HOW TO MOVE AND LEVEL THE ELL PT CAL
EXERC SER
Due to the size and weight of the elliptical exer-
ciser, moving it requires two persons. With the help
of another person, lift the handle on the rear of the el-
liptical exerciser until the elliptical exerciser will roll on
the front wheels. Carefully move the elliptical exerciser
to the desired location and then lower it.
CAUT ON: To decrease the risk of injury, bend your
legs and keep your back straight. Make sure to use
your legs rather than your back to lift the elliptical
exerciser. Do not attempt to move the elliptical exer-
ciser over an uneven surface.
If the elliptical exerciser rocks slightly on your floor, see
the inset drawings and turn the levelling feet under the
front and rear of the elliptical exerciser until the rocking
motion is eliminated.
EXERC S NG ON THE ELL PT CAL EXERC SER
To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the handlebars
and step onto the pedal that is in the lowest position.
Next, step onto the other pedal. Push the pedals until
they begin to move with a continuous motion.
To dismount the elliptical exerciser, wait until the ped-
als come to a complete stop. The elliptical exerciser
does not have a free wheel; the pedals will con-
tinue to move until the flywheel stops. When the
pedals are stationary, step off the highest pedal first.
Then, step off the lowest pedal.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers a selection of features
designed to make your workouts more effective. When
the manual mode of the console is selected, the resis-
tance of the pedals can be changed with the touch of a
button. As you pedal, the console will provide continu-
ous exercise feedback. You can even measure your
heart rate using the built-in handgrip pulse sensor.
The console also features personal goal programming
that allows you to choose a goal for your workout. As
you exercise, the console will display feedback until the
goal is reached.
In addition, the console offers nine preset programs.
Each program automatically changes the resistance of
the pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease
your pace as it guides you through an effective workout.
You can even create your own custom workout pro-
grams and save them in memory for future use.
The console also features three heart rate programs
that automatically change the resistance of the pedals
to keep your heart rate near a target heart rate as you
exercise.
To use the manual mode of the console, see page
12. To create and use a custom program, see page
14. To use a preset program, see page 15. To use a
heart rate program, see page 16.

grammed for each segment. Note: The same tar-
get heart rate setting may be programmed for two
or more consecutive segments.
The target heart
rate setting for the
first segment will
be shown in the
flashing Current
Segment column of
the matrix. The tar-
get heart rate settings for the next several seg-
ments will be shown in the columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, both the Current Segment
column and the column to the right will flash, a se-
ries of tones will sound, and all target heart rate
settings will move one column to the left. The tar-
get heart rate setting for the second segment will
then be shown in the flashing Current Segment
column.

Both heart rate programs—As you pedal, the
console will regularly compare your heart rate to
the target heart rate setting. If your heart rate is
too far below or above the target heart rate set-
ting, the resistance of the pedals will automatically
increase or decrease to bring your heart rate
closer to the target heart rate setting.
After the first segment ends, the pace guide will
prompt you to maintain a constant pedaling pace.
When one of the “Too Slow” indicators lights, in-
crease your pace; when one of the “Too Fast” in-
dicators lights, decrease your pace. When the
center indicator lights, maintain your current pace.
mportant: The target heart rate settings are
intended only to provide motivation. Make
sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable
for you.
Note: During the program, you can manually over-
ride the resistance setting for the current seg-
ment, if desired, with the Quick Resistance but-
tons. owever, when the console compares your
heart rate to the target heart rate setting, the re-
sistance of the pedals may automatically increase
or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the
target heart rate setting.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone
will sound and the program will pause. To restart
the program, simply resume pedaling.
Monitor your progress with the displays.
See step 5 on page 12.
When the program is finished, the console will
automatically turn off.

Most problems can be solved by following the simple steps below. Find the symptom that applies, and fol-
low the steps listed. f further assistance is needed, please see the front cover of this manual.
WEEKLY MA NTENANCE
Inspect and properly tighten all external parts of the el-
liptical exerciser. Clean the elliptical exerciser with a
small amount of mild multi-purpose cleaner applied to
a 100% cotton cloth. When cleaning the elliptical exer-
ciser, pay special attention to the track and wheels.
Remove all debris from the track. Clean the pedal cov-
ers with a soft nylon brush. Do not use acidic clean-
ers—doing so will void your warranty. Never spray
any cleaner directly onto the elliptical exerciser.

1. SYMPTOM: THE ELL PT CAL EXERC SER S
NOT LEVEL
If the elliptical exerciser rocks slightly during use, see
OW TO MOVE AND LEVEL T E ELLIPTICAL EX-
ERCISER on page 10.
2. SYMPTOM: THE PULSE SENSOR DOES NOT
FUNCT ON PROPERLY
If the handgrip pulse sensor does not function properly,
see step 6 on page 13.
3. SYMPTOM: THE PEDAL D SKS RUB AGA NST
THE S DE SH ELDS
If a pedal disk rubs against a side shield, loosen the
side shield mounting screws and move the side shield
slightly until the pedal disk stops rubbing. Then,
retighten the side shield mounting screws.
4. SYMPTOM: THE PEDAL WHEELS SQUEAK
If the pedal wheels squeak, use a 100% cotton cloth to
remove debris from the track and the wheels. If the
pedal wheels continue to squeak, apply a light coat of
silicone-based lubricant to the track.
5. SYMPTOM: THE CONSOLE TURNS OFF AS
SOON AS YOU STOP PEDAL NG
If the console turns off as soon as you stop pedaling,
the battery pack may not be fully charged. The longer
you pedal, the longer the battery pack will maintain a
charge. It may be necessary to pedal for a few minutes
to charge the battery pack each time you exercise. If
the console turns off as soon as you stop pedaling,
even after you have pedaled for several minutes, call
the toll-free telephone number on the front cover of this
manual immediately.
6. SYMPTOM: THE PEDALS SL P OR G VE ON THE
POWER STROKE OF EACH REVOLUT ON
If the pedals slip during the power stroke, the drive belt
is slipping. Follow the instructions below to adjust the
tension of the drive belt.
First, remove the two
M6 x 16mm Button
Screws (49) attaching
the left Pedal Disk (5).
Without removing the
Pedal Disk, pivot it out
of the way.
Next, locate the M10
Flange Nut (95). Turn
the Flange Nut clock-
wise until the pedals
no longer slip during
the power stroke.
Reattach the Pedal
Disk (5).

The following guidelines will help you to plan your ex-
ercise program. Remember that proper nutrition and
adequate rest are essential for successful results.
EXERC SE NTENS TY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the de-
sired 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 find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
near 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 “training
zone.” The lower two numbers are recommended
heart rates for fat burning; the highest number is the
recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Fat Burning
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 en-
ergy. 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 ex-
ercise until your heart rate is near the lowest number
in your training zone as you exercise.
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.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-
tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise
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 highest number in your training zone
as you exercise.
WORKOUT GU DEL NES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your
body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in prepa-
ration for exercise.
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 min-
utes 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 stretching. This
will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will
help to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERC SE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest be-
tween workouts. After a few months of regular exer-
cise, you may complete up to five workouts each week
if desired. The key to success is to make exercise a
regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
WARN NG:
Before beginning this or any exercise pro-
gram, consult your physician. This is espe-
cially important for persons over the age of 35
or persons with pre-existing health problems.
The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors, including the user's move-
ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
readings. The pulse sensor is intended only
as an exercise aid in determining heart rate
trends in general.
