11. Distractions, such as watching television, reading, using a computer device, or talking on the telephone while using the TBT affect the ability of the user to safely exercise on the TBT. Pay attention to and focus on your exercise while using the TBT.
12. Routinely check and pay special attention to components most susceptible to wear. Refer to the “Preventative Maintenance Schedule” (page 23) for further instruction.
13. Immediately replace damaged, worn, or broken parts and do not use the TBT until all repairs have been completed and tested by a Keiser-certified technician.
14. Only use replacement parts recommended by Keiser Corporation. Attempting to repair or replace any damaged, worn, or broken parts on your own is not recommended. A Keiser certified technician should be consulted.
15. Proper posture and body position is necessary to achieve a safe, comfortable, and effective workout. Correct foot placement and arm reach must always be maintained during every workout. Refer to the sections under “How to Exercise on the TBT” (page 21) for further instruction and safety information.
16. The TBT is NOT designed with a freewheel, but a fixed gear system. The Handles, Footpads, and Crank Arms are attached by linked components. These cannot be disengaged. When the Flywheel is in motion, the Pedals—including the Handles—will also be in motion. For this reason, never remove your feet from the Pedals or your hands from the Handles while the Flywheel is in motion as serious user injury may occur. Never take your hands off the Handles while the Flywheel is in motion.
17. It is recommended that the TBT be pedaled in the forward direction.
18. The Resistance Lever also functions as an Emergency Brake, allowing you to safely slow or stop the motion of the Flywheel. Move the Resistance Lever forward to slow the motion of the Flywheel. Move the Resistance Lever to the most forward position to engage the Emergency Brake.
19. Do not make adjustments during exercise. Use the Handles or the Resistance Lever to slowly bring all motion of the TBT to a controlled stop prior to making adjustments.
20. Before dismounting the TBT, push the Resistance Lever to the most forward position to engage the Emergency Brake. Wait until the Footpads and Handles come to a complete stop before dismounting.
21. Pedaling at high speeds or in the reverse direction, or utilizing the TBT for independent upper or lower body exercise, are considered advanced techniques and should only be performed when the user has reached an advanced level or under supervision by a person that has reached an advanced level.
22. The TBT is not a toy. Children shall not play with the TBT. Children under 14 years old should not use the TBT. Keep children and pets clear from the TBT at all times, especially while in use. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be performed by children.
23. The TBT can be used by children age 14 years and above. Persons with mental disabilities, reduced physical, mental, or sensory capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge should not use the TBT without constant supervision by a spotter/supervisor.

25. The minimum amount of free area around the TBT is 24 inches (610 mm) on all sides. Refer to the “Training Space” section (page 7) for further placement direction.
26. The TBT is suited for both home and commercial use. To ensure your safety and to help prevent damage to the TBT, read all instructions before operating. Seek professional installation technicians if you are not able to safely perform the work necessary to unpack, assemble, and set the TBT in a desired exercise location.
27. Failure to perform the “Proper Operation Check” (page 16) prior to normal use of the TBT will void your warranty and could result in serious injury.
28. The use of any exercise equipment, including, without limitation, Keiser’s strength training equipment in which resistance can be changed at anytime during the repetition, and any fixed gear bike, including, without limitation, the Keiser TBT, without proper instruction and/or supervision violates the terms of the agreement for purchase of such products. The ability to add resistance anytime during a repetition, including, without limitation, the ability to do a heavy negative may be dangerous, especially for anyone that does not recognize or respect the potential danger. The inability to stop pedaling on a fixed gear bike before the flywheel stops may also be dangerous to anyone riding, especially anyone that does not recognize or respect the potential danger.
29. Users, agents, and/or anyone directing the use of the TBT shall determine the suitability of the TBT for its intended use, and said parties are specifically put on notice that they shall assume all risk and liability in connection herewith.

