17. There should be a clearance of no less than 24
inches (0.6 m) of free area on all sides of the
cycle. When cycles are positioned adjacent to
each other the free area may be shared.
18. Movements such as pedaling at high speeds
or pedaling while standing are considered
advanced techniques, and should only be
performed when the rider has reached an
advanced level.
19. Ensure that all adjustment handles that could
interfere with the user’s movement are not left
projecting as to come in contact with the rider
during operation.

M3i INDOOR GROUP CYCLE
LINE 1 - BACKLIGHT SENSOR
While the M3i series computer is awake, the backlight sensor automatically detects ambient light levels in the room and
turns on the backlight display when needed.
LINE 2 - RPM (CADENCE)
The RPM displays the cyclists revolutions per minute of the crank arm. RPM is also known in the cycling world as cadence
and is roughly the speed at which the cyclist is pedaling.
LINE 3 - POWER AND ENERGY
The power output is displayed in Watts (currently generating) and Kilocalories (total value for the workout). The computer
toggles back and forth between Watts for 8 seconds and Kilocalories for 2 seconds. The rated accuracy for power be-
tween 30 and 160 rpm is ±5 Watts for Power below 50 Watts, and ±10% for power above 50 Watts.
LINE 4 - HEART RATE
If there is no Heart Rate signal, a steady heart symbol and a zero will be displayed. If a participant is wearing a Heart Rate
strap, once the computer locks onto the signal, the heart symbol will blink and display the heart rate. Please note that the
Heart Rate strap must be Polar compatible and coded.
LINE 5 - ELAPSED TIME
The number shown reports the total time spent cycling and will reset to zero after 60 seconds of inactivity or if the com-
puter is reset using the gear shifter.
LINE 6 - GEAR
Gears from 1 to 24 are displayed on the bottom left hand of the screen.
LINE 7 - ODOMETER/TRIP DISTANCE
For the rst 8 seconds when the computer is activated, the odometer will display the total distance the cycle has been
ridden. This feature is for service and maintenance purposes only. After 8 seconds, the odometer will disappear, the trip
units will display “USA” for trip distance set to Miles, or “EURO” for trip distance set to Kilometers. As soon as the units
disappear, trip will display for the remainder of the workout. Note, to change the trip units, see instructions for setting bike
id and trip units to miles/kilometers.
AVERAGE CALCULATIONS
To view averages: RPM (Cadence), Power, and Heart Rate at any point in the workout, stop pedaling for three seconds.
This will ash your averages until you start pedaling again or until the computer goes to sleep after 60 seconds.
INTERVAL TRAINING
To initiate an interval, starting from a high gear drop the shifter handle to gear 1 for 1/4 of a second and lift it up to a higher
gear immediately. “inL #” will display conrming the interval has started.
Repeat the above steps to end the interval. When the interval ends the computer will display “inL End” and the averages
for that interval will blink. Note, the averages that show at the end of your ride when pedaling has stopped are inclusive of
all pedaling time and intervals that have taken place during the ride.
Bluetooth®smart ENABLED
The Bluetooth Smart enabled computer allows Bluetooth Smart Ready devices such as cellphones, tablets, and comput-
ers to gather information about the ride. M3i compatible apps allow data to be stored to track progress over time and
make the data available to other tness applications. Classrooms are able to utilize real time performance tracking pro-
grams which give the entire class an opportunity to see their performance compared with others in the class.
Note: For the first revolution of the pedal during startup, lines 2 and 3 will display “bid” and any number 0 to 150. If set up
correctly in a group cycle enviornment, bid (bike identification) represents an identifiable numerical value specific to each
individual cycle.

LEVELLER FOOT ADJUSTMENT
The leveller foot is located on the left rear corner of the
base frame. The leveller foot is adjusted by slightly lifting
the appropriate corner of the cycle and screwing the foot
clockwise or counterclockwise.
If the cycle requires levelling, rotate the foot inwards (or
counterclockwise from a topside view) until the cycle is
resting on the 3 xed feet. Next, with the cycle resting on
the 3 xed feet, rotate the leveller foot out (or clockwise
from a top view) until it just comes in contact with the oor.
Test the cycle for stability, ne tune adjust the leveller foot
as needed.
POSTURE AND BODY POSITION
Figure 26. Basic Posture
Keiser recommends that the back is always in a neutral position. To avoid injury, maintain good posture and control of
both the upper and lower body, refer to Figure 26.

M3i INDOOR GROUP CYCLE
1. Stand beside the cycle, close to and beside the seat of the cycle.
2. Position the seat so that the top of the seat is level with the crest of
the hip.
3. Sit on the seat with the balls of the feet over the center of the pedals.
4. Begin to pedal very slowly.
NOTE: When the foot is in the six o’clock position there should be a slight
bend in the knee. See Figure 27.
WARNING:
• Maximum weight of the rider shall not exceed 300 lbs (136 kg).
• If the hips rock back and forth with each pedal stroke, the seat position may be too high. Uneven
rocking from side to side may result in hip or back injuries.
• If a participant’s knees are bowed outward (beyond their normal ergonomic position), the seat may
be too low. If the knees are too exed, unwanted stress is placed on the knee caps. The knee should
never be in an overextended position.
WARNING: Seat height adjustment shall not
exceed the mark “STOP” indicating minimum
insertion depth for safe operation.

OPERATION OF THE CYCLE
Once the cycle has been properly assembled, levelled, and
adjusted test ride your cycle and make any ne tune adjust-
ments as needed. It is recommended that the cycle is ped-
aled in a forward rotation.
There are 2 primary cycling positions to be aware of:
1. The seated position, Figure 33, is best suited for warm
ups, training, and cool down. This is the best position
for beginners and all around workouts. All four grip con-
gurations as shown in gures 29 through 32 should be
achievable in the seated position.
2. For advanced users, the hill climb or standing position,
Figure 34, is best suited for advanced workouts. A rm
grip of the handlebars is required with great control to
prevent injury. In all situations, be sure to consult with
your instructor prior to attempting a maneuver that you
may not be comfortable with. A Keiser Foundations
trained instructor will be able to assist in all aspects of
cycle set up and riding technique.
