7. Adjust arms (optional)
Note: Before completing this step, plug in and ride your elliptical cross trainer for a few
moments to get a feel for the arm motion. If the reach of the arm motion feels right (as it will for
most users), proceed to step 8. If the reach is too long or too short, carefully follow these steps
to shorten or extend the reach by approximately 1.5 inches:
a. Locatetherodendlinkthatconnectstotheblackbar(pivot)

re-insert the bolt in the hole closest to the front of your

hole closest to the user end of the machine. Make sure that
the spacer remains in place between the rod end link
and the black bar, with the pocket side of the spacer
toward the rod end link.
c. Replace the nut and tighten. This connection must be
very tight.
d. Repeat for the other arm.

mode—a virtual off button. This eliminates the
need for an on/off switch. When your product is in
sleep mode, it uses very little power. Unplugging
your elliptical will not harm or erase My QuickStart
