Cleaning The Cycle
CAUTION:
Note:
The duration of your exercise session is dependent on your fitness level. In general,
it is recommended that you maintain your heart rate in the training zone for at least
10 minutes to realize an aerobic benefit. As your fitness level increases, you will be
able to maintain your hear rate in the training zone for longer periods: usually
between 20 and 30 minutes.
When first starting your workout, use the first several minutes to warm up, then
slowly increase your workload to bring your heart rate into your specific training zone.
At the end of your workout, gradually decrease your workload, then exercise lightly
as a "cool down".
Aerobic exercises, to achieve the greatest benefits, should be performed 3-5 times a
week. It is important to allow sufficient time, at least 24 hours, for your body to
recover after exercise.
This cycle requires little maintenance. The cycle's low friction operation is dependent
on keeping the unit as clean as possible. See "Cleaning the cycle" for more
information.
Turn off unit and disconnect AC cord before cleaning.
Regular cleaning is recommended to keep your cycle at peak performance.
Before your workout, use a dry cloth to clean the surface of the electronics package.
Never pour liquids on the electronics package. Should water, for some reason,
get on the electronics package, immediately blow dry the electronics package.
To clean the plastic parts, use a mild detergent and make sure the unit is completely
dry before operating.
It is recommended that you keep all liquids away from the unit during operation.
Spillage of liquids onto or into the machine will void the warranty.
Should you get any problems with your cycle, such as no tension while pedaling, the
display has no "RPM" reading while you are pedaling, please contact your dealer for
more details.
