FITNESS BIKE FEATURES
FOOT PEDALS
Through research performed with a leading sports scientist and physical rehabilitation expert,
Sole engineering has developed a breakthrough in pedal design. Typical stationary exercise
bikes are wider than a normal road bike. The reason is to allow for the braking mechanism,
pulleys, drive components and plastic covers. Since the bike is wider, so is the distance between
the pedals; this width between the pedals is called the Q factor.
SEAT ADJUSTMENT B74
To raise the seat position, loosen the knob and pull the knob out. Now lift up from under the
rear of the seat. Once the seat is at the desired setting, tighten the knob to ensure the seat post
won’t accidentally slide downward during use. To lower the seat, loosen the knob then hold
under the rear of the seat and pull the knob out to disengage the pin from the seat post.
SEAT ADJUSTMENT R72
You are able to adjust the seat position while seated. Pull up on the lever located in front of the
seat and slide the carriage forward or backwards. The correct position is when there is a slight
bend in your knee when the pedal is at its farthest position forward (3 o’clock position when
looking from the right side of the bike). elease the lever and you are ready to begin.
PEDAL STRAP ADJUSTMENT
Adjust each pedal strap so that they are snug around your feet. You have the option of adjusting
the strap length on one or both sides of the pedal.

When it is first powered on, the console will perform an internal self-test. During this time all the lights will turn on.
When the lights go off, the Message Window will show a software version (i.e.: VE 1.0) and the Distance window
will display an odometer reading. The odometer reading displays how many virtual miles the fitness bike has gone.
The Time window displays how many hours the fitness bike has been used.
The odometer and time will remain displayed for only a few seconds then the console will go to the start-up dis-
play. The dot matrix display will be scrolling through the different workout profiles and the Message Window will
scroll the start-up message. You may now begin to use the console.
ATTENTION
Your new fitness bike console may come configured in an in-store ‘display mode’ of operation, where the console
will remain powered on unless the main power switch is turned off. To exit the display mode, for normal operation,
press and hold the Stop, Enter and Display keys for five seconds; the display will show: Display Mode - ON. Use
the Level Up key to change the setting to OFF then press Enter.

CONSOLE OPE ATION
QUICK START
This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console
powers up you just press the Start key to begin, this will
initiate the Quick Start mode. In Quick Start the time will count
up from zero and the workload/resistance may be adjusted
manually by pressing the Level  /  buttons. The dot matrix
display will be showing a track with a blinking dot
indicating your progress as it travels around the track.
BASIC INFORMATION
The Message Window will initially display Laps completed. Each time the Display button is
pressed the next set of information will appear. The order of information displayed will be:
Speed (in mph), Level, Watts, Segment Time and Data Scan mode. In Data Scan mode, the
displayed information will change every 4 seconds in the Message Window.
The fitness bike has a built in heart rate monitoring system, Simply grasping the Contact Heart
Rate Sensors on the handle bars or wearing the optional chest strap transmitter will start the
heart (see Heart ate Programs) Icon blinking (this may take a few seconds). The Pulse Window
will display your heart rate in beats per minute and the H bar graph will show your current %
in relation to projected heart rate maximum. The optional chest strap is a more accurate and
reliable method of heart rate reading. The hand pulse sensors are subject to false readings
depending on user physiology and workout habits including how one grips the sensors or how
sweaty their hands are.
The Stop button actually has several functions. Pressing the
Stop key once during a program will Pause the program for 5
minutes. If you need to get a drink, answer the phone or any
of the many things that could interrupt your workout, this is
a great feature. To resume your workout during Pause just
press the Start key. If the Stop button is pressed twice during
a workout the program will end and a Workout Summary is
displayed.
If the Stop/Reset key is held down for 3 seconds the console will perform a complete Reset.
During data entry for a program the Stop/Reset key performs a Previous Screen function. This
allows you to go back one step in the programming each time you press the Stop key.
There is an Audio In Jack ( ) on the front of the console and built-in speakers. You may plug
any low-level audio source signal into this port. Audio sources include MP3, iPod, portable radio,
CD player or even a TV or computer audio signal. There is also a Headphone Jack ( )for private
listening.
PROGRAMMING THE CONSOLE
Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to suit
your needs. Some of the information asked for is necessary to ensure the readouts are correct.

19
B74/

FITNESS

You will be asked for your Age and Weight. Entering your Age is necessary during the Heart
ate control program to ensure the correct settings are entered in the program; entering your
Weight aides in calculating a more correct Calorie reading. Although we cannot provide an
exact calorie count we do want to be as close as possible.
A message about Calories: Calorie readings on every piece of exercise equipment, whether it is
in a gym or at home, are not accurate and tend to vary widely. They are meant only as a guide to
monitor your progress from workout to workout. The only way to measure your calorie burn
accurately is in a clinical setting connected to a host of machines. This is because every person is
different and burns calories at a different rate.
ENTERING A PROGRAM AND CHANGING SETTINGS
Press each program button to scroll through the program selections. The profile for each
program will be displayed in the dot matrix window. Press the Enter key to select a program
and begin customizing the settings. If you want to workout without entering new settings, then
just press the Start key. This will bypass the programming of data and take you directly to the
start of your workout. If you want to change the personal settings, then just follow the
instructions in the Message Window. If you start a program without changing the settings,
the default settings will be used.
Note: Age and Weight default settings will change when you enter a new number. So the last
Age and Weight entered will be saved as the new default settings. If you enter Age and Weight
the first time you use the fitness bike you will not have to enter it every time you work out unless
either Age or Weight has changed or someone else enters a different Age and Weight.

MANUAL PROGRAM
The Manual program works as the name implies, manually. This means that you control the
workload yourself and not the computer.
1. Press the Manual program button then press the Enter key.
2. The Message Window will ask you to enter your Age. You may adjust the age
setting using the Level  /  keys, then press the Enter key to accept the new number
and proceed on to the next screen.
3. You are now asked to enter your Weight. You may adjust your weight setting using the
Level  /  keys, then press Enter to continue.
4. Next is the Time. You may adjust the length of Time by pressing the Level  /  keys,
then press Enter to continue.
5. Now you are finished editing the settings and can begin your workout by pressing the
Start key. You can also go back and modify your settings by pressing the Stop key to go
back one level of the programming screen.
6. Once the program starts the fitness bike will be set to level one. This is the easiest level
and it is a good idea to stay at level one for a while to warm up. If you want to increase the
work load at any time press the Level  key; the Level  key will decrease the workload.
7. During the Manual program you will be able to scroll through the data in the Message
Window by pressing the Display key.
8. When the program ends the Message Window will show a summary of your workout.
The summary will be displayed for a short time then the console will return to the start-
up display.
