GETTING STARTED

Once your bike is assembled, make sure that your workout space has a solid, level surface with plenty of space around it. We recommend placing a mat under your bike to protect your flooring.

Correct Workout Position

When pedaling do not lock out your knees, at the bottom of the pedaling motion there should be a slight bend in the knee. Keep your head in a neutral position to minimize neck and upper back strain. Always try to pedal the bike with a smooth and rhythmic motion.

USING YOUR UPRIGHT BIKE

The bike provides a completely smooth and natural feeling that minimizes the impact on your hips, knees and ankles while providing a superior aerobic and muscle toning workout.

IMPORTANT:

This bike is not recommended for children.

Always make sure that you feel balanced and secure.

Always use your bike on a clean, solid and level surface.

USING THE PULSE FUNCTION ON THE HANDLEBARS

The Pulse window on your Monitor works in conjunction with the pulse sensors found on the handlebars. When you are ready to read your pulse:

Pulse

1) Place both hands firmly on the pulse sensors. For the mostSensors accurate reading, it is important to use both hands.

2)Look at your pulse window. The small heart will begin to blink.

3)Your estimated heart rate will appear in the window approximately 6 seconds after you grasp the pulse sensors.

4)Refer to the Target Heart Rate Zone Chart found on page 18 of this manual. For additional information about the importance of working within certain heart rate ranges, see pages 16 and 17 – Measuring Your Heart Rate.

5)This estimate is not exact and persons with medical conditions and/or a specific need for accurate heart rate monitoring should not rely on the estimations provided.

Pulse sensors, located on the handlebars enable the user to read his/her approximate pulse rate. By grasping the sensors and holding firmly, the display will read your pulse rate in the display window. Your pulse will continue to read as long as your hands stay on the pulse sensors.

When used properly, the heart rate pulse sensors and display monitor provide a reasonably accurate estimate of your actual heart rate. This estimate is not exact and persons with medical conditions and/or a specific need for accurate heart rate monitoring should

not rely on the estimations provided.
