HOW TO OPERATE THE RECUMBENT CYCLE

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The easy-to-use console offers a manual mode and
three personal trainer programs that pace your exer-
cise for effective workouts. You can choose a stamina-
building interval program, an aerobic program, or a
special fat-burning program. To adjust the intensity of
your exercise, you can change the pedal resistance at
any time with a touch of a button. As you exercise,
you can watch your progress on the console display.
The display features six different modes:

Speed—When an arrow appears above the word
SPEED, the console will display your pedaling speed.

Time—When an arrow appears above the word TIME,
the console will display the elapsed time. Note: When
a pace program is selected, the console will display
the 

time remaining in the program. 

Distance—When an arrow appears above the word
DISTANCE, the console will display the distance you
have pedaled. 

Fat Calories—When an arrow appears below the
words FAT CALS, the console will display the approxi-
mate number of 

fat calories you have burned (see

BURNING FAT on page 13). 

Calories—When an arrow appears below the word
CALORIES, the console will display the approximate
number of calories you have burned. 

Scan—When an arrow appears below the word
SCAN, the console will display all of the information
above in a repeating cycle.

Pulse—When you use the pulse sensor, the console
will display your heart rate. (See step 6 on page 10.)

HOW THE PACE PROGRAMS OPERATE

When you use a
pace program, two
columns of bars will
appear in the dis-
play. The left col-
umn represents a
target pace and the
right column shows
your actual pedal-
ing pace. The target pace will change periodically dur-
ing the program; as the target pace changes, simply
adjust your pedaling pace to keep both columns at the
same height. Important: The target pace is a 

goal

pace. Your actual pace may be slower than the tar-
get pace, especially during the first few months of
your exercise program. Be sure to exercise at a
pace that is comfortable for you.

The three graphs
on the console
show how the 
target pace will
change during the
programs. For
example, during the
aerobic program (program 2), the graph shows that the
target pace will gradually increase during the first half
of the program, and then gradually decrease during
the last half. Each program will last for twenty minutes.

STEP-BY-STEP CONSOLE OPERATION 

The innovative recumbent cycle requires no 
batteries or external power source. 
Instead, power
is supplied by a generator as you pedal. Note: To
operate the resistance buttons, you must pedal at a
pace of about 30 revolutions per minute (rpm) or
faster.   

Begin pedaling

To activate the console, simply begin pedaling.
After a few seconds, the entire display will
appear for two seconds; the console will then be
ready for use.
