Strap Tab Knob Hole Seat Levelling Feet 10 FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE The advanced console offers a selection of features designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and effective. When the manual mode of the console is selected, the resistance of the pedals can be changed with the touch of a button. As you pedal, the console will provide continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using the built-in hand- grip pulse sensor. In addition, the console features two pulse programs that change the resistance of the pedals and help you to maintain a steady pedaling pace to keep your heart rate near a target heart rate setting while you exercise. The console also offers two preset programs. Each program automatically changes the resistance of the pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease your pedaling pace as it guides you through an effective workout. To use the manual mode of the console, see the instructions at the right. To use a pulse program, see page 12. To use a preset program, see page 13. Before using the console, make sure that batteries are installed (see assembly step 5 on page 7). If there is a sheet of clear plastic on the display, remove the plastic. HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE Turn on the console. To turn on the console, press the Increase button or begin pedaling. The pace guide will light for a moment; the console will then be ready for use. Select the manual mode. When the power is turned on, the manual mode will be selected. If you have selected a program, reselect the manual mode by pressing the Program/Manual button repeatedly until no pro- gram indicators (see the drawing above) appear along the left side of the display. Change the resistance of the pedals as desired. As you pedal, change the resis- tance of the pedals by pressing the Increase and Decrease buttons. There are ten resis- tance levels. Note: After the buttons are pressed, it will take a moment for the pedals to reach the selected resistance level. 3 2 1 Fan Button Increase Button Program/Manual Button Program Indicator Display Pace Guide Decrease Button Program Profiles 11 Monitor your progress with the display. The upper half of the display will show the elapsed time, the distance you have pedaled, and the resistance level of the pedals. The display will change from one mode to the next every few seconds. The lower half of the display will show your pedal- ing speed and the approximate num- ber of calories you have burned. The display will change from one mode to the other every few seconds. The lower half of the display will also show your heart rate when you use the handgrip pulse sensor (see step 5). Note: When a program is selected (except for pulse program 1), the display will show the time remaining in the program instead of the elapsed time. Note: The console can display speed and dis- tance in either miles or kilometers. The letters “MPH” or “KM/H” will appear in the lower half of the display to show which unit of measurement is selected. To change the unit of measurement, first hold down the Program/Manual button for several seconds. An “E” (for English) or an “M” (for metric) will appear in the dis- play. Press the Increase button to change the unit of measure- ment. When the desired unit of measurement is selected, press the Program/Manual button again. Note: When the batteries are replaced, it may be necessary to reselect the desired unit of measure- ment. Measure your heart rate if desired. If there are sheets of clear plastic on the metal contacts on the handgrip pulse sensor, remove them. Next, hold the handgrip pulse sensor with your palms resting on the contacts. When your pulse is detected, the heart-shaped indicator in the lower half of the display will flash each time your heart beats, and your heart rate will be shown. For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue to hold the handgrip pulse sensor for about 30 seconds. Note: If you continue to hold the hand- grip pulse sensor, the display will show your heart rate for about 30 seconds. The display will then show your heart rate along with the other modes. If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that your hands are positioned as described. Avoid moving your hands excessively or squeezing the metal contacts too tightly. For optimal perfor- mance, periodically clean the metal contacts using a soft cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. Turn on the fan if desired. To turn on the fan at low speed, press the fan button. To turn on the fan at high speed, press the fan button a second time. To turn off the fan, press the fan button a third time. Note: If the fan is turned on but the pedals are not moved for thir- ty seconds, the fan will automatically turn off to conserve the batteries. Slide the thumb tab on the right side of the fan to adjust the angle of the fan. When you are finished exercising, the console will automatically turn off. If the pedals are not moved for a few seconds, the time will begin to flash and the console will pause. If the pedals are not moved for a few minutes, the console will turn off and the display will be reset. 7 6 5 4 Contacts Thumb Tab 12 HOW TO USE A PULSE PROGRAM Pulse program 1 is designed to keep your heart rate within a set range during your workout. Pulse program 2 is designed to keep your heart rate near a target heart rate setting that you select. Follow the steps below to use a pulse program. Turn on the console. See step 1 on page 8. Select a pulse program. To select pulse program 1 or 2, press the Program/Manual button repeatedly until the number 1 or 2 appears along the left side of the display. Enter a target heart rate. If pulse program 1 is selected, the maximum target heart rate setting for the program will flash in the display (see the drawing above). Press the Increase and Decrease buttons to change the setting, if desired (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 15). If the maximum target heart rate setting is increased or decreased, the intensity level of the entire program will increase or decrease. If pulse program 2 is selected, the target heart rate setting for the entire program will flash in the display. Press the Increase and Decrease buttons to change the setting, if desired (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 15). Hold the handgrip pulse sensor. It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sensor continuously during a pulse program; however, you must hold the handgrip pulse sen- sor frequently. Each time you hold the hand- grip pulse sensor, keep your hands on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds. Note: When you are not holding the handgrip pulse sensor, the letters “PLS” will appear in the display instead of your heart rate. Begin pedaling to start the program. Pulse program 1 is 30 minutes long, and is divided into several time periods of different lengths. One target heart rate is programmed for each period. Pulse program 2 is sixty minutes long (you may choose to use only part of the pro- gram). The same target heart rate is programmed for the entire program. During the program, the console will regularly compare your heart rate to the target heart rate setting. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate setting, the resistance of the pedals will automatically increase or decrease to being your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting. Note: If the resistance level is too high or too low, you can override it by pressing the Increase and Decrease buttons. However, when the console compares your heart rate to the tar- get heart rate setting, the resistance may auto- matically change. After the first minute of the program, the pace guide will help you to maintain a steady pedaling pace. When one of the two lower indicators lights, increase your pace; when one of the two upper indicators lights, decrease your pace. When the center indicator lights, maintain your current pace. Important: The pace guide is intended only to provide a goal. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you. The display will show the time remaining in pulse program 1, or the elapsed time in pulse program 2. If you stop pedaling for a few seconds, the program will pause and the time will flash in the display. To restart the program, simply resume pedaling. Monitor your progress with the display. See step 4 on page 11. 6 5 4 3 2 1 13 Turn on the fan if desired. See step 6 on page 11. When you are finished exercising, the console will automatically turn off. See step 7 on page 11. HOW TO USE A PRESET PROGRAM Preset programs 3 and 4 automatically change the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to increase or decrease your pedaling pace as they guide you through effective workouts. The profiles printed on the left side of the display show how the resistance level and the target pace will change during the preset programs. Follow the steps below to use a preset program. Turn on the console. See step 1 on page 8. Select a preset program. To select preset program 3 or 4, press the Program/Manual button repeatedly until the number 3 or 4 appears along the left side of the display. When a preset program is select- ed, the display will show how long the program will last. Begin pedaling to start the program. Each preset program consists of several time periods of different lengths. One resistance level and one target pace are programmed for each period. At the end of each period of the program, the resistance level will flash in the display for a few seconds. The resistance of the pedals will then automatically change to the resistance level that is programmed for the next period. Note: If the resistance level is too high or too low, you can override it by pressing the Increase and Decrease buttons. However, when the current period ends, the resistance level will automatical- ly change if a different resistance level is pro- grammed for the next period. During the program, the pace guide will prompt you to increase or decrease your pedaling pace. When one of the two lower indicators lights, increase your pace; when one of the two upper indicators lights, decrease your pace. When the center indicator lights, maintain your current pace. Important: The pace guide is intended only to provide a goal. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you. The display will show the time remaining in the program. If you stop pedaling for a few seconds, the program will pause and the time will flash in the display. To restart the program, simply resume pedaling. Monitor your progress with the display. See step 4 on page 11. Measure your heart rate if desired. See step 5 on page 11. Turn on the fan if desired. See step 6 on page 11. When you are finished exercising, the console will automatically turn off. See step 7 on page 11. 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 8 7 14 Inspect and tighten all parts of the exercise cycle reg- ularly. Replace any worn parts immediately. To clean the exercise cycle, use a damp cloth and a small amount of mild detergent. Important: To avoid damage to the console, keep liquids away from the console and keep the console out of direct sunlight. BATTERY REPLACEMENT If the console display becomes dim, the batteries should be replaced; most console problems are the result of low batteries. To replace the batteries, see assembly step 5 on page 7. 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 left side shield must be removed. Turn the Crank (21) to the position shown. Using an adjustable wrench, turn the Left Pedal (24) clockwise and remove it.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING 49 24 42 17 49 21 42 49 42 49 21 43 38 42 15 CONDITIONING 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 recom- mended 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; the highest num- ber is the recommended heart rate for aerobic exer- cise. Fat Burning To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative- ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener- gy. 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 num- ber in your training zone as you exercise. For maxi- mum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the middle number in your training zone as you exercise. Aerobic Exercise If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys- tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exer- cise 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 prepa- ration for exercise. Training zone exercise , consisting of 20 to 30 min- utes of exercising with your heart rate in your training zone. (During the first few weeks of your exercise pro- gram, 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 work- outs 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. Remember, the key to success is make exer- cise 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 persons over the age of 35 or persons 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 determin- ing heart rate trends in general. 16 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.
