Important Electrical Instructions
WARNING!
Route the power cord away from any moving part of the unit including the transport wheels.
NEVER remove any cover without first disconnecting the DC power. If voltage varies by ten percent (10%) or more, the performance of your unit may be affected. Such conditions are not covered under your warranty. If you suspect the voltage is low, contact your local power company or a licensed electrician for proper testing.
NEVER expose this unit to rain or moisture. This product is NOT designed for use outdoors, near a pool or spa, or in any other high-humidity environment. The operating temperature specification is 40 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and humidity is 95% non-condensing (no water drops forming on surfaces).
Optimally the unit should be the only device plugged into the circuit. Our units have surge suppressors built in to help avoid nuisance tripping. We have tested several AFCI/GFCI breakers and outlets with our products. Brands we have tested are Eaton (Cutler Hammer Series), Leviton (Smart lock pro) and Schneider Electric (Canadian home series). These breakers do not trip in our testing, when connected to our units, as long as no other devices are plugged into the same circuit.

• NEVER operate this unit without reading and completely understanding the results of any operational change you request from the computer.
• NEVER use your unit during an electrical storm. Surges may occur in your household power supply that could damage unit components. Unplug the unit during an electrical storm as a precaution.
• Understand that changes in resistance do not occur immediately. Set your desired resistance level on the computer console and release the adjustment key. The computer will obey the command gradually.
• Use caution while participating in other activities while pedaling on your Recumbent Bike; such as watching television, reading, etc. These distractions may cause you to lose balance which may result in serious injury.
• Do not use excessive pressure on console control keys. They are precision set to function properly with little finger pressure.

WARNING DECAL REPLACEMENT
The decal shown below has been placed on the bike. If the decal is missing or illegible, please call our Customer Service Department toll-free at 1-888-707-1880 to order a replacement decal.

HARDWARE

Setting Up Your Bike

Levelling
Use a M14 Wrench to adjust the height of the Leveling Feet.

Moving The Recumbent Bike
The Recumbent Bike is equipped with 2 transport wheels on the front stabilizer. Lift the bike by the rear stabilizer and gently tilt the bike up and roll it away.

OPERATION OF YOUR CONSOLE

Quick Start
After the console powers up you just press the Start key to begin, this will initiate the Quick Start mode. In Quick Start the Time will count up from zero and the workload may be adjusted manually by pressing the Level + / – buttons. The dot matrix display will have only the bottom row lit at first. As you increase the workload more rows will light indicating a harder workout. The fitness bike will get harder to pedal as the rows increase.
There are 20 levels of resistance available for plenty of variety. The first 5 levels are very easy workloads and the changes between levels are set to a good progression for de-conditioned users. Levels 6-10 are more challenging, but the increases in resistance from one level to the next remain small. Levels 11-15 start getting tougher as the levels jump more dramatically. Levels 16-20 are extremely hard and are good for short-interval peaks and elite athletic training.

FEATURES

Basic Information
The Stop button has several functions. Pressing the Stop key once during a program will pause the program for 5 minutes. If you need to get a drink, answer the phone or do any of the many things that could interrupt your workout, this is a great feature.
To resume your workout during Pause, just press the Start key. If the Stop button is pressed twice during a workout, the program will end and the console will display your Workout Summary (Total time, Avg. Speed, Avg. Watts, Avg. HR). If the Stop key is held down for 3 seconds or a third time during the program, the console will perform a complete Reset. During data entry for a program, the Stop key performs a previous screen or segment function. This allows you to go back to change programming data.

Program Keys
The Program Keys are used to preview each program. When you first turn the console on you may press the program key to preview what the program profile looks like.
The Recumbent bike has a built-in heart rate monitoring system. Simply grasping the hand pulse sensors on the stationary handlebars or wearing the heart rate transmitter (see Using Heart Rate Transmitter section) will start the Heart Icon blinking (this may take a few seconds). The Pulse Display Window will display your heart rate or Pulse in beats per minute.

