1.2 SETUP
Read the entire Operation Manual before setting up the Lifecycle exercise bike.
WHERE TO PLACE THE LIFECYCLE EXERCISE BIKE
Following all safety instructions in Section 1.1, move the bike to the location in which it will be used. See Section 7, titled
Specifications, for the dimensions of the footprint. Allow a distance of 16 inches, or 41 centimeters, between the widest
part of the bike and other objects on either side. Allow a distance of 3 feet, or 1 meter, between the front or rear of the bike
to any other objects.
HOW TO STABILIZE THE LIFECYCLE EXERCISE BIKE
After placing the bike in position, check the unit’s stability by attempting to rock it from side to side. Any slight rocking indi-
cates that the unit must be leveled. Determine which foot is not resting completely on the floor. Loosen the jam nut (A)
with an open-end 9/16-inch wrench, and rotate the stabilizing foot (B) 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 sta-
bilizer bar.
HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT
A properly adjusted seat is extremely important in any bike-oriented exercise activity and the Lifecycle Exercise Bike is no
exception. If the seat is too close, excessive strain will be placed on the knees and quadriceps muscles; if the seat is too
far, the resulting reaching action will irritate the feet, ankles, hips and knees.
Sit on the seat and place the balls of the feet on the pedals. An optimum position will allow movement through the bottom
of the stroke without locking the knees or shifting in the seat. The knees should have a slight bend at the point of fullest
leg extension.
If the seat needs to be adjusted, lift the spring-loaded adjusting handle
located on the right, front side of the seat. Slide the seat forward or
backward as necessary to the proper position and release the pin to
complete engagement. Gently slide the seat forward and backward a
small distance to ensure it is locked into place. Check the seat distance
again and re-adjust it if necessary.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to adjust the seat while pedaling
the bike. Doing so, or failing to insert the seat pin completely
may result in an uncomfortable workout or cause injury.
MISE EN GARDE : Ne pas essayer d'ajuster la selle pen-
dant le pédalage. Tout ajustage en cours de fonctionnement
ou toute insertion incomplète de la goupille de la selle pour-
rait nuire à l'exercice ou entraîner des blessures.

HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDAL STRAPS
The bike pedal 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, a user should
test and adjust the tightness of the straps.
The safety straps on the foot pedals can be adjusted to fit a variety of shoe sizes. The straps are held in place by two
knobs that extend from either side of each pedal. The “inner” knob extends sideways, that is, toward the bike. The “outer”
knob extends downward. The ends of each strap are perforated with slots that fit tightly over the knobs. The “inner” end of
each strap is perforated with two slots, and the “outer” segment of the strap is perforated with a row of slots.
To tighten or loosen a strap, grasp the outer end, and pull it back, away from the knob, until the strap slides off. Pull the
strap out through the outer loop on the pedal. Rest the foot on the pedal, and wrap the strap over the foot to determine the
desired length. Thread the strap through the outer loop on the pedal, tuck it under the pedal, select the appropriate slot,
and pull that slot down over the knob, until the top of the knob pops through the slot. A click indicates that the strap is
locked into place.
STARTING UP THE BIKE CONSOLE
When a user begins pedaling on the Lifecycle exercise bike, the unit’s Auto-Start feature powers up the console, causing the
console display to light up and the MESSAGE CENTER to flash a prompt: “SELECT WORKOUT OR PRESS QUICK
START.” If the user does not make a selection in 20 seconds, the console automatically starts a MANUAL workout. For infor-
mation on setting up a workout, see Section 4.2, titled Using the Workouts. If the user stops pedaling for more than 15 sec-
onds, the console shuts down. Alternately, the user may press the START key to power up the console.
USING THE POWER ASSIST OPTION
The Lifecycle exercise bike’s optional Power Assist feature makes it possible for the console to be powered by an external
electrical source, eliminating the need to pedal at a minimum speed to supply constant power to the console. With this op-
tion, users who wish to ride the bike for rehabilitative exercise may pedal at a rate below the minimum without losing con-
sole power.
Enabling the Power Assist option requires a an optional kit. To order the kit, contact Life Fitness Customer Support Serv-
ices. See page one for contact information.
The power connector is located in front of the rear stabilizer bar, in the shroud opening, on the underside of the bike.

