HOW TO OPERATE THE EXERCISE CYCLE

HANDLEBAR OPERATION

The handlebars can be used in either the dual-action
mode, for both upper-body and lower-body exercise,
or the stationary mode, for pedaling exercise only.

Dual-action Mode

To convert the
handlebars to
the dual-
action mode,
the link arms
must be con-
nected to the
pedals. Refer
to drawing 1.
Lift the link
arms off the
lock rods.
Refer to draw-
ing 2. Pull the
link arms out-
ward against
the tops of
the red wash-
ers, while
pulling
against the
bottoms of the
red washers
with your fin-
gers as shown. Be careful not to pinch your fin-
gers. 
Next, slide the link arms onto the pedal bush-
ings. Move the link arms up and down slightly to
make sure that they are fully seated on the pedal
bushings. CAUTION: Make sure that the link arms
are fully seated on the pedal bushings. If the link
arms are not on the pedal bushings, they may slip
off during use, resulting in injury to the user.

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 red washers until
the link arms are free of the pedal bushings (see
drawing 2 above). Be careful not to pinch your fin-
gers. 
Next, lift the link arms off the pedals, and clip
them onto the lock rods (see drawing 1 above).

HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT

For effective exer-
cise, the seat must
be at the proper
height. As you
pedal, there should
be a slight bend in
your knees when
the pedals are in
the lowest position. 
To adjust the seat,
first turn the seat
knob counterclock-
wise two or three
turns to loosen it.
Next, pull the seat
knob, raise or lower the seat post, and then release
the seat knob. Move the seat post up and down
slightly until it locks into position. 
Then, tighten the
seat knob. CAUTION: Make sure that the pin on the
seat knob is inserted into one of the adjustment
holes in the seat post. Do not rest the seat post
on top of the pin on the seat knob.  

DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE

The console features six modes that provide instant
exercise feedback during your workouts. The modes
are described below.

• Time—This mode displays the elapsed time. 

• Distance—This mode displays the total distance you

have pedaled.    

• Speed—This mode displays your pedaling speed.

Note: Speed and distance can be displayed in either
miles or kilometers. An MPH or a KPH will appear
when the speed is displayed to show which unit of
measurement is selected. To change the unit of
measurement, press and hold the On/Reset button
for ten seconds. 

• Calories—This mode displays the approximate num-

ber of calories you have burned.

• Fat calories—This mode displays the approximate

number of fat calories you have burned (see FAT
BURNING on page 12).

• Pulse—This mode displays your heart rate when the

thumb pulse sensor is used (see step 3 on page 10).
