FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers an array of features
designed to make your workouts more effective and
enjoyable.
When you use the manual mode of the console, you
can change the resistance of the pedals with the touch
of a button. As you exercise, the console will provide
continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure
your heart rate using the handgrip heart rate monitor.
The console offers fourteen preset workouts--seven
weight loss and seven performance workouts. Each
preset workout automatically changes the resistance
of the pedals and prompts you to vary your pedaling
speed as it guides you through an effective workout.
The console also features the iFit interactive workout
system, which enables the console to accept iFit cards
containing workouts designed to help you achieve
specific fitness goals.
For example, lose unwanted pounds with the 8-week
Weight Loss workout, iFit workouts control the resis-
tance of the pedals while the voice of a personal trainer
coaches you through your workouts, iFit cards are
available separately. To purchase iFit cards, go to
www.iFit.com or call 1=888=533-1333. iFit cards are
also available at select stores.
You can even connect your MP3 player or CD player
to the console sound system and listen to your favorite
music or audio books while you exercise.
To use the manual mode, see page 14. To use a
preset workout, see page 16. To use the sound
system, see page 17. To use the user mode, see
page 18.
Note: Before using the console, make sure that batter-
ies are installed (see assembly step 11 on page 10).

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect and tighten all parts of the exercise bike regu-
larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
To clean the exercise bike, use a damp cloth and a
small amount of mild soap. IMPORTANT: To avoid
damage to the console, keep liquids away from
the console and keep the console out of direct
sunlight.
CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING
If the console display becomes dim, replace all the bat-
teries at the same time; most console problems are the
result of low batteries. See assembly step 11 on page
10 for replacement instructions.
If the console does not display your heart rate when
you use the handgrip heart rate monitor, see step 5 on
page 15.
HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH
If the console does not display correct feedback, the
reed switch should be adjusted.
Using a flat screwdriver, remove the Top Shield Cap
(10). Then, remove the two M4 x 16mm Screws (40)
and lift the Top Shield (9) away from the frame.
4O 9
Next, locate the Reed Switch (21). Loosen, but do not
remove, the M4 x 16mm Screw (40).
Rotate the Pulley (13) until a Pulley Magnet (16) is
aligned with the Reed Switch (21). Slide the Reed
Switch slightly toward or away from the Pulley Magnet.
Then, retighten the M4 x 16mm Screw (40).
Rotate the pulley for a moment. Repeat these actions
until the console displays correct feedback.
When the reed switch is correctly adjusted, reattach
the top shield and the top shield cap.
19

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 may need to be adjusted.
To adjust the drive belt, you must remove the top
shield cap, the top shield, and the right shield (see the
instructions below).
Using a flat screwdriver, remove the Top Shield Cap
(10). Then, remove the two M4 x 16mm Screws (40)
and lift the Top Shield (9) away from the frame.
Tip: It may be necessary to remove the right pedal.
Using an adjustable wrench, turn the right pedal coun-
terclockwise and remove it.
Hold the two M8 Locknuts (37) and loosen the two M8
x 16mm Screws (53). Next, loosen the M10 x 50mm
Screw (33) until the Drive Belt (23) is tight. Then, hold
the M8 Locknuts and tighten the M8 x 16mm Screws.

Then, reattach the right shield, the top shield, and the
top shield cap. Reattach the right pedal, if necessary.
Remove the five M4 x 16mm Screws (40) from the
Right Shield (18). Then, gently move the Right Shield
away from the frame.