A
FITNESS AND ENTERTAINMENT NETWORKING
Two interchangeable network ports allow the Lifecycle exercise bike to be connected to a fitness entertainment system or
a network, such as FitLinxx®interactive fitness network.
•Fitness network: The network connection enables the console to upload user workout statistics to a fitness net-
work database or to download remotely stored information, such a pre-set workout program. See Section 4.2, ti-
tled Using the Workouts, for information on logging onto a network.
•Entertainment: The network connection enables the console to power a third-party receiver for use with a service
such as the Cardio Theater®entertainment system or the BroadcastVisionTM entertainment system.
These ports (A) are located on the back of the bike console and are enclosed by a removable cover. See figure below.
Any use of the ports for other than their intended purpose could void the product warranty.

2.2 CONSOLE OVERLAY DESCRIPTIONS
A. WORKOUT PROFILE window: This window displays shapes, made of columns of lights, that represent the levels of
intensity in a workout-in-progress. The height of the first column on the left side of the window is proportional to the
current level of intensity.
During a FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, or EXTREME HEART RATE work-
out, which requires the use of a Polar®telemetry heart rate chest strap or the Lifepulse system sensors, the WORK-
OUT PROFILE window displays a flashing heart shape to request the user’s heart rate signal. If the console does not
detect a signal, the MESSAGE CENTER displays the prompt “NEED HEART RATE - PLACE HANDS ON SENSORS
OR USE TELEMETRY STRAP". If the console does not receive the signal within three minutes, the workout automati-
cally is converted to a MANUAL program.
B. MESSAGE CENTER: This window displays step-by-step instructions for setting up a workout. During a workout, it dis-
plays statistics about the progress of the workout:
•Heart Rate: the detected heart rate if the user is wearing the chest strap or grasping the Lifepulse system sen-
sors.
•Distance: the total distance traveled in miles (or kilometers if enabled).
•RPM (Revolutions per Minute): the pedaling speed or rate.
•Calories: the number of calories burned since beginning the workout.
If configured to do so, the MESSAGE CENTER displays other values each time the intensity level changes during the
workout:
•Calories per Hour: the rate of calories burned per hour.
OR
•Watts: effort level in Watts. The Watt is a unit of power output or the expression of the mechanical rate of work.
•METs: effort level in METs. The MET is an expression of the rate of work for the human body at rest, or a meta-
bolic equivalent; one MET is approximately equal to the metabolism of a person at rest.
C. NUMERIC keypad: Use these keys to enter values, such as length of workout, weight, age, target heart rate, and in-
tensity level. While a workout is in progress, numeric keys can be used to set new intensity levels or change the target
heart rate in the FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, and EXTREME HEART
RATE workouts. The ARROW keys have a similar function, except that they change workout parameters by single in-
crements.
D. BIKE MODE: Press this key to activate the Bike workout mode in which the rate of calories burned and the total dis-
tance travelled increase automatically as the user increases the pedaling speed.
E. CONSTANT CAL./HOUR: Press this key to activate this alternate workout mode, which enables a user to maintain a
consistent rate of calories burned per hour.
F. ENTER PIN key: Log on to the FitLinxx Interactive Fitness Network using a dedicated PIN Number. A FitLinxx Interac-
tive Fitness Network shall be supported through the CSAFE console port connector as a CSAFE Compatible Device.
G. ENTER WEIGHT key: Press this key to enter a user weight during a workout. Use the ARROW keys or the
NUMERIC keypad to enter a weight value.
H. CLEAR key: Press this key, when programming a workout, to clear incorrect data, such as weight or age, before
pressing the ENTER key. Pressing CLEAR during a workout stops it immediately, at which point, the MESSAGE CEN-
TER displays a summary of the workout, including total time elapsed, total distance traveled, and total calories
burned. Pressing CLEAR a second time causes the MESSAGE CENTER to prompt the user for a new workout setup.
I. QUICK START key: Press this key to begin a manual workout immediately, without having to select a workout pro-
gram. Once the workout is in progress, use the ARROW keys or the NUMERIC KEYPAD to change the intensity level
or workout duration as desired.
J. WORKOUT SELECTION keys: Press any of these keys to select the program identified on the given key’s label.
These programs include: FAT BURN, CARDIO, RANDOM, MANUAL, ZONE TRAINING +, PERSONAL TRAINER,
and HILL PLUS.
K. HEADPHONE JACK: Headphones must be plugged into the Bike to access the sound for the iPod, TV, or
audio compatible entertainment device. The jack is not a user-replaceable feature. Contact Life Fitness Customer
Support Services for more information.

