pedals will continue to move until the fly-
wheel stops. Reduce your pedaling speed in
a controlled way.
19. Keep your back straight while using the ellip-
tical; do not arch your back.
20. Over exercising may result in serious injury
or death. If you feel faint or if you experience
pain while exercising, stop immediately and

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
This product must be earthed. If it should malfunc-
tion or break down, earthing provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the
risk of electric shock. This product is equipped
with a power cord having 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.
1. Plug the
indicated end
of the power
cord into the
receptacle on
the rear of the
elliptical.
2. Plug the
power cord
into an appro-
priate outlet
that is properly
installed and
earthed in
accordance
with all local
codes and
ordinances.
Note: Your
power cord
and outlet may look different from those shown in
the drawing.
HOW TO FOLD AND UNFOLD THE ELLIPTICAL
When the elliptical is not in use, the frame can be
folded out of the way. First, lift the latch under each
pedal arm, and lift the pedal arms off the sleeves on
the crank arms.
DANGER: Improper connec-
tion 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.

Next, raise the pedal arms until the magnets on the
pedal arms touch the handlebars; the magnets will hold
the pedal arms in place. Then, hold the handle and lift
the frame until it locks in a vertical position.
To use the elliptical, first hold the handle, press the
latch button, and lower the frame.
Next, pull the magnets on the pedal arms off the han-
dlebars. Then, lift the latches under the pedal arms,
and set the pedal arms on the sleeves on the crank
arms. Release the latches, and make sure that the
pedal arms are securely connected to the crank arms.
HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL
To move the elliptical, first fold it as described on page
15. Next, stand in front of the elliptical, hold the
upright, and place one foot against one of the wheels.
Pull the upright until the elliptical rolls on the wheels.
With the help of a second person, 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 level-
ing feet beneath
the rear stabi-
lizer until the
rocking motion is
eliminated.
If the frame of
the elliptical
flexes during
use, turn the
center leveling
foot until the
flexing motion is
eliminated.
HOW TO ADJUST THE POSITIONS OF THE PEDALS
Each pedal can
be adjusted to
several positions.
To adjust each
pedal, simply lift
the pedal and
turn the pedal
knob beneath
the pedal. Make
sure to adjust
both pedals
to the same
position.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
To mount the elliptical, hold the upper body arms or the
handlebars and step onto the pedal that is in the lowest
position. Next, step onto the other pedal. Push the ped-
als until they begin to move with a continuous motion.
Note: The discs can turn in either direction. It is
recommended that you turn the discs in the direc-
tion shown by the arrow; however, for variety you
can turn the discs in the opposite direction.
To dismount the elliptical, wait until the pedals 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 stationary,
step off the higher pedal first. Then, step off the
lower pedal.

to vary your pedaling pace as it guides you through an
effective workout. You can also set a calories, distance,
or time goal.
The console also features revolutionary iFit technol-
ogy that enables the console to communicate with your
wireless network through an optional iFit module. With
iFit, you can download personalized workouts, create
your own workouts, track your workout results, race
against other iFit users, and access many other fea-
tures. To purchase an iFit module at any time, go to
www.iFit.com or call the telephone number on the
front cover of this manual.
You can even connect your MP3 player or CD player
to the console sound system and listen to your favorite
music or audio books while you exercise.