Console
The console will display RPM, Calories burned, Time (elapsed or countdown), Distance travelled, Pulse, Resistance, Program Name, number of Laps completed, and Segment Time. There is also a Resistance profile graph that lets you see how hard you have worked and how challenging the upcoming segments will be.
Dot Matrix Center Display
Twenty columns of boxes (10 high) indicate each segment of a workout. The boxes only show an approximate level (resistance) of effort. They do not necessarily indicate a specific value – only an approximate percent to compare levels of intensity. In Manual Operation the resistance dot matrix window will build a profile “picture” as values are changed during a workout.

Built-in Fan
The console includes a built-in fan to help keep you cool. To turn the fan on, press the button on the left side of the console.

Calorie Display
Displays the cumulative calories burned at any given time during your workout.
Note: This is only a rough guide used for comparison of different exercise sessions and is not to be used for medical purposes.

Direct Resistance Buttons
You can set your resistance level setting quickly by pressing the buttons on the console. Simply choose the desired level of resistance from the console and the Recumbent Bike will automatically adjust to that level. This saves time because you don’t have to press and hold or hold a button down until reaching the desired value.

Pulse Grip Feature
The Pulse (Heart Rate) console window will display your current heart rate in beats per minute during the workout. You must use both stainless-steel sensors on the front cross bar or the heart rate transmitter chest strap to display your pulse. Pulse value displays anytime the upper display is receiving a Pulse signal. You may not use the Grip Pulse feature while in Heart Rate Programs.

PROGRAMMABLE FEATURES
Programming the Console
Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to suit your needs. Some of the information asked for is necessary to ensure the readouts are correct. You will be asked for your Age and Weight. Entering your Age is necessary during the Heart Rate programs to ensure the correct settings are in the program for your Age. Your weight is used to give a more accurate calorie count.

CALORIE NOTE: Calorie readings on every piece of exercise equipment, whether it is in a gym or at home, are not accurate and tend to vary widely. They are meant only as a guide to monitor your progress from workout to workout. The only way to measure your calorie burn accurately is in a clinical setting connected to a host of machines. This is because every person is different and burns calories at a different rate. Some good news is that you will continue to burn calories at an accelerated rate for at least an hour after you have finished exercising!

Entering a Program and Changing Settings
When you enter a program, by pressing the Program key, then Enter key, you have the option of entering your settings. If you want to work out without entering new settings, then just press the Start key. This will bypass the programming of data and take you directly to the start of your workout. If you want to change the personal settings, then just follow the instructions in the Message Center. If you start a program without changing the settings, the default or saved settings will be used.
NOTE: Age and Weight default settings will change when you enter a new number. So the last Age and Weight entered will be saved as the new default settings. If you enter your Age and Weight the first time you use the fitness bike, you will not have to enter it every time you work out unless either your Age or Weight changes or someone else enters a different Age and Weight.

PROGRAMS – PRESET
The Recumbent Bike has multiple different programs that have been designed for a variety of workouts. These six programs have factory preset work level profiles for achieving different goals.

Hill

This program follows a triangle or pyramid type of gradual progression from approximately 10% of maximum effort (the level that you chose before starting this program) up to a maximum effort which lasts for 10% of the total workout time, then a gradual regression of resistance back to approximately 10% of maximum effort

Fat Burn

This program follows a quick progression up to the maximum resistance level (default or user input level) that is sustained for 2/3 of the workout. This program will challenge your ability to sustain your energy output for an extended period.

Cardio

This program presents a quick progression up to near maximum resistance level (default or user input level). It has slight fluctuations up and down to allow your heart rate to elevate, and then recover repeatedly, before beginning a quick cool down. This will build up your heart muscle and increase blood flow and lung capacity.

Strength

This program has a gradual progression of resistance up to 100% of maximum effort that is sustained for 25% of the workout duration. This will help build strength and muscular endurance in the lower body and glutes. A brief cool- down follows.

HIIT

This program takes you through high levels of intensity followed by recovery periods of low intensity. This program utilizes and develops your “Fast Twitch” muscle fibres which are used when performing tasks that are intense and short in duration. These deplete your oxygen level and spike your heart rate, followed by periods of recovery and heart rate drop to replenish oxygen. Your cardiovascular system gets programmed to use oxygen more efficiently.

