HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
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 power cord into an appro-
priate outlet that is properly installed and ground-
ed in accordance with all local codes and ordi-
nances. This product is for use on a nominal 120-
volt circuit. IMPORTANT: The elliptical exerciser is
not compatible with GFCI-equipped outlets.
A temporary adapter may be used to connect the
power cord to a 2-pole receptacle as shown at the
right if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The
temporary adapter should be used only until a proper-
ly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified elec-
trician.
The green-
colored rigid
ear, lug, or
the like
extending
from the
adapter must
be connected
to a perma-
nent 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 ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
Due to the size and weight of the elliptical exercis-
er, moving it requires two persons. Stand in front of
the elliptical exerciser, hold the upright, and place one
foot against one of the front wheels. Pull on the
upright and have a second person lift the rear of the
track until the elliptical exerciser will roll on the front
wheels. Carefully move the elliptical exerciser to the
desired location, and then lower it to the floor.
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
If the elliptical
exerciser rocks
slightly on your
floor during
use, turn one or
both of the lev-
eling feet
beneath the
base or
beneath the
front stabilizer until the rocking motion is eliminated. If
the elliptical exerciser flexes during use, turn the level-
ing foot beneath the center of the frame.
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.

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
EXERCISER
To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the handlebars
and step onto the pedal that is in the lower position.
Then, step onto the other pedal. Push the pedals until
they begin to move with a continuous motion. Note:
The crank arms can turn in either direction. It is
recommended that you turn the crank arms in the
direction shown by the arrow below; however, for
variety, you can turn the crank arms in the oppo-
site direction.
To dismount the elliptical exerciser, wait until the ped-
als come to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical
exerciser does not have a free wheel; the pedals
will continue to move until the flywheel stops.
When the pedals are stationary, step off the higher
pedal first. Then, step off the lower pedal.

HOW TO USE A WEIGHT LOSS WORKOUT
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the con-
sole to turn on the console.
A moment after you begin pedaling or press a but-
ton, the display will light.
2. Select a weight loss workout.
To select one of the
four weight loss
workouts, press the
Weight Loss
Workouts button
repeatedly until the
name of the
desired workout
appears in the display. The workout time and a
profile of the resistance levels for the workout will
also appear in the display.
3. Begin pedaling or press the Start button to
start the workout.
Each workout is divided into several one-minute
segments. One resistance level and one target
rpm (pace) setting are programmed for each seg-
ment. Note: The same resistance and/or target rpm
setting may be programmed for consecutive seg-
ments.
The resistance level and the target rpm for the first
segment will appear in the center of the display for
a few seconds. During the workout, the workout
profile will show your progress (see the drawing
above). The flashing segment of the profile repre-
sents the current segment of the workout. The
height of the flashing segment indicates the resis-
tance level 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. If a different resistance level and/or
target rpm is programmed for the next segment,
the resistance level and/or the target rpm will flash
in the display for a few seconds to alert you. The
resistance of the pedals will then change.
As you exercise,
you will be prompt-
ed to keep your
pedaling pace near
the target rpm set-
ting for the current
segment. When an
upward-pointing arrow appears in the display,
increase your pace. When a downward-pointing
arrow appears in the display, decrease your pace.
When no arrows appear, maintain your current
pace.
IMPORTANT: The target rpm settings are
intended only to provide motivation. Your actu-
al pace may be slower than the target rpm set-
tings. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is com-
fortable for you.
If the resistance level for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override the
setting by pressing the Resistance buttons.
IMPORTANT: When the current segment of the
workout ends, the pedals will automatically
adjust to the resistance level programmed for
the next segment.
The workout will continue in this way until the last

