POWER
The console on your endurance 200 is powered by 2 AA batteries, which are
replaceable through the back side of the console. Your elliptical itself, is pow-
ered by you.
Your programmable endurance 300 elliptical trainer is powered by a power sup-
ply. The power supply must be plugged into the power jack, which is located in
the front of the machine near the front foot tube.
LEVELING
The elliptical trainer should be leveJ for optimum use. Once you have pJaced the
elliptical trainer where you intend to use it, raise or lower the adjustable levelers
located on the outside of each pedal arm. Once you have leveled the etJiptical train-
er, lock the levelers in place by tightening the wing nuts against the frame.

Note:Itisimportanttoalwaysfollowthecorrectorderofstepswhenfoldingyour
ellipticaltrainer.
STEP 1:The first step is to position the elliptical pedal arms in the proper posi-
tion. The pedal arms can be positioned in two different positions for convenience.
The first position is to rotate the left pedal arm so that it is in the backmost posi-
tion (the left pedal arm wheel should be positioned at the rear of the elliptical
trainer). The second position would be to rotate the right pedal arm in the back-
most position.
STEP 2: Carefully raise both the pedal arm (in the backmost position) and guide
rail simultaneously.
STEP 3: Press and hold the lock latch button located underneath the guide rail
end cap. Align the lock latch with the lock latch receiver located underneath the
pedal arm. Insert the lock latch receiver into the lock latch. Release the lock latch
button once the lock latch is secure.
STEP 4: Repeat process for alternate side.
Note: It is important to always follow the correct order of steps when unfolding
your elliptical trainer.
STEP I: Firmly grasp both the left pedal arm and guide rail. Press and release
the lock latch receiver from the lock latch. Carefully lower the pedal arm and guide
rail, standing to the side to avoid any accidental release of the alternate pedal arm
and guide rail.
STEP 2: Repeat process for alternate side.

MOVING
Your Horizon Fitness elliptical trainer has a pair of transport wheels built into the
front of the frame. With the treadmill in the folded position and bracing one foot
against the front foot tube, carefully pull back on the console mast and roll the
elliptical to the desired position.
CAUTION! our elliptical trainers are well built and heavy, weighing up to
2001bs.! Use care and additional help if necessary when moving.
FOOT POSITION
When using your elliptical trainer, you may notice that your heel raises off of the
foot pad. This is a natural walking or running motion and you should not try to
prevent this.

THR Zone TM
Benefits weight loss by maintaining an optimum
exercise level to burn fat, whiIe adjusting the resist-
ance to keep you in your target heart rate zone.

The Pulse Zone Program is designed to keep the user at an optimum exercise
level, while adjusting the resistance levels to keep the user at a target heart
rate. To choose the Pulse Zone Program, follow these instructions.
hChoose the Pulse Zone Program by pressing the 'Up' or 'Down' buttons or by
pressing the number 16 quick resistance button. Press 'Enter'.
2. Determine your target Pulse Zone by using the heart rate chart (reference tar-

by pressing the 'Up' or 'Down' buttons. Your target pulse zone should be set at a
number that you will be able to exercise throughout the majority of your workout.
3. The Pulse Zone Program will have a 5 minute warm-up period before it will start
adjusting the resistance levels to get you to your target pulse zone.
4. After the 5 minute warm-up period, the resistance levels will increase gradually
to get the user to the selected target pulse zone. Once the user is at the target
pulse zone; plus or minus 5 beats, the resistance level will remain at the current
resistance level.
5. If the actual heart rate of the user is above the target pulse zone, the resistance
levels will gradually begin decreasing to keep the user in the target pulse zone. If
the user is more than 25 beats above the target pulse zone, the console will shut
down for safety purposes.
6. The last 5 minutes of the program will be dedicated to a cool-down period. At
this time, the program will gradually decrease the resistance level to give the user
a smooth and easy cool down.
