setting for the current segment. Important: The
pace settings are intended only to provide
motivation. Your actual pace may be slower
than the current pace setting. Make sure to
exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, both the Current Segment
column and the column to the right will flash, a
series of tones will sound, and all pace settings
will move one column to the left. The pace setting
for the second segment will then be shown in the
flashing Current Segment column and the resis-
tance of the exercise cycle will automatically

Each program is divided into several time seg-
ments of different lengths. One pace setting and
one resistance setting are programmed for each
segment. (The same pace setting and/or resis-
tance setting may be programmed for two or more
consecutive segments.)
Note: If all of the indicators in the Current Segment
column are lit after the pace settings have moved
to the left, the pace settings will move downward
so only the highest indicators appear in the matrix.
The program will continue until the pace setting
for the last segment is shown in the Current
Segment column and no time remains in the pro-
gram.

Each heart rate program helps you to keep your heart
rate near a certain percentage of your maximum heart
rate during your workout. (Your maximum heart rate is
estimated by subtracting your age from 220. For
example, if you are 30 years old, your maximum heart
rate is 190.) Heart rate program 1 is designed to keep
your heart rate between 50% and 80% of your maxi-
mum heart rate while you exercise; heart rate pro-
gram 2 is designed to keep your heart rate between
50% and 85% of your maximum heart rate.
Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 11.
Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 11.
When the program is finished, the console
will automatically turn off.

To use a heart rate program, you must use the
handgrip pulse sensor (see step 5 on page 11) or
the optional chest pulse sensor. If you use the
handgrip pulse sensor, it is not necessary to hold
the handgrips continuously during the program.
However, you should hold the handgrips fre-
quently for the program to operate properly. Each
time you hold the handgrips, keep your hands
on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds.
Note: When you are not holding the handgrips,

indicators is flashing (see drawing a), increase
your pace. If an indicator to the left of any lit indi-
cator is flashing (see drawing b), decrease your
pace. When no indicator is flashing, your heart
rate is near the current heart rate setting.
Important: The heart rate settings are intend-
ed only to provide motivation. Your actual
heart rate may be slower than the current
heart rate setting. Make sure to exercise at a
pace that is comfortable for you.
Press the Program Start button or begin
pedaling to start the program.
Each heart rate program consists of 20 one-

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the exercise
cycle regularly. To clean the exercise cycle, use a
soft, damp cloth. 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.

Next, turn the indicated M8 Nylon Locknut (63) until
the Drive Belt (47) is properly tightened. Then, reat-
tach the side shields.

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.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WARNING:
• Before beginning this or any exercise pro-
gram, consult your physician. 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.
