DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE 

The console offers a selection of features to help you
get more from your workouts. The water bottle holders
keep your water bottle handy during your workouts;
the book holder lets you read your favorite magazine
while you get in shape; the convenient resistance dial
allows you to easily change the resistance at any
time; and the unique training zone display and the two
LCD displays provide instant exercise feedback. 

BATTERY INSTALLATION

Before the console can be operated, two “AA” batteries
must be installed. See assembly step 5 on page 6 for
installation instructions.

HOW TO OPERATE THE CONSOLE

Note: If there is a thin sheet of clear plastic on the
face of the console, remove it.

1. To turn on the power, press the on/reset button or

simply begin exercising. When the power is turned
on, the displays and indicators will light for two sec-
onds. The console will then be ready for use.  

2. As you exercise, watch your progress with the train-

ing zone display and the LCD displays.

The training zone
display—As you
exercise, the train-
ing zone display will
show the approxi-
mate intensity level
of your exercise.
For example, if the fourth indicator in the display is
lit (refer to the drawing above), the display shows
that your intensity level is ideal for fat burning.

The left LCD dis-
play—As you exer-
cise, the left display
will show the
elapsed time and
the distance you
have traveled. The
display will change from one number to the other
every seven seconds. Arrows in the display will indi-
cate which number is currently shown. 

The right LCD dis-
play—As you exer-
cise, the right dis-
play will show the
approximate num-
bers of calories and
fat calories you
have burned (see BURNING FAT on page 12) and
your current speed. The display will change from
one number to the next every seven seconds.
Arrows in the display will indicate which number is
currently shown.

3. To reset the LCD displays, press the on/reset button

at any time.

4. To turn off the power, simply wait for about four

minutes. The console has an “auto-off” feature.
If the pedals are not moved and the console
button is not pressed for four minutes, the
power will turn off automatically in order to
conserve the batteries.

7. Align the two holes in the front of the Upright (2) with

the two welded bolts on the front of the Frame (1). 

Next, pivot the Upright (2) about halfway to a vertical
position. Refer to the inset drawing. As you raise
the Upright, look into the lower end and make sure
that the metal bracket on the Extension Cable (93)
does not get caught on the Upright or the Frame
(1). In addition, feed all slack Extension Wire (51)
and Reed Switch Wire (50) into the Upright.
Continue to raise the Upright until the four welded
bolts are inserted through the bracket at the bottom of
the Upright.  

Lift the front of the Incline Frame (5). Tighten an M10
Nylon Locknut (26) onto each welded bolt.
