HOW TO USE THE EXERCISE CYCLE
HANDLEBAR OPERATION
The handlebars can be used in either the stationary
mode, for pedaling exercise only, or the dual-action
mode, for both upper-body and lower-body exercise.
STATIONARY MODE
To convert the
handlebars to
the stationary
mode, the Link
Arms (26) must
be disconnect-
ed from the
pedals. Pull the
Link Arms out-
ward against
the 17.5mm
Washers (56),
until the Link
Arms are free
of the Pedal
Bushings (25).
CAUTION: Be
careful not to
pinch your
fingers. Lift
the Link Arms
off the pedals.
Clip the Link Arms (26) onto the lock rod as shown in
drawing 2.
DUAL-ACTION MODE
To convert the handlebars to the dual-action mode, the
Link Arms must be connected to the pedals. Refer to
drawing 2 above. Lift the Link Arms (26) off the lock rod.
Next, refer to drawing 1 above. Pull the Link Arms (26)
outward against the tops of the 17.5mm Washers (56),
while pulling against the bottoms of the Washers with
your fingers. CAUTION: Be careful not to pinch your
fingers. Slide the Link Arms onto the Pedal Bushings
(25). It may be helpful to move the link arms up and
down slightly until they slide onto the Pedal Bushings.
CAUTION: Make sure that the Link Arms are on the
Pedal Bushings. If the Link Arms are not on the
Pedal Bushings, the Link Arms may slip off during
use, resulting in injury to the user.
SEAT ADJUSTMENT
Proper seat
height is impor-
tant for effective
exercise. As you
pedal, there
should be a
slight bend in
your knees when
the pedals are in
the lowest posi-
tion. To adjust
the Seat (48), dismount the exercise cycle, hold the
Seat, and remove the Seat Knob (52). Raise or lower
the Seat and insert the Seat Knob through the Frame
(1) and the Seat Post (42). Tighten the Seat Knob into
the welded nut on the Frame. CAUTION: Make sure
to insert the Seat Pin through the Seat Post; do
not insert the Seat Knob under the Seat Post.
ELECTRONIC MONITOR OPERATION
The electronic monitor offers five modes to provide
instant exercise feedback:
SpeedÑ
Displays
your pedal-
ing speed, in
miles per
hour.
TimeÑ
Displays the
elapsed
time. Note:
Time will be
counted only
while you are pedaling. If you stop pedaling for ten
seconds or longer, the time mode will pause.
DistanceÑDisplays the total distance you have ped-
aled, in miles.
CalorieÑDisplays the approximate number of Calories
you have burned.
ScanÑDisplays the speed, time, distance and calorie
modes in a repeating cycle.
Note: The electronic monitor requires two "AA" batter-
ies (not included). See assembly step 3 on page 4 for
battery installation instructions.
