HOW TO OPERATE THE RECUMBENT CYCLE HOW TO ADJUST THE POSITION OF THE SEAT For effective exercise, the seat should be in the proper position. Seat As you pedal, there should be a slight bend in your knees when the pedals are in the farthest posi- tion. IMPORTANT: After you adjust the position of the seat, Seat Knob make sure that your knees will not hit the console when you pedal. To adjust the seat, first turn the seat knob counterclockwise two or three turns to loosen it (if the seat knob is not loosened enough, the seat knob may scratch the frame). Next, pull the seat knob, slide the seat to the desired position, and release the seat knob. Make sure to move the seat back and forth slightly until it locks in position.

The innovative console offers an impressive array of features to help you get the most from your workouts. When the manual program is selected, you can adjust the pedaling resistance with a touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will display your pedaling speed, the number of Calories you have burned, the elapsed time and the distance you have pedaled. You can even measure your heart rate using the built-in pulse sensor. The console also offers ten preset workout programs. Five programs automatically change the pedaling resistance as they guide you through effective workouts, and five programs automatically adjust the pedaling resistance to keep your heart rate near a preselected level during your workouts. Note: Before the console can be operated, two "AA" batteries must be installed. See assembly step 4 on page 6 for installation instructions. HOW TO USE THE MANUAL PROGRAM 1 Turn on the power To turn on the power, press any button on the console or simply begin pedaling. Note: If batteries were just installed, the power will already be on. 2 Select the manual program Each time the power is turned on, the manual program will automatically be selected, as shown by the "P-1" in the display. (P-1 is the manual program.) If you have selected a different program, select the manual mode again by pressing the program button repeatedly until the "P-1" reappears. 3 Begin pedaling and adjust the resistance of the pedals as desired As you exercise, press the resistance + and - buttons to adjust the resistance of the pedals. Note: After the buttons are pressed, it may take a moment for the selected resistance setting to be reached. 4 Follow your progress with the console display As you exercise, the matrix on the left side Matrix of the display will show your progress. During the first minute that you pedal, the first column of the matrix will flash; during the second minute, the second column will flash; during the third minute, the third col- umn will flash, and so on, until the tenth column is flashing. After you have pedaled for ten min- utes, the matrix will reset and the first column will begin to flash again. The matrix will also show the resistance level of the pedals. As you press the resistance + or - button, the height of the columns in the matrix will increase or decrease. In addition to the matrix, the display will show your pedaling speed, the number of Calories you have burned, the elapsed time and the distance you have pedaled. The display will also show your heart rate when the pulse sensor is used (see step 5). Note: The console can display speed in miles per hour, kilometers per hour or repetitions per minute. The letters "MPH," "KMH," or "RPM" will appear in the display to show which unit of measurement is 9