L. ARROW keys: A pair of UP and DOWN arrows is located on either side of the TIME/LEVEL window. When setting up
a workout, use either set of arrows to change workout parameters displayed on the console, such as length of work-
out, weight, age, target heart rate, and intensity level. During a workout, pressing the ARROWS on the right (LEVEL)
side of the display changes the target heart rate for FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE IN-
TERVAL, and EXTREME HEART RATE workouts or the intensity level for other workouts.
Pressing the ARROWS on the left (TIME) side increases or decreases the workout duration.
Note: Whenever an arrow key is pressed during a workout, an increase (up arrow key) or decrease (down arrow key)
is made to the corresponding parameter (level). The number that appears reflects that change. For example, if the
user is at level 6 and presses the right up arrow key, the number 7 will appear, reflecting that the user has chosen a
new level. If the change is desired, press ENTER to accept. If the change is not desired, the user has ten seconds to
reset the level to the desired parameter, before the unit accepts the changed value and makes the appropriate adjust-
ments.
M. ENTER key: Press this key to confirm entries of workout setup values, as displayed in the MESSAGE CENTER.
N. COOL DOWN key: Workout programs end automatically in a Cool Down mode, which lowers the intensity level.
Press the COOL DOWN key at any desired point during a workout to go immediately into Cool Down mode. In this
phase of a workout the body begins to remove lactic acid and other accumulated by-products of exercise, which build
up in muscles during a workout and contribute to muscle soreness. The console automatically adjusts each workout’s
Cool Down level according to the individual user’s performance.
O. LEVEL / TIME WINDOW: This window displays the programmed intensity level and the time elapsed since the start of
the program.
P. START: Press this key to activate the console for programming a new workout. The activated console lights up and dis-
plays “SELECT WORKOUT OR PRESS QUICK START”. If no key is pressed for 15 seconds and the user stops pedal-
ing, the console shuts down again.
Note: The Life Fitness Bike’s AutoStart feature also activates the console when the user steps on the pedals and be-
gins pedaling.
Q. iPOD HOLDER: Users can attach an iPod via a 30-pin connector. Use iPod/TV controls to play, or controls on the
iPod itself to select a song or video and begin playing.
Note: If a Life Fitness Attachable TV is not connected, users can view videos on the iPod.
R. iPOD / TV KEYPAD: The keys are used to provide control of the optional entertainment systems (such as a Life
Fitness Attachable TV, iPod, and Cardio Theater). These keys are NOT used for workout programs.

3HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING®
3.1 WHY HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING®EXERCISE?
Research shows that maintaining a specific heart rate while exercising is the optimal way to monitor the intensity of a
workout and to achieve maximum results. That is the idea behind the Life Fitness Heart Rate Zone Training® approach to
exercise.
Zone Training identifies an exerciser's ideal heart rate range, or zone, for burning fat or increasing cardiovascular fitness.
The zone is a percentage of the theoretical maximum (HRmax), and its value depends on the workout. The maximal heart
rate formula is defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription",
8th Edition, 2010. HRmax equals to 206.9 minus the total of 0.67 multiplied by a person’s age.
The Life Fitness Lifecycle exercise bike features exclusive workouts designed to take full advantage of the benefits of
Heart Rate Zone Training+ exercise:
• FAT BURN • HEART RATE HILLTM • EXTREME HEART RATETM
• CARDIO • HEART RATE INTERVALTM
Each workout offers different benefits, as discussed in Section 4 The Workouts.
Note: Consulting a fitness trainer is recommended for defining specific fitness goals and designing a workout program.
To change the target heart rate during a workout, use the LEVEL arrow keys.
To switch between programs during a workout, use the WORKOUT SELECTION keys.
The Heart Rate Zone Training® workout programs measure heart rate. Wear the optional Polar® telemetry heart rate
chest strap, or grip the LifepulseTM sensors, to enable the bike’s on-board computer to monitor the heart rate during a
workout. The computer automatically adjusts the resistance level to maintain the target heart rate based on the actual
heart rate.
HR Max = 206.9 - (0.67 * age)
Note: Reference the above chart for Theoretical Maximum Heart Rates and Target Heart Rates.

