When you select a preset program, thedisplay will show how long the program will last. 3 Begin pedaling to start the program. Each preset programs consists of 30 one-minutesegments. One resistance level and one targetpace are programmed for each segment. At the end of each segment, the resistance levelwill flash in the display for a few seconds. Theresistance of the pedals will then automaticallychange to the resistance level programmed forthe next segment. Note: If the resistance level istoo low or too high, you can override it by pressing the Increase and Decrease buttons. However, when the current segment ends, the resistancewill automatically change to the resistance levelprogrammed for the next segment. During the program, the pace guide will promptyou to keep your pedaling pace near the targetpace programmed for the current segment. When one of the two lower indicators lights, increaseyour pace; when one of the two upper indicatorslights, decrease your pace. When the center indicator lights, maintain your current pace. Important: The pace guide is intended only toprovide a goal. Make sure to pedal at a pacethat is comfortable for you. 7 6 5 4 The display will show the time remaining in theprogram. If you stop pedaling for a few seconds, the program will pause and the time will flash inthe display. To restart the program, simply resumepedaling. Follow your progress with the display. See step 4 on page 10. Measure your heart rate if desired. See step 5 on page 10. Turn on the fan if desired. See step 6 on page 10. When you are finished exercising, the consolewill turn off automatically. See step 7 on page 10. 11 12 Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the exercise cycle regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately. To clean the exercise cycle, use a damp cloth and a small amount of liquid dish soap. Important: To avoid damaging 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 6 on page 6. 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, you must first remove the Left Side Shield (9). Using an adjustable wrench, turn the Left Pedal (24) clockwise and remove it. Next, remove the seven M4 x 16mm Screws (57) and the M4 x 25mm Screw (45). Then, carefully remove the Left Side Shield. With the left side shield removed, locate the Reed Switch (43). Turn the Crank (31) until the Magnet (38) is aligned with the Reed Switch. Next, loosen, but do not remove, the indicated M4 x 16mm Screw (57). Slide the Reed Switch slightly closer to or away from the Magnet, and then retighten the Screw. Turn the Crank for a moment. Repeat until the console displays correct feedback. When the Reed Switch is correctly adjusted, reattach the left side shield and the left pedal. HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING If the handgrip pulse sensor does not function properly, see step 5 on page 10.

Remember that proper nutritionand adequate rest are essential for successful results. - . - To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your ageat the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to thenearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers aboveyour age. The three numbers are your “training zone.” The lowest number is the recommended heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the recommendedheart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highestnumber is the recommended 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 bodyuses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise doesyour body begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of yourexercise until your heart rate is near the lowest number in your training zone as you exercise. For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of yourexercise until your heart rate is near the middle ofyour 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 oxygenfor prolonged periods of time. This increases thedemand on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobicexercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise untilyour heart rate is near the highest number in yourtraining zone.
