Features

TRANSPORTATION

The bike is equipped with two transport wheels, which are engaged when rear of 161167355 is lifted.

SEAT ADJUSTABILITY

When adjusting the seat to a higher position, just pull up on the seat. The design features a ratcheting mechanism that will lock into place. If you need to lower the seat, pull horizontally on the right side of the frame until the post locks into one of the grooves.

CONSOLE

The console will display RPM, Calories burned, Time (elapsed or countdown), Distance travelled, Pulse, Resistance Level, Program Name, Speed, Watts, and number of Laps completed. There is also a resistance level profile graph that lets you see how hard you have worked and how challenging the upcoming segments will be.

Email: [email protected]

HEART RATE BAR GRAPH

The console LCD screen will display your current heart rate anytime a pulse is detected. The Bar Graph, located right of the

LCD screen, will show your current heart rate % in relation to your projected maximum heart rate, which is determined by your age that you entered during the programming phase of any of the 10 programs . The significance of the bar graph colors are as follows:

 50-60% of maximum is Amber

 65-80% of maximum is Amber and Green

 85-90% or more is Amber, Green, and Red

MUSCLE ACTIVATION FIGURE

There is an anatomical figure located at the top of the console. This figure will light all areas that are activated when using the bike. These will light up during any of the programs. You can control which muscles are activated by changing the incline and swinging your arms.

The pre-set programs will determine which lower body muscles will be activated by automatically adjusting the incline. Generally the following guidelines hold true:

 The upper body LED’s will light any time your hands aren’t in contact with the pulse grip sensors.

 The lower body lights will activate in three degrees of engagement: Green represents minimal muscle involvement,

Amber represents medium involvement, and Red represents full or heavy activation.

 0-4.5% Elevation: even muscle distribution, all four muscle groups will be Amber

 5-15% Elevation: Quads are Amber and Glutes,

Hamstrings, and Calves are Red

Operation of Your Console

Power on

When the A.C. Power cord is connected to the fitness bike, the console will automatically power up. If there is no input to the console for 20 minutes the console will go to stand-by mode. In stand-by mode the console display will turn off. To turn the console on press any key.

When initially powered on the console will perform an internal self-test. During this time all the lights will turn on. When the lights go off, the Message Center will show the software version (i.e.: VER 1.0). The distance window shows the distance in miles and the time window shows the total hours of use.

The dot matrix display will be scrolling through the different profiles of the programs and the message window will be scrolling the start up message. You may now begin to use the console.

Email: [email protected]

DOT MATRIX CENTER DISPLAY (Manual Operation)

Twenty columns of boxes (8 high) indicate each segment of a workout. The boxes only show an approximate level (resistance) of effort. They do not necessarily indicate a specific value - only an approximate percent to compare levels of intensity. In Manual Operation the

Resistance dot matrix window will build a profile “picture” as values are changed during a workout.

The speed and incline profiles will display half of the program at one time (9 columns). They will both scroll right to left. The Lap track will move in counterclockwise direction.

1/4 MILE TRACK

The 1/4-mile track (one lap) will be displayed around the dot matrix window. The flashing segment indicates your progress. Once the 1/4-mile (Metric - 0.4k) is complete this feature will begin again. There is a lap counter in the message window for monitoring your distance.

PULSE GRIP FEATURE

The Pulse (Heart Rate) console window will display your current heart rate in beats per minute during the workout. You must use both stainless steel sensors on the front cross bar or the heart rate transmitter chest strap to display your pulse. Pulse value displays anytime the upper display is receiving a Pulse signal. You may not use the Grip Pulse feature while in

Heart Rate Programs.

CALORIE DISPLAY

Displays the cumulative calories burned at any given time during your workout, except in the

Calorie program, the calories count down.

Note: This is only a rough guide used for comparison of different exercise sessions, which cannot be used for medical purposes.

