IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
    WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and 
instructions in this manual and all warnings on your exercise bike before using your exercise bike. 
Sears assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or through the 
use of this product.
1.  It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure 
that all users of the exercise bike are ade-
quately informed of all precautions. 
2.  Before beginning any exercise program, 
consult your physician. This is especially 
important for persons over age 35 or per-
sons with pre-existing health problems.
3.  Use the exercise bike only as described in 
this manual.
4.  The exercise bike is intended for home use 
only. Do not use the exercise bike in a com-
mercial, rental, or institutional setting.
5.  Keep the exercise bike indoors, away from 
moisture and dust. Do not put the exercise 
bike in a garage or covered patio, or near 
water.
6.  Place the exercise bike on a level surface, 
with a mat beneath it to protect the floor or 
carpet. Make sure that there is at least 2 ft. 
(0.6 m) of clearance around the exercise bike. 
7.  Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-
larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
8.  Keep children under age 12 and pets away 
from the exercise bike at all times.
9.  Wear appropriate clothes while exercising;

11.  Be careful when mounting and dismounting 
the exercise bike.
12. Always keep your back straight while using 
the exercise bike; do not arch your back.
13. The heart rate monitor is not a medical 
device. Various factors may affect the accu-
racy of heart rate readings. The heart rate 
monitor is intended only as an exercise aid 
in determining heart rate trends in general.
14. The exercise bike does not have a freewheel; 
the pedals will continue to move until the 
flywheel stops. Reduce your pedaling speed 
in a controlled way.
15. Over exercising may result in serious injury 
or death. If you feel faint, if you become short 
of breath, or if you experience pain while 
exercising, stop immediately and cool down.