3.2 HEART RATE MONITORING
THE LIFEPULSETM DIGITAL HEART RATE MONITORING SYSTEM
The patented Lifepulse system sensors are the built-in heart rate monitoring system on the Life Fitness Bike. For the most
accurate reading possible, during a workout:
• Grasp the sensors (A) firmly.
• Hold each sensor at the vertical midpoint.
• Keep hands steady and in place.
The console displays the heart rate within 10 to 40 seconds after the user grasps the sensors. The following factors may
affect a Lifepulse reading: incorrect hand placement on the sensors, upper body activity, lotion or dirt on hands, and ex-
cessive or insufficient pressure used when gripping the sensors.

THE OPTIONAL POLAR®TELEMETRY HEART RATE CHEST STRAP
The Lifecycle Bike is equipped with Polar® telemetry, a heart rate monitoring system in which electrodes, pressed against
the skin, transfer heart rate signals to the console. These electrodes are attached to a Polar telemetry heart rate chest
strap that the user wears during the workout. The Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap is optional. Contact Life Fitness
Customer Support Services to order.
See the diagram below for correct positioning of the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap. The electrodes (A), which are
the two grooved surfaces on the underside of the strap, must remain wet to transmit accurately the electrical impulses of
the heart back to the receiver. Moisten the electrodes. Then, secure the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap as high
under the chest muscles as possible. The strap should be snug, but comfortable enough to allow for normal breathing.
The transmitter strap delivers an optimal heart rate reading when the electrodes are in direct contact with bare skin. How-
ever, it functions properly through a thin layer of wet clothing.
If it becomes necessary to re-moisten the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap electrodes, grasp the center of the strap,
pull it away from the chest to expose the two electrodes, and re-moisten them.
Note: If the Lifepulse system sensors are grasped while the chest strap is worn, and if the signals from the sensors are
valid, the on-board computer uses these sensor signals for calculating the heart rate instead of those transmitted by the
Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap.

The following workouts are pre-programmed for the Lifecycle Bike.
► QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising. After the QUICK START key is pressed, a constant-level
workout begins. The intensity level does not change automatically.
► MANUAL is a constant effort workout in which the user can change the intensity level at any time.
► RANDOM is an interval training workout of constantly changing intensity levels that occur in no regular pattern
or progression.
► FAT BURN is a low-intensity workout for burning a higher percentage of calories from fat. The user wears a Polar
telemetry heart rate chest strap, or grasps the LifepulseTM sensors continuously. The program adjusts the intensity
level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 65% of the theoretical maximum.
► CARDIO is a higher intensity workout for more fit users, maximizing cardiovascular benefits and total calories
burned. The user wears a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap or grasps the LifepulseTM sensors continuously.
The program adjusts the intensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 80% of the
theoretical maximum.
The following workouts are accessed by pressing the HILL PLUS key.
► HILL is an interval training workout. Intervals are periods of intense aerobic exercise separated by regular periods
of lower-intensity exercise.
► AROUND THE WORLD is an interval-training workout in which the hills resemble scenes of various geographical
areas.
► CASCADES is a two-peak workout in which intensity levels gradually increase and decrease.
► FOOTHILLS is a rolling hill workout with low intensity levels.
► INTERVAL is a HILL workout in which intensity levels rise and fall. The higher levels gradually incline toward a peak
and then gradually decline.
► KILIMANJARO is a HILL workout in which the intensity levels gradually incline toward one ultimate peak and then
gradually decline.
► SPEED TRAINING is a HILL workout in which the intensity level alternates between high and low levels very quickly
to simulate a typical speed training workout.
