ASSEMBLY
Assembly requires two persons. Place all parts of the elliptical exerciser in a cleared area and remove the
packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed.
In addition to the included tool(s), assembly requires a Phillips screwdriver _====_, two adjustable
wrenches _, and a rubber mallet _.
As you assemble the elliptical exerciser, use the drawings below to identify small parts. The number in parenthe-
ses below each drawing is the key number of the part, from the PART LIST near the end of this manual. The
number following the parentheses is the quantity needed for assembly. Note: Some small parts may have
been preassembled. If a part is not in the hardware kit, check to see if it has been preassembled.

14. Plug the power adapter into the jack on the back of the console (see HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER
ADAPTER on page 12). IMPORTANT: If the elliptical exerciser has been exposed to cold temperatures,
allow it to warm to room temperature before plugging in the power adapter. If you do not do this, you
may damage the console displays or other electronic components.
Make sure that all parts are properly tightened before you use the elliptical exerciser. Note: After assem-
bly is completed, some extra parts may be left over. Place a mat beneath the elliptical exerciser to protect the
floor.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER ADAPTER
Plug one end of the included power adapter into the
jack on the console. Plug the other end of the power
adapter into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed in accordance with all local codes and ordi-
nances.
Note: The console can also be operated with four 1.5V
D batteries (not included); alkaline batteries are rec-
ommended. Locate the battery cover on the back of
the console. Remove the battery cover, insert the bat-
teries into the battery compartment, and then reattach
the battery cover. Make sure to orient the batteries
as shown by the diagrams inside the battery com-
partment.
HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
Due to the size and weight of the elliptical
exerciser, 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 handle
on the ramp 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 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; however, for variety,
you can turn the crank arms in the opposite direc-
tion.
HOW TO CHANGE THE INCLINE OF THE RAMP
To vary the motion of the pedals, you can change the
incline of the ramp. To change the incline, press the
latch button, pull the ramp handle, and raise or lower
the ramp to the desired incline level. Then, release the
latch button and engage the latch pin into one of the
adjustment holes in the frame. The white line on the
latch button must be visible or the latch pin is not fully
engaged. Make sure that the latch pin is firmly
engaged in one of the adjustment holes in the
frame.

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.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The revolutionary 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
with the touch of a button. While you exercise, the
console will display continuous exercise feedback. You
can also measure your heart rate using the handgrip
pulse sensor.
In addition, the console offers twelve trainer workouts
and four weight loss workouts. Each workout automat-
ically changes the resistance of the pedals as it guides
you through an effective workout.
The console 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 call the telephone number on 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.
To use the manual mode, see page 15. To use a
trainer workout, see page 17. To use a weight loss
workout, see page 18. To use an iFit workout, see
page 19. To use the sound system, see page 19. To
change console settings, see page 20.
Note: If there is a sheet of clear plastic on the face
of the console, remove the plastic.

the metal con-
tacts on the
handgrip pulse
sensor, remove
the plastic. To
measure your
heart rate, hold the
handgrip pulse
sensor with your
palms resting
against the metal contacts. Avoid moving your
hands or gripping the contacts tightly.
When your pulse is !1
detected, a flashing
heart symbol will
appear in the dis-
play, and then your
heart rate will
appear. For the most accurate heart rate reading,
hold the contacts for at least 15 seconds. Note: If
you continue to hold the handgrip pulse sensor,
the display will show your heart rate for up to 30
seconds.
If the display does not show your heart rate, make
sure that your hands are positioned as described.
Be careful not to move your hands excessively or
to squeeze the metal contacts tightly. For optimal
performance, clean the metal contacts using a soft
cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemi-
cals to clean the contacts.
6. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
If the pedals do not move for several seconds, a
tone will sound and the console will pause.
If the pedals do not move for several minutes and
the buttons are not pressed, the console will turn
off and the display will be reset.

The resistance level for the first segment will
appear in 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 represents the current seg-
ment of the workout. The height of the flashing
segment indicates the resistance level for the cur-
rent 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 differ-
ent resistance level is programmed for the next
segment, the resistance level will appear in the
display for a few seconds to alert you. The resis-
tance of the pedals will then change.
If the resistance level for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override the
setting by pressing the Silent Magnetic Resistance
buttons. IMPORTANT: When the current seg-
ment of the workout ends, the pedals will
automatically adjust to the resistance level
programmed for the next segment.
