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 calculated or measured by the machine’s computer for reference purposes only. The heart
rate displayed is an approximation and should be used for reference purposes only.
• 3 times a week for 20 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 heel of your foot to the lowest part
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, you need to move
the seat downward. If your leg is bent too much, you need to move the seat
upward.
Step off the machine before you adjust the seat.
3. Loosen and pull the Seat Post Adjustment Knob on the Seat Post. Adjust the seat
to the desired height.
Do not lift the Seat post above the “STOP” mark on the Seat Post.
4. Release the Seat Post Adjustment Knob to engage the locking pin. Be sure that
the pin is fully engaged and fully tighten the adjustment knob.
5. To move the seat closer to, or away from the console, loosen the seat adjustment knob. Slide the seat to the desired
position and fully tighten the knob.
Note: If the handle cannot turn due to contact with another part, pull the handle, turn and push it back in to reposition it.
Continue turning as needed.
Foot Position / Pedal Strap Adjustment
Foot pedals with straps provide secure footing to the exercise bike.
1. Put the ball of each foot in the Foot Restraint on the Pedals.
2. Fasten the strap over the shoe.
3. 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.
