ASSEMBLY
Assembly requires two persons. Place all parts ofthe exemisecycle in aclearedarea and remove the packing
matedals. Do not dispose ofthe packing materialsuntilassembly iscompleted.
Assembly requires the included tools and your own adjustable wrench _and Phillips screw-
driver _-.
Use the part drawingsbelow to identifythe small parts used in assembly.The number in parenthesis below
each drawing refersto the key number of the part,from the PART LIST on page 22. The secondnumber refers
to the quantity needed for assembly.Note: Some small parts may have been prs-attached. If a part is not in
the parts bag, check to see if it has been pre-attached.
Note: If a part is not in the parts bag, first checkto see if it has been pre-assembled. If a part is missing,
call toll-free 1-800-999-3756.

Heart Rate program 1is designedto keep yourheart
rate between 65% and 85% of your maximum heart
rate duringyourworkout.(Your maximum heart rate is
estimated by subtractingyour age from 220. For
example, if you are 25 years old, your maximum heart
rate is 195 beats per minute.) Heart Rate program 2 is
designed to keep your heart rate near a target heart
ratethat you select.
Followthe steps below to use a Heart Rate program.
B Turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 11.
BSelect one of the Heart Rate programs.

Program 1 consistsof 20 one-minute periods.
One resistancelevel and one target heart rate are
programmedfor each period. (The same resis-
tance level and/or target heart rate may be pro-
gremmedfor two or more consecutive periods.)
Program 2 issixtyminuteslong (you may choose
to use onlypart ofthe program).The same resis-
tance level and target heart rate are programmed
for the entireprogram.
If program 1 is selected, the resistanceofthe
pedalswill periodicallychange. (Note: If the resis-
tance level is too highor too low,you can change
it bypressingthe + and - buttonsbelowthe large
