HOW TO OPERATE THE EXERCISE 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 seat knob coun-
terclockwise and
remove it. Next,
slide the seat post up or down, and align one of the
adjustment holes in the seat post with the indicated
hole in the seat frame. Insert the seat knob into the
seat frame and the seat post, and turn the knob clock-
wise until it is tight. Make sure that the seat knob is
inserted through one of the adjustment holes in
the seat post.
HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDAL STRAPS
To adjust the pedal
straps, first pull the
ends of the straps off
the tabs on the ped-
als. Adjust the straps
to the desired posi-
tion, and then press
the ends of the straps
back onto the tabs.
HOW TO LEVEL THE EXERCISE CYCLE
If the exercise cycle
rocks on your floor
during use, turn one
or both of the level-
ling feet beneath the
rear stabilizer until
the rocking motion is
eliminated.

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.
In addition, the console features two pulse programs
that change the resistance of the pedals and help you
to maintain a steady pedaling pace to keep your heart
rate near a target heart rate setting while you exercise.
The console also offers two preset programs. Each
program automatically changes the resistance of the
pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease your
pedaling pace as it guides you through an effective
workout.
To use the manual mode of the console, see the
instructions at the right. Touse a pulse program, see
page 12. To use a preset program, see page 13.
Before using the console, make sure that batteries are
installed (see assembly step 5 on page 7). If there is a
sheet of clear plastic on the display,remove the plastic.
HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE
Turn on the console.
To turn on the console, press the Increase button
or begin pedaling. The pace guide will light for a
moment; the console will then be ready for use.
Select the manual mode.
When the power is turned on, the manual mode
will be selected. If you have selected a program,
reselect the manual mode by pressing the
Program/Manual button repeatedly until no pro-
gram indicators (see the drawing above) appear
along the left side of the display.
Change the resistance of the pedals as desired.
As you pedal,
change the resis-
tance of the pedals
by pressing the
Increase and
Decrease buttons.
There are ten resis-
tance levels. Note: After the buttons are pressed,
it will take a moment for the pedals to reach the
selected resistance level.
