should be replaced. See assembly step 5 on page 5.
In addition, make sure that the console wire is con-
nected to the reed switch wire.
HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH
If the console does not display correct feedback, the
reed switch should be adjusted. In order to adjust the
reed switch, the Left Side Shield (10) must be
removed. Using an adjustable spanner, turn the Left
Pedal (8) clockwise and remove it from the Crank
(53). Remove the three M4 x 38mm Screws (40) and
the two M4 x 16mm Screws (7) from the Left Side
Shield. Make sure that the arm of the Crank is in the
position shown in the drawing above. Carefully slide
the Left Side Shield forward off the arm of the Crank
and remove it.
Next, locate the Reed Switch (49). Turn the Crank

Switch. Loosen but do not remove the M4 x 16mm
Screw (7). Slide the Reed Switch slightly closer to or
away from the Magnet. Retighten the Screw. Turn the
Crank for a moment. Repeat until the console dis-
plays correct feedback. When the Reed Switch is cor-
rectly adjusted, reattach the left side shield and pedal.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
The following guidelines will help you to plan your
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition
and adequate rest are essential for successful results.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.
The proper intensity level can be found by using your
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom-
mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat
burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
on either side of the chart (ages are rounded off to the
nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers to
the side of your age. The three numbers are your
“training zone.” The lowest number is the recommend-
ed heart rate for fat burning; the middle number is the
heart rate for maximum fat burning; the highest
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Burning Fat
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a rela-
tively low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener-
gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does
your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy.
If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest num-
ber in your training zone as you exercise.
For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the middle num-
ber in your training zone as you exercise.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-
tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exer-
cise is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen
for prolonged periods of time. This increases the
demand on the heart to pump blood to the muscles,
and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until
your heart rate is near the highest number in your
training zone.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE
To measure your
heart rate, first exer-
cise for at least four
minutes. Then, stop
exercising and
place two fingers on
your wrist as
shown. Take a six-
second heartbeat
count, and multiply
the result by 10 to find your heart rate. For example, if
your six-second heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate
is 140 beats per minute. (A six-second count is used
because your heart rate will drop rapidly when you
stop exercising.)
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
ach workout should include the following three parts:
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-
ing and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases
your body temperature, heart rate, and
circulation in preparation for exercise.
WARNING: Be ore beginning this or any exer-
cise program, consult your physician. This is
especially important or persons over the age
o 35 or persons with pre-existing health
problems.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the
right. Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.
1. Toe Touch Stretch
Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward
from your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you
reach down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15
counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings,
back of knees and back.
2. Hamstring Stretch
Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot
toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended
leg. Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15
counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches:
Hamstrings, lower back and groin.
3. Cal /Achilles Stretch
With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place
your hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and
your back foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean for-
ward and move your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts,
then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. To cause further
stretching of the achilles tendons, bend your back leg as well.
Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons and ankles.
4. Quadriceps Stretch
With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and
grasp one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close
to your buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax.
Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip
muscles.

Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 min-
utes of exercising with your heart rate in your training
zone. (During the first few weeks of your exercise pro-
gram, do not keep your heart rate in your training zone
for longer than 20 minutes.)
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This
will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help
to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three work-
outs each week, with at least one day of rest between
workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you
may complete up to five workouts each week, if
desired. Caution: Be sure to progress at your own
pace and avoid overdoing it. Incorrect or excessive
training may result in injury to your health.
Remember, the key to success is make exercise a
regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
