Assembly Instructions

Assembly Tips
The LifeCORECD550 is made from the best materials and has been tested and received a quality control review before its packaging to ensure the correct parts and proper fitting of each component. This machine was designed to limit the amount of assembly needed by a consumer. Before assembly of your product, distinguish a proper and appropriate location for the unit where there is easy access to an electrical outlet with a surge protector. Unpack the box in a clear work area to allow smooth assembly. Remove all of the parts from the packing material; however, do not discard the packing material until assembly is complete. Double-check packing materials to ensure no missing parts were left behind. Note that some hardware may be preassembled to components to help with assembly; tools have also been provided to assist with assembly.

Assembly Assistance

• In each CD550 assembly pack, there is a tube of grease for assembly purposes. A small even amount of grease must be applied to the pivot points during assembly. Apply about two fingertips worth of multi-purpose grease onto the bottom of both foot pedal tubes in the area that makes contact with the roller wheel. (Parts #2CU8 Shaft Wheel w/ball bearing)
  Figure 3 – Green Arrows

• During Step 3 assembly, apply about a fingertip’s worth of assembly grease on each pivot point, shaft, and bearings before connecting arms.

f. Heart Rate programs:

• Heart rate control programs are designed to keep you training at your chosen heart rate level. The console will adjust the resistance level automatically to ensure the target heart rate is achieved and maintained during the entire program. If no Heart Rate signal is detected for 10 seconds, the message window will show “NO DETECTED HR”. If this continues for 40 seconds, the message window will show “ABORT PROGRAM” for 3 seconds it will then interrupt the Heart Rate Control program and return to Program Mode.
• The console will check the user’s heart rate every 40 seconds and adjust the resistance level to maintain the heart rate goal. The message display will show messages to indicate your program progress:
• If your heart rate is within 5bpm to the target heart rate, the resistance will stay the same and the message display will show “IN HR TARGET” for 3 seconds, then it will toggle back to workout information.If your heart rate is 5bpm less than the target heart rate, the resistance will increase.
• If your heart rate is 5bpm more than target heart rate, the resistance will decrease. If the current resistance is already at level 1, then the message display will show “STRIDE SLOWER” for 3 seconds.

Note : A wireless heart rate monitoring device must be used for the program to work. It is also important to consult your physician before performing any Heart Rate-based training program.
There are 5 Heart Rate Control programs: % Target Heart Rate, HR 80% Cardio, HR 65% Fat Burn, HR Hill 65% – 75% – 85% and HR Interval. Below are the program details:

• % Target Heart Rate: Allows the users to select their own percentage of the maximum heart rate that they would like to maintain during their exercise session. The range of percentages is 50% to 85%. (See section titled MONITORING YOUR HEART RATE for more information)
• HR 80% Cardio: Maintains your target heart rate at 80% of max heart rate by automatically adjusting the tension levels to maintain that percentage. This is a good program for people who want to have a high-intensity, cardiovascular workout.
• HR 65% Fat Burn: Maintains one’s target heart rate at 65% of max heart rate by automatically adjusting the tension levels to maintain that percentage. This is a good program for people who want a fat-burning workout.
• HR Hill 65%-75%-85%: Simulates hill training by changing the target heart rate through three different percentages during the workout. The changes will occur as follows: 65% – 75% – 85% – 75% – 65% -75% – 85% etc. Each percentage will be held for three minutes before changing to the next percentage.
• HR Interval: This program alternates between 65% and 85% of your max heart rate. This program provides an excellent fat-burning and cardiovascular workout. Each percentage will be held for four minutes before alternating to the next percentage.

Monitoring Your Heart Rate

• In order to obtain the greatest cardiovascular benefits from your exercise workout, it is important to work within your target heart rate zone. The American Heart Association defines this target as 60%-75% percent of your maximum heart rate.
• Your maximum heart rate may be roughly calculated by subtracting your age from 220. Your maximum heart rate and aerobic capacity naturally decreases as you age. This will vary from one person to another. Use this number to find your approximate effective target zone. It is most effective to train at your target heart rate between 60% and 85% of your maximum heart rate; referred to as “Training Zone”. In order to get the most accurate reading, it is recommended to enter your age before your workout.
• Before beginning your workout, check your normal resting heart rate. Place your fingers lightly against your neck or your wrist over the main artery. After finding your pulse, count the number of beats in 10 seconds. Multiply the number of beats by six to determine your resting pulse rate per minute. We recommend taking your heart rate at these times; at rest, after warming up, during your workout, and two minutes into your cool down, to accurately track your progress as it relates to better fitness.
• During your first several months of exercising, the AHA recommends aiming for the lower part of the target heart rate zone -60 %, then gradually progressing up to 75%. According to the AHA, exercising above 75% of your maximum heart rate may be too strenuous unless you are in top physical

How to Use the Manual Stride Length Adjuster

The CD550 is equipped with a manual stride length adjustment system. The purpose of this function is to allow a user to change his/her stride length between 17″ and 25″. Changing the stride length will increase/decrease the distance it takes to do one revolution during exercise. Adjust the stride lengths according to what feels best for the user based on his/her height and exercise routine.

• Step 1:
  Loosen knobs A & Bby turning them counter-clockwise about two times, make sure not to fully detach knob A or B from the unit as they will detach from the unit.
  Note : The number at the top of the indicator, which is on the side, will display the current stride length of the unit.

• Step 2:
  While holding onto knob B, simultaneously pull outwards on knob A to disengage the locking pin and hold it outwards. Using the same hand that is holding Knob B, slide the adjustment arm either up or down, until desired stride length is achieved then release knob A to engage the locking pin into place.

• Step 3:
  Tighten knobs A & B by turning them clockwise to lock them into place.
  Repeat steps 1 thru 3 to adjust the stride length on the other side.

WARNING : To prevent personal injury, make sure that both the right and left sides of the unit are set to the same stride length. Every time a user works out, it is his/her responsibly to make sure that the knobs on both sides are securely locked. Never adjust while a user is on or using the machine.

Care and Maintenance

The LifeCORECD550 is made from the best materials and has been tested and received a quality control review before its packaging to ensure the correct parts and proper fitting of each component. This machine was designed to limit the amount of assembly needed by a customer. The amount of maintenance required is very little and very simple; however, a failure to implement preventative maintenance suggestions can prevent the machine from operating as designed. The CD550 is only for indoor use and should not be stored in damp, extremely cold or hot areas as this will damage the unit voiding the warranty.
Rules:

• Never use WD-40 or any type of silicone spray to lubricate any moving parts. Use appropriate lithium assembly grease as needed to the pivot points if noise occurs.
• Always clean the machine after use.
  1. Proper cleaning is important for the longevity of a machine, clean the unit with a light soap-water mixture, followed by a dry towel, or use a light house hold cleaner such as Windex to remove dirt. The purpose of cleaning the unit is to remove body sweat which contains salt. Salt is the number one factor that will cause the unit to rust and the electronics to stop working.
  2. Dry the unit off with a clean towel to remove left over moisture after every use.
• After the first 12 hours of use, check and retighten any bolts, nuts, screws, pedals, etc. making sure that they are tight and working properly.
  1. The number one service issue is loose hardware. Loose hardware can cause the unit to tick, creak, thump, knock, etc. After the first 12 hours once all the hardware has been tightened, the hardware should be checked every 3 months.
• Only use the appropriate power source, and never use an adapter that is not certified for the unit, a wrong adapter will cause the electronics to overheat and malfunction. AC Adaptor DC 9V 1500MA