SPEAKERS

The console has built-in Speakers. You may plug an Audio Source (CD player, MP3,

Computer, etc.) into the Jack on the right side of console. There is no volume control on the console. The volume must be controlled on the Audio Source.

QUICK START

This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers up you just press the Start key to begin, this will initiate the Quick Start mode. In Quick Start the Time will count up from zero and the workload may be adjusted manually by pressing the

Level Up or Down buttons on the console

The dot matrix display will have only the bottom row lit at first. As you increase the work load more rows will light indicating a harder workout. The fitness bike will get harder to pedal as the rows increase.

There are 20 levels of resistance available for plenty of variety. The first five levels are very easy workloads and the changes between levels are set to a good progression for de-conditioned users. Levels 6-10 are more challenging, but the increases in resistance from one level to the next remain small. Levels 11-15 start getting tough as the levels jump more dramatically. Levels 16-20 are extremely hard and are good for short interval peaks and elite athletic training.

BASIC INFORMATION

The Message Center will initially be displaying the program name.

When in scan mode, the Speed will be displayed for four seconds, then move on to Watts (indication of workload). If 100 watts is displayed, you are doing enough work to keep a 100-watt light bulb lit. The data changes to Laps completed, Segment time, Max level.

Pressing the Enter button again will bring you back to the beginning.

The Stop button actually has several functions. Pressing the Stop key once during a program will Pause the program for 5 minutes. If you need to get a drink, answer the phone or any of the many things that could interrupt your workout, this is a great feature. To resume your workout during Pause, just press the Start key. If the

Stop button is pressed twice during a workout the program will end and the console will display our workout summary. If the Stop key is held down for 3 seconds the console will perform a complete Reset. During data entry for a program the Stop key performs a

Previous Screen function. This allows you to go back to change programming data.

PROGRAM KEYS

The Program Keys are used to preview each program. When you first turn the console on you may press each program key to preview what the program profile looks like. If you decide that you want to try a program, press the corresponding program key and then press the Enter key to select the program and enter into the data-setting mode.

The fitness bike has a built in heart rate monitoring system. Simply grasping the hand pulse sensors on the stationary handle bars or wearing the heart rate transmitter (see Using Heart

Rate Transmitter section) will start the Heart Icon blinking (this may take a few seconds).The

Pulse Display Window will display your heart rate, or Pulse in beats per minute.

The consoles include a built-in fan to help keep you cool. To turn the fan on, press the button on the left side of the console.

PROGRAMMING THE CONSOLE

Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to suit your needs. Some of the information asked for is necessary to ensure the readouts are correct. You will be asked for your Age and Weight. Entering your Age is necessary during the Heart Rate programs to ensure the correct settings are in the program for your Age.

Otherwise the work settings could be too high or low for you. Entering your Weight aides in calculating a more correct Calorie reading. Although we cannot provide an exact calorie count, we do want to be as close as possible.

CALORIE NOTE: Calorie readings on every piece of exercise equipment, whether it is in a gym or at home, are not accurate and tend to vary widely. They are meant only as a guide to monitor your progress from workout to workout. The only way to measure your calorie burn accurately is in a clinical setting connected to a host of machines. This is because every person is different and burns calories at a different rate. Some good news is that you will continue to burn calories at an accelerated rate for at least an hour after you have finished exercising!

ENTERING A PROGRAM AND CHANGING SETTINGS

When you enter a program, by pressing a program key, then Enter key, you have the option of entering your own personal settings. If you want to workout without entering new settings, then just press the Start key. This will bypass the programming of data and take you directly to the start of your workout. If you want to change the personal settings then just follow the instructions in the Message Center. If you start a program without changing the settings, the default or saved settings will be used.

NOTE: Age and Weight default settings will change when you enter a new number. So the last Age and Weight entered will be saved as the new default settings. If you enter your Age and Weight the first time you use the

Fitness bike, you will not have to enter it every time you work out unless either your Age or Weight changes, or someone else enters a different Age and Weight.

