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.
