MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLE-SHOOTING  
Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the recumbent  
cycle regularly. To clean the recumbent 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.  
remove the M4 x 16mm Screw (21). 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 pedal.  
TIGHTENING THE PEDALS  
HOW TO ADJUST THE BELT  
For best performance, the pedals must be kept prop-  
erly tightened. Regularly tighten both pedals.  
The recumbent cycle features a precision belt that  
must be kept properly adjusted. If the belt causes  
excessive noise or slips as you pedal, the belt should  
be checked. To do this, the side shields must first be  
removed. Refer to the instructions at the left and  
remove the left side shield. Remove the right side  
shield in the same way.  
BATTERY REPLACEMENT  
If the console does not function properly, the batteries  
should be replaced. Refer to assembly step 4 on  
page 5.  
HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH  
Press down on

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 (18).

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.  
Burning Fat  
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 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.  
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.  
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  
(see page 13) and light exercise. A proper warm-up  
increases your body temperature, heart rate, and cir-  
culation in preparation 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.)  
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age  
on 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.  
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching (see  
page 13). This will increase the flexibility of your mus-  
cles 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  
desired. Remember, the key to success is make exer-  
cise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday  
life.  
To measure your heart rate, first exercise for at least  
four minutes. Then, stop pedaling and measure your  
heart rate using the pulse sensor (see HOW TO USE  
THE PULSE SENSOR on page 10).
