HOW TO USE THE STRIDER
HOW TO P UG IN THE AC POWER ADAPTER
This product must be grounded. If it should mal-
function or break down, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk
of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug.
Plug the AC power adapter into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt cir-
cuit. IMPORTANT: The strider is not compatible
with GFCI-equipped outlets and may not be com-
patible with AFCI-equipped outlets.
A temporary adapter may be used to connect the AC
power adapter to a 2-pole receptacle as shown below
if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The tem-
porary adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electri-
cian.
The green-
colored rigid
ear, lug, or
the like
extending
from the
adapter must
be con-
nected to a
permanent
ground such
as a properly
grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is
used, it must be held in place by a metal screw. Some
2-pole receptacle outlet box covers are not
grounded. Contact a qualified electrician to deter-
mine if the outlet box cover is grounded before
using an adapter.
HOW TO MOVE THE STRIDER
Due to the size and weight of the strider, moving it
requires two persons. ave two persons lift the indi-
cated end of the strider until the strider will roll on the
front wheels. Carefully move the strider to the desired
location and then lower it to the level position.
CAUTION: To decrease the risk of injury, bend
your legs and keep your back straight. Make sure
to use your legs rather than your back to lift the
strider. Do not attempt to move the strider over an
uneven surface.
DANGER: Improper connection of
the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service-
man 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.

FEATURES OF THE CONSO E
This console offers an array of features designed to
make your workouts more effective and enjoyable.
When you use the quick start mode of the console,
you can change the resistance of the pedals or set a

pedals and prompts you to maintain a target stride
length as it guides you through an effective workout.
You can even connect your iPod®, MP3 player, CD
player, or other personal audio player to the console
sound system and listen to your favorite workout
music or audio books while you exercise.

ate the strider. See OW TO PLUG IN T E AC
POWER ADAPTER on page 6. When the AC power
adapter is plugged in, the displays will light and the
console will be ready for use.
IMPORTANT: If the console has been exposed to
cold temperatures, allow it to warm to room tem-
perature before activating the console. Otherwise,
you may damage the console displays or other
electronic components.
HOW TO TURN OFF THE CONSO E
If the pedals are not moved for a short period of time,
the console will enter an idle mode and a screen
saver will appear in the center display. Unplug the AC
power adapter when the strider is not in use.
HOW TO USE THE QUICK START MODE
The quick start mode allows you to start exercising,
adjust the resistance of the pedals manually, and set a
target stride length manually.
1. Press the QUICK START button or begin strid-
ing to activate the console.
See OW TO ACTIVATE T E CONSOLE above.
2. Select the quick start mode.
When you activate the
console, the quick start
mode will be selected. If
you have selected a work-
out, reselect the quick start
mode by pressing any of
the workout buttons
repeatedly until zeros
appear in the right display.
3. Change the resistance of the pedals as
desired.
As you stride, change the
resistance of the pedals by
pressing the RESISTANCE
increase and decrease
buttons. Note: After you
press a RESISTANCE but-
ton, it will take a moment for the pedals to reach
the selected resistance level.
4. Set a target stride length as desired.
The stride length meter in the center display
allows you to set a target stride length.
To set a target stride
length, press the STRIDE
LENGT increase and
decrease buttons below the
stride length meter repeat-
edly until the target bars
appear next to the desired
stride length. Note: Stride
length is measured in
inches.
5. Follow your progress with the displays.
eft display–This display
shows the length of your
stride in inches. Note:
When you select a work-
out, this display will also
show the workout profile
and the elapsed time for
each segment of the work-
out.
Center display–This display shows the stride
length meter. The stride length meter compares
your actual stride length to the target stride length.
The target bars in
the stride length
meter indicate the
target stride
length. The pedal
blocks track the
actual movement
of the pedals while
you exercise.
As you exercise, keep your stride length near the
target stride length by striding so that the pedal
blocks move back and forth between the target
bars.
