HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
"
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER SUPPLY
Plug one end of the included power supply into the
jack on the front of the elliptical exerciser. Plug the
other end of the power supply into an appropriate out-
let that is properly installed
in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
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 frame
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 LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
If the elliptical exer-
ciser rocks slightly
on your floor during
use, turn one.or
both of the leveling
feet beneath the
front and rear of the Leveling
frame until the rock- Foot
------.\.\~-
ing motion is
eliminated.
HOW TO ADJUST THE STRIDE OF THE
ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
To adjust the stride of the elliptical exerciser, turn the
adjustment knob clockwise while pulling it outward
until the adjustment arm pivots freely. Pivot the adjust-
ment arm until the adjustment knob is aligned with one
of the holes
in the handlebar leg, and gently release
the knob. Then, pivot the adjustment arm back and
forth slightly to make sure that the adjustment pin is
engaged
in one of the holes in the handlebar leg.
Adjust the other side of the elliptical exerciser in
the same way.

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 pedals can turn in either direction. It is recom-
mended 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 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 advanced console offers an array of features
designed to make your workouts more effective and
enjoyable. When you select the manual mode of the
console, you can change the resistance of the pedals
with the touch of a button. As you exercise, the con-
sole will provide continuous exercise feedback.
You
can even measure your heart rate using the handgrip
pulse sensor.
The console also offers twenty preset workouts. Each
workout automatically changes the resistance of the
pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease your
pedaling pace 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 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.
To
use the manual mode, see page 16. To use a
preset workout, see page 18. To use an iFIT work-
out, see page 19. To use the sound system, see
page 19.
Note: If there is a sheet of clear plastic on the face of
the console, remove the plastic.
