INTRODUCTION

CARE & STORAGE OF YOUR RECUMBENT BIKE

CONGRATULATIONS ON PURCHASING YOUR

EDGE 491r RECUMBENT BIKE

With this product in your home, you have everything you need to start your own workout program to tone and firm the major muscle groups of your lower body. This is vital for all of us, regardless of age, sex, or fitness level, and regardless of whether your primary goal is toning, health maintenance, or more energy for daily activities.

Proper exercise, including a low fat diet, strength training and aerobic exercise, tones and conditions the muscles we use every day to stand, walk, lift and turn. It can actually transform our body composition by reducing body fat and increasing the proportion of lean muscle in our bodies. Using the bike will help in reducing body fat and increasing cardiovascular endurance.

Be sure to read through this Owner’s Manual carefully.

It is the authoritative source of information about your Edge 491r Recumbent Bike.

Retain this manual for future reference.

Caring For Your Bike

Your Recumbent Bike has been carefully designed to require minimum maintenance. However, we recommend the following to keep your unit operating smoothly.

Use your bike indoors only.

Wipe all perspiration from your bike with a soft, clean cloth after each use to prevent an accumulation of sweat and dirt.

Clean your bike on a regular basis to prevent a build-up of dust. Use Windex or an alcohol based cleanser on a clean cloth. Do not use any abrasive cleaners and/or polish as these will damage

the surface.

Store your bike in a dry area away from children and high traffic areas.

Regularly check the tightness of nuts and bolts.

Storing Directions

Your bike is portable. If you need to change the location of your bike, please follow the steps below.

Stand at the rear of the bike and grasp the rear handlebar.

Lift up using your legs – not your back, tipping the bike forward until it is resting on the front transportation wheels/front rollers.

Wheel the bike to its new location and carefully lower the bike back down to the floor.
