HOW TO OPERATE THE EXERCISE CYCLE
HOW TO MOVE AND LEVEL THE EXERCISE
CYCLE
Stand in front of
the exercise cycle,
hold the handle-
bars firmly, and
placed your foot
against one of the
wheels. Tip the
exercise cycle until
it can be moved on
the wheels. Care-
fully move the exercise cycle to the desired location
and then lower it. Due to the weight of the exercise
cycle, use extreme caution while moving it.
If the exercise
cycle rocks slightly
during use, turn the
leveling feet under
the rear stabilizer
until the rocking
motion is eliminat-
ed.
HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT POST
For effective exer-
cise, the seat
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 height of the
seat, first turn the
seat post knob
counterclockwise
two or three turns
to loosen it (if the knob is not loosened enough, it may
scratch the seat post). Next, pull the knob, slide the
seat post to the desired height, and then release the
knob. Move the seat post up and down slightly until
the pin on the knob snaps into one of the holes in
the seat post. Then, turn the knob clockwise until it is
tight.
HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT
The seat can be
adjusted to the posi-
tion that is the most
comfortable for you.
Before adjusting
the seat, dismount
the exercise cycle;
do not adjust the
seat while you are
sitting on it. To
adjust the seat, first
turn the seat knob
counterclockwise
two or three turns to
loosen it. Slide the seat forward or backward to the
desired position, and then firmly tighten the seat knob.
HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDAL STRAPS
The pedal straps
can be adjusted to
the position that is
the most comfort-
able for you. Press
the tabs on the ped-
als, adjust the
straps to the
desired position,
and then release
the tabs.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers a selection of features
designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and
effective. When the manual mode of the console is
selected, the resistance of the exercise cycle can be
changed with a touch of a button. As you exercise, the
console will provide continuous exercise feedback.
You can even measure your heart rate using the hand-
grip pulse sensor. Note: For information about an
optional chest pulse sensor, see page 19.
The console also offers six resistance and pace pro-
grams. Each program automatically changes the resis-
tance of the exercise cycle and prompts you to
increase or decrease your pace as it guides you
through an effective workout.
In addition, the console features two heart rate pro-
grams that automatically change the resistance of the
exercise cycle and prompt you to vary your pace to
keep your heart rate near a target heart rate as you
exercise.
The console also features new iFIT.com interactive
technology. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a
personal trainer in your home. Using the included audio
cable, you can connect the exercise cycle to your
home stereo, portable stereo, or computer and play
special iFIT.com CD programs (CD’s are available sep-
arately). IFIT.com CD programs automatically control
the resistance of the exercise cycle and prompt you to
vary your pace as a personal trainer coaches you
through every step of your workout. High-energy music
provides added motivation. Each CD features two pro-
grams designed by certified personal trainers.
In addition, you can connect the exercise cycle to your
VCR and TV and play iFIT.com video programs (video-
cassettes are available separately). Video programs
offer the same benefits as iFIT.com CD programs, and
add the excitement of working out with a class and an
instructor.
With the exercise cycle connected to your computer,
you can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com and
access programs directly from the internet. Explore
www.iFIT.com for details.
To purchase iFIT.com CD’s and videocassettes,
call toll-free 1-800-735-0768.

HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE
Begin pedaling to activate the console.
The exercise cycle requires no batteries or
external power source. Power is supplied by
a generator as you pedal. To activate the con-
sole, begin pedaling at a speed of about 3 miles
per hour or faster. After a few seconds, the con-
sole displays will light. A tone will then sound
and the console will be ready for use.
Select the manual mode.

turned on, the
manual mode will
be selected. If you
have selected a
program or the
iFIT.com mode,
select the manual mode by pressing the Program
Select button repeatedly until a track appears in
the matrix.
Begin pedaling and change the resistance of
the exercise cycle as desired.
As you pedal,
change the resis-
tance of the exer-
cise cycle by
pressing the
Resistance but-
tons. There are
ten resistance levels. Note: After the Resistance
buttons are pressed, it will take a moment for the
exercise cycle to reach the selected resistance
level.
Monitor your progress with the matrix, the
Training Zone bar, and the two displays.
The matrix—
When the manual
mode or the
iFIT.com mode is
selected, the
matrix will show a
track representing
1/4 mile. As you exercise, the indicators around
the track will flash to indicate your position on the
track. When you have completed a lap, a new
lap will begin.
The Training Zone
bar—The Training
Zone bar will show
your pace and the
approximate inten-
sity level of your
exercise. For exam-
ple, if three or four indicators in the bar are lit, the
bar shows that your pace is ideal for fat burning.
During programs, the Training Zone bar will also
prompt you to increase or decrease your pace.
The left display—
The left display will
show the elapsed
time, your pedaling
pace (measured in
minutes per mile),
and the distance
you have pedaled. The display will change from
one number to the next every few seconds, as
shown by the indicators around the display. Note:
When a program is selected, the display will show
the time remaining in the program and the time
remaining in the current segment of the program
instead of the elapsed time.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone
will sound, the console will pause, and the left dis-
play will begin to flash.
The right
display—The right
display will show
your pedaling
speed, the approxi-
mate numbers of
fat calories and
calories you have burned (see FAT BURNING on
page 21), and the resistance level of the exercise
cycle. The display will change from one number to
the next every few seconds, as shown by the indi-
cators. The display will also show your heart rate
when you use the handgrip pulse sensor or the
optional chest pulse sensor. Note: Each time the
resistance of the exercise cycle changes, the dis-
play will show the resistance level.

