Belt Adjustment Screw (72) until the Drive Belt (46) is  
tight.  
If you can feel the pedals slip while you are pedaling,  
even when the resistance is adjusted to the highest  
level, the drive belt may need to be adjusted.  
To adjust the drive belt, you must remove the shield  
cover and the left shield (see the instructions below).  
46  
See EXPLODED DRAWING B on page 27. Using a  
flat screwdriver, release the tabs along the sides of the  
Shield Cover (37), and then remove the Shield Cover.  
Next, remove the M4 x 16mm Screws (92) and the M4  
x 12mm Self-tapping Screws (97) from the Left and  
Right Shields (44, 45). Make sure to note which size  
of Screw you remove from each hole. Then, gently  
remove the Left Shield.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES  
Burning FatTo burn fat effectively, you must exer-  
cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of  
time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your  
body uses 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. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your  
heart rate near the middle number in your training  
zone.  
WARNING:  
Before beginning this  
or any exercise program, consult your physi-  
cian. This is especially important for persons  
over age 35 or persons with pre-existing  
health problems.  
The heart rate monitor is not a medical device.  
Various factors may affect the accuracy of  
heart rate readings. The heart rate monitor is  
intended only as an exercise aid in determin-  
ing heart rate trends in general.  
Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your  
cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic  
exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts  
of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic  
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your  
heart rate is near the highest number in your training  
zone.  
These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise  
program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a  
reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,  
proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for  
successful results.  
WORKOUT GUIDELINES  
EXERCISE INTENSITY  
Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-  
ing and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body  
temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation  
for exercise.  
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your  
cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper inten-  
sity is the key to achieving results. You can use your  
heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level.  
The chart below shows recommended heart rates for  
fat burning and aerobic exercise.  
Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 min-  
utes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During  
the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not  
keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer  
than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you  
exercise—never hold your breath.  
Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-  
ing. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles  
and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.  
EXERCISE FREQUENCY  
To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the  
bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the near-  
est ten years). The three numbers listed above your  
age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is  
the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the  
heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest  
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.  
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three  
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest  
between workouts. After a few months of regular exer-  
cise, you may complete up to five workouts each week,  
if desired. Remember, the key to success is to make  
exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday  
life.
