Follow the on-line instructions to start the program. When you start the program, an on-screen countdown will begin. Return to the exercise cycle and begin exercising. When the on-screen countdown ends, the program will begin. The program will function in almost the same way as a Smart program (refer to step 3 on page 13). However, an electronic “chirping” sound will alert you when the resistance and/or the pace setting is about to change. Follow your progress with the feedback modes. Refer to step 4 on page 12. Measure your heart rate if desired. Refer to step 5 on page 12. When you are finished exercising, the console will automatically turn off. Refer to step 6 on page 12. 10 9 19 20 Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the exercise cycle regularly. To clean the exercise cycle, use a soft, damp cloth. Keep liquids away from the console and keep the console out of direct sunlight to prevent damage to the console. HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH If the console does not display correct feedback, the reed switch should be adjusted. To adjust the reed switch, you must first remove the Right Side Shield (8). Remove the two M4 x 16mm Screws (63) and the M4 x 38mm Screw (66) from the Right Side Shield. Next, remove the Screws (63, 66 [not shown]) from the Left Side Shield (7). Using an adjustable wrench, turn the Right Pedal (17) counterclockwise and remove it. Rotate the Right Crank Arm (23) so that it is pointing toward the front of the exercise cycle, and slide off the Right Side Shield. Next, locate the Reed Switch (64). Turn the Right Crank Arm (23) until the Magnet (46) is aligned with the Reed Switch. Loosen, but do not remove, the indicated M4 x 16mm Screw (63). Slide the Reed Switch slightly closer to or away from the Magnet. Then, retighten the Screw. Turn the Right Crank Arm for a moment. Repeat until the console displays correct feedback. When the Reed Switch is correctly adjusted, reattach the right side shield and the right pedal. HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT If you can feel the pedals slip while you are pedaling, even when the resistance is adjusted to the highest level, the Drive Belt (20) may need to be adjusted. To adjust the Drive Belt, you must first remove the right side shield. Refer to HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH at the left and remove the right side shield. Next, turn the indicated M8 Nylon Locknut (60) until the Drive Belt (20) is properly tightened. Then, reattach the right side shield. PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING • Avoid moving your hands while using the pulse sensor. Excessive movement may interfere with heart rate readings. Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so may interfere with heart rate readings. • For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the metal contacts for about 15 seconds. • For optimal performance of the pulse sensor, keep the metal contacts clean. The contacts can be cleaned with a soft cloth—never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING 66 63 63 60 23 17 7 8 64 23 63 46 20 CONDITIONING GUIDELINES WARNING: • Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems. • The pulse sensor is not a medical device. Various factors may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general. The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for successful results. EXERCISE INTENSITY Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity. The proper intensity level can be found by using your heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recommended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise. During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest number in your training zone as you exercise. For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the middle number in your training zone as you exercise. Aerobic Exercise If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the highest number in your training zone as you exercise. WORKOUT GUIDELINES Each workout should incl...
