too loose, the fan may be damaged. If the chain is too tight, the bearings may be damaged. Checkthe
chain periodically in the following manner.
1. Remove the right pedal assembly and the right side shield (see the exploded drawing).
2. Check the tightness of the chain. There should be almost no up and down movement in the chain.
3, If the chain is properly adjusted, reattach the right side shield and pedal assembly, If the chain
requires adjustment, remove the fan shield from the front of the bike.
4. Locate the fan adjustment nut. If the chain is loose, turn the nut clockwise until the correct tension
is reached. If the chain is too tight, turn the nut counterclockwise. Be sure the fan is aligned with
the frame, and reattach the fan shield. Reattach the side shield and pedal assembly.
Always check the chain if it slips gr causes excessive noise while pedaling. A few drops of light, multi-
purpose oil should be applied to the chain every three months.

falling short of causing breathlessness and fatigue: The proper level of exertion can be determined
using the heart rate as a guide. For effective aerobic exercise, the heart rate must be maintained at a
level between 70% and 85% of your maximum heart rate. This is your "Training Zone." You can
