HOW TO ADJUST THE POSITION OF THE SEAT
For effective exercise, the seat should be in the proper
position. As you pedal, there should be a slight bend
in your knees when the pedals are the farthest away.
To adjust the seat, lift the seat tab in front of the seat,
slide the seat to the desired position, and then
release the seat tab. Important: After you adjust the
seat, make sure that your knees will not hit the
console when you pedal.
The advanced console offers a selection of features
designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and
effective. When the manual mode of the console is
selected, the resistance of the pedals can be adjusted
with a touch of a button. As you exercise, the console
will provide continuous exercise feedback. You can
even measure your heart rate using the built-in hand-
grip pulse sensor. (For information about an optional
chest pulse sensor, refer to page 11.)
Seat
Seat
Tab
The console also offers four Smart workout programs.
Each program automatically changes the resistance of
the pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease
your pace as it guides you through an effective workout.
Note: The console requires four “D” batteries (see
assembly step 3 on page 5 for battery installation
instructions). If there is a thin sheet of clear plastic on
the face of the console, remove it. The console can
show speed and distance in either miles or kilome-
ters. To change the unit of measurement, hold
down the Reset button for six seconds. When the
batteries are replaced, it may be necessary to rese-
lect the desired unit of measurement.

The display will also show your heart rate when
you use the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional
chest pulse sensor. Mode indicators will appear
to show which feedback mode is currently shown.
Note: Each time the resistance level changes, the
console will show the resistance level for six sec-
onds. When a Smart program is selected, the dis-
play will show the time remaining in the program
instead of the elapsed time.
When you are finished exercising, the console

The profiles in the center of the console show
how the resistance of the pedals and the target
pace will change during the Smart programs. For
example, profile number 3 shows that during

increase during the first half of the program, and
then gradually decrease; the target pace will alter-

Smart program consists of either twenty or thirty,
one-minute periods. One resistance setting and
one pace setting are programmed for each peri-
od. (The same resistance setting and/or pace set-
ting may be programmed for consecutive peri-
ods.)
See step 6 on page 10.
THE OPTIONAL CHEST PULSE SENSOR
The optional chest pulse sensor provides hands-free
operation and continuously monitors your heart rate
during your workouts. To purchase the chest pulse
sensor, call toll-free 1-800-734-2377.
During the program, the resistance of the pedals
will automatically change as shown by the applic-
able profile on the console. Note: If the current
resistance level is too high or too low, you can
change the resistance level by pressing the +
and – buttons. However, when the current period
of the program is completed, the resistance level
will automatically change if a different resistance
setting is programmed for the next period.
The target pace settings for the program will be
shown by the right pace indicator in the display
(see the drawing at the upper right). The left pace
indicator will show your actual exercise pace. As
the right pace indicator changes in height, simply
adjust your pace so that both pace indicators are

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the recumbent
cycle regularly. To clean the recumbent cycle, use a
soft, damp cloth.
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, the Left Side Shield (4) must be removed.
Using an adjustable wrench, turn the Left Pedal (69)
clockwise and remove it. Next, remove the indicated
Screws (64, 76). Turn the Left Crank Arm (51) so that
it is pointing toward the front of the recumbent cycle
and then slide off the Left Side Shield.
To prevent damage to the console, keep liquids away
from the console, keep the console out of direct sun-
light, and remove the batteries when storing the
recumbent cycle.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the console display becomes dim, the batteries
should be replaced. Refer to assembly step 3 on
page 5 for replacement instructions.

PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
76
• Avoid moving your hands while using the pulse sen-
sor. Excessive movement may interfere with heart
rate readings.
• Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so
may interfere with heart rate readings.
69
76
• For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the
metal contacts for about 15 seconds.
76
64
• 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.
Next, locate the Reed Switch (61). Turn the Left
Crank Arm (51) until the Magnet (59) is aligned with
the Reed Switch. Loosen, but do not remove, the indi-
cated Screw (64). Slide the Reed Switch slightly clos-
er to or away from the Magnet. Retighten the Screw.
Turn the Crank for a moment. Repeat until the con-
sole displays correct feedback. When the Reed
Switch is correctly adjusted, reattach the left side
shield and the left pedal.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WARNING:
Fat Burning
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative-
ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener-
gy. 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 num-
ber or the middle number in your training zone as you
exercise.
• Before beginning this or any exercise pro-
gram, consult your physician. This is espe-
cially important for individuals over the
age of 35 or individuals withpre-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 deter-
mining heart rate trends in general.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-
tem, 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.
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 recom-
mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat burn-
ing, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your
body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in prepa-
ration for exercise.
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 min-
utes of exercising with your heart rate in your training
zone. (During the first few weeks of your exercise pro-
gram, do not keep your heart rate in your training
zone for longer than 20 minutes.)
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This
will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will
help to prevent post-exercise problems.
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the
nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers above
your age; the three numbers are your “training zone.”
The lowest number is the recommended heart rate for
fat burning; the middle number is the recommended
heart rate for maximum fat burning; and the highest
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three work-
outs each week, with at least one day of rest between
workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you
may complete up to five workouts each week, if
desired. The key to success is make exercise a regu-
lar and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
