FITNESSBIKE

FOOT PEDALS

Through research performed with a leading sports scientist and physical rehabilitation expert,

Sole engineering has developed a breakthrough in pedal design.Typical stationary exercise

bikes are wider than a normal road bike.The reason is to allow for the braking mechanism,

pulleys, drive components and plastic covers. Since the bike is wider, so is the distance between

the pedals; this width between the pedals is called the Q factor.

Sole has designed our pedal system so the Q factor is the smallest in the industry, but we did

not stop there. We have also custom designed and tooled a new pedal that provides a two

degree inward tilt to compensate for the Q factor not being perfect. Having a small Q factor in

addition to the two-degree inward tilt of the pedals puts the user into a biomechanical neutral

alignment.This means that your feet, ankles, knees and hips are lined up properly ensuring a

comfortable workout.

SEAT ADJUSTMENT

You are able to adjust the seat position while seated. Pull up on the lever located in front of the

seat and slide the carriage forward or backwards.The correct position is when there is a slight

bend in your knee when the pedal is at its farthest position forward (3 o'clock position when

looking from the right side of the bike). Release the lever and you are ready to begin.

PEDAL STRAP ADJUSTMENT

Adjust each pedal strap so that they are snug around your feet. You have the option of adjusting

the hole location on one or both sides of the pedal.

POWER UP

When power is connected to the fitness bike the console will automatically power up. These models operate on

12V/1 .SA DC which is supplied by the power pack that is connected to 115 VAC. There is a power switch located

where the line cord plugs into the unit on the front of the bike.

When it isfirst powered on, the console will perform an internal self-test. During this time all the lights will turn on.

When the lights go off, the Message Window will show a software version (i.e.:VER 1.0) and the Distance window

will display an odometer reading. The odometer reading displays how many virtual miles the fitness bike has gone.

The Time window displays how many hours the fitness bike has been used.

The odometer and time will remain displayed for only a few seconds then the console will go to the start-up dis-

play. The dot matrix display will be scrolling through the different workout profiles and the Message Window will

scroll the start-up message. You may now begin to use the console.

!!ATTENTION

Your new fitness bike console may come configured in an in-store 'display mode' of operation, where the console

will remain powered on unless the main power switch isturned off. To exit the display mode, for normal operation,

press and hold the Stop, Enter and Display keys for five seconds; the display will show: Display Mode - ON. Use

the speed Up key to change the setting to OFF then press Enter.

CONSOLEOPERATION

QUICK START

This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console

powers up you just press the Start key to begin, this will

initiate the Quick Start mode. In Quick Start the time will count

up from zero and the workload/resistance may be adjusted

manually by pressing the Level A/T buttons.The dot matrix

display will be showing a track with a blinking dot

indicating your progress as it travels around the track.

BASIC INFORMATION

The Message Window will initially display Laps completed. Each time the Display button is

pressed the next set of information will appear.The order of information displayed will be:

Speed (in mph), Level, Watts, Segment Time and Data Scan mode. In Data Scan mode, the

displayed information will change every 4 seconds in the Message Window.

The fitness bike has a built in heart rate monitoring system. Simply grasping the Contact Heart

Rate Sensors on the handle bars or wearing the chest strap transmitter will start the heart (see

Heart Rate Programs) Icon blinking (this may take a few seconds). The Pulse Window will

display your heart rate in beats per minute and the HR bar graph will show your current % in

relation to projected heart rate maximum.The chest strap is a more accurate and reliable

method of heart rate reading.The hand pulse sensors are subject to false readings depending

on user physiology and workout habits including how one grips the sensors or how sweaty

their hands are.

17 B94/R92 FITNESS BIKE

TheStop button actually has several functions. Pressing the

Stop key once during a program will Pause the program for 5

minutes. If you need to get a drink, answer the phone or any

of the many things that could interrupt your workout, this is

a great feature.To resume your workout during Pause just

press the Start key. If the Stop button is pressed twice during

a workout the program will end and a Workout Summary is

displayed.

If the Stop/Reset key is held down for 3 seconds the console will perform a complete Reset.

During data entry for a program the Stop/Reset key performs a Previous Screen function.This

allows you to go back one step in the programming each time you press the Stop key.

There is an Audio In Jack (_) on the front of the console and built-in speakers.You may plug

any low-level audio source signal into this port. Audio sources include MP3, iPod, portable radio,

CD player or even a TV or computer audio signal. There is also a Headphone Jack (G)for private

listening.

PROGRAMMING THE CONSOLE

Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to suit

your needs. Some of the information asked for is necessary to ensure the readouts are correct.

You will be asked for your Age and Weight. Entering your Age is necessary during the Heart

Rate control program to ensure the correct settings are entered in the program; entering your

Weight aides in calculating a more correct Calorie reading. Although we cannot provide an

exact calorie count we do want to be as close as possible.