CONTRAINDICATIONS
There are a number of contraindications in the context of the relevant fields of the M3/M3i Total Body Trainer use. In rehabilitation, only the medical staff can determine the form and extent of therapy. Medications can have an influence on the rehabilitation (e.g. neuroleptics, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, anti-epileptics, etc.). In the following cases, M3/M3i Total Body Trainer training may only be carried out after consultation with a doctor:

• Pregnancy
• Acute thrombosis
• Fresh wounds (e.g. after surgery)
• Artificial joints or prosthetics
• Bone fractures
• Spinal disc damage
• Traumatic injury to the spine
• Diabetes
• Epilepsy
• Inflammation
• Acute migraine headache
• Chronic illnesses
• Cancer
• Acute myocardial infarction or unstable angina pectoris (determined by a stress test)
• Cardiovascular diseases e.g. severe high blood pressure at rest, carditis, congestive heart failure, severe valvular heart disease, dangerous heart arrhythmias at rest, or aortic aneurysm

If the patient is experiencing acute illness, febrile condition (i.e. fever), or newly occurring pain, this represents an absolute contraindication for physical stress. In such situations, it is necessary to postpone training until the patient’s health has improved sufficiently.
In some situations (especially in patients with coronary heart disease or lung disease) overstraining can lead to an acute intensification of the patient’s symptoms. In such situations, an exercise ECG is essential and training is only possible under medical supervision.
The use of the automated operation (pulse automatic, preset programs, external control via computer or other device) is prohibited, unless the strain was authorized by a physician in accordance with the patient’s capacity/health.
For applications in endurance training, diagnostics and performance testing of patients, performance diagnostics, and stress tests, the same contraindications apply (among others) as with all physical stress. If there is doubt, it is important that a physician be consulted before using the M3/M3i Total Body Trainer.

COMPUTER DISPLAY

OVERVIEW

1. BACKLIGHT SENSOR While the computer is awake, the backlight sensor automatically detects ambient light levels in the room and turns on the backlight display when needed.
2. RPM (CADENCE) The RPM displays the revolutions per minute of the crank arm—also known in the cycling world as cadence—and is roughly the speed at which the cyclist is pedaling.
3. POWER AND ENERGY The power output is displayed in Watts (currently generating) and Kilocalories (total value for the workout). The computer toggles back and forth between Watts for eight seconds and Kilocalories for two seconds. The rated accuracy for power between 30 and 160 RPM is ±5 Watts for power below 50 Watts, and ±10% for power above 50 Watts.
4. HEART RATE If there is no Heart Rate signal, a steady heart symbol and a zero will be displayed. If a user is wearing a Heart Rate Sensor, once the computer locks onto the signal, the heart symbol will blink and display the heart rate. Compatible Heart Rate Sensors: POLAR® H9, POLAR® H10, or similar devices.
5. ELAPSED TIME The number shown reports the total workout time spent and will reset to zero after 60 seconds of inactivity or if the computer is reset using the gear shifter.
6. GEAR Gears from 1 to 24 are displayed on the bottom left hand of the screen.
7. ODOMETER/TRIP DISTANCE When the computer is activated, the Odometer “ODO” will display the distance accrual of the TBT for the first eight seconds. This feature is for service and maintenance purposes only. After approximately eight seconds:
   • M3 — The Odometer “ODO” will disappear and the Trip Distance will display for the remainder of the workout.
   • M3i — The Odometer “ODO” will disappear to display the Trip units for two seconds (“USA” = Miles, “EURO” = Kilometers), followed by the Trip Distance for the remainder of the workout (Note: To change the Trip units, follow the instructions on page 20).
     NOTE: On the M3/M3i, Trip is a calculated distance value (flat road ride) based on power production.

DISPLAY FEATURES

M3 and M3i Models

WORKOUT DATA
To view averages: RPM, Power, and Heart Rate, at any point in the workout, stop pedaling for three seconds. This will flash your averages until you start pedaling again or until the computer goes to sleep after 60 seconds.

INTERVAL TRAINING
To initiate an interval, starting from a high gear drop the Resistance Lever to “GEAR 1” for 1/4 of a second and lift it up to a higher gear immediately. “inL #” will display confirming the interval has started.
Repeat the above steps to end the interval (“inL End” will display) and the averages for that interval will blink.
Note: The averages displayed at the end of your workout when pedaling has stopped are inclusive of all pedaling times and intervals that have taken place during your workout.

Bluetooth® SMART ENABLED
The Bluetooth® SMART enabled computer allows Bluetooth® SMART Ready devices such as cellphones, tablets, and computers to gather information about your workout. M3i compatible apps allow data to be stored to track progress over time and make the data available to other fitness applications. Classrooms are able to utilize real time performance tracking programs which give the entire class an opportunity to see their performance compared with other participants in the class.
To receive and download workout information from your M3i, a Bike ID number is required, which identifies your M3i for individual or group Bluetooth discovery. The Bike ID number is viewable within the first eight seconds (displayed as “bid” and followed by any number 1 to 200, see Figure 14). To assign a Bike ID to your M3i, follow the instructions on page 20. Note: Bike ID set to “0” may not be discovered by Bluetooth devices.

