Function of the Workload Shift Lever  
The workload shift lever will decrease or increase the  
3
pedal resistance. The lever position is graphically displayed  
along with the pedal resistance display on the screen. The  
work rate of your exercise will be calculated from the position  
of the workload shift lever and the pedal cadence.  
Upper pulse limit Alarm  
In order to make your exercise safe, Cateye Ergociser  
7
EC-8000 is designed to set the upper pulse limit and to issue  
the warning beep when the rate exceeds the limit.  
The upper pulse limit can be automatically set by setting your  
age. The rate is calculated by subtracting your age from 200.  
WARNING: When the warning beep has been issued, imme-  
diately stop your exercise, or set the pedal resis-  
tance to a lighter level and pace down your exer-  
cise until the beep stops.

ing during the setting procedure on the display screen.  
2. The display "AGE" will be changed to "PLL" (upper pulse  
limit).  
3. Use "+" and "–" buttons to change the setting.  
WARNING: The upper pulse limit will be automatically set by  
calculating "200 – your age." Changing the rate  
to increase the number is very dangerous. Never  
try to do this unless you are very experienced and  
in excellent physical condition.  
Replacing the batteries  
When the batteries are weak, the battery alarm mark  
will be displayed. When this mark has been displayed, replace  
the batteries immediately.  
Alkaline batteries are recommended due to their longer service

For your effective exercise  
For shaping and toning up  
1
For the purpose of shaping up by using the ergocisers, it is  
important to perform the exercise for a long time at a rather  
easy work intensity, to burn the calories obtained from meals  
or snacks. Set the pedal resistance at an easy level so that  
your pulse rate would not rise too high, and continue the ses-  
sion for a certain length of time, watching TV, listening to mu-  
sic or reading magazines as you like. It is essential to do the  
exercise on a regular basis, ideally every day.  
Exercise Program  
The ideal exercise will be such that  
you start to sweat after 10 minutes'  
exercise.  
One exercise should be continued  
for 30 minutes or longer. If you  
continue exercising every day, you  
can expect good results.

For the prevention of aging  
For rehabilitation exercise  
2
3
Aging of the human body starts when the functioning of heart  
and lungs begin to deteriorate. This functioning can be evalu-  
ated by using a value of Maximum Oxygen Uptake *1 (MOU),  
which in general will become lower after 20 years of age. The  
more you lack proper exercise, the faster it decreases. Contin-  
ued aerobic exercises by using Cateye Ergociser EC-8000 can  
enhance the functioning to prevent aging.  
Riding your Ergociser EC-8000 will provide more effective ex-  
ercise than taking walk without giving stress to leg muscles.  
Exercise Program  
No heavy resistance nor speed of pedal is necessary in this  
case. Just relax and spin the pedal.  
Pedal your Ergociser EC-8000 for the same period of time as  
taking a walk.  
Exercise Program  
If you are physically confident, it will be a good choice to chal-  
lenge the exercise as stated in the section 2 Prevention of  
Aging.  
If you are using Ergociser for your rehabilitation, it will be ideal  
to do it under the direction of your doctor. Present this manual  
to your doctor for his or her advice.  
Aerobic exercise will be more efficient and important when it is  
continued at a certain heart rate which is basically determined  
based on your gender, age and physical strength. This is called  
"Target Heart rate" (TPL). TPL can be obtained from the Tar-  
get Heart rate Chart. If you are a male, you can refer to the  
upper limit line, and if you are a female, you can refer to the  
lower limit line on the chart.  
Age of 30 or below------ Exercise level: about 70%  
Age of 40s ---------------- Exercise level: about 70-60%  
Age of 50s ---------------- Exercise level: about 60-50%  
Age of 60 or over-------- Exercise level: about 50%  
*
If the exercise thus set according to the above is difficult for  
you, set TPL lower by 10%, and gradually increase the set-  
ting as you get accustomed to the exercise level.  
To maintain the heart rate, use the workload shift lever to ad-  
just the pedal resistance, and also adjust the pedal cadence.  
A minimum of 15 minutes exercise is necessary for each ses-  
sion of exercise.  
A minimum exercise of three times a week will bring you a  
slight improvement from your present physical fitness level.  
Exercise of four times or more a week will bring you more ef-  
fective improvement.  
About MOU*1  
MOU implies your ability to take oxygen into your body, and  
it can be an index for your physical endurance. Actually, it  
presents the maximum amount of oxygen taken into your
