HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
This product must be earthed. If it should
malfunction or break down, earthing provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk
of electric shock. This product’s power cord has an
equipment-earthing conductor and an earthing plug.
IMPORTANT: If the power cord is damaged, it must
be replaced with a manufacturer-recommended
power cord.
Follow the steps below to plug in the power cord.
1. Plug the indicated end of the power cord into the
socket on the frame.
2. Plug the power cord into an appropriate outlet that
is properly installed and earthed in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER: Improper connection of
the equipment-earthing conductor can result
in an increased risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or serviceman if
you are in doubt as to whether the product
is properly earthed. 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 MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL
Due to the size and weight of the elliptical, moving
it requires two persons. Stand in front of the elliptical,
hold the upright (A), and place one foot against one of
the wheels (B). Pull on the upright and have a second
person lift the handle (C) until the elliptical will roll on
the wheels. Carefully move the elliptical to the desired
location, and then lower it to the floor.
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL
If the elliptical rocks slightly on your floor during use,
turn one or both of the leveling feet (D) beneath the
rear of the frame or turn the leveling foot (E) under
the center of the frame until the rocking motion is
eliminated.
HOW TO USE THE TABLET HOLDER
IMPORTANT: The tablet holder (F) is designed
for use with most full-size tablets. Do not place
any other electronic device or object in the tablet
holder.
To insert a tablet into
the tablet holder (F),
insert the bottom edge
of the tablet in the
tray. Make sure that
the tablet is firmly
secured in the tablet
holder. If applicable
to your tablet holder
model, rotate and/or
pivot the tablet holder
to the desired position.
Reverse these actions to remove the tablet from the
tablet holder.

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
To mount the elliptical, hold the handlebars (G) or the
upper body arms (H) and step onto the pedal (I) that is
in the lower position. Then, step onto the other pedal.
Push the pedals until they begin to move with a con-
tinuous motion. Note: The pedals can turn in either
direction. It is recommended that you turn the ped-
als in the direction shown by the arrow; however,
for variety, you can turn the pedals in the opposite
direction.
To dismount the elliptical, wait until the pedals (I) come
to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical does not
have a free wheel; the pedals will continue to move
until the flywheel stops. When the pedals are station-
ary, step off the higher pedal first. Then, step off the
lower pedal.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers an array of features
designed to make your workouts more effective and
enjoyable.
When you use the manual mode of the console, you
can change the resistance of the pedals and the incline
of the ramp with the touch of a button.
As you exercise, the console will provide continu-
ous exercise feedback. You can even measure your
heart rate using the handgrip heart rate monitor or
a compatible heart rate monitor. See page 24 for
information about purchasing an optional chest
heart rate monitor.
You can also connect your tablet to the console and
use the iFit®–Smart Cardio Equipment app to record
and track your workout information.
The console also offers a selection of onboard work-
outs. Each onboard workout automatically changes the
resistance of the pedals and prompts you to maintain
a target pedaling speed as it guides you through an
effective workout.
You can even listen to your favorite workout music or
audio books with the console sound system while you
exercise.
To turn on the power, see page 20. To use the
manual mode, see page 20. To use an onboard
workout, see page 23. To use the sound system,
see page 24. To connect your tablet to the con-
sole, see page 24. To connect your heart rate
monitor to the console, see page 25. To change
console settings, see page 25.
Note: If there is a sheet of plastic on the display,
remove the plastic.
Note: The console can display speed and distance in
either standard units or metric units. To change the unit
of measurement, press the St/Met button repeatedly.
For simplicity, all instructions in this section refer to
standard units.
