OPERATIONS
What to Wear
Wear rubber-soled athletic shoes. You will need the appropriate clothes for exercise that allow you to move freely.
How Often Should You Exercise
Consult a physician before you start an exercise program. Stop exercising if you feel pain or tightness in your chest,
become short of breath, or feel faint. Contact your doctor before you use the machine again. Use the values calcu-
lated or measured by the machine’s computer for reference purposes only. The heart rate displayed on the console
is an approximation and should be used for reference only.
• 3 times a week for 30 minutes each day.
• Schedule workouts in advance and try to follow the schedule.
Seat Adjustment
Correct seat placement encourages exercise efficiency and comfort, while reducing the risk of
injury.
1. With a Pedal in the forward position, place the ball of your foot over the center of it. Your leg
should be bent slightly at the knee.
2. If your leg is too straight or your foot cannot touch the Pedal, move the seat forward. If your
leg is bent too much, move the seat toward the back.
Step off the bike before you adjust the seat.
3.
Push down on the Seat Adjustment Handle, and adjust the seat to the desired height.
4.
Pull up the Seat Adjustment Handle to engage the locking mechanism. Be sure that the
handle is fully engaged.
Foot Position / Pedal Strap Adjustment
Foot pedals with straps provide secure footing to the exercise bike.
1. Rotate the Pedals until one can be reached.
2. Put the ball of each foot on the Pedals.
3. Fasten the strap over the shoe.
4. Repeat for the other foot.
Be sure toes and knees point directly forward to ensure maximum Pedal efficiency. Pedal straps
can be left in position for subsequent workouts.
Power-Up / Idle Mode
The Console will enter Power-Up / Idle Mode if it is plugged into a power source, any button is pushed, or if it receives a
signal from the RPM sensor as a result of pedaling the machine.
Auto Shut-Off (Sleep Mode)
If the Console does not receive any input in approximately 5 minutes, it will automatically shut off. The LCD display is off
while in Sleep Mode.
Note:
The Console does not have an On/Off switch.
