There are several areas during the assembly process of a elliptical that special attention must be
paid. It is very important to follow the assembly instructions correctly and to make sure all parts are
firmly tightened. If the assembly instructions are not followed correctly, the elliptical could have
frame parts that are not tightened and will seem loose and may cause irritating noises. To prevent
damage to the elliptical, the assembly instructions must be reviewed and corrective actions should be
taken.
Before proceeding, find your elliptical’s serial number located under the console mast boot for
all models and enter it in the space provided below. Also locate the model name for all
models which is located on the side cover. (see drawing below)

The console on your (CSE2) is powered by 2 AA batteries, which are replaceable through the back
side of the console. Your elliptical itself, is powered by you.
Your programmable (CSE3HR Only) elliptical is powered by a power supply. The power supply must
be plugged into the power jack, which is located in the front of the machine near the front foot tube.

MMOOVVIINNGG
Your elliptical has a pair of transport wheels built into the front of the frame. To move, firmly grasp
the console mast, carefully lift and roll.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN!!
Our ellipticals are well built and heavy, weighing up to 200lbs.! Use care and additional help if nec-
essary when moving.
FFOOOOTTPPOOSSIITTIIOONNIINNGG
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.
Your elliptical also allows you to pedal both forward and backwards to offer a variation to your work-
out and to focus on other major leg muscle groups such as your hamstrings and calves.

After the 5 minute warm up period, the resistance level will increase gradually to get the user to the
entered ‘target heart rate zone’. Once the user is at the ‘target heart rate zone’, plus or minus 5
beats, the resistance level will remain at the current resistance level.
The last 5 minutes of the program will begin the cool down period. At this time, the program will
gradually decrease the resistance level to give the
user a smooth cool down.
NNOOTTEE::The Chest Strap Transmitter is required to use the ‘THR Zone’ program.
