At NO time should children under the age of 13 be closer to the elliptical than 10 feet.
At NO time should children under the age of 13 use the elliptical.
Children over the age of 13 or disabled persons should not use the elliptical without adult supervision.
It is essential that your elliptical is used only indoors, in a climate controlled room. If your elliptical has been exposed to colder
temperatures or high moisture climates, it is strongly recommended that the elliptical is warmed up to room temperature before
first time use. Failure to do so may cause premature electronic failure.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
If an elliptical should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk
of electrical shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product. If it
will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Connect this exercise product to a properly grounded outlet only.
Never operate product with a damaged cord or plug even if it is working properly. Never operate any product if it appears
damaged, or has been immersed in water. Contact your Locad Dealer for replacement or repair.

BASIC OPERATION
CONGRATULATIONS ON CHOOSING YOUR ELLIPTICAL!
You’ve taken an important step in developing and sustaining an exercise program! Your elliptical is a tremendously effective tool for
achieving your personal fitness goals. Regular use of your elliptical can improve the quality of your life in so many ways.
Here are just a few of the health benefits of exercise:
• Weight loss
• A healthier heart
• Improved muscle tone
• Increased daily energy levels
The key to reaping these benefits is to develop an exercise habit. Your new elliptical will help you eliminate obstacles that prevent
you from exercising. Inclement weather and darkness won’t interfere with your workout when you use your elliptical in the comfort
of your home. This guide provides you with basic information for using and enjoying your new machine.

LOCATION OF THE ELLIPTICAL
Place the elliptical on a level surface. We advice there should be
clearance around your elliptical trainer (see guide). Do not place the
elliptical in any area that will block any vent or air openings.
Never operate product if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been damaged, or immersed in
water. Please contact our service centre for technical support, repair or new parts.
WARNING
FOOT POSITIONING
Your elliptical offers a variety of foot positions. Moving your foot to the forward most position of the foot pad increases your step height,
which will create a feel similar to a step machine. Placing your foot toward the back of the foot pad decreases your step height and
creates more of a gliding feel, similar to a smooth walk or run. Always make sure your entire foot is secured on the foot pad.
Your elliptical also allows you to pedal both forward and backwards to offer a variation to your workout and to focus on other major leg
muscle groups such as your hamstrings and calves.
WORKOUT OPTIONS
POWER
Your elliptical is powered by a power supply. The power must be
plugged into the power jack, which is located in the front of the
machine near the stabilizer tube. Some ellipticals have a power switch,
located next to the power jack. Make sure it is in the ON position.
NOTE: Some ellipticals have an ON/OFF switch located behind
the console.
FULL BODY WORKOUT
For a full body workout, push and pull continuously
on the dual action arms while pedaling.

MOVING THE ELLIPTICAL
Your elliptical has a pair of transport wheels built into the front stabilizer tube. To move, first
remove the power supply and firmly grasp the steel portion of the rear stabilizer bar, carefully
tilt and roll. NOTE: be sure to grab the steel bar and not the plastic cover.
Our ellipticals are heavy, use care and additional help if necessary when moving.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in injury.
WARNING
LEVELING THE ELLIPTICAL
Your elliptical should be leveled for optimum use. Once you have placed your elliptical where you intend to use it, raise or lower one
or both of the adjustable levelers located on the bottom of the elliptical frame*. A carpenter’s level is recommended. Once you have
leveled your elliptical, lock the levelers in place by tightening the nuts against the frame. *NOTE: Some ellipticals do not have levelers.
MOUNTING THE ELLIPTICAL
1. Stand on the side of the elliptical next to the lowest foot pedal.
2. While holding both of the stationary handlebars, place your foot on the lowest foot pedal and pull yourself
up onto the elliptical.
3. Wait until the elliptical finds its resting place and then place your other foot on the opposite pedal.

USING THE HEART RATE FUNCTION
Your elliptical could be equipped with either heart rate pulse grips or a thumb pulse sensor. To find out what your model has, refer to
the beginning of the ASSEMBLY section of your OWNER’S MANUAL.
The heart rate function on this product is not a medical device. While heart rate grips or a thumb pulse sensor can provide a
relative estimation of your actual heart rate, they should not be relied on when accurate readings are necessary. Some people,
including those in a cardiac rehab program, may benefit from using an alternate heart rate monitoring system like a chest or
wrist strap. Various factors, including movement of the user, may affect the accuracy of your heart rate reading. The heart rate
reading is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general. Please consult your physician.
Heart rate monitoring system is only available on Andes 2.0.
PULSE GRIPS
Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars for your heart rate to register.
It takes 5 consecutive heart beats (15-20 seconds) for your heart rate to register. When gripping the pulse handlebars, do not grip
tightly. Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure. Keep a loose, cupping hold. You may experience an erratic readout if
consistently holding the grip pulse handlebars. Make sure to clean the pulse sensors to ensure proper contact can be maintained.
Do not press excessively hard on the sensor as this may cause damage.
