Frequently Asked Questions - SP-310 M2 LifeSpan

How do I adjust the resistance (tension) on the LifeSpan SP-310 M2?

Turn the tension control knob (pt.25) clockwise to increase resistance and counterclockwise to decrease resistance. Adjust while pedaling for smooth transition.

How do I use the emergency brake?

Firmly press down on the emergency brake knob (pt.24) located on the handlebar stem. This stops the flywheel immediately for safety.

How do I set up and operate the computer?

Press the mode key to turn on the display. It shows scan mode by default, cycling through time, speed, distance, calories, and pulse. Press mode key repeatedly to select a specific parameter. Hold the mode key for 3+ seconds to reset all values.

Why is my heart rate reading inaccurate or not working?

Hand pulse sensors require consistent contact on all four pads. Ensure your hands are not too dry or too wet. Movement and static electricity can affect readings. For best results, hold still and breathe normally.

How should I maintain and clean the bike?

Regularly check and tighten all nuts and bolts. Lubricate moving joints with grease periodically. Wipe the frame with a dry cloth. Lubricate the flywheel after periods of use to keep it smooth.

What is the maximum user weight for this bike?

The manual does not specify a maximum weight, but for similar spinning bikes it is typically around 120 kg (265 lbs). Always ensure the bike is on a level surface.

How do I assemble the bike?

Follow the 4-step assembly in the manual: attach stabilizers to main frame, install seat post and seat, install handlebar post and handlebar with computer, then attach pedals (right pedal clockwise, left pedal anticlockwise). Use the provided tools.

Is the bike noisy?

The flywheel uses friction brakes which can produce some noise. Proper lubrication of the flywheel and chain can reduce noise. Ensure all bolts are tight.

Can I use rechargeable batteries?

No, the manual states do not use rechargeable batteries. Use standard alkaline AA batteries, and do not mix old and new or different types.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Contact the original place of purchase or visit the Lifespan Fitness website (warranty-form page) to order replacement parts or request service. Have your model and proof of purchase ready.

VII. EXERCISE GUIDE

Using your SPINNING BIKE provides you with several benefits, it will improve your physical fitness, tone muscle and in conjunction with calorie controlled diet help you lose weight.

Four sequential line drawings of a person performing a stretching or martial arts pose, no text or symbols present.

THE WARM UP PHASE

This stage helps get the blood flowing around the body and the muscles working properly. It will also reduce the risk of cramp and muscle injury. It is advisable to do a few stretching exercises as shown below. Each stretch should be held for approximately 30 seconds, do not force or jerk your muscles into a stretch - if it hurts, STOP.

THE EXERCISE PHASE

This is the stage where you put the effort in. After regular use, the muscles in your legs will become Stronger. Work to your but it is very important to maintain a steady tempo throughout. The rate of work should be sufficient to raise your heart beat into the target zone shown on the graph below.

This stage should last for a minimum of 12 minutes for most people.

MUSCLE TONING

To tone muscle while on your SPINNING BIKE you will need to have the resistance set quite high. This will put more strain on our leg muscles and may mean you cannot train for as long as you would like. If you are also trying to improve your fitness you need to alter your training program. You should train as normal during the warm up and cool down phases, but towards the end of the exercise phase you should increase resistance, making your legs work harden than normal. You may have to reduce your speed to keep your heart rate in the target zone.

WEIGHT LOSS

The important factor here is the amount of effort you put in. The harder and longer you work the more calories you will burn. Effectively this is the same as if you were training to improve your fitness, the difference is the goal.

USE

The tension control knob allows you to alter the resistance of the pedals. A high resistance makes it more difficult to pedal, a low resistance makes it easier. For the best results set the tension while the bike is in use.

X. HAND PULSE TECHNOLOGY

This product comes equipped with hand pulse sensors which are used to pick up tiny EKG/ECG signals that run through the body when your heart beats. These electrical EKG/ECG signals are very small and that they must be amplified 1000 times to make the signal useful for the computer to display your pulse.

To ensure proper operation:

• The user must maintain good, consistent contact on all four sensors.
• The users skin cannot be too dry or too wet.

Other factors that could affect the reading:

• Change of grip on the sensors (during slow pace walking and up to running).
• Tightening of hand muscles will produce small electrical signals.
• Static electricity charges from the air or from walking on the treadmill.

EKG/ECG Sensors may filter through actual EKG/ECG signals and "Noise" factors that may affect the reading. This will cause the pulse reading to be delayed and will take longer to update the display as the heart rate changes. Too much noise will create an incorrect reading. Medical conditions or having no electrical signal in the hands are other factors that may affect pulse readings as well.

These are limitations of hand pulse technology and even the most expensive systems (which can cost upwards of \$3,000) used in hospitals have the same problems. The difference is that a patient in a hospital is not running on a treadmill. Hand pulse technology works well on stationary exercise machines like bikes and even elliptical cross trainers but are not perfect on a treadmill. We offer treadmills with a wireless heart rate receiver which may be a more accurate option.

To test if your hand pulse sensors are working up to specification, hold them while standing on the sidestep rails, not walking, and see if the reading is more in line with what you would expect. This will eliminate the movement and static electricity factors. If your hands are dry, then wet them slightly (saliva works as a great conductor if this doesn't bother you).