Fusion

This program takes you through high levels of cardio & strength intensity followed by recovery periods of low intensity. This program utilizes and develops your “Fast Twitch” muscle fibres which are used when performing tasks that are intense and short in duration.
These deplete your oxygen level and spike your heart rate, followed by periods of recovery and heart rate drop to replenish oxygen. Your cardiovascular system gets programmed to use oxygen more efficiently.

PROGRAMS

Fusion

In this interval program, you will alternate between mid-high-intensity cardiovascular intervals on the bike, strength exercises off of the bike, and low-intensity recovery intervals on the bike. You will need a pair of objects that can be comfortably held in your hands (dumbbells, water jugs, soup cans, etc.) for 4 of the 5 strength exercises performed in this program.

• Press the PROGRAM key to select the Fusion program button, then press the Enter key.

• If Enter was pressed, the Message Center will now be blinking at a value, indicating your Age (default is 35). Use the Level +/- keys to adjust, then press Enter. Your age determines your recommended maximum heart rate. Since the Bar Graph Display and the Heart Rate features are based on a percentage of your maximum heart rate, it is important to enter the correct age for these features to work properly.

• The Message Center will now be blinking a value, indicating your Body Weight. Entering the correct body weight will affect the calorie count. Use the Level +/- keys to adjust, then press Enter.
  Note about the Calorie display: No exercise machine can give you an exact calorie count because there are too many factors which determine the exact calorie burn for a particular person. Even if someone is the same body weight, age and height, their calorie burn may be very different from yours. The Calorie display is to be used as a reference only to monitor improvement from workout to workout. The calorie count displayed in this program won’t be accurate because the machine can’t calculate calories expended while strength training.

• The Message Center will now be blinking the preset top Resistance level of the selected program (default/minimum resistance is Level 5). Use the Level +/- keys to adjust, then press Enter. This value will be the Level for all cardio intervals. The resistance level can be adjusted at any time during the program.

• The Message Center will be blinking the number of intervals desired (default is 10); you may select 10 (5 cardio & 5 strength), 20 (10 cardio & 10 strength), or 30 (15 cardio & 15 strength). Use the Level +/- keys to adjust, then press Enter.

• The Message Center will be blinking at the desired Interval time (default is 2:00). The time you select will be the duration of each cardio interval. Note: As a general rule, the longer the interval, the less resistance (fitness bike) is required and the more repetitions you perform, the less weight (dumbbells) you need to use; use the Level +/- keys to adjust, then press Enter.

• The Message Center will be blinking the recovery time you desire (default is 0:30) after completing both the cardio & strength intervals. Use the Level +/- keys to adjust, then press Enter.
  CAUTION: The shorter the recovery time, the longer your heart rate will stay elevated; if you are new to exercise or have recently resumed an exercise program after a considerable amount of time off, it is recommended that your recovery interval length either matches or exceeds the length of the cardio interval.

Countdown Mode
Target programs can set a Target Time, Target Distance or Target Calories for your workout. When the program begins the target item will count down; once it reaches zero the program ends.

• Press the PROGRAM key to select TARGET PROGRAM, then press Enter.

• Press the PROGRAM key to select the Target Time program, Target Distance program or Target Calories program. Press Enter to set the program. The display will prompt you through the programming or you can just press Start to begin the program with default values.

• If Enter was pressed, the Message Center will now be blinking at a value, indicating your Age (default is 35). Use the + or – keys to adjust, then press Enter.

• The Message center will now be blinking a value, indicating your Body Weight (default is 155 lbs/ 70kgs.). Entering the correct body weight will affect the calorie count. Use the + or –keys to adjust, then press Enter.
  A note about the Calorie display: No exercise machine can give you an exact calorie count because there are too many factors which determine the exact calorie burn for a particular person. Even if someone is the same body weight, age and height, their calorie burn may be very different than yours. The Calorie display is to be used as a reference only to monitor improvement from workout to workout.

• In the Target Time program, the Message Center will be blinking a value, indicating Time
  (the default value is 5 minutes) In the Target Distance program, the Message Center will be blinking a value, indicating Distance (the default value is 3.00 mile) In Target Calories program, the Message Center will be blinking a value, indicating Calories (the default value is 300). You may use any of the

• or – keys to adjust the target item. After adjusting, or accepting the default, press Enter.

