(marked with an "R"). With the side of the PEDAL STRAP marked with an “R” fac-
ing upward, slide the slotted end of the PEDAL STRAP through the left slot in the
PEDAL. Fasten one of the slots onto the tab located under the left slot of the
PEDAL. Bend the PEDAL STRAP upward and slide the remaining end of the
PEDAL STRAP through the right slot in the PEDAL and into the strap adjustment
clip. The PEDAL STRAP should securely engage the strap adjustment clip.
Install the RIGHT PEDAL (JJ) to the USER RIGHT CRANK ARM (LL).
Repeat for the LEFT PEDAL (marked with an "L") and PEDAL STRAP (marked
with an "L").
Note: The LEFT PEDAL has reverse threads.
Note: Pedals need to be securely tightened or clicking may occur.
3.9 R1 WATER BOTTLE HOLDER & BRACKET
Parts: Hardware Bag #4 (2, 12mm Phillips Screws)

4INITIAL SETUP
Read the entire User Manual before setting up the Lifecycle exercise bike.
WHERE TO PLACE THE EXERCISE BIKE
Following all safety instructions in Section 1 move the bike to the location in which it will be used. See Section 7,
Specifications, for the dimensions of the footprint. Allow a distance of 4 feet (120 centimeters) between the bike and
other objects or surfaces on either side.
HOW TO STABILIZE THE EXERCISE BIKE
After placing the bike in position, check the unit's stability by attempting to rock it
in all directions. Any slight rocking indicates that the unit must be leveled.
Determine which foot is not resting completely on the floor. Loosen the jam nut
with an open-end 17mm wrench, and rotate the stabilizing foot to lower it. Verify
that the bike is stable, and repeat the adjustment as necessary until the unit no
longer rocks. Lock the adjustment by tightening the jam nut against the stabilizer
bar.
HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT TO ENSURE CORRECT BIOMECHANICAL POSITIONING
Proper seat positioning minimizes unnecessary leg muscle fatigue. To determine whether or not the seat requires adjust-
ment, sit on it and place the balls of the feet on the pedals. The knee should bend slightly when the pedal is at the furthest
point in its rotation, relative to the body. The user should be able to pedal without locking the knees or shifting in the seat.
Adjusting the seat: Lift the spring-loaded adjusting handle (A) located on the right side of the seat. Slide the seat for-
ward or backward as necessary to the proper position and release the pin to complete engagement. Gently rock the seat
forward and backward to ensure that it is locked into place. Check the seat distance again and readjust it if necessary.
Note: If the seat carriage rocks excessively, use a wrench to loosen the jam nut (A) on either side of the seat carriage.
With another wrench, tighten the adjustment roller on the inside of the carriage until it is snug, but do not overtighten it.
Then, while holding the roller in place, tighten the lock nut. Repeat the procedure for the other side of the seat carriage.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to adjust the seat while pedaling the bike. Doing so, or failing to insert the seat pin complete-
ly, may result in an uncomfortable workout or cause injury.

HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDAL STRAPS
The bike pedal safety straps keep the user's shoes on the pedals during a
workout. The straps should fit comfortably, but they also should be tight
enough to prevent shoes from slipping at any point in the pedaling rotation.
Before working out, the user should test and adjust the tightness of the
straps.
The straps can be adjusted to fit a variety of shoe sizes. Each strap is held
in place by a spring-loaded clip that is connected to the outer edge of each
pedal. To tighten a strap, simply pull the loose end of the strap down. It auto-
matically locks into place with each pull. To loosen a strap, press down on
the top of the clip and pull the strap up. Release the clip to lock the strap
into place. Test the adjustment, and change if necessary.
HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT BACK (R3 ONLY)
The R3 has an adjustable seat back so you can choose the most comfortable back angle for your workout. To adjust the
seat back, pull the lever (A) towards the rear of the bike. While pulling the lever, lean backwards or forwards. Once you
reach a comfortable position, release the lever and the seat back will lock in place.
STARTING UP THE BIKE
See Section 7, Specifications, for power requirements. Insert the AC adapter into an electrical outlet that has been prop-
erly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Insert the power adapter jack into the barrel plug on the bottom of the exercise bike. Then insert the power supply into
the wall outlet. Make sure the cord is routed so that it doesn't bind and will not be walked on.
Check that the console lights up. If not, recheck the plug and wall connections and make sure the wall outlet has power.
Once the unit’s power is on, the console display lights up, making it possible to select a workout. When using a self-pow-
ered unit, start pedaling to light up the console.
Note: For customers outside the United States, please use your country specific transformer to power the unit.
Note: The R3 can be self-powered if using a Go Console. The PAUSE time is limited to 30 seconds. Workout data will
be cleared after 30 seconds of inactivity. Extend the PAUSE time by plugging the power supply in to the Go Console.

5MAIN FEATURES
5.1 ACCESSORIES
Two accessory trays (A) are mounted to the right of the seat on the R3 to provide storage for items such as water bot-
tles, personal stereos, and cell phones. A Water Bottle Holder (B) is located on the monocolumn of the R1. Additionally,
an integrated Reading Rack (C) for supporting a book or magazine is located at the base of the console.
5.2 CONTACT HEART RATE
The hand pulse sensors (D) are a built-in heart rate monitoring system on the stationary handlebar. During a workout grasp
the hand pulse sensors to monitor your heart rate. We recommend using the heart rate chest strap provided with your con-
sole during workouts and using the hand pulse sensors to only occasionally monitor your heart rate when not using the
chest strap. In addition, to utilize heart rate controlled workouts the chest strap must be used. For the most accurate read-
ing, use a comfortable grip. The console will show a heart rate reading after 15 to 20 seconds.
Hand pulse sensors can work differently with different body types. With some individuals it can be very difficult to extract a
heart rate reading. Follow the below tips to improve the heart rate reading.
·Remove your hands from the heart rate sensors and wait for the heart rate display to clear. Grasp sensors again.
·Make sure hands are fully contacting the sensors.
·Dry hands periodically during use.
·Limit movement.
·Clean hand pulse sensors.
Note: The heart rate hand pulse sensors provide an approximate heart rate value. The sensors are not medical devices
and should not be used in any type of medical application.
