HOW TO USE THE PROFORM
¨
L.E.X.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE L.E.X.
To mount the L.E.X., pin the handlebars in the station-
ary position, hold the handlebars, and step onto the
pedal that is in the lowest position
.
Next, step onto the
other pedal. Push the pedals until they begin to move
with a continuous motion.
Note: The crank can turn
in either direction; it is recommended that you
turn the crank in the direction shown below;
however, to give variety to your exercise, you may
choose to turn the crank in the opposite direction.
To dismount the L.E.X., allow the pedals to slowly
come to a stop.
CAUTION: The L.E.X. does not
have a freewheel; the pedals will continue to
move until the flywheel stops.
When the pedals are
stationary, step off the highest pedal first. Then, step
off the lowest pedal.
HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE OF THE
PEDALS
As you exercise,
you can adjust
the resistance of
the pedals with
the resistance
knob mounted
on the upright.
To increase the
resistance, turn
the knob clock-
wise; to
decrease the
resistance, turn
the knob counterclockwise.
HOW TO USE THE HANDLEBARS IN THE
STATIONARY POSITION
To focus on lower-body exercise, the handlebars can
be pinned in a stationary position. To do this, align the
holes in the handlebars with the hole in the handlebar
post. Next, insert the lock pin through the handlebars
and the handlebar post (see the drawing below).
Note: If it is difficult to insert the lock pin, twist the
handlebars slightly in order to align the holes;
do not
twist the handlebars too far or they may be dam-
aged
. Next, tighten the resistance knob.
HOW TO USE THE HANDLEBARS IN THE
DUAL-MOTION POSITION
To add upper-body exercise to your workout, remove
the lock pin from the handlebars and the handlebar
post (see the drawing above).
Keep the lock pin in a
safe place.
The resistance of the handlebars can be
adjusted with the resistance knob. To increase the
resistance, turn the knob clockwise; to decrease the
resistance, turn the knob counterclockwise.
To exercise, move the handlebars forward and back-
ward as you pedal. Be sure to keep your back straight
and your knees bent slightly.
