cal. Then, plug
the power adapter
into an appropriate
outlet that is properly
installed in accor-
dance with all local codes and ordinances.
HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL
Due to the size and weight of the elliptical, mov-
ing it requires two persons. Have a second person
place one foot against one of the wheels. Grip the
handle and lift the frame 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

floor during use,
turn one or both
of the leveling feet
beneath the front of
the frame until the
rocking motion is
eliminated.
HOW TO USE THE TABLET HOLDER
IMPORTANT: The tablet holder 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 tab-
let into the tablet
holder, set the
bottom edge of
the tablet in the
tray. Then, pull the
clip over the top
edge of the tablet.

to move with a continuous motion. Note: The pedals
can turn in either direction. It is recommended that
you turn the pedals 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 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.