A message about Calories: Calorie readings on every piece of exercise equipment, whether

it is in a gym or at home, are not accurate and tend to vary widely.They are meant only as a

guide to monitor your progress from workout to workout.The only way to measure your

calorie burn accurately as in a clinical setting connected to a host of machines.This is because

every person is different and burns calories at a different rate.

ENTERING A PROGRAM AND CHANGING SETTINGS

Press each program button to scroll through the program selections.The profile for each

program will be displayed in the dot matrix window. Press the Enter key to select a program

and begin customizing the settings. If you want to workout without entering new settings, then

just press the Start key.This will bypass the programming of data and take you directly to the

start of your workout. If you want to change the personal settings, then just follow the

instructions in the Message Window. If you start a program without changing the settings,

the default settings will be used.

Note: Age and Weight default settings will change when you enter a new number. So the last

Age and Weight entered will be saved as the new default settings. If you enter Age and Weight

the first time you use the fitness bike you will not have to enter it every time you work out

unless either Age or Weight has changed or someone else enters a different Age and Weight.

PRESET PROGRAMS

The fitness bike has Eve different programs that have been designed for a variety of workouts.

These Eve programs have factory preset work level profiles for achieving different goals.

Hill

The Hill program simulates going up and down a hill.The resistance in the pedals will

steadily increase and then decrease during the program.

B94/R92W0RK

Fat Burn

The Fat Burn program is designed, asthe name implies, to maximize the burning of fat.There are many schools

of thought on the best way to burn fat but most experts agree that a lower exertion level that stays at a steady

workload is the best. The absolute best way to burn fat is to keep your heart rate at around 60% to 70% of its

maximum potential. This program does not use heart rate but simulates a lower, steady exertion workout.

B94/R92WORK

Carclio

The Cardio program ts designed to increase your cardiovascular function and endurance.This is exercise for

your heart and lungs. It will build up your heart muscle and increase blood flow and lung capacity.This is

achieved by incorporating a higher level of exertion with slight fluctuations in work.

B94/R92WORK

Strength

The Strength program isdesigned to increase muscular strength in your lower body. This program will steadily

increase in resistance to a high level and forces you to sustain it. This isdesigned to strengthen and tone your

legs and glutes (muscles of the butt).

B94/R92WORK

Interval

The Interval program takes you through high levels of intensity followed by periods of low intensity. This

program increases your endurance by depleting your oxygen level followed by periods of recovery to replenish

oxygen. Your cardiovascular system gets programmed to use oxygen more efficiently this way. This program

also forces your body to become more efficient due to spikes in heart rate, between recovery periods. This aids

in heart rate recovery from intense activities.

HEARTRATEPROGRAMS

Before we get started, a word about Heart Rate:

The old motto, "no pain, no gain", is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits of

exercising comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of heart rate

monitors. With the proper use of a heart rate monitor, many people find that their usual choice

of exercise intensity was either too high or too low and exercise is much more enjoyable by

maintaining their heart rate in the desired benefit range.

To determine the benefit range in which you wish to train, you must first determine your

Maximum Heart Rate.This can be accomplished by using the following formula: 220 minus your

age.This will give you the Maximum Heart Rate (MHR)for someone of your age.To determine

the effective heart rate range for specific goals you simply calculate a percentage your MHR.

Your Heart rate training zone is 50% to 90% of your maximum heart rate. 60% of your MHR is

the zone that burns fat while 80% is for strengthening the cardio vascular system.This 60% to

80% is the zone to stay in for maximum benefit.

TARGET HEART _TE

TRAINING CHART

For someone who is 40 years old their

target heart rate zone is calculated:

220 - 40 = 180 (maximum heart rate)

180x.6= 108 beats per minute

(60% of maximum)

180 X.8= 144 beats per minute

(80% of maximum)

So for a 40 year old the training zone would be _0 45 so 55 80

108 to 144 beats per minute, wo,g,tLo,, Cardiovascular

2g 25 35 40 65

If you enter your age during programming the console will perform this calculation

automatically. Entering your age is used for the Heart Rate control programs. After calculating

your MHR you can decide upon which goal you would like to pursue.

The two most popular reasons for, or goals, of exercise are cardiovascular fitness (training for the

heart and lungs) and weight control.The black columns on the chart above represent the MHR

for a person whose age is listed at the bottom of each column.The training heart rate, for either

cardiovascular fitness or weight loss, is represented by two different lines that cut diagonally

through the chart. A definition of the lines'goal is in the bottom left-hand corner of the chart. If

your goal is cardiovascular fitness or if it is weight loss, it can be achieved by training at 80% or

60%, respectively, of your MHR on a schedule approved by your physician. Consult your

physician before participating in any exercise program.

With all SOLE Heart Rate Control fitness bike machines you may use the heart rate monitor

feature without using the Heart Rate Control program.This function can be used during manual

mode or during any of the nine different programs. The Heart Rate Control program

automatically controls resistance at the pedals.

