HOW TO USE THE PROFORM¨REVOLUTION
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE REVOLUTION
To mount the REVOLUTION, firmly hold both handle-
bars and carefully step onto the pedal that is in the
lowest position. Next, step onto the other pedal. Push
the pedals until they begin to move with a continuous
motion. Note: The pedal disks can turn in either
direction; it is recommended that you turn the
pedal disks in the direction shown below;
however, to give variety to your exercise, you
may choose to turn the pedal disks in the
opposite direction.
To dismount the REVOLUTION, allow the pedals to
come to a complete stop. CAUTION: The REVOLU-
TION does not have a freewheel; the pedals will
continue to move until the flywheel stops. When
the pedals are stationary, step off the highest pedal
first. Then, step off the lowest pedal.
HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE OF THE
PEDALS
As you exercise,
you can adjust
the resistance of
the pedals with
the resistance
knob on the
console. To
increase the
resistance,
turn the knob
clockwise; to
decrease the
resistance, turn the knob counterclockwise.
HOW TO USE THE HANDLEBARS IN THE
STATIONARY POSITION
To focus on lower-body exercise, the handlebars can
be locked in a stationary position. To do this, align the
holes in the handlebars with the holes in the upright.
Next, insert the lock knobs into the handlebars and
tighten them into the upright (see the drawing below).
Note: If it is difficult to insert the lock knobs, twist the
handlebars slightly in order to align the holes; do not
twist the handlebars too far or they may be
damaged.
HOW TO USE THE HANDLEBARS IN THE
DUAL-MOTION POSITION
To add upper-
body exercise to
your workout,
remove the lock
knobs from the
handlebars and
the upright. Align
the lower holes
in the handle-
bars with the
holes in the link
arms. Insert the
lock knobs into
the link arms
and tighten them into the handlebars.
To exercise, move the handlebars forward and back-
ward as you pedal. Be sure to keep your back straight
and your knees bent slightly.

DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE
The console is designed to help you get the most
from your workouts. As you exercise, you can watch
your progress around the LED track, while the
display provides continuous exercise feedback.
The six modes of the display are described below.
SpeedÑThis mode displays your current exercise
speed, in miles per hour.
TimeÑThis mode displays the length of time you
have exercised. Note: If you stop exercising, the time
mode will pause until you resume.
DistanceÑThis mode displays the total distance you
have completed, in miles.
LapsÑThis mode displays the number of 1/4-mile
laps you have completed around the LED track.
CalorieÑThis mode displays the approximate number
of Calories you have burned.
ScanÑThis mode displays the speed, time, distance,
laps, and calorie modes, for 5 seconds each, in a
repeating cycle.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
Before the console can be operated, two ÒAAÓ batter-
ies must be installed. If you have not installed batter-
ies, see assembly step 7 on page 8.
HOW TO OPERATE THE CONSOLE
If there is a thin sheet of clear plastic on the face of
the console, remove it.
1. To turn on the power, press the on/reset button or
simply begin exercising. When the power is turned
on, one LED indicator will light in the LED track,
and the entire display will appear for two seconds.
The console will then be ready for operation.
2. Select one of the five modes:
Scan modeÑ
When the power
is turned on, the
scan mode will
automatically be
selected. One
mode indicator
will show that the
scan mode is selected, and a flashing mode indica-
tor will show which mode is currently displayed.
Note: If a different mode is selected, you can
select the scan mode again by repeatedly pressing
the mode button.
Speed, time,
distance, laps,
or calorie modeÑ
To select one of
these modes for
continuous
display, press the
mode button repeatedly. The mode indicators will
show which mode is selected. (Make sure that the
scan mode is not selected.)
3. The LED track represents a distance of 1/4 mile. As
you exercise, the indicators around the track will
light one at a time until you have completed 1/4
mile. A new lap will then begin.
4. To reset the display, press the on/reset button.
5. To turn off the power, simply wait for about four
minutes. Note: The console has an Òauto-offÓ
feature. If the pedals are not moved and the
console buttons are not pressed for four
minutes, the power will turn off automatically
in order to conserve the batteries.