PRESET PROGRAMS

The bike has five different programs that have been designed for a variety of workouts.

These Five programs have factory preset work level profiles for achieving different goals.

HILL

RESISTANCE

Resistance: This program follows a triangle or pyramid type of gradual progression from approximately 10% of maximum effort

(the level that you chose before starting this program) up to a maximum effort which lasts for 10% of the total workout time, then a gradual regression of resistance back to approximately

10% of maximum effort.

FAT BURN

RESISTANCE

Resistance: This program follows a quick progression up to the maximum resistance level (default or user input level) that is sustained for 2/3 of the workout. This program will challenge your ability to sustain your energy output for an extended period of time.

CARDIO

RESISTANCE

Resistance: This program presents a quick progression up to near maximum resistance level (default or user input level). It has slight fluctuations up and down to allow your heart rate to elevate, and then recover repeatedly, before beginning a quick cool down. This will build up your heart muscle and increase blood flow and lung capacity

STRENGTH

RESISTANCE

Resistance: This program has a gradual progression of resistance up to 100% of maximum effort that is sustained for

25% of workout duration. This will help build strength and muscular endurance in the lower body and gluts. A brief cool down follows.

.

INTERVAL

RESISTANCE

Resistance: This program takes you through high levels of intensity followed by recovery periods of low intensity. This program utilizes and develops your ”Fast Twitch” muscle fibers which are used when performing tasks that are intense and short in duration. These deplete your oxygen level and spike your heart rate, followed by periods of recovery and heart rate drop to replenish oxygen. Your cardiovascular system gets programmed to use oxygen more efficiently.

PROGRAMMING PRESET PROGRAMS

1. Select the desired program button then press the Enter key. adjust the age setting, using the Level Up and Down keys, then press the Enter key to accept the new number and proceed on to the next screen.

3. You are now asked to enter your Weight. You may adjust the

Weight value using the Level Up and Down keys, then press Enter to continue.

5. Now you are asked to adjust the Max Resistance Level. This is the peak exertion level you will experience during the program. Adjust the level and then press Enter.

6. Now you are finished editing the settings and can begin your workout by pressing the Start key. You can also go back and modify your settings by pressing the Enter.

7. If you want to increase or decrease the resistance at any time during the program, press the Level Up or Down keys on the console or the handlebars. This will change the resistance settings of the entire profile, although the profile picture on the screen will not change. The reason for this is so that you can see the entire profile at all times. If the profile picture is changed, it also would be distorted and not a true representation of the actual profile. When you make a change to the resistance, the Message Center will show the current column and program maximum levels of work.

8. During the program you will be able to scroll through the data in the message window by pressing the Enter key.

9. When the program ends the Message Center will show a summary of your workout.

The summary will be displayed for a short time, then the console will return to the start-up display.

CUSTOMS USER DEFINED PROGRAMS

There are two customizable User programs that allow you to build and save your own workout.

The two programs, User.1 and User.2, operate exactly the same way so there is no reason to describe them separately. You can build your own custom program by following the instructions below or you can save any other preset program you complete as a custom program. Both programs allow you to further personalize it by adding your name.

1. Press the User.1 or User.2 key. The Message Center will show a welcome message. If you had previously saved a program the message will contain your name. Then press the Enter key to begin programming.

2. When you press Enter, the Message Center will show “Name - A”, if there is no name saved.

If the name “David” had been previously saved the Message Center will show “Name -

David” and the D will be blinking. If there is a name saved you can change it or you may press the Stop key to keep the name and continue to the next step. If you want to enter a name use the Up/Down key to change the first letter then press Enter to save the first letter and continue to the next letter. When you have finished entering the name press the Stop key to save the name and continue to the next step.

3. The Message Center will ask you to enter your Age. You may enter your age, using the

Level. Up/Down keys, then press the Enter key to accept the new value and proceed on to the next screen.

4. You are now asked to enter your Weight. You may adjust the weight value using the Up/

Down keys or the numeric key pad, then press Enter to continue.

