HOW TO OPERATE THE EXERC SE CYCLE
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
indicated 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
position 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 indicated knob counterclockwise two or three
turns to loosen it (if the knob is not loosened enough, it
may scratch the seat bracket). Next, pull the knob,
slide the seat to the desired position, and then release
the knob. Move the seat bracket forward and back-
ward slightly until the pin on the knob snaps into
one of the holes in the seat bracket. Then, turn the
knob clockwise until it is tight.
HOW TO ADJUST THE HANDLEBAR
The handlebar can
be adjusted to the
position that is the
most comfortable for
you. To adjust the
handlebar, first turn
the indicated handle
counterclockwise to
loosen it. Note: The
adjustment handle
works like a span-
ner. Turn the handle
counterclockwise,
pull it away from the handlebar, turn it clockwise, push
it toward the handlebar, and then turn it counterclock-
wise again. Repeat this procedure until the handlebar
is loose. Move the handlebar up or down to the desired
position, and then turn the handle clockwise until it is
tight.
HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDAL STRAPS
See assembly step 9 on page 8 to adjust the pedal
straps.
HOW TO LEVEL THE EXERC SE CYCLE
f the exercise cycle
does not sit flat on
the floor, turn one or
both of the leveling
pads until the exer-
cise cycle is level.

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 pedals can be changed
with the touch of a button. As you pedal, the console
will provide continuous exercise feedback. You can
even measure your heart rate using the built-in hand-
grip pulse sensor.
n addition, the console offers six Smart programs. Each
program automatically changes the resistance of the
pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease your
pace as it guides you through an effective workout.
The console also features iF T.com interactive technol-
ogy. Having iF T.com interactive technology is like hav-
ing a personal trainer in your home. Using the included
audio cable, you can connect the exercise cycle to your
home stereo, portable stereo, computer, or VCR and
play special iF T.com CD and video programs (iF T.com
CDs and videocassettes are available separately).
iF T.com CD and video programs automatically control
the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to vary
your pace as a personal trainer coaches you through
every step of your workout. High-energy music pro-
vides added motivation. To purchase iF T.com CDs
and videocassettes, visit our Web site at
www.iF T.com.
With the exercise cycle connected to your computer,
you can also go to our Web site at www.iF T.com and
access programs directly from the internet. Explore
www.iF T.com for more information.
