Lost my user guide for my Schwinn Airdybe AD3
Schwinn Fitness has many of their manuals here: http://www.schwinnfitness.com/schwinn_fitness_us/customerservice/manualsen.jsp . The direct link to the owner's manual for all Airdyne exercise bikes is available here: http://download.nautilus.com/supportdocs/OM/Schwinn/SCH_Airdyne_Evolution_OM_web.pdf . If you need the assembly directions, see the Airdyne AD4 guide: http://download.nautilus.com/supportdocs/AM/Schwinn/SCH.Airdyne.AD4.AM.EN.pdf . The AD3 and AD4 are very similar.
I hope this helps.

Testimonial: "Thanks Cindy But I need the AD3 user guide. Mainly for the ergometer etc They show the Evolution which is different. Thanks for your help."
I know this is an old post but I found an old AD-3 that someone had put out for the trash. It's in very good condition, not rusty at all and just needed the chain adjusted and the ergometer bracket screws tightened. I was excited to see my curbside find comps were selling for $200 -1000 on Ebay. Thanks, whoever got tired of it being in the way. Now I just need a manual to see how to operate the display. it's unlike the ones in the manuals I've been able to pull up, only a small screen on this one.
The analog speedometer shows:
>Work Load from .5 to 10 (some only go to 7) *
>Pedal RPM from 28 to 75 RPM
>Odometer
>Trip odometer with rotary knob on back to reset
The white numbers around the dial (from 1 to 10) are Load; the red numbers around the dial (from 28 to 75) are Pedal RPM (rounds per minute). There are two odometers: the Odometer on top (four white digits plus 1 black digit) measures total miles traveled on the machine. The odometer on the bottom (two white digits and 2 black digits) is a "trip odometer"-- you can reset this by turning the little knob on the back of the ergometer.
* Load: Level 1 = 50 watts, Level 2 = 100 watts, etc. It is a measure of the power you are producing at the moment; it changes based on the intensity of your workout. Load is also related to how many calories you are burning: Energy (kCal or "calories") = Av Power (Watts) x Duration (hours) x 3.6. Exercise equipment especially cardio equipment will often display this measurement. By maintaining a certain load level, you can work at a consistent level of intensity.

Thanks Cindy - I need the AD3 for the ergomter etc. Different from the evolution which seems as far back as Schwinn goes :(
Hi,
Does anyone know what the ergometer dial indicates? The needle moves based on how hard you pedal but what is it measuring? And what does the load indicator measure and should it be reset?
