(The   resistance settings   are not shown in the matrix.) The pace settings   for the next several segments will be shown in the   columns to the right.   Note: During the program, you can override the   resistance setting for the current segment, if   desired, with the Resistance buttons. However,   when the next segment begins, the resistance will   automatically change if a different resistance set-   ting is programmed for the next segment. If you   stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone will   sound and the program will pause. To restart the   program, simply resume pedaling.   As you exercise, the Training Zone bar will help   you to keep your pedaling pace near the pace   setting for the current segment.

To prevent damage to the console,   keep liquids away from the console and keep the con-   sole out of direct sunlight.   Turn the right crank arm for a moment. Repeat until   the console displays correct feedback. When the reed   switch is correctly adjusted, reattach the right side   shield, the seat post knob, and the right pedal.   HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT   HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH   If you can feel the pedals slip while you are pedaling,   even when the resistance is adjusted to the highest   level, the Drive Belt (47) may need to be adjusted. To   adjust the Drive Belt, you must first remove both side   shields. See HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH   at the left and remove the side shields.   If the console does not display correct feedback, the   reed switch should be adjusted. To adjust the reed   switch, the Right Side Shield (27) must be removed.   Using an adjustable wrench, turn the Right Pedal (21)   counterclockwise and remove it. Remove the Seat   Post Knob (20). Next, remove the M4 x 25mm Screws   (65). Turn the Right Crank Arm (24) so that it is point-   ing toward the front of the exercise cycle and then   slide off the Right Side Shield.   20   47   65   63   27   24   Next, turn the indicated M8 Nylon Locknut (63) until   the Drive Belt (47) is properly tightened. Then, reat-   tach the side shields.   21   65   PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING   • Avoid moving your hands while using the pulse sen-   sor. Excessive movement may interfere with heart   rate readings. Do not hold the metal contacts too   tightly; doing so may interfere with heart rate read-   ings.   Next, locate the Reed Switch (46). Turn the Right   Crank Arm (24) until the Magnet (30) is aligned with   the Reed Switch. Loosen, but do not remove, the indi-   cated Screw (57). Slide the Reed Switch slightly clos-   er to or away from the Magnet. Then, retighten the   Screw.   • For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the   metal contacts for about 15 seconds.   • For optimal performance of the pulse sensor, keep   the metal contacts clean. The contacts can be   cleaned with a soft cloth—never use alcohol,   abrasives, or chemicals.   24   46   57   30   20   Download from Www.Somanuals.com.

This is espe-   cially important for individuals over the   age of 35 or individuals withpre-existing   health problems.   Fat Burning   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-   ber or the middle number in 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 deter-   mining heart rate trends in general.   Aerobic Exercise   If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-   tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise   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.   The following guidelines will help you to plan your   exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition and   adequate rest are essential for successful results.   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 burn-   ing, 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. (During the first few weeks of your exercise pro-   gram, do not keep your heart rate in your training   zone for longer than 20 minutes.)   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.   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 heart rate for aerobic exercise.   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   desired. The key to success is make exercise a regu-   lar and enjoyable part of your everyday life.   21   Download from Www.Somanuals.com.
