HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

A temporary
adapter may
be used to
connect the
power cord
to a 2-pole
receptacle
as shown
at the right
if a properly
grounded
outlet is not
available.

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of
electric shock. The power cord has a plug with a
grounding pin.

DANGER: Improper connection of
the power cord increases the risk of electric
shock. Do not modify the plug—if it will not fit
an outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician. If you are unsure whether
the product is properly grounded, contact a
qualified electrician.

2-pole Receptacle
Adapter

Lug
Metal Screw

The lug or wire extending from the adapter must
be connected with a metal screw to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box covers are not
grounded. Before using an adapter, contact a qualified electrician to determine whether the outlet
box cover is grounded before using an adapter.
The temporary adapter should be used only until
a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician.

Plug the
power cord
Grounded Outlet
into an
appropriate
Grounding Pin
outlet that
is properly
installed and
grounded in
accordance
with all local
codes and
ordinances.
The outlet must be on a nominal 120-volt circuit.

installation; debris resulting from any destruction activities in the product’s environment; rust or corrosion as a
result of the product’s location; alterations or modifications without written authorization; or failure on your
part to use, operate, and maintain the product as set
forth in this manual will void the warranty.
All terms of the warranty are void if this product is moved beyond the continental borders of
the United States of America (excluding Alaska,
Hawaii, and Canada) and are then subject to the
terms provided by that country’s local authorized

Due to the size and weight of the exercise bike,
moving it requires two persons. Remove the rear
frame cover. Stand in front of the exercise bike, hold
the upright, and place one foot against one of the
wheels. Pull on the upright and have a second person
lift the rear of the frame until the exercise bike will roll
on the front wheels. Carefully move the exercise bike
to the desired location, and then lower it to the floor.

If the exercise
bike rocks slightly
on your floor
during use, turn
one or both of
the leveling feet
beneath the rear
stabilizer until the
rocking motion is
eliminated.

HOW TO CONNECT A CATV CABLE

A satellite receiver, VCR, or DVD player can also be
connected to the exercise bike. Connect a CATV cable
from the coaxial output on your equipment (usually
labeled TV OUT or RF OUT) to the cable jack on the
front of the exercise bike.

If your exercise bike has the 17" Digital TV, a CATV
cable must be connected to the exercise bike for cable
TV stations to be viewed.
Locate the cable jack on the front of the exercise bike.
Connect the CATV cable to the TV Cable (20). Route
the cable so that it will not be pinched or crushed by
the exercise bike.

Note: Audio/video equipment without coaxial outputs
(some satellite receivers and DVD players) will require
an RF modulator to work correctly. RF modulators are
not available from FreeMotion Fitness, but are available at electronics stores. See the user’s manual for
the equipment you wish to connect to determine if an
RF modulator is needed, or contact your local audio/
video service provider.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of
time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your
body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. 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 number in your training
zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your
heart rate near the middle number in your training
zone.

WARNING:

Before beginning this
or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons
over age 35 or persons with pre-existing
health problems.
The heart rate monitor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The heart rate monitor is
intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.

Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic
exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts
of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your
heart rate is near the highest number in your training
zone.

These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise
program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a
reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,
proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for
successful results.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body
temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation
for exercise.

Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper intensity is the key to achieving results. You can use your
heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level.
The chart below shows recommended heart rates for
fat burning and aerobic exercise.

Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During
the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not
keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer
than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you
exercise; never hold your breath.
Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles
and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY

To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the
bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). The three numbers listed above your
age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is
the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the
heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.

To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts 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 to make
exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday
life.
