned on (switch is located near power supply).
2) If you are using the Bike without a power supply, be sure you are pedaling fast enough to power the Console. If the problem persists, plug in the power supply, turn the Bike on and test to see if the Console powers up.
PROBLEM: The Bike is making a clicking noise. SOLUTION: Using the supplied 15
MM
wrench, remove both the right and left pedals, apply grease to the threaded portion of the pedals and reassemble the unit, making sure the pedals are as tight as possible.
PROBLEM: The Bike appears to work but there is no resistance change. SOLUTION: The magnetic brake assembly is not working properly; please contact your retailer.
PROBLEM: The Bike makes a squeaking or creaking noise. SOLUTION: Check and tighten all the bolts on the Bike again.
NOTE: If the above steps do not remedy the problem, discontinue use, turn the power off and contact your retailer.

TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR HEART RATE MONITOR CHEST STRAP
PROBLEM: No pulse reading appears SOLUTION: There may be a poor connection between the contact pads and skin. Remoisten the electrodes. SOLUTION: Transmitter is not properly positioned. Reposition the chest strap. SOLUTION: Verify that the distance between transmitter and receiver is not beyond the recommended range of 36 inches.
PROBLEM: There is an erratic pulse rate. SOLUTION: Chest strap is too loose; readjust according to directions.
NOTE: It is possible that heart rate monitors will not function prop­erly on some people due to a variety of reasons. It may be necessary to experiment with the fit and position of the chest strap. Outside interference sources such as computers, motors, etc. are also a major source of problems for heart rate monitors.

COMMON BIKE QUESTIONS
Q: Are the sounds my Bike makes normal? A: Our Bikes are some of the quietest available because they use belt drives and magnetic resistance. We use the highest grade European bearings and top quality belts to minimize noise. However, because the resistance system itself is so quiet, you will occasionally hear some slight mechanical noises from the drive train. Unlike older, louder technologies, there are no fans, friction belts, or alternator noises to mask these sounds on our Bikes. These mechanical noises, which may or may not be intermittent, are normal and are caused by the transfer of significant amounts of energy to a rapidly spinning flywheel. All bearings, belts and other rotating parts will generate some noise which will transmit through the casing and frame. It is also normal for these sounds to change slightly during a workout, and over time, because of thermal expansion of the parts. Keep in mind that while you work out you’re sometimes exerting the equivalent mechanical energy of a washing machine or dryer!
Q: Why is the Bike I had delivered louder than the one at the store? A: All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is generally more background noise than in your home. Also, there will be less reverberation on a carpeted concrete floor than on a wood overlay floor. Sometimes a heavy rubber mat will help reduce reverberation through the floor. And finally, if a fitness product is placed close to a wall, there will be more reflected noise.
Q: When should I be worried about a noise? A: As long as the sounds your Bike makes are no louder than a normal conversational tone of voice, it is considered normal noise. If your Bike is louder than this, you may want to call your service technician. Sometimes an initial diagnosis can be made over the phone.
19
upright & semi-recumbent
E3600HRC
R2600HRC
Q: What kind of routine maintenance is required? A: We use sealed bearings throughout our Bikes so lubrication is not needed. The most important maintenance step is to simply wipe your perspiration off the Bike after each use.
Q: Will the magnets wear out over time? A: No, we use permanent magnets that will retain their braking force indefinitely in this application. One of the big advantages of a magnetic brake is its long life since there is no physical contact between the flywheel and the magnet surface.
Q: How long will the drive belt last? A: The computer modeling we had done indicated virtually thousands of maintenance-free hours. These belts are now used in far more demanding applications such as motorcycle drives.
