HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT

For effective

exercise, the

Seat (11) should

be at the proper

height. As you

pedal, there

should be a

slight bend in

your knees

when the pedals

are in the lowest

position. To

adjust the Seat,

first hold the

Seat and

remove the Seat

Pin (35). Align one of the holes in the Seat Post (10)

with the hole in the Frame (1). Insert the Seat Pin into

the Frame and the Seat Post. Caution: Make sure to

insert the Seat Pin through one of the holes in the

Seat Post; do not insert the Seat Pin under the

Seat Post.

HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDALING RESISTANCE

To vary the

intensity of your

exercise, the

pedaling resis-

tance can be

adjusted. The

resistance is

controlled with

the Resistance

Knob (25). To

increase the

resistance, turn

the Resistance Knob clockwise; to decrease the resis-

tance, turn the Resistance Knob counterclockwise.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

Before the console can be operated, two “"AA"” bat-

teries must be installed. If you have not installed bat-

teries, see assembly step 4 on page 5.

DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE

The console features five modes that provide instant

exercise feedback during your workouts. The modes

are described below.

• Speed—Displays your pedaling speed, in miles per

hour.

• Time—Displays the elapsed time. Note: If you stop

pedaling for ten seconds or longer, the time mode

will pause until you resume.

• Distance—Displays the total distance you have ped-

aled, in miles.

• Calorie—Displays the approximate number of calo-

ries you have burned.

• Scan—Displays the speed, time, distance, and calo-

rie modes, for 5 seconds each, in a repeating cycle.

HOW TO OPERATE THE CONSOLE

1. To turn on the power, press the on/reset button or

simply begin pedaling. When the power is turned

on, the entire display will appear for two seconds.

The console will then be ready for operation.

2. Select one of the five modes:

Scan mode—

When the power

is turned on, the

scan mode will

automatically be

selected. One

mode indicator

will show that

the scan mode is selected, and a flashing mode

indicator will show which mode is currently dis-

played. Note: If a different mode is selected, you

can select the scan mode again by repeatedly

pressing the mode button.

Speed, time, distance or calorie mode—To select

one of these modes for continuous display, press

the mode but-

ton repeatedly.

The mode indi-

cators will show

which mode is

selected. Make

sure that the

scan mode is

not selected.

3. To reset the display, press the on/reset button.

4. To turn off the power, simply wait for about four min-

utes. Note: The console has an “auto-off” fea-

ture. If the pedals are not moved and the con-

sole buttons are not pressed for four minutes,

the power will turn off automatically in order to

conserve the batteries.

Inspect and tighten all parts of the exercise cycle reg-

ularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

The exercise cycle can be cleaned with a soft, damp

cloth. Avoid spilling liquid on the console. Keep the

console out of direct sunlight or the display may be

damaged. Remove the batteries when storing the

exercise cycle.

HOW TO TIGHTEN THE CRANK

If the arms of the Crank (20) become loose, they

should be tightened in order to prevent excessive

wear. Loosen the crank nut on the left arm of the

Crank. Place the end of a

standard screwdriver in

one of the slots in the

slotted crank nut. Lightly

tap the screwdriver with a

hammer to turn the slot-

ted crank nut counter-

clockwise until the arms

are no longer loose. Do

not overtighten the slot-

ted crank nut. When the

slotted crank nut is properly tightened, retighten the

crank nut.

NOTE: Your console displays speed in either miles per hour (mph) or revolutions per minute (rpm). If the

displayed speed has a decimal point, your console displays speed in miles per hour; if the displayed speed does

not have a decimal point, your console displays speed in revolutions per minute. Use the chart below to convert

one unit of measurement to the other, if desired.

If your console displays speed in miles per hour, it displays distance in miles. If your console displays speed in

revolutions per minute, it displays distance in total revolutions (revs). Use the chart below to convert one unit of

measurement to the other, if desired.

HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH

If the console does not display correct feedback, the

reed switch should be adjusted. In order to adjust the

reed switch, the Left Side Shield (12) must be remov-

ed. Remove the four Side Shield Screws (15) from the

Right Side Shield (13) and the three M4 x 16mm

Tapping Screws (30) from the bottom of the Left Side

Shield. Carefully slide the Left Side Shield forward off

the arm of the Crank (20) and remove it.

Next, locate the

Reed Switch (33).

Turn the crank until

the Magnet (46) is

aligned with the

Reed Switch.

Loosen but do not

remove the M4 x

16mm Screw (30).

Slide the Reed

Switch slightly clos-

er 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.

HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE STRAP

If there is not enough pedaling resistance when the

resistance knob is turned to the highest setting, the

Resistance Strap (17) may need to be adjusted.

To adjust the Resistance Strap, first turn the resis-

tance knob

to the low-

est setting.

Next, locate

and open

the Strap

Buckle (18)

on the

underside

of the side

shields.

Grip the

end of the Resistance Strap (17) and pull it back

slightly to remove any slack. While holding the end of

the Resistance Strap, fully close the Strap Buckle.

Turn the crank for a moment to make sure that there

is not too much resistance.

HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT

The exercise cycle features a drive 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 on this page and

remove the left side shield. Next, remove the right

side shield the same way.

Press down on

the center of the

Drive Belt (23)

between the front

and rear pulleys.

There should be

from 1/4” to 1/2”

of movement in

the center of the

Belt.

If the drive belt is

properly adjust-

ed, reattach the

side shields. If

the Belt needs to

be adjusted,

loosen the Axle

Nut (29) on each

side of the fly-

wheel. To tighten

the Belt, turn the

Adjustment Nuts

(27) clockwise; to loosen the Belt, turn the Adjustment

Nuts counterclockwise. Make sure that the Flywheel is

straight and tighten the Axle Nuts (29). Reattach the

side shields.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

If the console does not function properly, the batteries

should be replaced. See assembly step 4 on page 5.

In addition, make sure that the console wire is con-

nected to the reed switch wire.

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.

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.

To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age

on 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 heart

rate for maximum fat burning; the highest number is

the heart rate for aerobic exercise.

Burning Fat

To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a rela-

tively 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 maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your

exercise until your heart rate is near the middle num-

ber in your training zone as you exercise.

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.

HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE

To measure your

heart rate, first exer-

cise for at least four

minutes. Then, stop

exercising and place

two fingers on your

wrist as shown. Take

a six-second heart-

beat count, and mul-

tiply the result by 10

to find your heart

rate. For example, if your six-second heartbeat count

is 14, your heart rate is 140 beats per minute. (A six-

second count is used because your heart rate will

drop rapidly when you stop exercising.)

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Each workout should include the following three parts:

A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-

ing and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases

your body temperature, heart rate, and circulation 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.)

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.

WARNING: Before beginning this

or any exercise program, consult your physi-

cian. This is especially important for persons

over the age of 35 or persons with pre-exist-

ing health problems.

PART LIST—Model No. 831.288222 R0400A

Note: “#” refers to a non-illustrated part. Specifications are subject to change without notice. See the back cover

of this manual for information about ordering replacement parts.

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. Caution: Be sure to progress at your own

pace and avoid overdoing it. Incorrect or excessive

training may result in injury to your health.

Remember, the key to success is make exercise a

regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