B94/R92 FITNESS BIKE 22

RATE OF PERCEIVED EXERTION

Heart rate is important but listening to your body also has a lot of advantages.There are more

variables involved in how hard you should workout than just heart rate. Your stress level,

physical health, emotional health, temperature, humidity, the time of day, the last time you ate

and what you ate, all contribute to the intensity at which you should workout. If you listen to

your body, it will tell you all of these things.

The rate of perceived exertion (RPE), also know as the Borg scale, was developed by Swedish

physiologist G.A.V. Borg.This scale rates exercise intensity from 6 to 20 depending upon how

you feel or the perception of your effort.

The scale is as follows:

Rating Perception of Effort

6 Minimal

7 Very, very light

8 Very, very light +

9Very light

10 Very light +

11 Fairly light

12 Comfortable

13 Somewhat hard

14 Somewhat hard +

15 Hard

16 Hard +

17 Very hard

18 Very hard +

19 Very, very hard

20 Maximal

You can get an approximate heart rate level for each rating by simply adding a zero to each

rating. For example a rating of 12 will result in an approximate heart rate of 120 beats per

minute.Your RPE will vary depending up the factors discussed earlier.That is the major benefit

of this type of training. If your body is strong and rested, you will feel strong and your pace will

feel easier.When your body is in this condition, you are able to train harder and the RPE will

support this. If you are feeling tired and sluggish, it is because your body needs a break. In this

condition, your pace will feel harder. Again, this will show up in your RPEand you will train at

the proper level for that day.

USING T f T TT

How to wear your wireless chest strap transmitter:

Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the locking parts.

Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too

tight to remain comfortable.

Position the transmitter with the logo centered in the middle of your

body facing away from your chest (some people must

position the transmitter slightly left of center). Attach the final end

of the elastic strap by inserting the round end and, using the

locking parts, secure the transmitter and strap around your chest.

Position the transmitter immediately below the pectoral muscles.

Sweat is the best conductor to measure very minute heart beat electrical signals.

However, plain water can also be used to pre-wet the electrodes (2 ribbed oval areas on

the reverse side of the belt and both sides of the transmitter). It's also recommended that

you wear the transmitter strap a few minutes before your work out. Some users, because

of body chemistry, have a more difficult time in achieving a strong, steady signal at the

beginning. After "warming up", this problem lessens. As noted, wearing clothing over the

transmitter/strap doesn't affect performance.

Your workout must be within range - distance between transmitter/receiver - to achieve

a strong steady signal.The length of range may vary somewhat but generally stay close

enough to the console to maintain good, strong, reliable readings. Wearing the

transmitter immediately against bare skin assures you of proper operation. If you wish,

you may wear the transmitter over a shirt.To do so, moisten the areas of the shirt that the

electrodes will rest upon.

/Vote: The transmitter isautomatically activated when it detects activity from the user's heart. Additionally, it

automatically deactivates when it does not receive any activity. Although the transmitter is water resistant,

moisture can have the effect of creating false signals, so you should take precautions to completely dry the

transmitter after use to prolong battery life (estimated transmitter battery life is 2500 hours). The replacement

battery is Panasonic CR2032.

ERRATIC OPERATION

Caution! Do not use this fitness bike for Heart Rate Control unless a steady, solid Actual Heart

Rate value is being displayed. High, wild, random numbers being displayed indicate a problem.

Areas

to look for interference which may cause erratic heart rate:

1. Microwave ovens, TV's, small appliances, etc.

2. Fluorescent lights.

3. Some household security systems.

4. Perimeter fence fora pet.

5. Some people have problems with the transmitter picking up a signal from their skin. If you have problems

try wearing the transmitter upside down. Normally the transmitter will be oriented so the logo is right side

up.

6. The antenna that picks up your heart rate is very sensitive. If there is an outside noise source, turning the

whole machine 90 degrees may de-tune the interference.

7. Another Individual wearing a transmitter within 3'of your machine's console.

If you continue to experience problems contact your dealer.

GENERAL I T

Wipe down all areas in the sweat path with a damp cloth after each workout.

If a squeak, thump, clicking or rough feeling develops the main cause is most likely one of

two reasons:

I. The hardware was not sufficiently tightened during assembly. All bolts that were

installed during assembly need to be tightened as much as possible. It may be

necessary to use a larger wrench than the one provided if you cannot tighten the bolts

sufficiently. Ninety percent of calls to the service department for noise issues can be

traced to loose hardware.

II. The crank arm nut needs to be retightened

III. If squeaks or other noises persist, check that the unit is properly leveled.There are 2

leveling pads on the bottom of the rear stabilizer, use a 14mm wrench (or adjustable

wrench) to adjust the levelers.

MAINTENANCE MENU IN CONSOLE SOFTWARE
