DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE  
HOW TO OPERATE THE CONSOLE  
The console is designed to help you get the most  
from your workouts. As you exercise, you can watch  
your progress around the LED track, while the  
display provides continuous exercise feedback.  
The six modes of the display are described below.  
If there is a thin sheet of clear plastic on the face of  
the console, remove it.  
1. To turn on the power, press the on/reset button or  
simply begin pedaling. When the power is turned  
on, one LED indicator will light in the LED track,  
and the entire display will appear for two seconds.  
The console will then be ready for operation.  
2. Select one of the five modes:  
Scan modeÑ  
When the power  
is turned on, the  
scan mode will  
automatically be  
selected. One  
mode indicator  
will show that the  
LED Track

scan mode is selected, and a flashing mode indica-  
tor will show which mode is currently displayed.  
Note: If a different mode is selected, you can  
select the scan mode again by repeatedly pressing  
the mode button.  
SpeedÑThis mode displays your current pedaling  
speed, in miles per hour.

mode button repeatedly. The mode indicators will  
show which mode is selected. (Make sure that the  
scan mode is not selected.)  
LapsÑThis mode displays the number of 1/4-mile  
laps you have completed around the LED track.  
CalorieÑThis mode displays the approximate number  
of Calories you have burned.  
3. The LED track represents a distance of 1/4 mile.  
As you exercise, the indicators around the track  
will light one at a time until you have completed 1/4  
mile. A new lap will then begin.  
ScanÑThis mode displays the speed, time, distance,  
laps, and calorie modes, for 5 seconds each, in a  
repeating cycle.  
4. To reset the display, press the on/reset button.  
BATTERY INSTALLATION  
5. To turn off the power, simply wait for about four  
minutes. Note: The console has an Òauto-offÓ  
feature. If the pedals are not moved and the  
console buttons are not pressed for four  
minutes, the power will turn off automatically  
in order to conserve the batteries.  
Before the console can be operated, two ÒAAÓ batter-  
ies must be installed. If you have not installed batter-  
ies, see assembly step 8 on page 6.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLE-SHOOTING  
Inspect and tighten all parts of the PROFORM¨ 775s  
regularly. The 775s can be cleaned with a soft, damp  
cloth. To prevent damage to the console, keep liquids  
away and keep the console out of direct sunlight.  
Reed Switch is correctly adjusted, reattach the left  
side shield.  
HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT  
BATTERY REPLACEMENT  
If the you can feel the pedals slip when you are exer-  
cising, especially when the resistance knob is turned  
to the maximum setting, the Drive Belt (19) may need  
to be adjusted. To adjust the Drive Belt, both side  
shields must be removed. Refer to the instructions at  
the left to remove the left side shield. Remove the  
right side shield in the same manner.  
If the console does not function properly, the batteries  
should be replaced. To replace the batteries, refer to  
assembly step 8 on page 6.  
HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH  
If the console does not display correct feedback, the  
reed switch should be adjusted. In order to adjust the  
reed switch, the Left Side Shield (6) must be  
removed. First, using an adjustable wrench, turn the  
Left Pedal (45) clockwise to remove the Pedal from  
the left arm of the Crank (29).  
Loosen the M8  
Flanged Hex Nut  
(36) on each side of  
the Flywheel (42).  
Tighten the M6 Nut  
(39) on each M6  
Eyebolt (37) until the  
Drive Belt (19) is  
tight. Be sure that  
you tighten each  
M6 Nut an equal  
amount. Once the  
Drive Belt is tight,

top and gently pull them apart. Make sure that the  
arm of the Crank (29) is in the position shown in the  
drawing above. Hold the Left Side Shield at the rear  
and pull it gently away from the frame. Work the Left  
Side Shield forward off the arm of the Crank and  
remove it.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES  
The following guidelines will help you to plan your  
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition and  
adequate rest are essential for successful results.  
Aerobic Exercise  
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-  
tem, your exercise must be Òaerobic.Ó Aerobic exer-  
cise is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen  
for prolonged periods of time. This increases the  
demand on the heart to pump blood to the muscles,  
and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic  
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until  
your heart rate is near the largest number in your  
training zone.  
WARNING: Before beginning this or any exer-  
cise program, consult your physician. This is  
especially important for persons over age 35  
or persons with pre-existing health problems.  
EXERCISE INTENSITY  
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE  
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your  
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the  
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.  
The proper intensity level can be found by using your  
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom-  
mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat burn-  
ing, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.  
To measure your heart  
rate, first exercise for  
at least four minutes.  
Then, stop exercising  
and place two  
fingers on your wrist  
as shown. Take a six-  
second heartbeat  
count, and multiply the  
result by 10 to find  
your heart rate. For example, if your six-second heart-  
beat count is 14, your heart rate is 140 beats per  
minute. (A six-second count is used because your  
heart rate will drop rapidly when you stop exercising.)  
WORKOUT GUIDELINES  
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age  
at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the  
nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers  
above your age. The three numbers are your Òtraining  
zone.Ó The smallest number is the recommended  
heart rate for fat burning; the middle number is the  
heart rate for maximum fat burning; the largest  
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.  
Each workout should include the following three  
important parts: A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 min-  
utes of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-  
up increases your body temperature, heart rate, and  
circulation in preparation for exercise. Training zone  
exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 minutes of exercising  
with your heart rate in your training zone. (During the  
first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep  
your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20  
minutes.) A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of  
Burning Fat  
stretching. This will increase the flexibility of your mus-  
cles and will help to prevent post-exercise problems.  
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a rela-  
tively low intensity level for a sustained period of time.  
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body  
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener-  
gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does  
your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy.  
If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your  
exercise until your heart rate is near the smallest  
number in your training zone as you exercise.  
EXERCISE FREQUENCY  
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three  
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest  
between workouts. After a few months of regular exer-  
cise, you may plan up to five workouts each week, if  
desired. Caution: Be sure to progress at your own  
pace and avoid overdoing it. Incorrect or exces-  
sive training may result in injury to your health.  
Remember, the key to success is to make exercise a  
regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.  
For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your  
exercise until your heart rate is near the middle num-  
ber in your training zone as you exercise.
