7. Adjust arms (optional)
Note: Before completing this step, ride the 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 arm link that connects to the black bar (pivot)
inside the machine. The black bar has three holes in it with
the arm link attached through the center hole with a 13mm
nut.
b. While supporting the arm, remove the 13mm nut and
carefully ease the link from the center hole in the black bar.
To extend the reach of the arm, re-insert the link in the hole
closest to the front of your elliptical trainer. To shorten the
reach, re-insert the link in the hole closest to the user end of
the machine.
c. Replace the nut and tighten. This connection must be
very tight.
d. Repeat for the other arm.
Should you have any questions or concerns in making this
adjustment, please contact your local service provider or
contact Octane Fitness Customer Service at 1.888.OCTANE4,
ext. 1.
8. Place handlebar covers
a. Position the handlebar cover (H) at the base of the handlebar
(F or G).
b. Press cover onto handlebar until it snaps into place.
c. Repeat for other handlebar.

9. Adjust stride length (optional)
Note: The PRO3700 is initially set to the “Jogging” stride
length of 20.5”. To adjust to “Running” length (24”), follow
these steps:
a. Locate the 3-pivot link on the right side of the machine. It
is secured to the pivot arm by 3 bolts and a bracket. For
“Jogging” stride, the two forward bolts (away from the user)
are inserted in the center and upper holes in the 3-pivot link.
For “Running” stride, the 2 forward bolts must be inserted in
the center and lower holes.
b. Use 17mm wrenches to loosen bolt “A”, then remove the 2
forward bolts (“B” and “C”).
c. Lift up on the 3-pivot link and insert bolt “B” into the center
hole and bolt “C” into the lower hole in the 3-pivot link
(marked 24”); tighten.
d. Repeat steps 1-3 for the left side of the machine.
e. Grasp the plastic shroud “D” at the bottom of the rails and
pull up to remove it.
f. Use a 4mm hex wrench to remove bolts “E” and “F” securing
the center track cover “G” to the frame; slide the track cover
down.
f. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove screws “H” and
“I” that secure the stride label badge to the track cover
“G”. Turn badge “J” from “Jogging” to “Running”, then
reposition the badge on the cover and secure with screws
“H” and “I”.
g. Slide the track cover up into position and secure it with the
bolts “E” and “F”.
h. Reposition the plastic shroud “D” at the bottom of the rails
and press it until it snaps into position.
h. Press and hold the Program and Level keys on the console.
Press the Up Arrow () key to set the stride length to
“Running”, then press Enter.
Note: The position of the bolts on both sides of the machine
and the console setting must match (Running or Jogging)
for the unit to work correctly.

11. Install mast boot
a. Place the rubber mast boot (I) around the mast (C), covering
the open ends of the stationary handlebars.
b. Tuck the ends of the mast boot (I) into the channels in the
access panel (E) just below the stationary handlebars.
10. Place top cover
a Align top cover (D) on top of main housing. Hold the back
edge (near the mast) in place and shift the front edge
forward until it settles into position.
b. While still holding the back edge in place, press firmly on
the bottom edge of the front of the cover until it snaps into
place. You will feel and hear it snap into place as
the plastic bracket on the inside of the front bottom
edge clips onto the steel tube at the front of the main
frame.
c. Secure the top cover to the access panel using 2 Phillips
screws with washers (M).

12. (Optional) CSAFE Connection
a. If your facility is using CSAFE, connect the CSAFE
RJ-45 cable to the CSAFE port at the base of the machine.
Tug the cable gently to ensure the connector is
completely seated.

13. Adjust levelers
a. Adjust the levelers to make sure the product sits flat on the
floor. Begin by screwing all four levelers all the way into the
machine. If the floor is level, this should be sufficient. If there
is some uneveness in the floor, make minor adjustments to
the back levelers first to stabilize side-to-side motion, then
tighten the leveler nuts to the top of each back leveler to
lock.
b. Adjust the front levelers as necessary to eliminate any front-
to-back rocking. Tighten each leveler nut to the top of the
leveler to lock.
Note: If you move your PRO3700, you may need to adjust
the levelers to make sure your product is level with
the floor.
Caution: If the unit is not level, it may not function
properly.
Front Levelers
Rear Levelers
14. Set user preferences
a. Press and hold both the Up Arrow () and Down Arrow ()
keys for three seconds, or until you hear a double-beep.
Working with the owner of the unit, use the Up Arrow ()
or Down Arrow () key to step through the customizable
functions: Warm-up (On/Off), Clock Direction (Up/Down),
Max Workout Time, Unit Type (English/Metric), Beep (On/
Off), and Brightness. Use the Enter key to toggle through
the available options for each function, and press the Up
Arrow () or Down Arrow () key to select a setting and
move to the next function. To exit without changing any
values, press Pause Clear twice.
More detailed User Set-up information can be found in the
PRO3700 Operations Manual.

Moving the Product
It is safest to move the product to its installation location in its shipping carton. It may be easier to move the
product into your floor space after you remove it from the packaging, but be careful not to hit any walls or doors.
The PRO3700 features transport wheels on the front of the unit. Be careful when moving from one surface to
another, such as hardwood floor to carpet.
Note: If you need to pick up your elliptical there are hand placement slots under the front shroud. Please take
caution when lifting. The elliptical weighs 320 lbs. when fully assembled.
Tip: When using the front transport wheels, it is easier to pull the unit rather than push it.
