Important Safety Instructions WARNING When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following: Read all instructions before using this appliance. DANGER - To reduce the risk of electric shock: Always unplug this appliance from the electrical outlet immediately after using and before cleaning.
Fitness Equipment Safety Instructions To disconnect turn all controls to the off position, then remove the plug from the outlet. • • • • • • Do not operate equipment on deeply padded, plush or shag carpet. Damage to both carpet and equipment may result. Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult a physician. This is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health conditions.
Circuit Breakers: Some circuit breakers used in homes are not rated for high inrush currents that can occur when a equipment is first turned on or even during use. If your equipment is tripping the house circuit breaker (even though it is the proper current rating) but the circuit breaker on the equipment itself does not trip, you will need to replace the home breaker with a high inrush type. This is not a warranty defect. This is a condition we as a manufacture have no ability to control.
Important Operation Instructions • • • • • NEVER operate this Semi-Recumbent Bike without reading and completely understanding the results of any operational change you request from the computer. Understand that changes in resistance do not occur immediately. Set your desired resistance level on the computer console and release the adjustment key. The computer will obey the command gradually. NEVER use your fitness bike during an electrical storm.

XBR25 CONSOLE OPERATION Large Blue-LED Matrix Window Message Center Convenient cargo compartment for keys, phone, or MP3 player Fan to keep you cool Six innovative programs offer a variety of work-outs Easy-Touch Control Buttons 14
POWER When the power cord is connected to the equipment, the console will automatically power up. 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.
Quick Start This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers up 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/Down buttons. 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.
the Start key. If the Stop button is pressed twice during a workout, the program will end and the console will display your Workout Summary (Total time, Avg. Speed, Avg. Watts, Avg. HR, total Laps). If the Stop key is held down for 3 seconds or a third time during the program, the console will perform a complete Reset. During data entry for a program the Stop key performs a previous screen or segment function. This allows you to go back to change programming data.
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.
Programmable Features MANUAL The Manual program works as the name implies, manually. This means that you control the workload and not the computer. To start the Manual program, follow the instructions below or just press the Manual button, then the Enter button and follow the directions in the Message Center. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Press the Manual key, then press the Enter key. The Message Center will ask you to enter your Age.
Preset Programs The Semi-Recumbent Bike has four different programs that have been designed for a variety of workouts. These four programs have factory preset work level profiles for achieving different goals.
INTERVAL 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. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
Heart Rate Programs 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.
If you enter your age during programming the console will perform this calculation automatically. Entering your age is used for the Heart Rate programs. After calculating your MHR 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 above represent the MHR for a person whose age is listed at the bottom of each column.
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.
Wearing The Chest Strap 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the interlocking key. Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too tight to remain comfortable. Position the transmitter with the logo centered in the middle of your torso facing away from your chest (some people must position the transmitter slightly left of center).
Erratic Operation Caution! Do not use this Semi-Recumbent Bike for Heart Rate programs unless a steady, solid Actual Heart Rate value is being displayed. High, wild, random numbers being displayed indicate a problem. Areas to look for interference which may cause erratic heart rate: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Microwave ovens, TV’s, small appliances, etc. Fluorescent lights. Some household security systems. Perimeter fence for a pet.
After selecting your heart rate target, the program will attempt to keep you at or within 3-5 heart beats per minute of this value. Follow the prompts in the Message Center to maintain your selected heart rate value. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Press the HR 1 or HR 2 key then press the Enter key. 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.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE 1. 2. Wipe down all areas in the sweat path with a damp cloth after each workout. 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.
