HOW TO USE THE ELLiPTiCAL
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 handle on 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 leveling feet
beneath the rear sta-
bilizer until the rocking
motion is eliminated. Leveling Feet
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.

Pedals
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.

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. As you exercise, the console will provide
continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure
your heart rate using the handgrip heart rate monitor.
The console offers sixteen preset workouts--eight
weight loss and eight performance workouts. Each
preset workout automatically changes the resistance
of the pedals as it guides you through an effective
workout.
You can even connect your MP3 player or CD player
to the console sound system and listen to your favorite
music or audio books while you exercise.
To use the manual mode, see page 17. To use a
preset workout, see page 18. To use the sound
system, see page 19.
Note: If there is a sheet of plastic on the display,
remove the plastic.

5. Measure your heart rate if desired. HOW TO USE APRESET WORKOUT
if there are sheets of
plastic on the metal Contacts
contacts on the
handgrip heart rate
monitor, remove the
plastic, in addition,
make sure that your
hands are clean. To
measure your heart
rate, hold the handgrip
heart rate monitor with your palms resting against
the contacts. Avoid moving your hands or grip-
ping the contacts tightly.
When your pulse is detected, a heart-shaped
symbol will flash in the display and then your heart
rate will be shown. For the most accurate heart rate
reading, hold the contacts for at least 15 seconds.
If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that your
hands are positioned as described. Be careful not
to move your hands excessively or to squeeze the
contacts tightly. For optimal performance, clean
the contacts using a soft cloth; never use alcohol,
abrasives, or chemicals to clean the contacts.
6. Turn on the fan if desired.
.
The fan has high and low speed
settings. Press the Fan increase
and decrease buttons repeatedly
to select a fan speed or to turn off
the fan.
Note: If the pedals do not move for about thirty
seconds, the fan will turn off automatically.
When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
If the pedals do not move for several seconds, a
series of tones will sound, the console will pause,
and the time will flash in the display.
If the pedals do not move for several minutes, the
console will turn off and the display will be reset.
1. Turn on the console.
Press any button or begin pedaling to turn on the
console.
When you turn on the console, the display will turn
on. A tone will sound and the console will be ready
for use.
2. Select a preset workout.
To select a preset work-
out, press the 8 Wt. Loss
Workouts button or the 8
Perform. Workouts button
repeatedly until the num-
ber of the desired workout
appears in the lower display.
Profile
When you select a preset workout, a profile of the
resistance levels of the workout will scroll across
the upper display, the duration of the workout will
appear in the center display, and the number of the
workout will appear in the lower display.
3. Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Each workout is divided into several one-minute
segments. One resistance level is programmed for
each segment. Note: The same resistance level
may be programmed for consecutive segments.
During the workout, the workout profile will show
your progress (see the drawing above). The flash-
ing segment of the profile represents the current
segment of the workout. The height of the flashing
segment indicates the resistance level for the cur-
rent segment.
At the end of each segment of the workout, a
series of tones will sound and the next segment of
the profile will begin to flash. If a different resis-
tance level is programmed for the next segment,
the resistance level will flash in the display for a
few seconds to alert you. The resistance of the
pedals will then change.
18

If the resistance level for the current segment is too
high or too low, you can manually override the set-
ting by pressing the Resistance buttons. However,
when the current segment ends, the pedals will
automatically adjust to the resistance level for the
next segment.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a series of
tones will sound and the workout will pause.
To resume the workout, simply resume pedaling.
The workout will continue until the last segment
of the profile flashes and the last segment of the
workout ends.
4. Follow your progress with the display.
See step 4 on page 17.
5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 18.
6. Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 18.
7. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
See step 7 on page 18.
HOW TO USE THE SOUND SYSTEM

sound system while you exercise, plug your audio
cable into the jack on the console and into a jack on
your MP3 player or CD player; make sure that your
audio cable is fully plugged in.
Next, press the play button on your
MP3 player or CD player. Adjust
the volume level using the Volume
increase and decrease buttons on the
console or the volume control on your
MP3 player or CD player. @

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical regularly.
Replace any worn parts immediately.
To clean the elliptical, use a damp cloth and a small
amount of mild soap. iMPORTANT: To avoid damage
to the console, keep liquids away from the console
and keep the console out of direct sunlight.
CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING
If the console display becomes dim, replace all the bat-
teries at the same time; most console problems are the
result of low batteries. See assembly step 7 on page
9 for replacement instructions.
If the console does not display your heart rate when
you use the handgrip heart rate monitor, see step 5 on
page 18.
HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH
If the console does not display correct feedback, the
reed switch should be adjusted.
To adjust the reed switch, you must first remove the
Shield Cover (37). Using a flat screwdriver, release
the tabs along the sides of the Shield Cover and then
remove the Shield Cover.
Note: For clarity, the pedal disc is shown removed in
the drawing below.
Next, locate the Reed Switch (58). Loosen, but do not
remove, the M4 x 16mm Screw (53).
37
Next, rotate the Pulley (65) until a Magnet (41) is
aligned with the Reed Switch (58). Slide the Reed
Switch slightly toward or away from the Magnet. Then,
retighten the M4 x 16mm Screw (53).
Rotate the Pulley (65) for a moment. Repeat these
actions until the console displays correct feedback.
When the reed switch is correctly adjusted, reattach
the shield cover.
