I Seat adjustment
Proper seat adjustment helps ensure maximum
exercise efficiency and comfort, while reducing
the risk of injurV.
1. Place one pedal in the forward position and
center the ball of Vour foot over the center of
the pedal. Your leg should be slightlv bent at
t h e k n e e ( F i g . ' 1 ) .
2. lf your leg is too straight or Vour foot cannot
touch the pedal, you will need to move the
seat forward. lf your leg is bent too much, you
will need to move the seat backward.
3. Adjust the seat by pulling up the seat lever
located on the rider's lower right-hand-side of
the seat. slide the seat forward or backwords
as required to achieve the correct position.
Push down firmlV on the seat lever to lock the
slider position.
I Foot positioning!/pedal strap adjustment
Place the ball of each foot on the pedals.
Rotate the pedals until one foot is within arms
reach. Then, reach down carefully and fasten
the rubber strap over your shoe and secure it
to the pedal by slipping the nub at the end of
the pedal through one of the slots in the strap.
Pull down on the strap until it snaps into place
(Fig 2.). Repeat for the other foot. Keep your
knees and toes facing forward to ensure maxi-
mum pedaling efficiency. Pedal straps can be
left in place for subsequent workouts.
I Lower body workout
Once you are in position and sitting comfort-
ably, slowly begin pedaling with vour hands
resting on the handgrips. Pedal at an easy pace
with low resistance until you feel secure and
comfortable. Then try experimenting with the
range of resistance levels and the varietv of
programs available with the computer console.

I Using the SRe1s(X) Computer
Your schwinn@ sRB-1500 recumbent bike is equipped with a
versatile computer console. This console provides you with
important information about your workout as well as con-
trols the resistance levels. The following section will describe
how to utilize the many functions provided by this computer.
Keep this manual accessible for future reference, Vou will
want to experiment with the various functions while vou
become familiar with the SRB-1500 recumbent
I Computer Console DesiEln
Before we discuss using the specific function of the computer lets get familiar with the
displav and various buttons located on the console.
I LCD Display
The SRB-1500 console is shipped with a protective plastic film covering the computer
displav. Be sure to carefully remove this prior to your first use.
The large LcD (Liquid crvstal Display) screen located in the center ofthe sRB-1500 con-
sole is your information center. This display is dividecl into sections that provide infor-
mation about Vour workout and any preset information you may have input into the
computer. The display provides a large main window that indicates the workout mode,
resistance level and whether a program is running or stopped. Note that the resistance
level is shown in two ways. There are numbers indicating the resistance levels from 1
(lowest) to'16 (highest). The numbers are shown with odd numbers on the left side of
the screen and even numbers on the right side. As you increase or decrease resistance
you will see the number incrementally appear or disappear. The resistance is also shown
via the "brick road", this is a stack of black squares that will indicate the relative resis-
tance level. As more resistance is added more bricks will become black in direct relation
to the resistance number reflected on the display.
The lower portion of the LCD display provides workout routine details. This portion is
divided into five separate cells that provide different information. Let's discuss the infor-
mation provided by each of these cells starting with the first cell on the left-hand-side.
This cell orovides both RPM (Revolutions Per Minute - of the cranks) as well as vour rela-
tive speed. The computer will scroll back and forth between RPM and SPEED while you
are working out. The second cell (to the right of RPM,/SPEED)
provides the workoutTlME
and will either count down or count up the time of Vour workout depending on the
mode being usecl. To the right of the TIME cell is the wAfi/cALoRlEs cell. This cell pro-
vides the approximate wattage (workload) for a given resistance level as well as the
approximate amount of calories burned. We will discuss these functions in greater
detail later in this manual. To the right of the wATT/cALoRlEs
cell is the PULSE cell.
The PULSE cell will displav your pulse rate while riding (both of your hands must be in
contact with the grip heart rate sensors located on the handlebars for this function to
work). Your pulse rate can be utilized to enhance your training in manv ways, we will
discuss these wavs later in this manual.
