HOW TO USE THE PROFORM¨485E

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE 485E

To mount the 485E, firmly hold the handlebars or the

T-handle and carefully step onto the pedal that is in

the lowest position. Next, step onto the other pedal.

Push the pedals until they begin to move with a con-

tinuous motion. Note: The pedal disks can turn in

either direction; it is recommended that you turn

the pedal disks in the direction shown below;

however, to give variety to your exercise, you may

choose to turn the pedal disks in the opposite

direction.

To dismount the 485E, allow the pedals to come to a

complete stop. CAUTION: The 485E does not have

a freewheel; the pedals will continue to move until

the flywheel stops. When the pedals are stationary,

step off the highest pedal first. Then, step off the low-

est pedal.

HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE OF THE

PEDALS

As you exercise,

you can adjust

the resistance of

the pedals with

the resistance

knob on the

console. To

increase the

resistance,

turn the knob

clockwise; to

decrease the

resistance, turn the knob counterclockwise.

DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE

The console is designed to help you get the most

from your workouts. As you exercise, you can watch

your progress around the LED track, while the

display provides continuous exercise feedback.

The six modes of the display are described below.

SpeedÑThis mode displays your current exercise

speed, in miles per hour.

TimeÑThis mode displays the length of time you

have exercised. Note: If you stop exercising, the time

mode will pause until you resume.

DistanceÑThis mode displays the total distance you

have completed, in miles.

LapsÑThis mode displays the number of 1/4-mile

laps you have completed around the LED track.

CalorieÑThis mode displays the approximate number

of Calories you have burned.

ScanÑThis mode displays the speed, time, distance,

laps, and calorie modes, for 5 seconds each, in a

repeating cycle.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

Before the console can be operated, two ÒAAÓ batter-

ies must be installed. If you have not installed batter-

ies, see assembly step 8 on page 8.

HOW TO OPERATE THE CONSOLE

If there is a thin sheet of clear plastic on the face of

the console, remove it.

1. To turn on the power, press the on/reset button or

simply begin exercising. When the power is turned

on, one LED indicator will light in the LED track,

and the entire display will appear for two seconds.

The console will then be ready for operation.

2. Select one of the five modes:

Scan modeÑ

When the power

is turned on, the

scan mode will

automatically be

selected. One

mode indicator

will show that the

scan mode is selected, and a flashing mode indica-

tor will show which mode is currently displayed.

Note: If a different mode is selected, you can

select the scan mode again by repeatedly pressing

the mode button.

Speed, time,

distance, laps,

or calorie modeÑ

To select one of

these modes for

continuous

display, press the

mode button repeatedly. The mode indicators will

show which mode is selected. (Make sure that the

scan mode is not selected.)

3. The LED track represents a distance of 1/4 mile. As

you exercise, the indicators around the track will

light one at a time until you have completed 1/4

mile. A new lap will then begin.

4. To reset the display, press the on/reset button.

5. To turn off the power, simply wait for about four

minutes. Note: The console has an Òauto-offÓ

feature. If the pedals are not moved and the

console buttons are not pressed for four

minutes, the power will turn off automatically

in order to conserve the batteries.