HOW TO USE A CLASSIC WORKOUT
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the con-
sole to turn on the console.
A moment after you begin pedaling or press a but-
ton, the display will light.
2. Select a classic workout.
To select one of the
twenty classic
workouts, press the
Classic Workouts
button repeatedly
until the name of
the desired workout
appears in the dis-
play. The workout time and a profile of the resis-
tance levels for the workout will also appear in the
display.
3. Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Each workout is divided into 20, 30, or 45 one-
minute segments. One resistance level and one
target rpm (pace) setting are programmed for each
segment. Note: The same resistance and/or target
rpm setting may be programmed for consecutive
segments.
The resistance level and the target rpm for the first
segment will appear in the center of the display for
a few seconds. During the workout, the workout
profile will show your progress (see the drawing
above). The flashing segment of the profile repre-
sents the current segment of the workout. The
height of the flashing segment indicates the resis-
tance level 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. If a different resistance level and/or
target rpm is programmed for the next segment,
the resistance level and/or target rpm will flash in
the display for a few seconds to alert you. The
resistance of the pedals will then change.
As you exercise,
you will be prompt-
ed to keep your
pedaling pace near
the target rpm set-
ting for the current
segment. When an
upward-pointing arrow appears in the display,
increase your pace. When a downward-pointing
arrow appears in the display, decrease your pace.
When no arrows appear, maintain your current
pace.
IMPORTANT: The target rpm settings are
intended only to provide motivation. Your actu-
al pace may be slower than the target rpm set-
tings. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is com-
fortable for you.
If the resistance level for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override the
setting by pressing the Resistance buttons.
IMPORTANT: When the current segment of the
workout ends, the pedals will automatically
adjust to the resistance level for the next seg-
ment.
The workout will continue in this way until the last
segment ends. To stop the workout at any time,
stop pedaling. A tone will sound and the time will
begin to flash in the display. To restart the workout,
simply resume pedaling.
4. Follow your progress with the display.
See step 4 on page 16.
5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 17.
6. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.

HOW TO PLAY THE FAT BLOCKER GAME
The Fat Blocker game requires quick thinking and fast
reflexes. In addition to the console buttons, you will
use the four-button game controllers on the handle-
bars to play the game. Follow the steps below to play
the Fat Blocker game.
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the con-
sole to turn on the console.
A moment after you begin pedaling or press a but-
ton, the display will light.
2. Select the Fat Blocker game.
To select the Fat Blocker game, press the Fat
Blockers button. The words FAT BLOCKER will
appear at the top of the display.
3. Pedal to start the game.
When you start the Fat Blocker game, a game
arena will appear in the center of the display.
A block composed of four or five black squares will
slowly move downward until it reaches the bottom
of the arena. Another block will then move down-
ward. There are blocks of eight different shapes.
As each block falls, you can move it to the left or
right using the left and right buttons on the left
controller. In addition, you can rotate the block
counterclockwise or clockwise using the left and
right buttons on the right controller. Once you have
positioned and oriented a block, you can speed its
motion to the bottom of the arena, if desired, by
pressing the down button on either controller.
Your goal is to
maneuver the
blocks so that they
form a complete
row of black
squares across the
entire arena. Each
time you complete a row of black squares, the row
will disappear, and all blocks above will move
downward one row.
As you play, the blocks will fall faster and faster;
however, your pedaling pace will affect the speed
of the blocks—the faster you pedal, the more
slowly the blocks will fall, giving you extra time to
position and orient the blocks. The game will con-
tinue until any part of a stacked block reaches the
top of the arena.
When the game ends, the display will show your
final score and the level of play that you reached.
The display will then show the four highest scores
recorded since the scores were reset. If desired,
press and hold down the right button on either
controller to reset the scores.
If your score is one of the four highest, the display
will prompt you to enter a name consisting of three
letters or digits. While the line below the first letter
is flashing, press the up and down buttons on
either controller to select the desired letter or digit.
Next, press the right button on either controller
and select another letter or digit. Repeat this
process to select a third letter or digit. Then, press
the right button on either controller again. The dis-
play will then show the four highest scores record-
ed since the scores were reset. Note: You can
also use the increase, decrease, and Enter but-
tons on the console to enter a high score name.
4. Follow your progress with the display.
While you exercise and play the Fat Blocker game,
the corners of the display will show the elapsed
time, the approximate number of calories you have
burned, and your pedaling pace. In addition, the
display will show your current score and the game
level that you have reached.
To pause the game, press the Display Mode but-
ton. To resume the game, press the Display Mode
button repeatedly until the words FAT BLOCKER
appear at the top of the display, and then begin
pedaling.
5. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
See step 6 on page 17.
