ASSEMBLY
To hire an authorized service technician to assemble the exercise cycle, call toll-free 1-800-445-2480.
Assembly requires two persons. Place all parts of the exercise cycle in a cleared area and remove the pack-
ing materials. Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. In addition to the included
hex keys, assembly requires a phillips screwdriver
and an adjustable wrench
.
As you assemble the exercise cycle, use the drawings below to identify small parts. The number in parentheses
below each drawing is the key number of the part, from the PART LIST on page 14. The number following the
parentheses is the quantity needed for assembly. Note: Some small parts may have been pre-assembled. If a
part is not in the parts bag, check to see if it has been pre-assembled.

HOW TO OPERATE THE EXERCISE CYCLE
The advanced console offers a selection of features
HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE
designed to make your workouts more effective.
During each workout, the resistance of the pedals can
be changed with the touch of a button. As you exer-

back—you can even measure your heart rate using
the built-in handgrip pulse sensor.
Turn on the console.

To turn on the console, press any button.
Select the manual mode.
The console also features five preset workout pro-
grams and a heart rate program. Each program auto-
matically changes the resistance of the pedals as it
guides you through an effective workout.

console will display a heart symbol when you use
the handgrip pulse sensor and it detects your
pulse.
When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off.
If the pedals are not moved and the console but-
tons are not pressed for a few minutes, the con-

(or no goals). For example, if you want to set only
a time goal and a distance goal, select the num-

To select a work-

first make sure
that the word Stop is shown in the display. If it is
not shown, press the Program Start/Stop button
so the word Stop appears. Then, press the Up or
Down button repeatedly until the word Program
and the desired resistance profile appear in the
display.
At the end of each period, the resistance of the
pedals will automatically change if a different
resistance setting is programmed for the next
period. Note: If the resistance level is too high or
too low, you can change the resistance level by
pressing the Up or Down button. However, when
the current period ends, the resistance level will
automatically change if a different resistance set-
ting is programmed for the next period.
The resistance profiles across the bottom of the
display show how the resistance level will change
during the workout programs. For example, the
third profile shows that when the third program is
selected, the resistance will gradually increase
during the first half of the program and then
decrease during the last half.
Note: During the program, the console will display
the time remaining in the program if you have set
a time goal. If you have not set a time goal, the
time will count up in the same way that it does
when the manual mode is selected.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the exercise
cycle regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
HOW TO ELIMINATE FLEXING IN THE CENTER OF
THE EXERCISE CYCLE
To clean the exercise cycle, use a damp cloth and a
small amount of liquid dishwashing soap. Important:
To avoid damage to the console, keep liquids
away from the console and keep the console out
of direct sunlight.
If the exercise cycle flexes in the center during use,
turn the frame foot until the flexing motion is eliminated.
HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
If the handgrip pulse sensor does not function properly,
see step 5 on page 9.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the console display becomes dim, the batteries
should be replaced; most console problems are the
result of low batteries. To replace the batteries, see
assembly step 6 on page 6.

HOW TO LEVEL THE EXERCISE CYCLE

use, turn one or
both of the level-
ing caps on the
rear stabilizer until

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
The following guidelines will help you to plan your
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition
and adequate rest are essential for successful results.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener-
gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does
your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy.
If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest num-
ber in your training zone as you exercise.
WARNING:
Before beginning
this or any exercise program, consult your
physician. This is especially important for
persons over the age of 35 or persons with
pre-existing health problems.
For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the middle of
your training zone as you exercise.
The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is
intended only as an exercise aid in determin-
ing heart rate trends in general.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-
tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exer-
cise is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen
for prolonged periods of time. This increases the
demand on the heart to pump blood to the muscles,
and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until
your heart rate is near the highest number in your
training zone.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.
The proper intensity level can be found by using your
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom-
mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat
burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your
body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in prepa-
ration for exercise.
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 min-
utes of exercising with your heart rate in your training
zone. Note: During the first few weeks of your exer-
cise program, do not keep your heart rate in your
training zone for longer than 20 minutes.
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the
nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers above
your age. The three numbers are your “training zone.”
The lowest number is the recommended heart rate for
fat burning, the middle number is the recommended
heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest
number is the recommended heart rate for aerobic
exercise.
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This
will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will
help to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three work-
outs each week, with at least one day of rest between
workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you
may complete up to five workouts each week, if
Fat Burning
desired. Remember, the key to success is make exer-
cise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative-
ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
