This guide provides you with basic information for using and enjoying your new mechaine.
Place the exercise bike on a level surface. There should be one foot in front of the exercise bike for the power card. For ease of access, there should be an accessible space preferentially on both sides of the exercise bike equal to 30^ (915 mm) to allow a user access to the machine from the outside. The machine should be located at least 20 meters away from the outdoor exercise bike entrance. The exercise bike should not be located in a garage, covered palis, near water or outdoors.
MOVING THE EXERCISE BIKE
Your exercise bike has a pair of transport wheels built into the front stabilizer tube. Remove the power supply before attempting to move the bike.
WARNING
Our exercise sikes are heavy, use care and additional help if necessary.
When moving, Failure to follow these instructions could result in injury.
Your exercise bike should be level for optimum use. Place your exercise bike where you intend to use it. Adjust the two rear levers so that the bike is level on the floor. Then adjust the third lever located under the base frame tube just so it is snug with the floor. Once you have levated your exercise bike, place it on the ground and use the nuts against the frame. Actual levers may differ from image below and may not include the lock.
LOCK ADJUSTMENT
SEAT POSITIONING
To determine proper sepal position, sit on the seat and position the ball of your foot on the center of the pedal. Your knee should bend slightly at the furthest pedal position. You should be able to pedal without locking your knees or shifting your weight from side to side. NOTE: It is recommended that you do not sit on the seat while adjusting its position.
UPRIGHT BIKES - SEAT ADJUSTMENT
Upright Sikcs feature a locking seat adjustment knob to easily and safely adjust the seat height. To adjust, get off the bike seat and loosen the adjustment knob by turning it two half turns counter-clockwise. Pull out the knob to unlock the post, and adjust the post up or down to the desired setting. Release the knob to lock in place. Turn the knob clockwise until lightened. Please check to be sure seat post is locked in place before each use.
RECUMBENT BIKES - SEAT ADJUSTMENT
Turn the handle up into its middle position making the handle feel loose. Then, slide the seal to a position that puts you in a comfortable position. The handle is then bent (right bent in your knee while your legs are in the extended position). Look the mechanism by rotating it down until handle lighten up.
RECUMBENT BIKES - MESH SEAT BACK ADJUSTMENT
Some Recumbent Bikes are equipped with a sitting mesh seat back. Fit adjustments are made with a rotating lever on the user's right side, located slightly behind the handbarrel. Not all mesh seat backs have an adjustment lever so check the ASSEMBLY GUIDE.
To adjust the tilt angle of the seat back, rotate the lever down (counter-clock wise) and lean back on the mesh seat back until the desired position is achieved. When the position is set, rotate the lever upward (clock wise) until it is snug. The seat back comes equipped with a spring return system to return the seat back to its original position when the adjustment lever is reloaded and the user is not leaning against the seat back.
POWER
Your exercise bike is powered by a power supply. The power must be plugged into the power jack, which is located in the front of the machine near the stabilizer tube. Unpin cord when not in use.
WARNING
Never operate product if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been damaged, or immersed in water. Please reference contact information on the INFORMATION CARD for assistance.
USING THE HEART RATE FUNCTION
Your exercise bike could be equipped with either heart rate pulse gyrs or a thumb pulse sensor. To find out what your model has, refer to the beginning of the ASSEMBLY section of your ASSEMBLY GUIDE.
The heart rate function on this product is not a medical device. While heart rate grips or a thumb pulse sensor can provide a relative estimation of your actual heart rate, they should not be relied on when accurate readings are necessary. Some people, including those in a cardiac rehab program, may benefit from using an alternate heart rate monitoring system like a chest or wrist strap. Various factors, including movement of the user, may affect the accuracy of your heart rate reading. The heart rate reading is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general. Please consult your physician.
PULSE GRIPS
Place the aim of your hands directly on the grip pulse handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars for your heart rate to register. It takes 5 consecutive heart beats (15-20 seconds) for your heart rate to register. When gripping the pulse handlebars, do not grip tightly. Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure. Keep a loose, cupping hold. You may experience an erratic readout if consistently holding the grip pulse handlebars. Make sure to clean the pulse sensors to ensure proper contact can be maintained.
THUMB PULSE
Place and hold your thumb LIGHTLY over the thumb sensor. The sensor may not work properly if you prees too hard. The sensor window should be completely covered by your finger. Wait for a few seconds, and your heart rate will show in the heart rate window. The thumb sensor can also read a pulse from your index finger.
CAUTION
Do not press excessively hard on the sensor as this may cause damage.
Some exercise bikes also include a built-in wireless heart rate receiver. When used in conjunction with a wireless chest transmitter, your heart rate can be transmitted wirelessly to the exercise bike and displayed on the console. Your exercise bike may or may not include a wireless chest transmitter (see the beginning of the ASSEMBLY section of your ASSEMBLY GUIDE).
Prior to wearing the wireless chest transmitter on your chest, moisten the two rubber electrodes with water. Center the chest strap just below the breast or peridural muscles, directly over your sternum, with the legs facing out. NOTE: The chest strap must be light and properly placed in a comfortable position and consistent residual. If the chest strap is too loose, or positioned improperly, you may receive an erratic or inconsistent heart rate readout.

COMMON PRODUCT QUESTIONS
ARE THE SOUNDMY EXERCISE BIKE MAKES NORMAL?
Our exercise bikes are some of the quietest available because they use bell drives and friction free magnetic resistance. We use the highest grade bearings and belts to minimize noise. However, because the resistance system itself is so quiet, you will occasionally hear other slight mechanical noises. Unlike older, louder technologies, there are no fans, friction belts, or alternator noises to mask these sounds on our exercise bikes. These mechanical noises, which may or may not be intermittent, are normal and are caused by the transfer of significant amounts of energy to a rapidly spinning flywheel. All bearings, belts and other rotating parts will generate some noise which will transmit through the casing and frame. It is also normal for these sounds to change slightly during a workout and over time because of thermal expansion of the parts.
WHY IS THE EXERCISE BIKE I HAD DELIVERED LOUDER THAN THE ONE AT THE STORE?
All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is generally more background noise than your home. Also, there will be less reverberation on a carpeted concrete floor than on a wood overlay floor. Sometimes a heavy rubber mat will help reduce reverberation through the floor. If a fitness product is placed close to a wall, there will be more reflected
HOW LONG WILL THE DRIVE BELT LAST?
The computer modelling we have done indicated virtually thousands of maintenance free hours. You should not have to replace the treet as long as you have the exercise bike.
CAN I MOVE THE EXERCISE BIKE EASILY ONCE IT IS ASSEMBLED?
Your exercise bike has a pair of transport wheels built into the front stabilizer tube. Please follow the MOVING THE EXERCISE BIKE section to transport your exercise bike. It is important that you place your exercise bike in a comfortable and inviting room. Your exercise bike is designed to use minimal floor space. Many people will place their exercise bikes facing the TV or a picture window. If at all possible, avoid putting your exercise bike in an unfinished basement. To make exercise a desirable daily activity for you, the exercise bike should be in a comfortable setting.
