Wasn't able to find an official downloadable owner's manual for an Excel 396 exercise bike (also sometimes referred to as a Fitness Quest Excel 396 Magnetic Recumbent Bike) online - there doesn't seem to be a publicly-available PDF from the manufacturer that matches that model. The model does show up in parts listings (e.g., replacement parts listings for the Fitness Quest Excel 396 magnetic recumbent bike) which confirms the model designation.
Here's what you can do instead to get the manual:
1. Check with the Seller or Manufacturer
If you still have the original receipt or place you bought it from (e.g., Sears, Fitness Quest dealer), they may be able to send you the manual.
2. Search by Alternate Name
Sometimes the manual is under a very similar model name (e.g., Excel 396R, "Fitness Quest Excel 396 recumbent bike manual"). Try searching for that exact phrase in Google with "manual" or "user guide".
3. Use Parts & Diagrams to Reverse-Engineer Info
Websites that sell parts for the Fitness Quest/Excel 396 stationary bike sometimes include parts diagrams and setup instructions which can act as a stand-in for missing manual pages.
4. Contact Fitness Equipment Manual Repositories
There are several "fitness manual" aggregator sites (such as ManualsLib, SchematicManuals, etc.) where people upload manuals. Try searching there for "Excel 396" or "Fitness Quest 396".