5. Next is Time. You may adjust the time and press Enter to continue.

6. Now you are asked to adjust the Max Resistance Level of the program, press Enter when resistance has been selected.

7. Now the first column will be blinking and you are asked to adjust the resistance level for the first segment (SEGMENT > 1) of the workout by using the Level Up key. When you finish adjusting the first segment, or if you don’t want to change, then press Enter to continue to the next segment.

8. The next segment will show the same workload resistance level as the previously adjusted segment. Repeat the same process as the last segment then press Enter.

Continue this process until all twenty segments have been set.

9. The Message Center will then tell you to press Enter to save the program. After saving the program the Message Center says “New program saved” then will give you the option to start or modify the program. Pressing Stop will exit to the start up screen.

HEART RATE PROGRAMS

Before we get started, a word about Heart Rate:

The old motto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits of exercising comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of heart rate monitors. With the proper use of a heart rate monitor, many people find that their usual choice of exercise intensity was either too high or too low and exercise is much more enjoyable by maintaining their heart rate in the desired benefit range.

To determine the benefit range in which you wish to train, you must first determine your

Maximum Heart Rate. This can be accomplished by using the following formula: 220 minus your age. This will give you the Maximum heart rate (MHR) for someone of your age. To determine the effective heart rate range for specific goals you simply calculate a percentage your MHR. Your Heart rate training zone is 50% to 90% of your maximum heart rate. 60% of your MHR is the zone that burns fat while 80% is for strengthening the cardio vascular system. This 60% to 80% is the zone to stay in for maximum benefit.

For someone who is 40 years old their target heart rate zone is calculated:

220 – 40 = 180 (maximum heart rate)

180 x .6 = 108 beats per minute (60% of maximum)

180 X .8 = 144 beats per minute (80% of maximum)

So for a 40 year old the training zone would be

108 to 144 beats per minute.

If you enter your age during programming the console will perform this calculation automatically. Entering your age is used for the Heart Rate control programs and also for the

Heart rate bar graph. After calculating your Maximum Heart Rate you can decide upon which goal you would like to pursue.

The two most popular reasons for, or goals, of exercise are cardiovascular fitness (training for the heart and lungs) and weight control. The black columns on the chart below represent the Maximum Heart Rate for a person whose age is listed at the bottom of each column. The training heart rate, for either cardiovascular fitness or weight loss, is represented by two different lines that cut diagonally through the chart. A definition of the lines’ goal is in the bottom left-hand corner of the chart. If your goal is cardiovascular fitness or if it is weight loss, it can be achieved by training at 80% or 60%, respectively, of your Maximum Heart Rate on a schedule approved by your physician. Consult your physician before participating in any exercise program.

With all Dyaco Canada Inc. Heart Rate Control bike machines you may use the heart rate monitor feature without using the Heart Rate Control program. This function can be used during manual mode or during any of the nine different programs. The Heart Rate Control program automatically controls resistance at the pedals.

Rate of Perceived Exertion

Heart rate is important but listening to your body also has a lot of advantages. There are more variables involved in how hard you should workout than just heart rate. Your stress level, physical health, emotional health, temperature, humidity, the time of day, the last time you ate and what you ate, all contribute to the intensity at which you should workout. If you listen to your body, it will tell you all of these things.

The rate of perceived exertion (RPE), also know as the Borg scale, was developed by

Swedish physiologist G.A.V. Borg. This scale rates exercise intensity from 6 to 20 depending upon how you feel or the perception of your effort.

