1Congratulations on purchasing the most innovative recumbent cycle available,

the Precor EC860 Professional Recumbent Cycle. For the first time, an elec-

tronic cycle combines sophisticated electronics and high-tech styling with the

physiological benefits and comfort of recumbent styling.

The easy-to-use electronic console allows users to simply climb on and begin

cycling. The chosen course is displayed on the three-dimensional course

simulator along with the rider’s position on the course. Throughout the workout,

the electronics continually display statistics about distance travelled, pedal

RPM, time remaining in the program, and fitness score. With the electronic

pacer, users can easily maintain their intensity and judge their progress.

The EC860 Professional Recumbent Cycle is built to the exacting standards of

the health club environment, allowing it to withstand the rigors of daily club use.

2Setting Up the EC860 Professional

Recumbent Cycle

The EC860 Professional Recumbent Cycle comes fully assembled. You simply

need to follow the installation requirements listed in this section and place the

cycle in the appropriate location.

The cycle has a unique program that lets you determine which language and

measurement system appears on the electronic console display. You can

choose one of three languages: French, German, or English, and select either

U.S. Standard or Metric as the measurement system. The Club Setting Program

also enables you to limit workout time on the cycle so more people can use it.

Instructions on how to use the program are found in this section.

Installation Requirements

Follow the installation requirements below when installing the cycle.

If you do not

install the cycle according to the following guidelines, you could void the Precor

warranty.

•Set up the EC860 cycle on a solid, flat surface.

•Use the appropriate voltage outlet and grounding as specified on the

cycle. The EC860 cycle is available in both 120-volt and 220-volt models.

Refer to the cycle’s identification label to determine the voltage and fre-

quency that your cycle needs.

CAUTION: Do not use a non-grounded outlet. Electrical damage might

occur if the EC860 cycle is connected to an improper power source.

Using the Club Setting Program

The Club Setting Program lets you customize your cycle with the following

features:

one of the three languages (French, German, or English). Typically, on the

cycle you buy, the language is preset to English.

•Workout time—You can set a workout time limit between 2 and 60

minutes. For example, if a club owner sets the maximum workout time to

20 minutes, the cycle would allow users to specify a workout time from 2

to 20 minutes. Users could not specify a workout time longer than 20

minutes. When you buy the cycle, it is set to the maximum workout time of

60 minutes.

•Measurement system—You can choose between U.S. Standard or

Metric. Typically, the cycle you buy is set to U.S. Standard.

The EC860 Professional Recumbent Cycle is designed so users can work out

without instruction or training. The directions on the console and the prompts on

the screen will guide a user through the entire workout session. Before the

cycle is used, however, we recommend familiarizing yourself with it so it will be

used safely and effectively. This section covers the following information:

• an overview of the features provided on the electronic console

• information about adjusting seat height

• instructions for turning the cycle on and off

• an explanation about using the cycle in manual mode (workout program 0)

• instructions for exercising on the cycle

• instructions for designing a customized exercise program (two custom

courses can be designed—workout programs 8 and 9)

Understanding the Electronic Console

Once the EC860 cycle is set up, it is ready to use. There are no complex

instructions to follow or mandatory programming steps required to operate the

cycle. Simply select one of the 10 workout programs, then specify how hard and

how long you want to work. As you exercise, the electronic console provides

motivation and presents constant feedback about your progress.

A screen-saver feature causes the console displays to disappear 2 minutes

after a workout program ends. If you stop exercising and take more than a 2

minute break, your workout session ends and the screen-saver feature pro-

duces blank window displays. While the left and right window displays remain

blank, “EC860 Press any button to begin exercise” appears and scrolls

across the bottom window display.

Diagram 2 illustrates the EC860 electronic console. Its keys and displays are

explained on the following pages.

The electronic console keypad has four keys:

ON: When starting a workout, press the ON key and the initial start-up prompt,

“Choose Workout Program” appears on the display.

and keys: Use the arrow keys to move through the selections that

appear on the console’s display.

ENTER/RESET: Press this key to choose the displayed value or selection. After

you press ENTER/RESET, the electronics will remember what you specified

and continue to the next function or prompt.

If you are using a specific program during a workout and want it to end, press

ENTER/RESET. Your Performance Summary appears. To cancel the program

and return to the initial start-up prompt, press ENTER/RESET again. The start-

up prompt, “Choose Workout Program” appears on the display. You can then

begin another exercise program or end your workout.

The left display on the electronic console provides information about your

workout session:

Program: Indicates the workout program selected for an exercise session. You

can choose between 0 and 9 by using the arrow keys.

Level: Shows the selected effort level, from 1 to 9. The higher the number you

select, the more resistance you receive. You can change the effort level any-

time during a workout by using the arrow keys to increase or decrease the

resistance.

page 10

Pedal RPM: Shows pedal speed in revolutions per minute (RPM). Use this

display to determine

exercise intensity

(how hard you are working out) at any

given moment.

Fitness Score: Shows a fitness score from 1 to 100 percent. The fitness score

is associated with the pacer and helps you determine whether or not you are

using the correct exercise level. To maintain a 100% fitness score you must

finish the program at the same time as the pacer. You will exceed 100% if you

finish ahead of the pacer and be below 100% if you finish behind the pacer.

If you can easily maintain a 100 percent fitness score, you might want to

choose a more challenging workout next time. However, if you have difficulty

maintaining a high enough score, you might want to choose a lower exercise

level.

Watts: Indicates the amount of energy currently being expended.

Calories per Hour: Indicates the number of calories burned per hour. Use this

display, along with Calories Used and Pedal RPM, to determine

exercise

intensity

(how hard you are working out) at any given moment.

Calories Used: Provides the number of calories burned in the workout. The

cycle determines calories based on a 160 pound rider so if your weight is

different, you should use the displayed information only as a reference.

Distance: Shows how far you have travelled, in either miles or kilometers. Use

this information to measure

total work

accomplished during a workout.

Time: Lists the amount of time remaining on the course you are using. Use this

display to pace yourself during a workout.

Goal Setting: Indicates the anticipated targets the user will achieve at the

selected program or effort level. The goals you set are affected by the speed,

workload, and time of your workout session. When you enter a time after the

“Enter Workout Time” prompt, the display “Your Goals Are” appears in the left

window display and provides the basis for your workout and performance

summary.

The right display window on the electronic console prompts you to enter specific

information, graphically displays a pacer, and provides information about

incline:

Pace Tempo: Provides a tempo for you to follow. The pacer provides motiva-

tion and helps you maintain exercise intensity. During a workout, if you change

the effort level, the pace tempo changes to reflect the new level.

While you workout, the console displays a roadway with two triangles, one on

each side of the centerline. The shaded triangle on the left side is the pacer; the

triangle on the right side represents you.

If your speed remains even with the pacer, the triangles remain the same size.

If you are behind the pacer, the pacer appears to move ahead and become

smaller in size. When your speed is greater than the pacer’s, the triangle that
