6 Depending on the surface on which the Lifecycle exercise bike is placed, it may need to be stabilized. After you place the bike where you will primarily use it, check the stability of the bike by attempting to rock it back and forth. If it rocks, it is not stable.
7 Do not attempt to adjust the seat while you are pedaling the bike. Doing so or failing to insert the seat pin completely may result in an uncomfortable workout or cause injur y. How to Adjust the Seat A properly adjusted seat is extremely important in any bike-oriented exercise activity and the Lifecycle exercise bike is no exception.
8 The pedals on the Lifecycle exercise bike have footstraps with slits on both the inside and the outside of each strap. T o adjust the size of the straps, grasp the outside of the strap and pull down and away from the knob.
9 l Maximum Program Time The maximum program time option allows the maximum program time to be changed from the default maximum time limit of 60 minutes to anywhere from 1 to 99 minutes. Altering the maximum program time will affect all programs except the Fit Test.
10 The Lifecycle exercise bike’s display console is easy to use and it allows you to follow progress as you ride. The on-board computer lets you tailor workouts to individual fitness capabilities and goals while providing a unique means of measuring fitness improvement from one workout to the next.
11 RACE ON / OFF: Lets you toggle in and out of the Race mode at any time in the Manual, Random and Hill programs. The Speed / RPM display will toggle between RPMs and MPH / KPH every five seconds. The MPH / KPH will be dependent on the pedal speed and the level chosen.
