PEDALING ADJUSTMENT As you pedal the bike, you can increase or decrease the amount of pedaling resistance using the control knob mounted on the handlebar. To increase the resistance, turn the knob clockwise. To decrease the resistance, turn the knob counterclockwise. If the range of resistance is too high or low, it can be adjusted with the tension buckle located on the frame above the flywheel. Remove the screws from the console hood and the plastic hood and lift off the hoods. Turn the resistance control knob counterclockwise until it stops, and open the tension buckle. To raise the range of resistance, pull the tension belt tighter and close the buckle. To lower the range of resistance, loosen the tension belt and close the buckle. Replace the console hood and the plastic hood. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE This exercise bike is designed to be virtually maintenance-free. Make sure that all parts are kept tightened securely. Apply a few drops of light multi-purpose oil to the chain every three months. If the chain becomes loose, undo the nuts on the ends of the flywheel axle, pull the flywheel forward until the chain is tight and retighten the nuts. Store the bike in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Remove the batteries from the electronic console during extended periods of non-iuse. CONDITIONING GUIDELINES WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program consult your physician. This is especially important for individuals over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems. The following guidelines will help you to plan and regulate your personal fitness program. Remember that adequate rest and good nutrition are also essential to the success of any fitness program. For more complete and detailed information consult your physician or obtain a book at your library. EXERCISE INTENSITY To maximize health benefits from exercising, your level of exertion must exceed mild demands while falling short of breathlessness and fatigue. The proper level of exertion can be determined using the heart rate as a guide. For effective aerobic exercise the heart rate must be maintained at a level 6 between 70% and 85% of your maximum heart rate. This is your "Training Zone."