  • You are now done programming data and may press Start to begin your workout.

Custom Workout Program
Two customizable User programs allow you to build and save your workout. The two programs, Custom 1 and Custom 2, operate the same way so there is no reason to describe them separately. You can build your custom program by following the instructions below or you can save any other preset program you complete as a custom program. Both programs allow you to further personalize it by adding your name.

• Press the PROGRAM key to select the Custom program button (Custom 1 or Custom 2), then press the Enter key. If you have already saved a program to either Custom 1 or Custom 2, it will be displayed, and you are ready to begin. If not, you will have the option of inputting a username. In the Message Window, the letter “A” will be blinking. Use the Level+/- buttons to select the appropriate first letter of your name (pressing the Level +/- button will switch to the letter “B”; pressing the Down button will switch to the letter “Z”). Press Enter when the desired letter is displayed. Repeat this process until all of the characters of your name have been programmed (maximum 7 characters). When finished press Stop.
• If there is a program already stored in Custom when you press the key, you will have an option to run the program as it is or delete the program and build a new one. At the welcome message screen, when pressing Start or Enter you will be prompted: Run Program? Use the Level +/- to select Yes or No. If you select No, you will then be asked if you want to delete the currently saved program. It is necessary to delete the current program if you want to build a new one. The Message Center will ask you to enter your Age. You may enter your age, using the Level +/- keys, then press the Enter key to accept the new value and proceed on to the next screen.
• The Message Center will ask you to enter your Age. You may enter your age, using the Level +/- keys, then press the Enter key to accept the new value and proceed on to the next screen.
• You are now asked to enter your Weight. You may adjust the weight value using the Level+/- keys, then press Enter to continue.
• Next is Time. You may adjust the time and press Enter to continue.
• Now the first column will be blinking, and you are asked to adjust the resistance level for the first segment (SEGMENT> 1) of the workout by using the Level +/- key. When you finish adjusting the first segment, or if you don’t want to change, then press Enter to continue to the next segment.
• The next segment will show the same workload resistance level as the previously adjusted segment. Repeat the same process as the last segment then press Enter. Continue this process until all twenty segments have been set.
• Now you have finished editing the settings and can begin your workout by pressing the Start key. You can also go back and modify your settings by pressing the Enter key.

HEART RATE EXERTION

The old motto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits of exercising comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of heart rate monitors. With the proper use of a heart rate monitor, many people find that their usual choice of exercise intensity was either too high or too low and exercise is much more enjoyable by maintaining their heart rate in the desired benefit range.
To determine the benefit range in which you wish to train, you must first determine your Maximum Heart Rate. This can be accomplished by using the following formula: 220 minus your age. This will give you the Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) for someone of your age. To determine the effective heart rate range for specific goals you simply calculate a percentage of your MHR. Your Heart rate training zone is 50% to 90% of your maximum heart rate. 60% of your MHR is the zone that burns fat while 80% is for strengthening the cardiovascular system. This 60% to 80% is the zone to stay in for maximum benefit.
For someone who is 40 years old, their
target heart rate zone is calculated:
220 – 40 = 180 (maximum heart rate)
180 x .6 = 108 beats per minute (60% of maximum)
180 X .8 = 144 beats per minute (80% of maximum)
So, for a 40-year-old, the training zone would be 108 to 144 beats per minute.

If you enter your age during programming the console will perform this calculation automatically. Entering your age is used for the Heart Rate programs. After calculating your MHR you can decide upon which goal you would like to pursue.
The two most popular reasons for, or goals, of exercise, are cardiovascular fitness (training for the heart and lungs) and weight control. The black columns on the chart above represent the MHR for a person whose age is listed at the bottom of each column. The training heart rate, for either cardiovascular fitness or weight loss, is represented by two different lines that cut diagonally through the chart. A definition of the lines’ goal is in the bottom left-hand corner of the chart. If your goal is cardiovascular fitness or if it is weight loss, it can be achieved by training at 80% or 60% respectively, of your MHR on a schedule approved by your physician. Consult your physician before participating in any exercise program.
With all Heart Rate program recumbent bikes, you may use the heart rate monitor feature without using the Heart Rate program. This function can be used during manual mode or any of the nine different programs. The Heart Rate program automatically controls incline.

