HOW TO USE THE EXERCISE BIKE

HOW TO ADJUST THE HEIGHT OF THE SEAT

HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDAL STRAPS

To adjust the pedal straps, first pull the ends of the straps off the tabs on the pedals. Then, adjust the straps to the desired position, and press the ends of the straps onto the tabs.

HOW TO LEVEL THE EXERCISE BIKE

If the exercise bike rocks slightly on your floor during use, turn one or both of the leveling feet under the rear stabilizer until the exercise bike is level.

HOW TO USE THE TABLET HOLDER

IMPORTANT: The tablet holder was designed for use with most full-size tablets. Do not place any other electronic device or object in the tablet holder.

To insert a tablet into the tablet holder, set the bottom edge of the tablet in the tray. Make sure that the tablet is firmly secured in the tablet holder. Reverse these actions to remove the tablet from the tablet holder.Golds Gym Cycle Trainer 300 Ci Upright Exercise Bike-9

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The advanced console offers an array of features designed to make your workouts more effective and enjoyable.

When you use the manual mode of the console, you can change the resistance of the pedals with the touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will provide continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using the handgrip heart rate monitor or a compatible heart rate monitor. See page 19 for information about purchasing an optional chest heart rate monitor.

You can also connect your smart device to the console and use an iFit® app to record and track your workout information.

Lose unwanted pounds with the progressive 8-week weight-loss program. Each workout in the program controls the resistance of the pedals as it guides you through an effective workout.

The console also offers a selection of preset workouts. Each preset workout automatically changes the resistance of the pedals and prompts you to maintain a target speed as it guides you through an effective workout.

You can even connect your personal audio player to the console sound system and listen to your favorite music or audiobooks while you exercise.

To use the manual mode, see page 15. To use an 8-week weight-loss workout, see page 17. To use a preset workout, see page 18.

To use the sound system, see page 19. To connect your smart device to the console, see page 19. To connect your heart rate monitor to the console, see page 20. To use the settings mode, see page 20.

Note: During a preset workout, the display will show the time remaining in the workout instead of the elapsed time.

The lower display: This display will show your pedaling speed in miles per hour or kilometers per hour and the approximate number of calories (Cals.) you have burned. The display will change every few seconds. Change the volume level of the console by pressing the volume increase and decrease buttons. To pause the console, stop pedaling. When the console is paused, the displays will pause. To continue your workout, simply resume pedaling. To reset the displays to zero, press the On/Reset button.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance is important for optimal performance and to reduce wear. Inspect and properly tighten all parts each time the exercise bike is used. Replace any worn parts immediately.

To clean the exercise bike, use a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the console, keep liquids away from the console and keep the console out of direct sunlight.

CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING

Most console problems are the result of low batteries. To replace the batteries, see assembly step 7 on page 10.

If the console does not display your heart rate when you use the handgrip heart rate monitor, see step 5 on page 16.

HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH

If the console does not display correct feedback, the reed switch should be adjusted.

To adjust the reed switch, you must remove the rear and front upright covers as described below.

See assembly step 5 on page 9. Using a standard screwdriver, release the tabs along the bottom edges of the Rear and Front Upright Covers (19, 20), remove the two M4 x 12mm Screws (57), and then remove the Rear and Front Upright Covers.
