outs that change the resistance of the pedals to keep
your heart rate near target heart rate settings while
you exercise.
The console also features the iFIT Interactive Workout
System, which enables the console to accept iFIT
cards containing workouts designed to help you
achieve specific fitness goals. For example, lose
unwanted pounds with the 8-week Weight Loss work-
out. iFIT workouts control the resistance of the pedals
while the voice of a personal trainer coaches you
through your workouts, iFIT cards are available sepa-
rately. To purchase iFIT cards, go to www.iFIT.com
or see the front cover of this manual, iFIT cards
are also available at select stores.
You can even connect your MP3 player or CD player
to the console's sound system and listen to your
favorite music or audio books while you exercise.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical exerciser
regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
To clean the elliptical exerciser, use a damp cloth and
a small amount of mild soap. IMPORTANT: To avoid
damage to the console, keep liquids away from
the console and keep the console out of direct
sunlight.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the console displays become dim or if the console
does not function correctly, the batteries should be
replaced; most console problems are the result of low
batteries. See assembly step 9 on page 9 for replace-
ment instructions.
HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
If the handgrip pulse sensor does not function proper-
ly, see step 5 on page 16.
HOW TO ELIMINATE RUBBING OF THE DISCS
If the Discs (12) rub against the Shields (14, 15) during
use, make sure that the Center Foot (40) is installed in
the Frame (1). If the Center Foot is installed, loosen
the two indicated M8 x 25mm Bolt Sets (88) and the
two M4 x 19mm Screws (81) in each side of the ellipti-
cal exerciser.

see assembly steps 12 and 13 on page 11 and
remove the left pedal arm and the left link arm.
Then, carefully
pry off the left

center of the left 13
Disc (12). Gently 12
rotate the Disc
Cover and the
Disc away from the elliptical exerciser.
Loosen, but do
not remove, the
three indicated
screws (A). Insert
the shaft of a
screwdriver
downward
between the pul- 48
ley (B) and the
Idler Pulley (48).
Pull the top of the
screwdriver
toward the front
of the elliptical exerciser until the Belt (74) is tight.
Then, tighten the three screws.
Reattach the left disc with the four screws and then
reattach the left disc cover. Next, see assembly steps
12 and 13 on page 11 and reattach the left pedal arm
and the left link arm.
Adjust the position of the Shields (14, 15) until the
Discs (12) no longer rub against them, and then tight-
en the Bolt Sets (88) and the M4 x 19mm Screws (81).
