IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

GETTING STARTED
Read the Owner's Manual before setting up the Johnson Elliptical Trainer. Place the
unit where it will be used before beginning the setup procedure.
MAKING A CHOICE OF SITE
The site should be well-lit and well-ventilated. Locate the E8000 on a structurally solid
and flat surface a few feet from the wall or any equipment. If the site has a heavy
plush carpet, to protect the carpeting and machinery, you should place a rigid plastic
base under the unit.
Please do not place the Total Body Elliptical Trainer in an area of high humidity, such
as the vicinity of a steam room, indoor pool, or sauna. Exposure to intensive water
vapour or chlorine could adversely affect the electronics, as well as other parts of the
machine. To make exercise a desirable daily activity for you, the Total Body Elliptical
Trainer should be in an attractive setting.
STABILIZING THE JOHNSON ELLIPTICAL TRAINER
After placing the unit where it will be used, check its stability. If the Elliptical E8000 is
placed on a slightly, uneven surface, adjusting the adjustable levelers located
underneath the base frame can help, but will not compensate for extremely uneven
surfaces. To adjust, loosen the nut, and turn the leveler until the rocking motion
ceases, and both levelers rest firmly on the floor. Retighten the nut.
SETUP THE ELLIPTICAL
UNPACKING THE TOTAL BODY ELLIPTICAL TRAINER
The Elliptical Trainer is carefully inspected before shipment so it should arrive in good
operating condition. Johnson Fitness ships the unit in the following pieces:
NOTE: If these parts are missing from the package, please contact Johnson Fitness or
the local authorised dealers at once.

WORKOUT OVERVIEWS
This chart lists the Johnson elliptical trainer’s pre-programmed workouts.
Quick Start is the fastest way to begin exercising
and bypasses the setup prompts. After pressing
the QUICK START key, a constant-level workout
begins.
Warm-up is a low-intensity phase that brings the
heart rate into the lower end of the target zone
and increases respiration and blood flow to
working muscles.
Cool-down is a low-intensity phase that allows
the body to begin removing lactic acid, and
other exercise by-products, which build up in
muscles and contribute to soreness.
Manual is a constant intensity level unless it is
manually changed.
Hill Interval is an efficient workout by alternating
work intervals and recovery intervals.
Random Hill is an interval training workout that
occurs in no regular pattern or progression.
CONSTANT
WATTS
RANDOM
Constant Watts is designed to maintain your
watts expenditure at a constant level by
controlling pedaling resistance and prompting
you to pedal at a specified RPM. Watts level
may vary above and below your target watts
level during this program.
Random is a workout of constantly changing
intensity levels that occur in no regular pattern
or progression.

Time Goal sets exercise duration as the workout
goal. Once the objective is met, the workout
automatically goes into a cool-down phase and
ends afterward.
Distance Goal is designed to build endurance in
a certain distance. Once the objective is met,
the workout automatically goes into a cool-down
phase, and ends afterward.
Calories Goal is designed to burn a certain
number of selected calories. Once the objective
is met, the workout automatically goes into a
cool-down phase and ends afterward.
Target HR is a higher intensity workout for
maintaining a heart rate to achieve maximum
exercise results. The user must wear a heart
rate chest strip, or keep hands on contact heart
rate grips continuously. The program adjusts
the intensity level, based on the actual heart
rate, to maintain the rate at 80 percent of the
theoretical maximum.
Weight Loss is a low-intensity workout for
burning the body’s fat reserves. The user must
wear a heart rate chest strip, or keep hands on
contact heart rate grips continuously. The
program adjusts the intensity level, based on
the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 65
percent of the theoretical maximum.
Fit Test measures cardiovascular fitness and
can be used to monitor improvements in your
endurance.

WORKOUT TIPS
1. Johnson Fitness strongly recommends seeing your physician for a complete physical
examination before beginning any fitness program. Know your physician-recommended
heart rate target zone. If, at any time while exercising, you experiences faintness,
dizziness, pain, or shortness of breathe, you must stop immediately.
2. To mount the elliptical trainer, grasp the front stationary handlebars and place your feet
on the pedals. When you are comfortably situated, begin pedaling. To dismount the
elliptical trainer, stop pedaling, grasp the front stationary handlebars and get off the unit.
3. It is highly recommended that you always incorporate the warm-up and cool-down
period into your workout. Warm-up brings the heart rate into the lower end of the
target zone and increases respiration and blood flow to working muscles. Cool-down
takes time for a user’s heart rate to return to a resting state after vigorous exercise
and reduces the amount of lactic acid in muscle tissue.
WORKOUT SETUP STEPS
Different elliptical trainer workouts require different setup procedure. This section
provides details for setting up any workout program.
1. Begin to pedal the elliptical trainer.
2. Use the PROGRAM PLUS™ KEYS to enter the program, or use RIGHT / LEFT ARROW keys
to scroll to desired program. The program name is displayed in the PROMPT AREA.
3. Use the RIGHT / LEFT ARROW keys to scroll to desired parameter values displayed in the
PROMPT AREA.
4. Press the SELECT key to confirm each selection. Follow the steps to set up each workout.
Note: The PROGRAM PLUS™ KEYS with a symbol of plus “Ŕ” have couple of similar
workout options included. Press the key repeatedly to select the desired program.
Or, press the program key once and use RIGHT / LEFT ARROW keys to scroll to the
desired program.
