Overview
Manual Mode is available both through Quick Start and through the Manual program where it includes
the program time and user weight adjustment.
Manual Mode is not a preprogrammed workout. Instead, it allows you to choose setting as you
workout. You may choose your settings according to how you feel or your endurance level. Since
you remain in control, Manual Mode may be the best choice for beginners or for those who have not
worked out in a long time.
When you workout in Manual Mode, be sure to include a three-to-five minute warm-up and cool-down
period. You can warm-up by setting a low resistance and then gradually increase the resistance to the
target for your workout. Reverse this process for your cool-down period, lowering the resistance
gradually.
Press the Quick Start key to workout in Manual Mode. To increase or decrease the resistance while in
Manual Mode use the Level + - keys.
Selecting the Manual program key and completing setup results in the Manual Program Active State.
On entry, a long tone indicates the beginning of the session. The dot matrix has a horizontal weight of
fifteen seconds per dot. Vertical weight is mode specific. The resistance mode is pre-defined in Setup
to default to Bike mode “bike” (factory default), options are Constant Power Mode “CP” or Speed
Control Mode “ISO”. Follow the instructions in the Setup and Assembly chapter to learn how to
change setup default values.
Bike mode (bike)
User selects the level or “gear”, which increases as crank speed increases and decreases as crank
speed decreases to simulate riding a bicycle on the road.
Constant Power Mode (CP)
User selects the WATTs setting. The cycle controls the load relative to crank speed to maintain that
power (Watt) level. Pedaling faster decreases the resistance to maintain the total power setting.
Pedaling slower increases the resistance to maintain the total power setting.
Speed Control Mode (ISO)
The cycle sets an expectation in Watts, which the user must pedal at a set speed to maintain. If the
user pedals harder, the cycle responds quickly by increasing resistance. If the user pedals lighter, the
cycle quickly lowers resistance. The set speed and level are both available adjustments. See definition