HEART RATE – PERCEIVED EXERTION

Heart rate is important but listening to your body also has a lot of advantages. There are more variables involved in how hard you should work out than just heart rate. Your stress level, physical health, emotional health, temperature, humidity, the time of day, the last time you ate, and what you ate, all contribute to the intensity at which you should workout. If you listen to your body, it will tell you all of these things.
The rate of perceived exertion (RPE), also known as the Borg scale, was developed by Swedish physiologist G.A.V. Borg. This scale rates exercise intensity from 6 to 20 depending upon how you feel or the perception of your effort.
The scale is as follows:
Rating Perception of Effort
6 Minimal
7 Very, very light
8 Very, very light +

You can get an approximate heart rate level for each rating by simply adding a zero to each rating. For example, a rating of 12 will result in an approximate heart rate of 120 beats per minute. Your RPE will vary depending on the factors discussed earlier. That is the major benefit of this type of training. If your body is strong and rested, you will feel strong, and your pace will feel easier. When your body is in this condition, you can train harder and the RPE will support this. If you are feeling tired and sluggish, it is because your body needs a break. In this condition, your pace will feel harder. Again, this will show up in your RPE and you will train at the proper level for that day.

MAINTENANCE & CARE

POST-WORKOUT MACHINE CARE

• Store your machine according to the folding instructions when not in use.
• Use a slightly damp cloth to clean areas where sweat or oil made contact with the machine.
• Use a microfiber cloth to clean the touchscreen and remove unwanted oils and other things that may damage the screen.
• Avoid leaving paper or other small debris in the cupholders.

SANITIZING YOUR FITNESS EQUIPMENT

• Unupholstered high-contact surfaces (hard plastics) can be sanitized using a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution and a clean, dry cloth. Spray surfaces to be sanitized and use a dry cloth to wipe clean. Allow surfaces to dry before using.
• For upholstered or soft-plastic surfaces, use a conditioner after sanitizing. Be sure to follow the instructions provided by the conditioner manufacturer to ensure proper use of the conditioner.
• Alternatively, you can make your spray by mixing the proper ratio of isopropyl alcohol and distilled water to reach a 75% solution.

Engineering Mode Menu
The console has built-in maintenance/diagnostic software. The software will allow you to change the console settings from English to Metric and turn off the beeping of the speaker when a key is pressed for example. To enter the Engineering Mode Menu, press and hold down the Start, Stop and Enter keys. Keep holding the keys down for about 5 seconds and the Message Center will display Engineering Mode Menu. Press the Enter key to access the menu below:

• Key Test (Will allow you to test all the keys to make sure they are functioning)
• Display Test (Tests all the display functions))
• Functions (Press Enter to access settings and the + or- arrow to scroll)
  • ODO Reset (Resets the odometer)
  • Units (Sets the display to readout in English or Metric display measurements)
  • Sleep Mode (Turn off to have the console power down automatically after 15 minutes of inactivity)
  • Pause Mode (Turn on and allow 5 minutes of pause, and turn off to have the console pause indefinitely)
  • Beep (Turns off the speaker so no beeping sound is heard)
  • Motor test (Continually runs the tensioning gear motor)
• Child Lock (Allows the keypad to be locked to prevent unauthorized use)
• Exit

TROUBLESHOOTING

• Plug is disconnected. Make sure the plug is firmly pushed into the 115VAC wall outlet.
• Bike defect. Contact your dealer.

Squeak, thump, and clicking sounds heard|

• The hardware was not sufficiently tightened during assembly. All bolts that were installed during assembly need to be tightened as much as possible. It may be necessary to use a larger wrench than the one provided if you cannot tighten the bolts sufficiently. 90%of calls to the service department for noise issues can be traced to loose hardware.
• The crank arm nut needs to be retightened.
• If squeaks or other noises persist, check that the unit is properly levelled. There are 2 levelling pads on the bottom of the rear stabilizer, use a 14mm wrench (or adjustable wrench) to adjust the levellers