ton again.
Measure your heart rate if desired.
Note: If you hold the handgrip pulse sensor
and wear the optional chest pulse sensor at
the same time, the console may not display
your heart rate accurately.
If there are
thin sheets of
plastic on the
metal con-
tacts on the
handgrip
pulse sensor,
peel off the
plastic. To
measure your
heart rate,
place your hands on the contacts; your palms
must be resting on the contacts closest to you,
and your fingers must be touching the other con-
tacts. Avoid moving your hands.
When your pulse is
detected, the Heart
Rate indicator
above the right dis-
play will begin to
flash, one or two
dashes (– –) will
appear in the right display, and then your heart
rate will be shown. For the most accurate heart
rate reading, continue to hold the contacts for
about 15 seconds. Note: If your heart rate is not
shown, make sure that your hands are positioned
as described. Be careful not to move your hands
excessively or to squeeze the metal contacts too
tightly.
When you hold the pulse sensor, the right display
will show your heart rate for about 30 seconds. If
you continue to hold the pulse sensor, the display
will show your heart rate along with the other
modes.
Turn on the fan if desired.

HOW TO USE RESISTANCE AND PACE
PROGRAMS
Begin pedaling to activate the console.
See step 1 on page 10.
Select one of the six resistance and pace
programs.
When the power is
turned on, the
manual mode will
be selected. To
select a resistance
and pace program,
press the Program
Select button repeatedly until a “P 1,” “P 2,” “P 3,”
“P 4,” “P 5,” or “P 6” appears in the right display.
When a resistance and pace program is selected,
the matrix will show the first seven pace settings
for the program. The left display will show how
long the program will last.
Press the Program Start button or begin
pedaling to start the program.
Each program is divided into several time seg-
ments of different lengths. One pace setting and
one resistance setting are programmed for each
segment. (The same pace setting and/or resis-
tance setting may be programmed for two or more
consecutive segments.)
The pace setting
for the first seg-
ment will be
shown in the flash-
ing Current
Segment column
of the matrix. (The
resistance settings
are not shown in the matrix.) The pace settings
for the next several segments will be shown in the
columns to the right.
As you exercise, the Training Zone bar will help
you to keep your pedaling pace near the pace
setting for the current segment. The lit indicators
in the bar will show your actual pace. If an indica-
tor to the right of
the lit indicators is
flashing (see draw-
ing a), increase
your pace. If an
indicator to the left
of any lit indicator
is flashing (see
drawing b),
decrease your
pace. When no
indicator is flash-
ing, your pace
matches the pace setting for the current segment.
Important: The pace settings are intended
only to provide motivation. Your actual pace
may be slower than the current pace setting.
Make sure to exercise at a pace that is com-
fortable for you.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, both the Current Segment
column and the column to the right will flash, a
series of tones will sound, and all pace settings
will move one column to the left. The pace setting
for the second segment will then be shown in the
flashing Current Segment column and the resis-
tance of the exercise cycle will automatically
change to the resistance setting for the second
segment.
Note: If all of the indicators in the Current Segment
column are lit after the pace settings have moved
to the left, the pace settings will move downward
so that only the highest indicators appear in the
matrix.
The program will continue until the pace setting
for the last segment is shown in the Current
Segment column of the matrix and no time
remains in the program.
Note: During the program, you can override the
resistance setting for the current segment, if
desired, with the Resistance buttons. However,
when the next segment begins, the resistance
may automatically change to the resistance set-
ting for the next segment. If you stop pedaling for
several seconds, a tone will sound and the pro-
gram will pause. To restart the program, simply
resume pedaling.

See step 7 on page 11.
HOW TO USE HEART RATE PROGRAMS
Each heart rate program helps you to keep your heart
rate near a certain percentage of your maximum heart
rate during your workout. (Your maximum heart rate is
estimated by subtracting your age from 220. For
example, if you are 30 years old, your maximum heart
rate is 190.) Heart rate program 1 is designed to keep
your heart rate between 50% and 80% of your maxi-
mum heart rate while you exercise; heart rate pro-
gram 2 is designed to keep your heart rate between
50% and 85% of your maximum heart rate.
Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.
Begin pedaling to activate the console.
See step 1 on page 10.
Select one of the heart rate programs.
When the power is
turned on, the man-
ual mode will be
selected. To select
a heart rate pro-
gram, press the
Program Select
button repeatedly until an “H 1” or “H 2” appears
in the right display.
Enter your age.
When a heart rate
program is select-
ed, the word “AGE”
and the current
age setting will
flash in the left dis-
play. You must
enter your age to use a heart rate program. If
you have already entered your age, press the
Age Set Enter button and go to step 4. If you
have not entered your age, press the + or – but-
ton repeatedly to enter your age, and then press
the Age Set Enter button.
Once you have entered your age, it will be saved
in memory.

Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
To use a heart rate program, you must use the
handgrip pulse sensor (see step 5 on page 11) or
the optional chest pulse sensor. If you use the
handgrip pulse sensor, it is not necessary to hold
the handgrips continuously during the program.
However, you should hold the handgrips fre-
quently for the program to operate properly. Each
time you hold the handgrips, keep your hands
on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds.
Note: When you are not holding the handgrips,
the letters “PLS” will appear in the right display
instead of your heart rate.
Press the Program Start button or begin
pedaling to start the program.
Each heart rate program consists of 20 one-
minute segments. One resistance setting and
one heart rate setting are programmed for each
segment. (The same resistance setting and/or
heart rate setting may be programmed for two or
more consecutive segments.)
The resistance
setting for the first
segment will be
shown in the flash-
ing Current
Segment column
of the matrix. The
resistance settings
for the next several segments will be shown in the
columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment, both the Current Segment column and the
column to the right will flash, a series of tones will
sound, and all resistance settings will move one
column to the left. The resistance setting for the
second segment will then be shown in the flash-
ing Current Segment column and the resistance
of the exercise cycle will automatically adjust to
the resistance setting for the second segment.
As you exercise, the Training Zone bar will help
you to keep your heart rate near the heart rate
setting for the current segment. The lit indicators
in the bar will show your actual pace. When you
hold the handgrip pulse sensor (or wear the
optional chest pulse sensor), the console will
periodically compare your heart rate to the heart
rate setting for the
current segment; if
necessary, an indi-
cator in the bar will
then flash to
prompt you to
increase or
decrease your
pace to bring your
heart rate closer to
the current heart
rate setting. If an
indicator to the
right of the lit indicators is flashing (see drawing
a), increase your pace. If an indicator to the left
of any lit indicator is flashing (see drawing b),
decrease your pace. When no indicator is flash-
ing, your heart rate is near the current heart rate
setting. Important: The heart rate settings are
intended only to provide motivation. Your
actual heart rate may be slower than the cur-
rent heart rate setting. Make sure to exercise
at a pace that is comfortable for you.
The program will continue until the resistance set-
ting for the last segment is shown in the Current
Segment column of the matrix and no time
remains in the program.
Note: During the program, you can manually over-
ride the resistance setting for the current seg-
ment, if desired, with the Resistance buttons.
However, when the next segment begins, the
exercise cycle will automatically adjust to the
resistance setting for the next segment. If you
stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone will
sound and the program will pause. To restart the
program, simply resume pedaling.
Monitor your progress with the two displays.
See step 4 on page 10.
Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 11.
When the program is finished, the console
will automatically turn off.

Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the exercise
cycle regularly. To clean the exercise cycle, use a
soft, damp cloth. To prevent damage to the console,
keep liquids away from the console and keep the con-
sole out of direct sunlight.
HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH
If the console does not display correct feedback, the
reed switch should be adjusted. To adjust the reed
switch, the Right Side Shield (27) must be removed.
Using an adjustable wrench, turn the Right Pedal (21)
counterclockwise and remove it. Next, remove the M4
x 25mm Screws (65). Turn the Right Crank Arm (24)
so that it is pointing toward the front of the exercise
cycle and then slide off the Right Side Shield.
Next, locate the Reed Switch (46). Turn the Right
Crank Arm (24) until the Magnet (30) is aligned with
the Reed Switch. Loosen, but do not remove, the indi-
cated Screw (57). Slide the Reed Switch slightly clos-
er to or away from the Magnet. Then, retighten the
Screw.
Turn the right crank arm for a moment. Repeat until
the console displays correct feedback. When the reed
switch is correctly adjusted, reattach the right side
shield and the right pedal.
HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT
If you can feel the pedals slip while you are pedaling,
even when the resistance is adjusted to the highest
level, the Drive Belt (47) may need to be adjusted. To
adjust the Drive Belt, you must first remove both side
shields. Refer to HOW TO ADJUST THE REED
SWITCH at the left and remove the side shields.
Next, turn the indicated M8 Nylon Locknut (63) until
the Drive Belt (47) is properly tightened. Then, reat-
tach the side shields.
PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
• Avoid moving your hands while using the pulse sen-
sor. Excessive movement may interfere with heart
rate readings. Do not hold the metal contacts too
tightly; doing so may interfere with heart rate read-
ings.
• For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the
metal contacts for about 15 seconds.
• For optimal performance of the pulse sensor, keep
the metal contacts clean. The contacts can be
cleaned with a soft cloth—never use alcohol,
abrasives, or chemicals.
