ADJUSTMENT AND OPERATION
DESCRIPTION OF THE MONITOR
The monitor offers four modes to provide you with
instant exercise feedback:
• Reps/Min—This
mode displays
your current
pace, in repeti-
tions per minute.
• Time—This mode
displays the
length of time you
have exercised.
Note: If you stop
exercising for ten
seconds or
longer, the time mode will pause until you resume.
• Count—This mode displays the total number of rep-
etitions you have completed, up to 9,999. The dis-
play will then reset to zero and continue counting.
• Scan—This mode displays the reps/min, time, and
count modes, for approximately 6 seconds each, in
a repeating cycle.
HOW TO OPERATE THE MONITOR
1. To turn on the power, press the select button or
simply begin exercising.
2. Select the desired mode:
To select the reps/min, time, or count mode, press
the select button repeatedly until an arrow points to
the desired mode. Make sure that there is not an
arrow pointing to the word “scan.”
To select the scan mode, press the select button
repeatedly until an arrow points to the word “scan.”
A second arrow will show which mode is currently
displayed.
To reset the time and count modes to zero, hold
down the select button for two seconds.
3. The monitor has an “auto-off” feature. If the
pedals are not moved and the select button is not
pressed for four minutes, the power will turn off
automatically in order to conserve the batteries.
ADJUSTING THE SEAT
The position of the
seat can be adjust-
ed to accommo-
date different
users. To adjust the
seat, loosen the
knob under the
seat, move the seat
to the desired posi-
tion, and retighten
the knob. To deter-
mine if the seat is
properly adjusted,
sit on the seat and pull the handlebar as close as
possible to your stomach. Your legs should be almost
straight, but your knees should not be locked.
ADDING AND REMOVING WEIGHT
The HEALTHRIDER
®
features a weight
bar that lets you
intensify your exer-
cise by adding
weights. To add
weights, slide the
desired amount of
weight onto the
weight bar. Secure
the weights with the
lock collars. Note:
Place an equal
amount of weight on each side of the weight bar.
The total combined weight of the user and added
weights should not exceed 300 pounds.
