IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

1.  It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure 

that all users of the exercise bike are ade-
quately informed of all precautions. 

2.  Before beginning any exercise program, 

consult your physician. This is especially 
important for persons over age 35 or per-
sons with pre-existing health problems.

3.  Use the exercise bike only as described in this 

manual.

4.  The exercise bike is intended for home use 

only. Do not use the exercise bike in a com-
mercial, rental, or institutional setting.

5.  Keep the exercise bike indoors, away from 

moisture and dust. Do not put the exercise 
bike in a garage or covered patio, or near 
water. 

6.  Place the exercise bike on a level surface 

with at least 2 ft. (0.6 m) of clearance around 
the exercise bike. To protect the floor or 
carpet from damage, place a mat under the 
exercise bike.

7.  Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-

larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

8.  Keep children under age 12 and pets away 

from the exercise bike at all times.

9.  Wear appropriate clothes while exercising; 

do not wear loose clothes that could become 
caught on the exercise bike. Always wear 
athletic shoes for foot protection.

10. The exercise bike should not be used by 

persons weighing more than 250 lbs.
(113 kg).

11. The heart rate monitor is not a medical 

device. Various factors, including the user’’s 
movement, 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.

12. When adjusting the seat, insert the seat knob 

into one of the holes in the seat post. Do not 
insert the pin on the seat knob under the 
seat post.

13. When connecting the link arms to the pedals, 

make sure that the link arms are fully seated 
on the pedal bushings (see HANDLEBAR 
OPERATION on page 11). If the link arms 
are not on the pedal bushings, they may slip 
off during use, resulting in injury to the user.

14.  When adjusting the height of the seat, make 

sure that the pin on the seat knob is inserted 
into one of the adjustment holes in the seat 
post (see HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT on 
page 11). Do not rest the seat post on top 
of the pin on the seat knob. 

15. The exercise bike does not have a free 

wheel; the pedals will continue to move until 
the 



 ywheel stops. Reduce your pedaling 

speed in a controlled way.

16. Always keep your back straight while using 

the exercise bike; do not arch your back.

17. Over exercising may result in serious injury 

or death. If you feel faint or if you experience 
pain while exercising, stop immediately and 
cool down.
