2 . I N S T A L L A T I O N A A N D D J U S T M E N T A. Positioning Tempo™ 1. Pick a Cheerful Place It is a good idea to place your Tempo™ in a large room with plenty of sunshine, light and mirrors. Tempo™ should also be placed on a solid surface or short nap carpet so it does not “walk” or build up static electricity when being used. 2. Keep Tempo™ Level To help prevent your Tempo™ from rocking on an uneven floor, there are leveling disks at each corner (Fig. 1).
C. Adjusting Your Tempo™ There are five different adjustment features available on your Tempo™ to ensure your workouts are comfortable and provide maximum benefit. Taking the time to carefully adjust your Tempo™ to your dimensions is strongly recommended. Keep in mind that the steps which follow will establish a basic neutral riding position which will work for most people, but perhaps not for you.
3 . U S I N G Y O U R T E M P O ™ WARNING TO AVOID SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY: Before beginning any conditioning or fitness program, consult with your physician or health professional. Only this person can establish the proper conditioning or fitness program that is appropriate for your age and physical condition. • If you feel faint, dizzy, short of breath, or if you have chest or other pains, STOP IMMEDIATELY! Consult your physician before you continue.
4 . M A I N T E N A N C E Your Tempo™ indoor exercise bicycle should require very little maintenance. To keep it looking new, wipe the surface with a clean damp cloth. Use a little dish washing liquid on stubborn dirt, but never use abrasives. Be certain to wipe all perspiration from the Tempo™ when you are finished. Perspiration contains salt and other substances that can damage surfaces or leave a white residue.
