MANUAL RESISTANCE MODE OPERATION

1. Before turning the power on, move the manual resistance control to the lowest position.

2. Turn the power on by pressing the power key.

3. As you pedal the bike, move the manual resistance control slowly up or down Until the desired

resista.nce level is reached.

PROGRAMMABLE RESISTANCE MODE OPERATION

The programmable resistance mode allows you to create custom workout programs. Simply set the

length of time that you plan to exercise, and program eight resistance settings. With the touch of a key,

the equalizer computer takes over, controlling pedaling resistance automatically as you exercise.

1. Set the program time control for the length of time that you plan to exercise, from 5 to 40 minutes.

.Set the eight programmable resistance controls to the

desired resistance levels. The controls can be set in

an infinite variety of ways. A sample program is shown

at right. This program begins with low resistance to

give you a good warm-up. Then the resistance in-

creases gradually to simulate a challenging climb.

Next, a decrease in resistance provides a period of rest

before a final climb, and the program ends with a low

resistance setting to allow you to cool down.

_3o Press the program start/stop key and begin pedaling. The pedaling resistance will automatically

adjust to the setting of the first programmable resistance control. After one-eighth of the total time

set'has elapsed, the resistance will adjust to the setting of the second control. The console will

sequentially activate all eight controls. The indicators below the controls will show which control is

currently active. When the total time has elapsed, the exercise bike will return to the manual mode

and the indicator below the manual resistance control will light.

Note: The programmable resistance controls can be changed while the program is running if desired.

To return to bike to the manual mode before the program has ended, simply press the program

start/stop key.

ELEC'_RONIO MONITOR OPERATION

See the Electronic Monitor Operation Guide accompanying this manual.

SEAT ADJUSTMENT

Proper seat height is important for efficient exercise. As

you pedal the bike, there should be a slight bend in your

knees when the pedals are at the lowest position. To

adjust the seat height: stand beside the bike, hold onto

the seat and withdraw the seat pin. Raise or lower the

seat, and reinsert the seat pin. CAUTION: Failure to fully

insert the seat pin could result in injury.

HANDLEBAR OPERATION

The handlebars are designed to be used either in a stationary position, for pedaling exercise only, or in

a dual-action position, adding upper-body exercise to your workout.

STATIONARY MODE

To convert the handlebars to the stationary mode, the link

arms must be disconnected from the pedals. Pull the link

arms outward against the pedal washers, while pulling

against the bottom of the pedal washers with your fingers.

Lift the link arms off the pedals.

Rotate the link arms up and forward, and clip the ends of

the link arms onto the locking pegs on the bike frame. In

the stationary mode, the muscles of the legs are emphasized.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLE-SHOOTING

This exercise bike is designed to be virtually maintenance-free. Be sure that all parts are kept

tightened securely. A few drops of light multi-purpose oil should be applied to the chain every three

months through the opening in the left side shield. Place the bike in a cool, dry location, out of direct

sunlight. During periods of storage, it is recommended that the bike be covered.

If the electronic monitor appears to malfunction, the speed and power wires to the monitor should be

checked. Slide the console plate off of the bike frame, and make sure that both wires are plugged fully

into the back of the monitor. Replace the console plate on the bike frame.

If the range of pedaling resistance is too high or too low, it

can be adjusted using the tension buckle located on the

front of the bike frame above the fan guard. To raise the

range of resistance, open the tension buckle, pull the

resistance strap slightly tighter, and close the buckle. To

lower the range of resistance, open the buckle, loosen the

strap slightly, and close the buckle.
