HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL
Due to the size and weight of the elliptical, moving
it requires two persons. Stand in front of the ellipti-
cal, hold the upright, and place one foot against one of
the front wheels. Pull on the upright and have a second
person lift the rear stabilizer 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
slightly on your floor
during use, turn one
or both of the level-
ing feet beneath the
rear stabilizer until
the rocking motion
is eliminated.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER ADAPTER
IMPORTANT: If the elliptical has been exposed to
cold temperatures, allow it to warm to room tem-
perature before you plug in the power adapter. If
you do not do this, you may damage the console
displays or other electronic components.
Plug the power
adapter into the
receptacle on the
frame of the elliptical.
Insert the appropriate
plug adapter into the
power adapter if nec-
essary. Then, plug
the power adapter
into an appropriate
outlet that is properly
installed in accor-
dance with all local codes and ordinances.

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
To mount the elliptical, hold the handlebars or the
upper body arms and step onto the pedal that is in the
lowest position. Then, step onto the other pedal.
Push the pedals until they begin to move with a
continuous motion. Note: The pedal discs can turn
in either direction. It is recommended that you
move the pedal discs in the direction shown by the
arrow; however, for variety, you can turn the pedal
discs 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 highest pedal first. Then, step off the lowest
pedal.
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. Make
sure that the tablet
is firmly secured
in the tablet holder. Rotate the tablet holder to the
desired angle. Reverse these actions to remove the
tablet from the tablet holder.

CONSOLE DIAGRAM 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 with the touch
of a button.
You can also create custom manual workouts with
alternating high- and low-intensity intervals.
As you exercise, the console will provide continu-
ous exercise feedback. You can even measure your
heart rate using the handgrip heart rate monitor or
a compatible heart rate monitor. See page 22 for
information about purchasing an optional chest
heart rate monitor.
You can also connect your tablet to the console and
use the iFit®Bluetooth Tablet app to record and track
your workout information.
The console also offers a selection of onboard work-
outs. Each onboard workout automatically changes the
resistance of the pedals and prompts you to maintain a
target power output as it guides you through an effec-
tive workout.
You can even listen to your favorite workout music or
audio books with the console sound system while you
exercise.
To use the manual mode, see page 18. To use an
onboard workout, see page 21.
To use the sound system, see page 22. To con-
nect your tablet to the console, see page 22. To
connect your heart rate monitor to the console,
see page 23. To use the settings mode, see
page 23.

will be selected automatically.
If you have selected a workout, reselect the manual
mode by pressing the Manual Control button.
3. Enter your weight.
Press the Wt increase
and decrease buttons to
enter your weight.
Note: The console will use your weight to calcu-
late your approximate power output and calories
burned. If you do not enter your weight, the console
will use a default value to calculate your power
output and calories burned.
4. Change the resistance of the pedals as desired.
Begin pedaling to start the manual mode.
As you pedal, you can
change the resistance
of the pedals. To change
the resistance, press
one of the numbered
Quick Resistance
buttons or press the Silent Magnetic Resistance
increase and decrease buttons.
Note: After you press a button, it will take a
moment for the pedals to reach the selected
resistance level.
5. Do interval training, if desired.
As you exercise, you can alternate between
intervals of low-intensity (recovery) exercise
and intervals of high-intensity (work) exercise, if
desired.
To create a recovery interval, first adjust the
resistance of the pedals to the desired level. Then,
press and hold the Recovery button until two tones
sound to save the interval setting.
To create a work interval, first adjust the resistance
of the pedals to the desired level. Then, press and
hold the Work button until two tones sound to save
the interval setting.
As you exercise, press the Recovery and Work
buttons as desired to alternate between the saved
interval settings. After you press a button, the resis-
tance of the pedals will automatically adjust to the
level that you saved.
To change the interval settings at any time during
your workout, simply repeat this step.
6. Follow your progress with the power ring, and
set a power output target, if desired.
The power ring
will provide a
visual representa-
tion of your power
output in watts
per kilogram of
body weight. As
your power out-
put increases or
decreases, a solid
bar will appear or
disappear in the
power ring.

manual mode, a flashing indicator will appear in
the power ring to indicate your power output target.
As you exercise, adjust your pedaling speed or the
resistance of the pedals to keep your power output
near the power output target.
To change the power output target at any time
during your workout, simply repeat the actions
above.
IMPORTANT: The power output target is
intended only to provide motivation. Make sure
to pedal at a speed and a resistance level that
is comfortable for you.
