PEDALS
Screw the pedals into the crank arms. Screw the
left pedal (marked L for left-hand thread) into
the left crank arm. Use the wrench and rotate
it counterclockwise. Then screw the right pedal
(marked R for right-hand thread) tightly clockwise
into the right crank arm. Now attach the pedal
straps to the pedals and adjust as desired.
TRANSFORMER
Insert the small connector into the receptacle (N)
on the unit housing. Then connect the transformer
to a 230 volt power outlet. The unit is now ready
to use.
Before connecting the equipment to a power
source, make sure that local voltage matches that
indicated on the type plate: the equipment operates
at either 230 V or 115 V (North American
version). The equipment must be connected

screws under the rear support appropriately.
EXERCISE LEVEL
Working out using an exercise cycle is excellent
aerobic exercise, the principle being that the
exercise should be suitably light, but of long
duration. Aerobic exercise is based on improving
the body's maximum oxygen uptake, which in turn
improves endurance and fitness. The ability of the
body to burn fat as a fuel is directly dependent on
its oxygen uptake capacity. Aerobic exercise should
above all be pleasant. You should perspire, but you
should not get out of breath during the workout.
You must, for example, be able to speak and not
just pant while pedaling. You should exercise at
least three times a week, 30 minutes at a time, to
reach a basic fitness level. Maintaining this level
requires a few exercise sessions each week. Once
the basic condition has been reached, it is easily
improved, simply by increasing the number of
exercise sessions. Exercise is always rewarding for
weight loss, because it is the only way of increasing
the energy spent by the body. This is why it is
always worthwhile to combine regular exercise
with a healthy diet. A dieter should exercise daily
- at first 30 minutes or less at a time, gradually
increasing the daily workout time to one hour.
You should start slowly at a low pedaling speed
and low resistance, because strenuous exercise
may subject the heart and circulatory system to
excessive strain. As fitness improves, resistance and
pedaling speed can be increased gradually. Exercise
