How Often Should You Exercise
Consult a physician before you start an exercise program. Stop exercising if you feel pain or tightness in
your chest, become short of breath, or feel faint. Contact your doctor before you use the machine again.
Use the values calculated or measured by the machine’s computer for reference purposes only. The heart
rate displayed is an approximation and should be used for reference purposes only.
• 3 times a week for 20 minutes each day.
• Schedule workouts in advance and try to follow the schedule.

leg should be bent slightly at the knee.
2. If your leg is too straight or your foot cannot touch the Pedal, you need to move the seat
downward. If your leg is bent too much, you need to move the seat upward.
Step off the machine before you adjust the seat.
3. Loosen and pull the Seat Post Adjustment Knob on the Seat Post. Adjust the seat to the
desired height.
Do not lift the Seat post above the “STOP” mark on the Seat Post.
4. Release the Seat Post Adjustment Knob to engage the locking pin. Be sure that the pin is fully engaged and fully
tighten the adjustment knob.
Foot Position / Pedal Strap Adjustment

To increase the air resistance and workload, increase your level of activity. Toexerciseallthemusclegroupsinyourarms,
alter your grasp to palms up for part of the workout.
When done with your workout, reduce the Resistance Fan speed until the machine fully stops.
This bike cannot stop the Pedals independently of the Resistance Fan. Reduce the pace to slow the Resis-
tance Fan and Pedals to a stop. Do not dismount the bike until the Pedals have come to a complete stop.
Locking the Fan Assembly / Storage
When the machine is not in use, be sure to lock the Fan Assembly with the Transport and Immobilization Strap. The fan
assembly should be locked for storage of the machine.
For safe storage of the machine, remove the batteries
and install the Transport and Immobilization Strap to
secure the Resistance Fan. Place the machine in a
secure location away from children and pets. Be aware
that the Pedals, Handlebars and Resistance Fan are
connected and when any of these parts move the
others do as well.
To lock the Fan Assembly:
1. Move the Handlebars so that one Handlebar is as close as
possible to the Console Support Bar.
2. WraptheTransportandImmobilizationStrap(T)aroundthe
Handlebar and the Console Support Bar and put the end of
the strap through the metal ring. Tighten the strap to prevent
movement of the handlebars and secure the strap.
