Fitness Quest 595r - Manual (Page 13)

Using the Pulse Function on the Rear Handlebar
The pulse window on your Monitor works in conjunction with the pulse sensors found
on the rear handlebar. When you are ready to read your pulse:
1) Place both hands firmly on the pulse sensors. For the most
accurate reading, it is important to use both hands.
2) Look at your pulse window. The small heart will begin to blink.
3) Your estimated heart rate will appear in the window
approximately 6 seconds after you grasp the pulse sensors.
4) Refer to the Target Heart Rate Zone Chart found on page 19
of this manual. For additional information about the importance
of working within certain heart rate ranges, see pages
17 and 18 – Measuring Your Heart Rate.
5) This estimate is not exact and persons with medical conditions
and/or a specific need for accurate heart rate monitoring
should not rely on the estimations provided.
Adjusting the Level of the Bike
The Short Levelers are located on the bottom of
the Rear Foot Tube End Caps. To raise the Foot Tube,
turn the Short Levelers counter-clockwise with the
Allen Wrench provided. To lower the Foot Tube, turn
the Short Levelers clockwise with the Allen Wrench.
Make sure the bike is level before exercising.

Once your Recumbent Bike is assembled, make sure that your workout space has a solid, level surface with
plenty of space around it. We recommend placing a mat under your bike to protect your flooring.
Correct Workout Position
When exercising, keep your back straight and your head in a neutral position to minimize neck and upper
back strain. When pedaling do not lock out your knees, at the bottom of the pedaling motion there should
be a slight bend in the knee. Always try to pedal the bike with a smooth and rhythmic motion.
GETTING STARTED
USING YOUR RECUMBENT BIKE
The bike provides a completely smooth and natural feeling, that minimizes the impact on your hips, knees
and ankles while providing a superior aerobic and muscle toning workout. The durable steel frame and
transport wheels make the bike mobile and easy to use.
IMPORTANT:
• This bike is not recommended for children.
• Always make sure that you feel balanced and secure.
• Always use your bike on a clean, solid and level surface.
