HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of
electric shock, The power cord has a plug with a
grounding pin.
Plug the
power cord Grounded Outlet
into an
appropriate Grounding Pin
outlet that
is properly
installed and
grounded in
accordance
with all local
codes and
ordinances. The outlet must be on a nominal 120-volt
circuit.
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.
Lug
Receptacle
Adapter
Metal Screw
The lug or wire extending from the adapter must
be connected with a metal screw to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box covers are not
grounded. Before using an adapter, contact a quali-
fied electrician to determine whether the outlet
box cover is grounded before using an adapter.
The temporary adapter should be used only until
a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician.

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.
While you exercise, the console will display continu-
ous exercise feedback. You can also measure your
heart rate using the handgrip heart rate monitor or an
optional chest heart rate monitor.
The console offers twenty-four onboard workouts.
Each workout automatically changes the resistance of
the pedals and the incline of the ramp and prompts you
to vary your pedaling pace as it guides you through an
effective workout. You can also set a calories, distance,
or time goal.
through an optional iFit module. With the iFit mode,
you can download personalized workouts, create your
own workouts, track your workout results, race against
other iFit users, and access many other features. To
purchase an iFit module at any time, go to
www.iFit.com or call the telephone number on the

The display will then turn on and the console will be
ready for use.
Note: When you turn on the power for the first
time, the incline of the ramp may calibrate auto-
matically. The ramp will move upward and downward
as it calibrates. When the ramp stops moving, the ramp
is calibrated.
IMPORTANT: If the incline of the ramp does not
calibrate automatically, see HOW TO CALIBRATE
THE RAMP on page 29 and manually calibrate
the ramp.
HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE
