HOW TO ADJUST THE POSITION OF THE SEAT
For effective exer-
cise, the seat

proper position.
As you pedal,
there should be a
slight bend in
your knees when

the farthest posi-
tion. IMPOR-
TANT: After you
adjust the seat, make sure that your knees will not
touch the handlebar or the console when you
pedal. To adjust the seat, first pivot the seat handle to
the position shown in the drawing. Next, slide the seat
forward or back to the desired position. To secure the
seat, pivot the seat handle forward.
HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDAL STRAPS
To adjust the pedal
straps, first pull the
straps off the tabs on
the pedals. Adjust the

DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE
The innovative console offers a manual mode and
three preset workout programs. When the manual
mode is selected, the pedaling resistance can be
changed with a touch of a button. When a preset pro-
grams is selected, the console will automatically con-
trol the pedaling resistance to give you an effective
workout. The console also features seven monitor
modes that provide instant exercise feedback:
SpeedÑWhen a mode arrow points to this sym-
bol, the console will show your pedaling speed,
in miles per hour.
TimeÑWhen a mode arrow points to this sym-
bol, the console will show the elapsed time.
DistanceÑWhen a mode arrow points to this
symbol, the console will show the distance you
have pedaled, in miles.
Fat CalorieÑWhen a mode arrow points to this
symbol, the console will show the approximate
number of fat calories you have burned (see
FAT BURNING on page 13).
CalorieÑWhen a mode arrow points to this sym-
bol, the console will show the approximate num-
ber of calories you have burned.
ScanÑWhen a mode arrow points to this sym-
bol, the console will show the speed, time, dis-
tance, fat calorie, and calorie modes, for 5 sec-
onds each, in a continuous cycle.
PulseÑThe pulse window will show your heart
rate when the pulse monitor is used.
HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE
Plug in the power supply.
Plug the power supply into the recumbent cycle
(see assembly step 13 on page 9). Next, plug the
power supply into an electrical outlet. Note:
When you plug in the power supply, press the
on/reset button, or activate the console by
turning the pedals, the resistance motor will
automatically calibrate itself. During calibra-
tion, you will hear the resistance motor turn-
ing. Wait until calibration is complete before
continuing.
Turn on the power.
Press the on/reset button or simply begin pedal-
ing to turn on the power. The entire display will
appear for a moment; the console will then be
ready for use. Note: If the power supply was just
plugged in, the power will already be on.
Select the manual mode.
When the power is
turned on, the manu-
al mode will be
selected and the
manual indicator will
light. If a preset pro-
gram has been
selected, press the
select button repeat-
edly until the manual
indicator lights.