WARNING: Heart rate monitoring systems may be inaccurate. Over exercising may result in serious injury or death. If you feel faint stop exercising immediately.

HOW TO EDIT M3i DISPLAY TRIP UNITS AND MACHINE ID

To receive and download workout information from your M3i to any Bluetooth® SMART device, a Bike ID number (displayed as “bid”) is required. Perform the following one-time procedure to set both the “bid” and the Trip Unit (miles or kilometers) at once. NOTE: Steps 1 through 7 must be completed within one minute.

1. Begin with the computer off and pull Resistance Lever all the way down towards you. This is GEAR “1” position.

2. Pedal 1 full revolution to change the TIME value to “1”, then stop.

3. Shift the Resistance Lever to GEAR “21” for Miles, or GEAR “19” for Kilometers.

4. Pedal 1 full revolution to change the TIME value to “2”, then stop

5. Shift the Resistance Lever to GEAR “19” for Miles, or GEAR “21” for Kilometers.

6. Pedal 1 full revolution to change the TIME value to “3”, then stop.

7. Shift the Resistance Lever from top to bottom (GEAR “88” to GEAR “1”) for a total of 6 times.
   NOTE: If the computer shuts down at any time before Step 8, the procedure has timed out. Restart the procedure from Step 1 at a time when the procedure may be completed within one minute.

8. Trip Unit confirmation:
   “USA” = miles
   “EURO” = kilometers
   Continue to Step 9 to record the Bike ID (“bid”) number.
   NOTE: “Err#” = incorrect gear setting within Steps 3–5. Restart the procedure from Step 1 after the computer shuts down (1 minute est. time).

9. Set Bike ID (“bid”): Set the “bid” number to any number between 1 and 200.
   Save the “bid” number: Set to any number between 8 and 16 and allow the computer to sleep (1 minute est. time).
   IMPORTANT: The computer must be allowed to sleep to save the “bid” number and Trip Unit, and exit edit mode.

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE TBT

The TBT is intended for cardiovascular, strength, and power conditioning exercise. Before you begin your exercise, be sure to adjust the Seat height and depth to the position that supports good body position.

BODY POSITION

1. HEAD AND NECK
   Keep your head and neck in alignment with your body. Your eyes and ears should be on the same horizontal plane and parallel with the floor.

2. POSTURE
   Maintain the natural curvature of your spine to achieve proper posture. Avoid leaning forward or arching your back.

3. ARMS
   Maintain comfortable range of arm motion, keeping the Handles in front of your body and within reach. Ensure a slight bend at the elbows when Handles reach full extension.

4. HANDS
   Ensure a firm grasp of the Handles throughout the exercise. Vary your handgrip for comfort and to help prevent discomfort.

5. LEGS
   Your knee cap should align with the Pedal axle when the Pedal is positioned at three o’clock (away from Flywheel). A slight bend at the knee should be present when the Pedal extends down to six o’clock (toward floor).

6. FEET
   Keep the widest part of each foot over the center of the Pedals (or resting on the Foot Rests in the Upper Body training position). Pedal at an even, steady pace to maintain balanced pedal strokes.

CAUTION: ENSURE SEAT HEIGHT AND DEPTH SUPPORT PROPER BODY POSITIONING TO AVOID INJURY. SEAT HEIGHT — Hips rocking side to side during pedaling indicates the Seat is positioned too high; knees bowed outward indicates the Seat is positioned too low. Adjust the Seat to align with the top of your hip when standing beside the TBT.
SEAT DEPTH — Adjust the Seat depth until only the toe end of your foot is visible when the Pedal is positioned at three o’clock (away from Flywheel).
Failure to follow this instruction may result in injury due to unnecessary stress on joints, muscles, and soft tissue.

Start Your Exercise:

1. Set the Resistance Lever down, then set a Pedal to the lowest position.
2. Grasp the Handle nearest to you.
3. Step onto the lowest Pedal first to mount the TBT.
4. Strap your feet securely onto the Pedals.

End Your Exercise:

1. Bring the Flywheel to a complete stop using the Handles/Pedals or the Resistance Lever/Emergency Brake.
2. Once the Flywheel/Handles come to a complete stop, loosen the Pedal Straps by pressing downward on the tab of the buckle.
3. Step off the higher Pedal first, then the lower one, to dismount.

WARNING: To prevent injury, always wait until the Flywheel comes to a complete stop before you attempt to dismount the TBT. Keep the top surface of the Pedals clean and dry.

