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. Try to work out even when you do not want to. 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 or forward on the recumbent bike. If your leg is bent too much, move the seat up on the upright bike or backward on the recumbent bike. Step off the bike before you adjust the seat. Upright 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. Do not set the Seat Post position higher than the stop mark (MAX) on the tube. Recumbent Pull the adjustment knob on the seat bracket. Slide the seat to the desired position. The adjustment knob will "pop" into the next hole. Turn the knob to fully tighten and make sure the seat is stable. Note: Different models can have the knob on the top or the side of the seat bracket. 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 Mode The Console operates on (4) D sized batteries. Once installed, the Console will enter POWER-UP mode if any button is pushed, or if it receives an indication from the RPM sensor as a result of pedaling the machine. Note: An optional power adapter is available from www.schwinnfitness.com/powersupply or call 1(800) 605-3369. Auto Shut-Off (Sleep Mode) If the Console does not receive any input in approximately 5 minutes, it will automatically shut off. The LCD display is off while in Sleep Mode. Note: The Console does not have an On/Off switch. 9
