HOW TO USE THE ELLI TICAL EXERCISER
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLI TICAL
EXERCISER
To mount the elliptical exerciser, firmly hold the han-
dlebars or the T-handle and carefully step onto the
pedal that is in the lowest position. Next, step onto the
other pedal. Push the pedals until they begin to move
with a continuous motion. Note: The pedal disks can
turn in either direction; it is recommended that
you turn the pedal disks in the direction shown
below; however, to give variety to your exercise,
you may choose to turn the pedal disks in the
opposite direction.
To dismount the elliptical exerciser, allow the pedals
to come to a complete stop. CAUTION: The elliptical
exerciser does not have a freewheel; 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 ADJUST THE RESISTANCE OF THE
EDALS
As you exercise,
you can adjust
the resistance of
the pedals with
the resistance
knob on the
console. To
increase the
resistance,
turn the knob
clockwise; to
decrease the
resistance, turn the knob counterclockwise.

DESCRI TION OF THE CONSOLE
The console is designed to help you get the most
from your workouts. As you exercise, you can watch
your progress around the LED track, while the
display provides continuous exercise feedback.
The six modes of the display are described below.
SPEED—This mode displays your current exercise
speed, in miles per hour.
TIME—This mode displays the length of time you
have exercised. Note: If you stop exercising, the time
mode will pause until you resume.
DIST.—This mode displays the total distance you
have completed, in miles.
LAPS—This mode displays the number of 1/4-mile
laps you have completed around the LED track.
CAL.—This mode displays the approximate number of
Calories you have burned.
SCAN—This mode displays the speed, time, distance,
laps, and calorie modes, for 5 seconds each, in a
repeating cycle.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
Before the console can be operated, two 1,5V batter-
ies must be installed. If you have not installed batter-
ies, see assembly step 7 on page 8.
HOW TO O ERATE THE CONSOLE
If there is a thin sheet of clear plastic on the face of
the console, remove it.
1. To turn on the power, press the “on/reset” button or
simply begin exercising. When the power is turned
on, one LED indicator will light in the LED track,
and the entire display will appear for two seconds.
The console will then be ready for operation.
2. Select one of the six modes:
Scan mode—
When the power
is turned on, the
scan mode will
automatically be
selected. ne
mode indicator
will show that the
scan mode is selected, and a flashing mode indica-
tor will show which mode is currently displayed.
Note: If a different mode is selected, you can
select the scan mode again by repeatedly pressing
the mode button.
Speed, Time,
Distance, Laps, or
Calorie mode—To
select one of
these modes for
continuous dis-
play, press the
mode button repeatedly. The mode indicators will
show which mode is selected. (Make sure that the
scan mode is not selected.)
3. The LED track represents a distance of 1/4 mile. As
you exercise, the indicators around the track will
light one at a time until you have completed 1/4
mile. A new lap will then begin.
4. To reset the display, press the “on/reset” button.
5. To turn off the power, simply wait for about four
minutes. Note: The console has an “auto-off”
feature. If the pedals are not moved and the
console buttons are not pressed for four
minutes, the power will turn off automatically
in order to conserve the batteries.