EXERCISE GUIDELINE

Consult your physician before beginning any exercise program. To help ensure a safe, comfortable, and effective workout, remember to:

1. Warm up: Proper warm up before you begin your workout helps to get your muscles ready for exercise and can help prevent serious injury.
2. Control resistance: Always work with resistance that you can handle through a full range of motion. Know your limitations.
3. Breathe: Keep your breathing at a constant but steady pace. Avoid holding your breath as this may cause physical harm.
4. Keep your form and control: Learn and know how to perform the exercise correctly. Keep a steady/fluid motion throughout your workout. Engaging your abdominal muscles will help keep balance and protect your spine.

CAUTION: PROPER WARM UP REQUIRED TO HELP PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY. This TBT should only be used with proper instruction. Always maintain good form and control during exercise. If you feel pain or are unable to maintain good form, stop immediately. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury. If you are unclear on proper form, consult a physical therapist or trainer.

EXERCISE POSITIONS

Total Body Training (Figure 16) is an all-around exercise suited for users of any fitness level that provides a challenging workout. The upper and lower body are engaged for cardiovascular and pulmonary endurance, as well as for strength and power conditioning. Independent Upper Body Training ( Figure 17) is an advanced workout position that focuses on the upper body and core muscle groups. Maintain a firm grip and complete control of the Handles for optimal workout and to prevent injury. Independent Lower Body Training (Figure 18) is an advanced workout position that focuses on the lower body muscle groups. Position hands on your hips to maintain balance and to prevent injury.

REMEMBER:

• Combine resistance and intensity, along with varied time durations, for your desired cardiovascular, strength, and power conditioning.
• Take the time to pedal during cool down, and stretch after your workout.
• M3i Users — Download workout averages to any Bluetooth® SMART device with an M3i capable application.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: Routine maintenance is an essential part of maintaining the highest level of equipment safety, as well as optimal equipment performance.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Every Workout

| •      TBT is properly stabilized, level to the floor (refer to “Base Stabilizer” section, page 16).

•      Check that parts most susceptible to wear are not damaged or broken (Adjustment Knob, L-Handle, Pedal Toe Clips and Straps, and Seat Upholstery).

•      Cleaning: Target areas in the sweat path with a dry soft towel or cloth.

---|---

Weekly for the 1st Month

| •      Check to ensure that the TBT is in safe proper working order (perform the full “Proper Operation Check,” page 16).

•      Check that parts most susceptible to wear are not damaged or broken (Adjustment Knob, L-Handle, Pedal Toe Clips and Straps, and Seat Upholstery).

Monthly

| •      Clean the external body/parts thoroughly, targeting areas that come in contact with sweat, using a damp soft towel and a mild detergent (neutral, non-caustic). Wipe dry the equipment.

Quarterly

| •      Apply wax to protect the paint finish on metal parts:

1.     Wipe down and thoroughly clean the TBT prior to applying wax.

2.     Use an easily applied automotive treatment such as Meguiar’s® Quik Detailer Mist and Wipe.

3.     Target areas that come in contact with sweat as they are most vulnerable to rust.

NOTE: Failure to apply a coat of wax to high-sweat areas at a minimum of four times a year will decrease paint and frame life due to corrosion and will void the warranty.

Annually

| •      Check to ensure all external visible screws and nuts are not loose and that they are tightened.

•      Check parts most susceptible to wear and replace if damaged or broken (Adjustment Knob, L-Handle, Pedal Toe Clips and Straps, and Seat Upholstery).

•      The low battery signal (“LO-BA”) will appear on the computer display when it is time to replace the batteries (two AA batteries, refer to “Computer Battery Replacement” on page 24 for complete instructions).

NOTE: For establishments with multiple TBT equipment, replacement of all computer batteries at the same time is recommended.

•      Apply LPS 3® Rust Inhibitor or WD-40 Specialist® Corrosion Inhibitor to the Left Bottom Bracket Bearing and to both Link Bearings (Handle-Link connection point).

•      Apply lubricant to the Adjustment Knob:

1.     Unscrew and remove the Adjustment Knob.

2.     Clean threads with a lint-free cloth.

3.     Apply a moderate amount of lubricant to threads, then replace the Adjustment Knob.

NOTE: Both the threaded stud and the threaded insert nut are stainless steel. It is critical to keep the threads lubricated with a heavy grease (preferably white or clear in color), such as HYDROTEX® Acculube #2 or any compound with equivalent anti-wear and corrosion resistant properties.
