OpERATIONS

What to Wear
Wear rubber-soled athletic shoes. You will need the appropriate clothes for exercise that allow you to move freely.
How Often Should You Exercise
Consult a physician before you start an exercise program. Stop exercising if you feel pain or tightness in your chest, become
short of breath, or feel faint. Contact your doctor before you use the machine again. Use the values calculated or measured
by the machine's computer for reference purposes only.
• 3 times a week for 30 minutes each day.
• Schedule workouts in advance and try to follow the schedule.
Seat Adjustment
Correct seat placement encourages exercise efficiency and comfort, while reducing the risk of
injury.
1. With a Pedal in the forward position, center the ball of your foot over the center of it. Your leg
should be bent slightly at the knee.
2. If your leg is too straight or your foot cannot touch the Pedal, move the seat down on the upright
bike. If your leg is bent too much, move the seat up.
Step off the bike before you adjust the seat.
!
Loosen and pull the adjustment knob on the seat tube. Adjust the seat to the desired height.
Release the adjustment knob to engage the locking pin. Be sure that the pin is fully engaged and
fully tighten the knob.
Foot Position / Pedal Strap Adjustment
Foot pedals with straps provide secure footing to the exercise bike.
1. Put the ball of each foot on the Pedals.
2. Rotate the Pedals until one can be reached.
3. Fasten the strap over the shoe.
4. Repeat for the other foot.
Be sure toes and knees point directly forward to ensure maximum Pedal efficiency. Pedal straps can
be left in position for subsequent workouts.
Power-Up / Idle Mode
The Console will enter Power-Up Mode if it is plugged into a power source, any button is pushed, or
if it receives a signal from the RPM sensor as a result of pedaling the machine.