The scale is as follows:

Rating Perception of Effort

6 Minimal

7 Very, very light

8 Very, very light +

9 Very light

10 Very light +

11 Fairly light

12 Comfortable

13 Somewhat hard

14 Somewhat hard +

15 Hard

16 Hard +

17 Very hard

18 Very hard +

19 Very, very hard

20 Maximal

You can get an approximate heart rate level for each rating by simply adding a zero to each rating. For example a rating of 12 will result in an approximate heart rate of 120 beats per minute. Your RPE will vary depending up the factors discussed earlier. That is the major benefit of this type of training. If your body is strong and rested, you will feel strong and your pace will feel easier. When your body is in this condition, you are able to train harder and the

RPE will support this. If you are feeling tired and sluggish, it is because your body needs a break. In this condition, your pace will feel harder. Again, this will show up in your RPE and you will train at the proper level for that day.

Using a Heart Rate Transmitter

How to wear your wireless chest strap transmitter:

1. Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the locking parts.

2. Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too tight to remain comfortable.

3. Position the transmitter with the logo centered in the middle of your body facing away from your chest (some people must position the transmitter slightly left of center). Attach the final end of the elastic strap by inserting the round end and, using the locking parts, secure the transmitter and strap around your chest.

4. Position the transmitter immediately below the pectoral muscles.

5. Sweat is the best conductor to measure very minute heart beat electrical signals. However, plain water can also be used to pre-wet the electrodes (2 black square areas on the reverse side of the belt and either side of transmitter). It’s also recommended that you wear the transmitter strap a few minutes before your work out. Some users, because of body chemistry, have a more difficult time in achieving a strong, steady signal at the beginning. After “warming up”, this problem lessens. As noted, wearing clothing over the transmitter/strap doesn’t affect performance.

6. Your workout must be within range - distance between transmitter/receiver – to achieve a strong steady signal. The length of range may vary somewhat but generally stay close enough to the console to maintain good, strong, reliable readings. Wearing the transmitter immediately against bare skin assures you of proper operation. If you wish, you may wear the transmitter over a shirt. To do so, moisten the areas of the shirt that the electrodes will rest upon.

Note: The transmitter is automatically activated when it detects activity from the user’s heart. Additionally, it automatically deactivates when it does not receive any activity. Although the transmitter is water resistant, moisture can have the effect of creating false signals, so you should take precautions to completely dry the transmitter after use to prolong battery life (estimated transmitter battery life is 2500 hours). The replacement battery is Panasonic CR2032.

Erratic Operation:

Caution! Do not use this bike for Heart Rate Control unless a steady, solid Actual

Heart Rate value is being displayed. High, wild, random numbers being displayed indicate a problem.

Areas to look at for interference, which may cause erratic heart rate:

(1) Microwave ovens, TVs, small appliances, etc.

(2) Fluorescent lights.

(3) Some household security systems.

(4) Perimeter fence for a pet.

(5) Some people have problems with the transmitter picking up a signal from their skin. If you have problems try wearing the transmitter upside down. Normally the transmitter will be oriented so the logo is right side up.

(6) The antenna that picks up your heart rate is very sensitive. If there is an outside noise source, turning the whole machine 90 degrees may de-tune the interference.

(7) Another Individual wearing a transmitter within 3’ of your machine’s console.

If you continue to experience problems contact your dealer.

General Maintenance

1. Wipe down all areas in the sweat path with a damp cloth after each workout.

2. If a squeak, thump, clicking or rough feeling develops the main cause is most likely one of two reasons:

I. The hardware was not sufficiently tightened during assembly. All bolts that were installed during assembly need to be tightened as much as possible. It may be necessary to use a larger wrench than the one provided if you cannot tighten the bolts sufficiently. I cannot stress this point enough; 90% of calls to the service department for noise issues can be traced to loose hardware.

II. The crank arm nut needs to be retightened

III. If squeaks or other noises persist, check that the unit is properly leveled. There are

2 leveling pads on the bottom of the rear stabilizer, use a 14mm wrench (or adjustable wrench) to adjust the levelers.

MAINTENANCE MENU IN CONSOLE SOFTWARE

(may be called Engineering mode, depending on version) press and hold down the

Start, Stop and Enter keys while pedaling. Keep holding the keys down for about 5 seconds and the message window will display “Engineering mode menu”. Press enter to access the menu below:
