STEP 8
Seat Position Adjustment
The seat position on HF-RB9800-G can be adjusted to suit people of different heights.
The position can be altered in two ways: an automatic gas spring moves the seat with
in a set range; and the placement of the gas spring's connection to the frame changes
the range of movement. Below are instructions for adjusting the seat position via the
gas spring.
To adjust the seat position, pull up the adjustment handle (A7). For convenience,the
gas spring automatically moves the seat upward when there is no weight on the seat.
From the seated position, you can push back on pedals or pull on the handle under
the display to take weight off the seat. Release the handle when the seat is in your
preferred position. To move downward, pull up the handle. Your weight on the seat
allows the spring to gently move the seat downward. Release the handle when the
seat is in your preferred position.
27
To adjust the seat position via holes in the frame, follow the instructions below. The
frame has two sets of holes, one in front (a) and one more toward the back (b), for the
gas spring connection. Connecting the gas spring at the front hole makes the seat
closer and lower in relation to the display. Connecting the gas spring at the back hole
makes the seat further and higher from the display. Tall people would probably prefer
a set up with the gas spring connected at the back hole. This is the position set at the
factory.
Follow steps below to change the gas spring connection from one set of holes to the
other.
1. Use the gas spring to adjust the seat to the lowest position.
2. Place an 8- to 12-inch (20- to 30-cm) object under the back part of the frame as
shown.
28
3. Disconnect and reconnect the gas spring as follows.
(a) Remove the screw and bushing.
(b) Tap out the axle pin.
(c) Align the end of the gas spring with the desired hole in the frame.
(d) Insert the axle pin into the hole in the frame and that in the gas spring. Secure
the bushing and screw.
(e) Remove the object under the frame to prepare for normal operation.
29
STEP 9
How To Connect The Ground Wire
Note: The installation of a ground wire is required by European safety standards. The
ground wire is not required by North American safety standards.
Ground wire installation: Use a screw to secure one end of the ground wire to the
product frame as shown. Secure the other end of the ground wire to the building
ground connection.

represented by the flashing LED.
˙Settings, for resistance, for instance, can be changed as you exercise.
˙As you workout in one program, you can activate another program. Time
continues to accrue.
˙If you enter one workout from another workout after activating a user ID,
workout distance, time, and calorie values continue to accumulate to that
specific user ID.
˙After the workout time period expires, the unit enters cool down mode.
POWER SAVING
A power saving function operates under both QUICK START and START modes.
When no one moves the pedals, “PEDAL TO START” scrolls across the display
every four seconds. If no one pedals for 15 seconds, all LEDs extinguish except for
four lines: - - - -. If no one pedals for two minutes, the unit automatically shuts off.
This function prevents excessive draining of the battery.
OPERATION Cool Down
When the workout time is reached, "ACCU DATA" appears. Accumulated data,
including values for time, distance, calories, and average heart rate, appears. Then
" COOL DOWN" appears as the unit enters a two-minute cool down period. When
the count down reaches 0:00, program indicators flash, and the " SELECT
PROGRAM" prompt appears. Press the QUICK START key to exercise without
benefit of a user ID, or press the START key to exercise with the benefit of a user ID.
36
OPERATION Workout Programs
The following explains features of the workout programs.
TRACK
The track workout program allows you to manually control resistance. It could be
called“manual.”
HILL
The HILL program contains three hill patterns to choose from. A different pattern
appears each time the HILL key is pressed: HILL-1, HILL-2, HILL-3.
RANDOM
The RANDOM program contains randomly generated workout patterns. A new
pattern appears each time the RANDOM key is pressed.
INTERVAL (1:1, 1:2)
There are two interval programs, 1:1 and 1:2. Each interval program includes two
segments, a work segment and a rest segment. Because you determine resistance
for both segments, your work segment could be the first or the second segment,
depending on your preference.
Interval 1:1 indicates one segment of one minute in duration, followed by a second
segment of one minute in duration. Interval 1:2 indicates one interval of one minute
in duration followed by a second interval of two minutes in duration.
Each time the interval key is pressed, one of the two interval programs appears.
When your preferred interval program appears, press the ENTER key to activate it.
Then follow prompts to set your interval segment resistance settings. After you begin
exercising, the resistance level of any segment in an interval program can be
changed. The new resistance level will then become the resistance level each time
that segment is activated.
WEIGHT LOSS AND CARDIO
WEIGHT LOSS and CARDIO workouts are heart rate control programs. In heart rate
control programs, resistance automatically adjusts to keep your heart rate within an
optimum range for your exercise goals.
Target heart rates are calculated as follows:
<1> WT LOSS maintains a heart rate at 65% of your maximum heart rate, for
optimum weight loss. It is calculated as follows: (220 - AGE) × 65％.
37
<2> CARDIO maintains a heart rate of 80% of your maximum heart rate, for
optimum cardio conditioning. It is calculated as follows: (220 - AGE) × 80％.
At the start of the workout or while exercising, if the user's heart rate is not detected,
the message "NO HEART RATE READING, PLEASE CHECK TRANSMITTER"
appears. At this time, while no heart rate is detected, resistance can only be adjusted
Manually.
When heart rate control starts operating, a message like the one below appears.

8. ABOUT HEART RATE DETECTION AND PRESENTATION
Heart rate detection functions are optional and may not be included in your particular
model. If your bike is equipped with these functions, please note the following
information.
HEART RATE Telemetry
The word "telemetry heart rate" refers to the detection of the heart rate, usually via a
strap worn on the exerciser's chest and transmitted over the air for reception by a
receiver built into the product. The following explains conditions that influence the
performance of the telemetry heart rate function in all products.
1. The telemetry heart rate transmitter emits a wireless 5kHz signal that is harmless to
the human body. Inside the transmitter is a 3V battery (CR2032). If the battery
charge is too low, either the reception distance shortens or there will be no reception
whatsoever.
2. Secure the telemetry heart rate transmitter on your chest so it is neither too tight nor
too loose. Moisten the skin for better contact.
3. The telemetry heart rate receiver accepts a 5kHz wireless signal, but because the
signal varies from 20Hz to 20KHz, it is susceptible to environmental interference.
Stereos, TVs, other electronic products, the vibration between the unit and the floor,
and other factors may interfere with telemetry heart rate signal reception. For best
results, install the product in a location free from interfering items.
4. Place fitness products apart by at least 100 cm to avoid having the heart rate value
from an exerciser on one product appear on another product.
5. Heart rate values are for comparison only. Do not use them for medical treatment
or other purposes.
CONTACT Heart Rate
It is easy to use the contact heart rate mechanism. Simply put both hands on the silver
contact plates (one per side) and hold them there continuously. As soon as your pulse
is received and calculated, the heart rate will automatically appear on the display.
Please note that some people have very weak heart beats. This makes heart rate
detection difficult. Under such circumstances, the contact heart rate mechanism may
not detect heart rate.
Please note the following:
1. For best results, continuously hold the contact heart rate plates.
2. It is difficult to detect the heart rate of people with low systolic blood pressure.
3. It is difficult to detect the heart rate of people with dry, course palms. Keeping palms
smooth and damp improves heart rate detection.
40
4.The vibration of treadmills at speeds over 4 mph / 6.4 kph makes heart rate detection
difficult. Also, if your hands move, heart rate detection becomes difficult.
SUGGESTIONS
For better heart rate detection, keep hands in one place on the contact plates.
Or wear a telemetry heart rate strap on your chest.
NOTE: AVOID STATIC ELECTRICITY
In cold, dry areas, static electricity can interfere with unit operation. In such
environments, touching metal may cause shocks from static electricity.
Suggestions:
Before touching metal, touch a material with electrically isolative properties, for
instance, plastic or foam, to avoid shocks from static electricity.
Because heart rate contact plates are made of metal, to avoid static shock, first
touch foam grips, then touch heart rate contact plates.

9. GUIDELINES FOR EXERCISE
HOW HARD SHOULD I EXERCISE?
Studies show that to achieve the
benefits of aerobic exercise, it is
necessary to work within your
training zone. Your training zone
depends on your age and level of
fitness.
HE
The above chart indicates the
recommended Heart Rate training
zones (darkened area of the chart).
These figuress are calculated by
taking 220 minus your age, and
calculating 80% for your maximum
and 65% for the minimum heart
rate for aerobic exercise.
CAUTION:
Heart Rate training zones are approximations. Always check with your physicians to
learn what appropriate heart rate level is best for your fitness level.
HOW LONG SHOULD I EXERCISE?
The duration of your exercise session depends on your fitness level. In general, it is
recommended that you maintain your heart rate in the training zone for at least 15 to
20 minutes to realize an aerobic benefit. Beginners should always start slowly and
bring their workout sessions up to 20 minutes or more. As your fitness level
increases, you will be able to maintain your heart rate in the training zone for longer
periods: Usually between 20 and 30 minutes.
When first starting your workout, use the first several minutes to warm up, then
slowly increase your workload to bring your heart rate into your specific training zone.
At the end of your workout, gradually decease your workload, then exercise lightly
as a "cool down".
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I EXERCISE?
Research indicates that to achieve the greatest benefits, exercise should be
performed three to five times per week. It is important to allow sufficient time, at least
24 hours, for your body to recover after exercise.

10. MAINTENANCE CHECK LIST
Like cars, fitness products require maintenance. Regular maintenance extends the
life of your fitness product, and failure to provide regular maintenance will void your
warranty. Copy the maintenance log sheet and record maintenance work.
DAILY TASKS
1. Check the product for proper operation and user safety. Make sure that pedal
straps, pedals, cranks and other parts are secure and safe for operation. Secure
any loose screws. If you have questions about the operation or safety of a product,
unplug it and place an "Out-of-Service" note on the product
.
2. Use a clean, lint-free towel, dampened with a mixture of Simple Green and water,
to wipe the product clean. Include the display, grips, handrails, and covers. (Do
NOT use cleaners with alcohol, ammonia or other damaging chemicals. Never
spray or pour any liquid directly on the product.)
MONTHLY TASKS
1. Inspect the power cord (if applicable) and grips for damage.
2. Make sure the pedestal and other parts are secure, and that screws are tight.
3. Use a clean, lint-free towel to wipe the product clean. Take special care to clean
pedals and pedal straps. Inspect seat carriage and seat back operation, if
applicable.
4. On X-Trainers, secure screws on the arms. Inspect arm and remote operation.
Use a clean, lint-free towel to clean the arms and handles.
HALF-YEARLY TASKS
1. Turn off and unplug the unit (if applicable). Remove the cover. Wait five minutes to
ensure there is no power to the drive board. Vacuum carefully. Avoid bumping
wires or components.
2. Check drive belt for wear. Replace it if there are cracks or damage. (Note:
SportsArt drive belts last a long, long time. Chances are you will not have to
replace a drive belt within the warranty period.) Align pulleys if needed.
Note that product maintenance requirements depend on usage and environment.
This schedule is based on average use. Some products may require maintenance
more often than is suggested here. Please call the SportsArt Service Department if
you have any questions.
CAUTION
Use standard safety procedures when accessing electrical parts. For products with
power cords, turn off unit power. Allow capacitors to discharge by waiting five
minutes before disconnecting the power cord from the power socket. After waiting
five minutes, remove covers to access the drive board and other components. For
products without power cords, let the unit sit without use for five minutes before
