HOW TO OPERATE THE EXERCISE CYCLE

HANDLEBAR OPERATION

The handlebars can be used in either the dual-action mode, for both upper-body and lower-body exercise, or the stationary mode, for pedaling exercise only.

ings. Move the link arms up and down slightly to

 

make sure that they are fully seated on the pedal

 

bushings.

CAUTION: Make sure that the link arms

 

are fully seated on the pedal bushings. If the link arms are not on the pedal bushings, they may slip off during use, resulting in injury to the user.

Stationary Mode

To convert the handlebars to the stationary mode, the link arms must be disconnected from the pedals. Pull the link arms outward against the red washers until the link arms are free of the pedal bushings (see

drawing 2 above). Be careful not to pinch your fin- gers. Next, lift the link arms off the pedals, and clip them onto the lock rods (see drawing 1 above).
