FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE  
2. Select one of the modes:  
The easy-to-use console features five modes that pro-  
vide instant exercise feedback during your workouts.  
The modes are described below.  
Scan mode—  
Mode Indicators  
When the power  
is turned on, the  
scan mode will be  
selected automati-  
cally. A mode indi-  
cator will appear  
below the word  
“SCAN” to show  
that the scan  
mode is selected,  
and a second  
mode indicator will show which mode is currently  
displayed. Note: If you have selected a different  
mode, repeatedly press the Mode button to rese-  
lect the scan mode.  
Speed, time, dis-  
tance, or calorie  
mode—To select  
one of these  
modes for continu-  
ous display,  
repeatedly press  
the Mode button.  
The mode indica-  
tors will show  
which mode is selected. Make sure there is not a  
mode indicator below the word “SCAN.”  
Speed—This mode displays your pedaling speed, in  
miles per hour or kilometers per hour.  
Time—This mode displays the elapsed time. Note: If  
you stop pedaling for a few seconds, the time mode  
will pause.  
Note: The console can display speed and dis-  
tance in either miles or kilometers. To change  
the unit of measurement, press the On/Reset  
button for about five seconds. The letters mph or  
km/h will appear in the display to show which unit of  
measurement is selected. When the batteries are  
replaced, it may be necessary to reselect the  
desired unit of measurement.  
Distance—This mode displays the distance you have  
pedaled, in miles or kilometers.  
Calorie—This mode displays the approximate number  
of calories you have burned.  
Scan—This mode displays the speed, time, distance,  
and calorie modes, for a few seconds each, in a  
repeating cycle.  
3. To reset the display at any time, press the  
On/Reset button.  
HOW TO OPERATE THE CONSOLE  
4. To turn off the power, simply wait for a few minutes.  
The console has an “auto-off” feature. If the  
pedals are not moved and the console buttons  
are not pressed for a few minutes, the power  
will turn off automatically to save the batteries.  
Make sure there are batteries in the console (see  
BATTERY REPLACEMENT on page 10). If there is a  
thin sheet of clear plastic on the console, remove it.  
Follow the steps below to operate the console.  
1. To turn on the power, press the On/Reset button or  
begin pedaling. The entire display will briefly  
appear; the console will then be ready for use.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING  
Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the exercise  
cycle regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.  
Next, turn the resistance knob to the lowest setting  
(see HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDALING RESIS-  
TANCE on page 8).  
To clean the exercise cycle, use a damp cloth and a  
small amount of mild detergent. Important: To avoid  
damage to the console, keep liquids away from  
the console and keep the console out of direct  
sunlight.  
Open the Strap Clamp (3) and pull the end of the  
Resistance Strap (11) downward slightly to increase  
resistance. Close the Strap Clamp and turn the  
Flywheel (37) to make sure there is not too much  
resistance.  
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, refer  
to assembly step 8 on page 7 and remove the con-  
sole from the handlebar. Next, insert three batteries  
into the console. Reattach the console to the handle-  
bar, being careful not to pinch the console wire.

HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE STRAP  
3
If the resistance knob is turned to the highest setting  
and there is not enough resistance, the resistance  
strap may need to be adjusted. To adjust the resis-  
tance strap, you must first remove the left side shield.  
37  
Using an adjustable wrench, turn the Left Pedal (24)  
clockwise and remove it. Next, remove the five M4 x  
25mm Screws (41) and the M4 x 16mm Screw (49)  
from the Left Side Shield (17). Carefully remove the  
Left Side Shield.  
When the resistance strap is properly adjusted, re-  
attach the left side shield and the left pedal.

HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH  
If the console does not display correct feedback, the  
reed switch should be adjusted. In order to adjust the  
reed switch, the left side shield must be removed (see  
HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE STRAP on  
page 10).  
With the left side shield removed, locate the Reed  
Switch (43). Turn the Crank (21) until the Magnet (38)  
is aligned with the Reed Switch. Loosen, but do not  
remove, the M4 x 16mm Screw (49). Slide the Reed  
Switch slightly closer to or away from the Magnet.  
Retighten the Screw. Turn the Crank for a moment.  
Repeat until the console displays correct feedback.  
When the Reed Switch is correctly adjusted, reattach  
the left side shield and the left pedal.

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.  
ber in your training zone as you exercise. For maxi-  
mum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your exercise  
until your heart rate is near the middle number in your  
training zone as you exercise.  
Aerobic 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.  
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.  
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE  
To measure your  
heart rate, first  
exercise for at least  
four minutes. Then,  
stop exercising and  
place two fingers  
on your wrist as  
shown. Take a six-  
second heartbeat  
count, and multiply the result by 10 to find your heart  
rate. For example, if your six-second heartbeat count  
is 14, your heart rate is 140 beats per minute. (A six-  
second count is used because your heart rate will  
drop rapidly when you stop exercising.)  
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age  
at the bottom line 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 recom-  
mended heart rate for maximum fat burning; the high-  
est number is the recommended heart rate for 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.  
Fat Burning  
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 burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative-  
ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.  
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-  
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.
