MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance is important for optimal performance and to reduce wear. Inspect and properly tighten all parts each time the trainer is used. Replace any worn parts immediately.

To clean the trainer, use a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the console, keep liquids away from the console and keep the console out of direct sunlight.

CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING

If the console does not turn on, make sure that the power adapter is fully plugged in.

If the console does not display your heart rate when you hold the handgrip heart rate monitor, or if the displayed heart rate appears to be too high or too low, see step 5 on page 18.

If a replacement power adapter is needed, call the telephone number on the cover of this manual. IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the console, use only a manufacturer-supplied regulated power adapter.

If the console does not boot up properly, or if the console freezes and does not respond, reset the console to the factory default settings. IMPORTANT: Doing this will erase all custom settings you have made to the console. Resetting the console requires two people. First, unplug the power adapter. Next, locate the small reset opening (A) on the back or the side of the console. Using a bent paper clip, press and hold the reset button inside the opening, and have a second person plug in the power adapter. Continue holding the reset button until the console turns on. When the reset operation is complete, the console will turn off and then turn back on. If it does not, unplug and then plug in the power adapter. Once the console turns on, check for firmware updates (see step 5 on page 23). Note: It may take a few minutes for the console to be ready for use.

Diagram: Location of reset opening (A) on the console.

PEDAL TROUBLESHOOTING

If the pedals bottom out while you are exercising and become difficult to move, rock your weight backward and forward on the pedals until the pedals become free and the flywheel inside the trainer begins turning again.

HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH

If the console does not display correct feedback, the reed switch should be adjusted. To adjust the reed switch, first unplug the power adapter.

Next, remove the four indicated M4 x 16mm Flat Head Screws (101) and the Lower Rear Shield Cover (68).

Next, turn the Large Pulley (21) until a Pulley Magnet (104) is aligned with the Reed Switch (116). Then, slightly loosen the M4 x 19mm Screw (113), slide the Reed Switch slightly closer to or away from the Pulley Magnet, and retighten the Screw.

Then, plug in the power adapter and turn the Large Pulley (21) for a moment. Repeat these actions, if necessary, until the console displays correct feedback. Then, reattach the lower rear shield cover.

Diagram: Shows pulley alignment for reed switch adjustment.

HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT

If the pedals slip while you are pedaling, even while the resistance is adjusted to the highest level, the drive belts may need to be adjusted. To adjust the drive belts, first unplug the power adapter.

Next, remove the four indicated M4 x 16mm Flat Head Screws (101) and the Lower Rear Shield Cover (68).

Then, locate the lower Adjustment Screw (A). Tighten the lower Adjustment Screw four turns; this will tighten the Large Drive Belt (31).

Stand on the trainer and pedal for a few moments. If the pedals still slip, step off the trainer and locate the upper Adjustment Screw (B). Tighten the upper Adjustment Screw two turns; this will tighten the Small Drive Belt (28).

Stand on the trainer again and pedal for a few moments. If the pedals still slip, step off the trainer and tighten the lower Adjustment Screw (A) four turns; this will again tighten the Large Drive Belt (31).

When you have properly adjusted the drive belts, reattach the lower rear shield cover.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons over age 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.

The heart rate monitor is not a medical device. Various factors may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The heart rate monitor is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.

These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a reputable book or consult your physician. Remember, proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for successful results.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper intensity is the key to achieving results. You can use your heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level. The chart below shows recommended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise.

To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). The three numbers listed above your age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.

Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest number in your training zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your heart rate near the middle number in your training zone.

Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the highest number in your training zone.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.

Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise; never hold your breath.

Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY

To maintain or improve your condition, complete three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest between workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

Diagram: Chart showing heart rate zones based on age for fat burning and aerobic exercise.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES

The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right. Move slowly as you stretch; never bounce.

1. Toe Touch Stretch
