Maintenance and TROUBLE-SHOOTING

Inspect and tighten all parts of the HEALTHRIDER® regularly. Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight or the display may be damaged. The HEALTHRIDER® can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use solvents. Keep liquid away from the monitor. When storing the HEALTHRIDER®, remove the batteries from the monitor.

HOW TO LUBRICATE THE HEALTHRIDER®

Every three months, a small amount of light multi-pur- pose oil should be applied to the HEALTHRIDER®. Apply a few drops of oil between the axle caps or acorn nuts and the frame in the locations shown at the right. Make sure to apply oil to both sides of the HEALTHRIDER®.

HOW TO REPLACE THE BATTERIES

Apply Oil

If the display of the monitor becomes dim, the AA batteries should be replaced. Refer to step 3 on page 4l.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

The following general guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. Remember that proper nutri- tion and adequate rest are essential for successful results.

WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physi- cian. This is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-exist- ing health problems.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the desired results is to exercise with the proper intensi- ty. The proper intensity level can be found by using your heart rate as a guide.

The chart below shows recommended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.

To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age near the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). Next, look above your age and find the three numbers in light grey boxes. The three numbers are your “training zone.” The lowest number is the recommended heart rate for fat burning; the middle number is the recommended heart rate for maximum fat burning; the highest number is the rec- ommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.
