Let's assemble 1 Mounting Front Leg 2 Mounting Rear Leg 3 Mounting Seat and 4 Assembling Rear Handlebar • Remove the leg plate from the main unit. (This plate will not be used for assembly.) • Place the front leg (with casters) under the main unit as shown in figure and fasten screws securely with the hexagon wrench making sure nuts locate at the bottom of the leg.
How to Adjust each part 1 Level Adjustment 2 Adjusting Seat 3 Adjusting Seat Height 4 Adjusting Pedal Belts • The seat height can be adjusted at your choice. • It is possible to adjust the pedal belt length according to your shoes size. Position • Turn the level adjuster on the rear leg so that the unit is placed stably. • When the indication line on the level adjuster is at the top, the rear leg is at the same level as the caster of the front leg.
Handling the pulse(earlobe) sensor This model detects and displays your pulse rate during exercise by the pulse sensor from your earlobe. Being a sensitive electronic part, the pulse sensor must be handled with sufficient care. 1 Installing the pulse 2 Use of sensor clip sensor 3 Using pulse sensor 4 Checking the Pulse during exercise • Insert the pulse sensor plug into the pulse sensor jack on the back of the control unit, and hang the sensor cable on the cable hook.
Your first ride 1 Turn on power and attach pulse sensor • Insert the DC connector into the AC adapter inlet at the right side of the main unit. • Insert the plug of the AC adaptor into any household AC outlet (120V). 2 Insert the start card 3 Checking the screen (red card provided) display • Find the red card (start card) in the packaging of the exerciser. Insert this card into the appropriate slot (card inlet) as shown in the diagram below.
The five programs of operation 1 Aerobic power measurement (physical fitness test) • Over a period of 10 minutes, you will encounter three different levels of pedal resistance. Your pulse will change in response to the different levels of resistance, and this change in pulse will be used to calculate your overall fitness level, also expressed is MOU (VO 2 max). MOU stands for maximum oxgen uptake. The higher your overall fitness level, the greater your endurance.
Using your Cateye ErgociserTM without a data card The red card you used on your first ride contains data used in selecting different types of training. Even without this card, you can use buttons on the control unit to run through the same operations. 1 Switch on power supply 2 Select a training program • Plug in the AC adaptor and turn on the switch at the right side of the main unit. • In the screen "AUTO" appears blinking.

Your strength level and training index (1) Purpose of Exercise PULSE RATE (bpm) TARGET PULSE RATE CHART 200 • Have you ever been out of breath after climbing a flight of stairs or after a brisk walk? When we are walking, running and even sleeping, our body is taking in oxygen and generating energy. Oxygen taken in by the lungs is sent to the entire body via the circulatory system. If the function of the circulatory system, i.e.
Your strength level and training index (2) Physical Fitness Level and Training Index The "Aerobic power measurement" program evaluates your physical fitness level according to 5 levels, and it also evaluates your maximum oxygen uptake with an estimated value. Based on the result, you can choose your own training level (program type and exercise intensity) from the following index. 3 Manual Training • In this program, the exercise intensity is set by the pedal resistance (torque: kg.m.).
Aerobic power measurement (1) 1 Select the Aerobic Power Measurement Program • For program selection see the Starting up section page 16. Result Display, 4 Test Cool Down MOU ml/kg·min PFL 2 • Input your age, pulse limit, weight and sex. The initial display prior to input is as in the drawing. The numeric for age is blinking.
Aerobic power measurement (2) Test Protocol Physical Fitness Level (PFL) • There are five physical fitness levels: 1 ~ 5. These levels are relative evaluations that compare your maximum oxygen uptake (MOU), estimated by the aerobic power measurement program, with the values of other people of the same age and sex (Physical Fitness Level Test Table).
Automatic training 1 Select the Automatic Training Program • For program selection see the Starting up section page 16. Input Conditions • Input age, pulse limit, exercise time and the target pulse rate. The initial display before input is as in the drawing, with the numeric for age blinking.
Isopower (constant load) training 1 Select the Isopower Training Program • For program selection see the Starting Up section page 16. 5 Exercise at Constant Wattage • After the WARM symbol goes out, the pedal resistance (torque kg·m) increases or decreases according to the pedal cadence. During exercise the pedal resistance (torque: kg·m) changes in 0.1 kg·m units to maintain the set value for wattage. rpm 2 • Input age, pulse limit, exercise time and set wattage.
Manual training 1 Select the Manual Training Program • For program selection see the Starting up section page 16. 5 • Exercise with the set pedal resistance (torque, kg·m). Exercise rpm • Input age, pulse limit, exercise time, and the setting torque value. The initial display prior to input is as in the drawing. The numeric for age is blinking. 2 Input Conditions Age Pulse Limit Exercise Time Set Torque Value PLL AGE TM min:sec MANUAL TTQ kg·m Initial Value 40 160 bpm 20 min 1.
Hill profile training 1 Select the Hill Profile Training Program • For program selection see the Starting up section page 16. 5 • The buzzer sounds at the specified time and the program completely ends. Review the calorie consumption using the button when you get close to the specified time. End Program • The LCD returns to the initial screen. rpm 2 • Input pulse limit, exercise time, and the exercise pattern. The initial display prior to input is as in the drawing. The numeric for age is blinking.
How to make a data card Examples of data card minutes 9 MANU 9 MANU 8 If you record your training conditions to this "Data Card", you can set the conditions merely by inserting the card into the card inlet of the control unit. You can start a program just by inserting the card and pressing the button, saving all the button operation process.

Caution: Do not disconnect the cable.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Problems noted in the following chart are not disorders. Prior to seeking repair, read the contents of the entire chart first. Item to check Problem Display does not appear. ERROR or irregular display appears when you insert the data card. The pulse rate is not displayed, remaining "0". Is the power supply connected?
