HOW TO USE THE PROFORM

HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT
For effective exer-
cise, the Seat (8)
should be at the
proper height; as
you pedal, there
should be a slight
bend in your knees
when the pedals
are at the lowest
position. To adjust
the Seat, first turn
the Seat Knob (3)
counterclockwise
several turns to loosen it. Next, pull back the Seat
Knob, slide the Seat Post (9) to the desired height,
and release the Seat Knob. Move the Seat Post up
or down slightly until it locks into place. Turn the
Seat Knob clockwise to tighten it.
HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDALING RESISTANCE
To vary the intensi-
ty of your exercise,
the pedaling resis-
tance can be
adjusted. The
resistance is con-
trolled with the
Resistance Knob
(10). As you turn
the Knob, the win-
dow at the bottom
of the console will show which resistance level you
have selected. Level 0 is the easiest level, and level
10 is the most challenging.
HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDAL STRAPS
To adjust each
Pedal Strap (64),
pull the end of the
Pedal Strap off the
tab on the pedal.
Align the desired
hole in the Pedal
Strap with the tab
and press the
Pedal Strap back onto the tab.

DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE
The innovative
console offers a
manual mode
and three pacer
programs. The
pacer programs
are designed to
help you achieve
specific exercise
goals by pacing
your exercise.
You can choose
from a stamina-
building Interval
program, an
Aerobic program,
and a special Fat
Burn program. As
you exercise, seven monitor modes will provide con-
tinuous exercise feedback. The monitor modes are
described below:
Pulse—This mode shows your heart rate when
the pulse monitor is used.
Speed—This mode shows your pedaling pace, in
kilometres or miles per hour (see HOW TO
SELECT KILOMETRES OR MILES on page 10).
Time—If you select the manual mode, this mode
will show the elapsed time. If you select one of
the three pacer programs, this mode will count
down the time remaining in the program.
Distance—This mode shows the distance you have
pedaled, in kilometres or miles.
Lap—This mode shows the number of laps you
have completed. One lap equals 0.25 kilometres
or miles.
Calorie—This mode shows the approximate
number of calories you have burned.
Scan—This mode displays the other six modes,
for 5 seconds each, in a repeating cycle.
