USING THE HEART RATE FUNCTION

Your exercise bike could be equipped with either heart rate pulse grips or a thumb pulse sensor. To find out what your model has, refer to the beginning of the ASSEMBLY section of your OWNER’S MANUAL. 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 palm 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. 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. Contact Your local dealer for examination and repair. 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. Unplug cord when not in use. CONSOLE OPERATION ENGLISH ENGLISH HZ17_OM_BT5.0_Rev_1_A.indd 10-11 2/15/17 3:06 PM1312

Note: There is a thin protective sheet of clear plastic on the overlay of the console that should be removed before use.

PROGRAM INFORMATION 10 Programs (Manual, Intervals, Weight Loss, Weight Loss Plus, Rolling, Candence, Random, Constant Watts, THR Zone, %THR, Custom)

MANUAL: Allows you to adjust the resistance level to your preference, without a preset program. Adjust your resistance manually during your workout. User sets time and resistance using (up/down arrow) and ENTER.

INTERVALS: Improves your strength, speed, and endurance by raising and lowering the resistance levels throughout your workout to involve both your heart and muscles. Time based program with 16 levels to choose from. User sets time and level using (up/ down arrows) and ENTER.

WEIGHT LOSS PLUS : Promotes weight loss and weight loss plus by increasing and decreasing the resistance, while keeping you in your fat burning zone. Time based program with different levels to choose from and greater intensity than the weight loss program. User sets time and level using (up/down arrows) and ENTER.Please drink enough water while and after doing exercise to enhance the weight loss results.

ROLLING: Maintains weight by gradually raising and lowering the resistance level to gradually raise and lower your heart rate.

CANDANCE: Special training program to build your muscle. This program will gradually increases resistance level and prompt you to hight speed, or medium speed, or low speed to help you reach your fitness goal.

RANDOM : Special designed chart based program that will simulate resistance being changed randomly.

THR ZONE: Simulate the intensity of your favorite sport as the program resistance automatically adjusts to maintain a set Target Heart Rate range. ENGLISH ENGLISH HZ17_OM_BT5.0_Rev_1_A.indd 14-15 2/15/17 3:06 PM1716

1) Select THR Zone program using and press ENTER.

2) Select TIME using and press ENTER.

3) The HEART RATE window will flash showing the default target heart rate of 80 beats per minute. Select your target heart rate (from heart rate training chart) using and press ENTER.

4) Press START to begin.

The first step in knowing the right intensity for your training is to find out your maximum heart rate (max HR = 220 – your age). The age-based method provides an average statistical prediction of your max HR and is a good method for the majority of people, especially those new to heart rate training. The most precise and accurate way of determining your individual max HR is to have it clinically tested by a cardiologist or exercise physiologist through the use of a maximal stress test. If you are over the age of 40, overweight, have been sedentary for several years, or have a history of heart disease in your family, clinical testing is recommended. This chart gives examples of the heart rate range for a 30 year old exercising at 5 different heart rate zones. For example, a 30-year-old’s max HR is 220 – 30 = 190 bpm and 90% max HR is 190 × 0.9 = 171 bpm.

% THR: Benefits weight loss by maintaining an optimum exercise level to burn fat, while adjusting the resistance to keep you in your target heart rate zone. First set up your personal data (your machine will automatically calculate your maximum workout heart rate) and select the percentage you wish to workout base on your maximum heart rate Note: The heart rate program is base on your heart rate target. Resistance will change automatically according to your pedaling speed and make sure you keep your workout in your target heart rate. Please do not pedal too slow or too fast. If you are out of the target zone LCD will show arrow sign beside RPM column to tell you to adjust your speed. Upper arrow for speed up your RPM and arrow down for slowing down your workout. 10) CUSTOM: Customized workout, time defaults to 30 minutes.

1) First enter the program setting and profile display will guide you through all the workout column.

2) Use upper and lower arrow to change the resistance and press enter to confirm. Console will display your current

segment number and guide you through segment 1 to segment 20.

COMMON PRODUCT QUESTIONS

ARE THE SOUNDS MY EXERCISE BIKE MAKES NORMAL? Our exercise bikes are some of the quietest available because they use belt 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 in 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 noise. HOW LONG WILL THE DRIVE BELT LAST? The computer modeling we have done indicated virtually thousands of maintenance free hours. You should not have to replace the belt 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. ENGLISH ENGLISH HZ17_OM_BT5.0_Rev_1_A.indd 38-39 2/15/17 3:07 PM4140 In order for Your local dealer to service your exercise bike they may need to ask detailed questions about the symptoms that are occurring. Some troubleshooting questions that may be asked are:

How long has this problem been occurring?

Does this problem occur with every use? With every user?

If you are hearing a noise, does it come from the front or the back? What kind of noise is it (thumping, grinding, squeaking, chirping etc.)?

Has the machine been lubricated and maintained per the MAINTENANCE schedule? Answering these and other questions will give the technicians the ability to send proper replacement parts and the service necessary to get you and your exercise bike running again! If this troubleshooting section does not remedy the problem, discontinue use and turn the power off. PLEASE CALL YOUR LOCAD DEALER. The following information may be asked of you when you call. Please have these items readily available:

Proof of Purchase (receipt or credit card statement) PROBLEM: When MP3 player is connected there is no sound coming from the speakers or the speakers sound fuzzy. SOLUTION: Make sure audio cable is plugged in securely to both the console and MP3 Player jacks.

TROUBLESHOOTING HEART RATE

Check your exercise environment for sources of interference such as fluorescent lights, computers, underground fencing, home security systems or appliances containing large motors. These items may cause erratic heart rate readouts. You may experience an erratic readout under the following conditions:

Gripping the heart rate handlebars too tight. Try to maintain moderate pressure while holding onto the heart rate handlebars.

Constant movement and vibration due to constantly holding the heart rate handlebars while exercising. If you are receiving erratic heart rate readouts, try to only hold the grips long enough to monitor your heart rate.

When you are breathing heavily during a workout.

When your hands are constricted by wearing a ring.

When your hands are dry or cold. Try to moisten your palms by rubbing them together to warm.

Anyone with heavy arrhythmia.

Anyone with arteriosclerosis or peripheral circulation disorder.

Anyone whose skin on the measuring palm is especially thick. ENGLISH ENGLISH HZ17_OM_BT5.0_Rev_1_A.indd 40-41 2/15/17 3:07 PM4342 AFTER EACH USE (DAILY)

Turn off the bike by unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet

Wipe down the bike with a damp cloth. Never use solvents, as they can cause damage to the bike.

Inspect the power cord. If the power cord is damaged, contact Your local dealer.

Make sure the power cord is not underneath the bike or in any other area where it can become pinched or cut. EVERY WEEK Clean underneath the bike, following these steps:

Move the bike to a remote location.

Wipe or vacuum any dust particles or other objects that may have accumulated underneath the bike.

Return the bike to its previous position. EVERY MONTH

Inspect all assembly bolts and pedals on the machine for proper tightness.
