WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and
instructions in this manual and all warnings on your exercise bike before using your exercise bike.

use of this product.
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the exercise bike are ade-
quately informed of all precautions.

consult your physician. This is especially
important for persons over age 35 or per-
sons with pre-existing health problems.
3. The exercise bike is not intended for use by

mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they are given supervi-
sion or instruction about use of the exercise
bike by someone responsible for their safety.
4. Use the exercise bike only as described in
this manual.
5. The exercise bike is intended for home use
only. Do not use the exercise bike in a com-
mercial, rental, or institutional setting.
6. Keep the exercise bike indoors, away from
moisture and dust. Do not put the exercise
bike in a garage or covered patio, or near
water.
7. Place the exercise bike on a level surface,
with a mat beneath it to protect the floor or
carpet. Make sure that there is at least 2 ft.
(0.6 m) of clearance around the exercise bike.
8. Inspect and properly tighten all parts each
time the exercise bike is used. Replace any
worn parts immediately.
9. Keep children under age 13 and pets away

racy of heart rate readings. The heart rate

15. The exercise bike does not have a freewheel;
the pedals will continue to move until the
