of this product.
1. Before beginning any exercise program,

rental, or institutional setting.
5. Keep the exerciser indoors, away from mois-

These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise
program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a
reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,
proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for
successful results.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper inten-
sity is the key to achieving results. You can use your
heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level.
The chart below shows recommended heart rates for
fat burning and aerobic exercise.
To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the
bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the near-
est ten years). The three numbers listed above your
age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is
the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the
heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exer-
cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of
time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your
body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. 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 lowest number in your training
zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your
heart rate near the middle number in your training
zone.
Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic
exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts
of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until
your heart rate is near the highest number in your
training zone.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE
To measure your heart
rate, exercise for at
least four minutes.
Then, stop exercising
and place two fingers on
your wrist as shown.
Take a six-second heart-
beat count, and multiply
the result by 10 to find your heart rate. For example, if
your six-second heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate
is 140 beats per minute.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body
temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation
for exercise.
Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 min-
utes 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.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you
exercise–never hold your breath.
Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of
stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your
muscles and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. After a few months of regular exer-
cise, you may complete up to five workouts each
week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is to
make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your
everyday life.
EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WARNING: Before beginning this
or any exercise program, consult your physi-
cian. This is especially important for persons
over age 35 or persons with pre-existing
health problems.

ASSEMBLY
To hire an authorized service technician to assemble the elliptical exerciser, call 1-800-445-2480.
Assembly requires two persons. Place all parts of the exerciser in a cleared area and remove the packing
materials. Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed.
In addition to the included tool(s), assembly requires a Phillips screwdriver and an
adjustable wrench .
As you assemble the exerciser, use the drawings below to identify small parts. The number in parentheses
below each drawing is the key number of the part, from the PART IST near the end of this manual. The number
following the parentheses is the quantity needed for assembly. Note: If a part is not in the hardware kit,
check to see if it has been preassembled.

11
Inspect and tighten all parts of the exerciser regularly.
Replace any worn parts immediately.
To clean the exerciser, use a damp cloth and a small
amount of mild soap. IMPORTANT: To prevent dam-
age to the console, keep liquid away from the
console and keep the console out of direct sun-
light. When storing the exerciser, remove the battery
from the console.
HOW TO REPLACE THE BATTERY
If the display of the console becomes dim, the AAA
battery should be replaced. See step 9 on page 8 and
replace the old battery.
ROLLER MAINTENANCE
Clean the roller and
the frame track regu-
larly. Use a damp
cloth and mild soap
to remove dust and
debris from the roller
and the track on
which it travels.

HOW TO USE THE EXERCISER
AD USTING THE SEAT
To adjust the position
of the seat, loosen
the seat knob, move
the seat forward or
backward to the
desired position, and
then retighten the
knob. To determine if
the seat is properly
adjusted, sit on the
seat and pull the
handlebar as close
as possible to your
stomach. Your legs
should be almost straight, with your knees bent slightly.
AD USTING THE RESISTANCE
To change the resis-
tance, turn the collar
at the front of the
resistance cylinder.
There are ten differ-
ent resistance
levels. A small arrow
on the side of the
resistance cylinder
will show which
resistance level is
selected. CAUTION: The resistance cylinder
becomes very hot during use. Allow the resistance
cylinder to cool before touching it. When adjusting
the resistance, touch only the resistance adjust-
ment collar.
AD USTING THE HANDLEBAR
To adjust the height
of the handlebar,
loosen the handle-
bar knob, move the
handlebar upward or
downward to the
desired position, and
then retighten the
knob into an adjust-
ment hole in the
handlebar. Make
sure that the han-
dlebar knob is
engaged in an adjustment hole.
EXERCISING ON THE EXERCISER
Sit on the seat, place your feet on the lower pedals,
and hold the handlebar. Your hands can be positioned
close together or far apart, or in an overhand or
underhand grip. If necessary, adjust the position of the
seat or the height of the handlebar.
To begin exercising, pull the handlebar toward your
waist while pushing the pedals away with your legs.
Return to the starting position. This completes one
repetition. Repeat, moving with a smooth, continuous
motion. For the best results, move through the full
range of motion and maintain a steady pace.
CAUTION: To avoid injury, keep your back
straight; do not arch your back. Do no operate the
exerciser without the cylinder shields in place.
To focus on the muscles of the upper body, place your
feet on the upper pedals as you exercise.
Note: The console will automatically turn on when you
begin exercising on the exerciser. The operation of the
console is described on the following page.
