HOW TO OVE AND LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL
EXERCISER
Due to the size and weight of the elliptical exer-
ciser, moving it requires two persons. With the help
of another person, lift the handle on the rear of the
elliptical exerciser until the elliptical exerciser will roll on
the front wheels. Carefully move the elliptical exerciser
to the desired location and then lower it.
CAUTION: To decrease the risk of injury, bend your
legs and keep your back straight. ake sure to use
your legs rather than your back to lift the elliptical
exerciser. Do not attempt to move the elliptical
exerciser over an uneven surface.
If the elliptical exerciser rocks slightly on your floor, see
the inset drawings and turn the leveling feet under the
front and rear of the elliptical exerciser until the rocking
motion is eliminated.
EXERCISING ON THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the upper body
arms and step onto the pedal that is in the lowest posi-
tion. Next, step onto the other pedal. Push the pedals
until they begin to move with a continuous motion.
To dismount the elliptical exerciser, wait until the ped-
als come to a complete stop. The elliptical exerciser
does not have a free wheel; the pedals will con-
tinue to move until the flywheel stops. When the
pedals are stationary, step off the highest pedal first.
Then, step off the lowest pedal.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers a selection of features
designed to make your exercise sessions more effec-
tive.
When you use the manual mode, you can change the
resistance of the pedals with the touch of a button. As
you pedal, the console will provide continuous exercise
feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using
the built-in handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest
pulse sensor.
The console also features personal goal programming
that allows you to choose a goal for your workout. As
you exercise, the console will display feedback until
you reach your goal.
In addition, the console offers nine preset workouts.
Each workout automatically changes the resistance of
the pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease
your pace as it guides you through an effective exer-
cise session.
The console also features three heart rate workouts
that automatically change the resistance of the pedals
to keep your heart rate near a target heart rate as you
exercise.
You can even create your own custom workout work-
outs and save them in memory for future use.
To use the manual mode, see page 14. To create a
custom workout, see page 16. To use a custom
workout, see page 17. To use a preset workout, see
page 18. To use a heart rate workout, see page 19.

the second or third
heart rate, a profile
of the target heart
rate settings of the
workout will appear
in the matrix.
3. Enter a target heart rate.
When you select the first heart rate workout,
the target heart rate for the workout will flash in the
Pulse display. If desired, press the Pulse increase
and decrease buttons to change the target heart
rate (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 23).
Note: The same target heart rate will be pro-
grammed for all segments.
When you select the second or third heart rate
workout, the maximum target heart rate setting of
the workout will flash in the Pulse display. If
desired, press the Pulse increase and decrease
buttons to change the maximum target heart rate
(see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 23). Note: If
you change the maximum target heart rate, the
intensity level of the entire workout will change.
4. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor or put on the
optional chest pulse sensor.
To use a heart rate program, you must use the
handgrip pulse sensor or wear the optional chest
pulse sensor (see page 20). Note: If you hold the
handgrip pulse sensor and wear the chest pulse
sensor at the same time, the console will not dis-
play your heart rate accurately.
If you use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is not nec-
essary to hold the handgrip pulse sensor
continuously during heart rate workouts; however,
you should hold the handgrip pulse sensor fre-
quently for the workouts to operate properly. Each
time you hold the handgrip pulse sensor, keep
your hands on the metal contacts for at least 30
seconds.
5. Press the Start button to start the workout.
The first heart rate workout—This workout is
divided into 100 one-minute segments. The same
target heart rate is programmed for all segments.
Note: For a shorter workout, stop exercising or
select a different workout before the workout ends.
The second and
third heart rate
workouts—These
workouts are divided
into 30 one-minute
segments. One tar-
get heart rate is
programmed for
each segment. Note: The same target heart rate
setting may be programmed for consecutive seg-
ments.
During the workout, the workout profile will show
your progress. The flashing segment of the profile
represents the current segment of the workout.
The height of the flashing column indicates the tar-
get heart rate setting for the current segment. At
the end of each segment of the workout, a series
of tones will sound and the next segment of the
profile will begin to flash.
Profile

All heart rate workouts—As you pedal, the con-
sole will regularly compare your heart rate to the
target heart rate. If your heart rate is too far below
or above the target heart rate, the resistance of the
pedals will automatically increase or decrease to
bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate
setting.
As you exercise, you will also be prompted to keep
your pedaling pace near the target pace for the
current segment. When a TOO SLOW indicator
lights, increase your pace. When a TOO FAST
indicator lights, decrease your pace. When the
center indicator lights, maintain your current pace.
I PORTANT: The target pace settings are
intended only to provide motivation. ake sure
to pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you.
If the resistance level for the current segment is too
high or too low, you can manually override the set-
ting by pressing the Quick Resistance buttons.
However, when the console compares your heart
rate to the target heart rate, the resistance of the
pedals will automatically increase or decrease to
bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a series
of tones will sound and the workout will pause. To
restart the workout, simply resume pedaling. The
workout will continue until the last segment of the
profile flashes and the last segment of the workout
ends.
6. Follow your progress with the displays.

7. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
