Once your Recumbent Bike is assembled, make sure that your workout space has a solid, level surface with
plenty of space around it. We recommend placing a mat under your unit to protect your flooring.

Correct Workout Position 

When exercising, keep your back straight and your head in a neutral position to minimize neck and upper
back strain. When pedaling do not lock out your knees, at the bottom of the pedaling motion there should
be a slight bend in the knee. Always try to pedal the bike with a smooth and rhythmic motion.

COMPUTER TIPS AND TROUBLE SHOOTING

If you have any problems with your Computer: First
check this manual to be sure you have followed the
assembly instructions correctly.

Computer Installation:

Follow Step 9 on page 10 of the Owner's Manual

Follow Step 6 on page 9 of this Manual  

(Make sure all wire connectors are firmly attached and "click" into place).

If the Computer is powered by batteries and: 

The Computer does not illuminate at all

• Reconnect the (10) wire connector at the base of the Computer and

the (5) wire connector inside the Computer Tube.

• Reinstall the batteries using instructions on page 10, step 9.

Upon start-up the Computer's LCD display illuminates faintly

• Install new batteries. Although the batteries are new when they are

shipped from the factory, over time they will slowly discharge.

The Computer displays “E 1"

• Make sure the (5) wire connector inside the Computer Tube 

is securely fastened.

If the Computer is powered by the AC Adapter and:

The Computer does not illuminate at all
• 

Reconnect the (10) wire connector at the base of the Computer 
and the (5) wire connector inside the Computer Tube.

The Computer displays “E 1"

• Make sure the (5) wire connector inside the Computer Tube is 

securely fastened.

NOTE:

If the AC Adapter receptacle is plugged into the Computer, but 

the adapter is not plugged into an AC wall outlet (or has been removed)

from the AC wall outlet, the Computer will not display. To reset the
Computer, the AC Adapter must be plugged into the AC wall outlet.

If the Computer is powered by Batteries or 
AC Adapter and:

The Computer is illuminated but does not display Speed or Distance

• Reconnect the (10) wire connector at the base of the Computer and

the the (2) wire connector inside the Computer Tube.

The Computer is illuminated but does not display a pulse reading

• You must press the START button on the Computer, and have both

hands placed firmly on the Pulse Sensors on the Rear Handlebar for 
the 

Computer to detect and display your pulse.

NOTE: 

Depending on what program you have set the Computer to, after

pressing the START button, it will take the Computer approximately 6 -11
seconds before it will display your pulse reading. If you take one hand off
of the Pulse Sensor, the Computer will stop displaying your pulse.

NOTE

: Keeping your Pulse Sensors clean will provide better conductivity

between

your hands, and the Pulse Sensor.

To insure a more accurate pulse reading, both hands must grab the Pulse
Sensors on the Rear Handlebar continuously for approximately 6 seconds.
