HOW TO OPERATE THE EXERCISE CYCLE

HANDLEBAR OPERATION

The handlebars can be used in either the dual-action

mode, for both upper-body and lower-body exercise,

or the stationary mode, for pedaling exercise only.

Dual-action Mode

To convert the

handlebars to

the dual-

action mode,

the link arms

must be con-

nected to the

pedals. Refer

to drawing 1.

Lift the link

arms off the

lock rods.

Refer to draw-

ing 2. Pull the

link arms out-

ward against

the tops of

the red wash-

ers, while

pulling

against the

bottoms of the

red washers

with your fin-

gers as shown. Be careful not to pinch your fin-

gers. Next, slide the link arms onto the pedal bush-

ings. Move the link arms up and down slightly to

make sure that they are fully seated on the pedal

bushings. CAUTION: Make sure that the link arms

are fully seated on the pedal bushings. If the link

arms are not on the pedal bushings, they may slip

off during use, resulting in injury to the user.

Stationary Mode

To convert the handlebars to the stationary mode, the

link arms must be disconnected from the pedals. Pull

the link arms outward against the red washers until

the link arms are free of the pedal bushings (see

drawing 2 above). Be careful not to pinch your fin-

gers. Next, lift the link arms off the pedals, and clip

them onto the lock rods (see drawing 1 above).

HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT

For effective exer-

cise, the seat must

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 seat,

first turn the seat

knob counterclock-

wise two or three

turns to loosen it.

Next, pull the seat

knob, raise or lower

the seat post, and

then release the

seat knob. Move the seat post up and down slightly

until it locks into position. Then, tighten the seat

knob. CAUTION: Make sure that the pin on the seat

knob is inserted into one of the adjustment holes

in the seat post. Do not rest the seat post on top

of the pin on the seat knob.

DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE

The console features six modes that provide instant

exercise feedback during your workouts. The modes

are described below.

• Time—This mode displays the elapsed time.

• Distance—This mode displays the total distance you

have pedaled.

• Speed—This mode displays your pedaling speed.

Note: Speed and distance can be displayed in either

miles or kilometers. An MPH or a KPH will appear

when the speed is displayed to show which unit of

measurement is selected. To change the unit of

measurement, press and hold the On/Reset button

for ten seconds.

• Calories—This mode displays the approximate num-

ber of calories you have burned.

• Fat calories—This mode displays the approximate

number of fat calories you have burned (see FAT

BURNING on page 12).

• Pulse—This mode displays your heart rate when the

thumb pulse sensor is used (see step 3 on page 10).

BATTERY INSTALLATION

The console requires four “D” batteries. To install bat-

teries, refer to assembly step 5 on page 7.

HOW TO OPERATE THE CONSOLE

Note: If there is a piece of clear plastic on the face of

the console, remove it before operating the console.

1. To turn on the

power, press

the On/Reset

button or begin

pedaling.

2. Begin exercising and monitor your progress with the

two displays.

Left display—

This display

shows the

elapsed time

and the dis-

tance that you

have pedaled.

The display will

change from

one number to the other every seven seconds, as

shown by the indicators in the display.

Right display—

This display

shows your

pedaling speed

and the approx-

imate numbers

of calories and

fat calories you

have burned.

When the thumb pulse sensor is used, the display

will also show your heart rate (see step 3 at the

right). Every seven seconds, the display will change

from one number to the next, as shown by the indi-

cators in the display.

To reset the displays at any time, press the

On/Reset button.

3. Measure your heart rate, if desired.

To measure

your heart rate,

stop pedaling

and place your

thumb on the

pulse sensor as

shown. The

pulse sensor is

pressure activat-

ed—fully press it down. Do not press too hard, or

the circulation in your thumb will be restricted,

and your pulse will not be detected. Next, raise

your thumb slightly until the heart-shaped indicator

in the right display flashes steadily. Hold your

thumb at this

level. After a few

seconds, two

dashes will

appear in the

display, and

then your heart

rate will be

shown. Hold

your thumb on

the pulse sensor for another 15 seconds for the

most accurate reading. If the displayed heart rate

appears to be too high or too low, or if your heart

rate is not displayed, lift your thumb off the pulse

sensor and allow the display to reset. Press down

again on the pulse sensor as described above.

Make sure that you are applying the proper amount

of pressure to the pulse sensor. Try the pulse sensor

several times until you become familiar with it.

Remember to sit still while measuring your heart

rate.

4. To turn off the power, simply wait for a few minutes.

The console has an “auto-off” feature. If the

pedals are not moved and the On/Reset button

is not pressed for a few minutes, the power will

turn off automatically to conserve the batteries.
