IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to
ensure that all users of the exercise bike are
adequately informed of all precautions.
2. Before beginning any exercise program,
consult your physician. This is especially
important for persons over age 35 or per-
sons with pre-existing health problems.
3. Use the exercise bike only as described in this
manual.
4. The exercise bike is intended for home use
only. Do not use the exercise bike in a com-
mercial, rental, or institutional setting.
5. Keep the exercise bike indoors, away from
moisture and dust. Do not put the exercise
bike in a garage or covered patio, or near
water.
6. Place the exercise bike on a level surface
with at least 2 ft. (0.6 m) of clearance around
the exercise bike. To protect the floor or
carpet from damage, place a mat under the
exercise bike.
7. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-
larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
8. Keep children under age 12 and pets away
from the exercise bike at all times.
9. Wear appropriate clothes while exercising;
do not wear loose clothes that could become
caught on the exercise bike. Always wear
athletic shoes for foot protection.
10. The exercise bike should not be used by
persons weighing more than 250 lbs.
(113 kg).
11. Be careful when mounting and dismounting
the exercise bike.
12. Always keep your back straight while using
the exercise bike; do not arch your back.
13. The heart rate monitor is not a medical
device. Various factors, including the user’s
movement, may affect the accuracy of heart
rate readings. The heart rate monitor is
intended only as an exercise aid in determin-
ing heart rate trends in general.
14. When connecting the link arms to the pedals,
make sure that the link arms are fully seated
on the crank arm spacers (see HANDLEBAR
OPERATION on page 12). If the link arms
are not on the crank arm spacers, they may
slip off during use, resulting in injury to the
user.
15. When adjusting the height of the seat, make
sure that the pin on the seat knob is inserted
into one of the adjustment holes in the seat
post (see HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT on
page 12). Do not rest the seat post on top
of the pin on the seat knob.
16. The exercise bike does not have a free
wheel; the pedals will continue to move until
the flywheel stops. Reduce your pedaling
speed in a controlled way.
17. Over exercising may result in serious injury
or death. If you feel faint or if you experience
pain while exercising, stop immediately and
cool down.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and
instructions in this manual and all warnings on your exercise bike before using your exercise bike.
