MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLE-SHOOTING This exercise bike is designed to be virtually maintenance-free. Make sure that all parts are tightened securely before each use. Apply a few drops of multi-purpose oil to the chain every three months through the opening between the side shields. The bike can be cleaned using a damp cloth and non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents. If the chain becomes loose, undo the axle nuts and pull the flywheel forward. Align the flywheel with the frame and retighten the axle nuts. If the electronic monitor does not function properly, test the monitor using new batteries. Most problems are the result of drained batteries. Store the exercise bike in a cool, dry location, out of direct sunlight. Remove the batteries from the electronic monitor when storing the bike for extended periods of time. CONDITIONING GUIDELINES The following guidelines will help you to plan and regulate your personal fitness program. However, before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. Remember that adequate rest and good nutrition are also essential to the success of any fitness program. EXERCISE INTENSITY To maximize health benefits from exercising, your level of exertion must exceed mild demands while falling short of causing 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 between 70% and 85% of your maximum heart rate. This is your "Training 8 Zone."
