3. The elliptical exerciser is intended for
home use only. Do not use the elliptical
exerciser in a commercial, rental, or institu-
tional setting.
4. Keep the elliptical exerciser indoors, away
from moisture and dust. Place the elliptical
exerciser on a level surface, with a mat
beneath it to protect the floor or carpet.
Make sure that there is enough clearance
around the elliptical exerciser to mount, dis-
mount, and use it.
5. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-
larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

cising.
9. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor or the han-
dlebars when mounting, dismounting, or
using the elliptical exerciser.
10. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is
intended only as an exercise aid in determin-
ing heart rate trends in general.
11. Keep your back straight while using the ellip-
tical exerciser; do not arch your back.
12. If you feel pain or dizziness while exercising,
stop immediately and cool down.

ber on the front cover of this manual and
order a free replacement decal. Apply the
decal in the location shown.

left over after assembly is completed. To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat under the ellip-
tical exerciser.
8. Identify the Left Rear Spring Bracket (12) on the left
Pedal Spring (11). Apply a small amount of grease
inside the Pedal Arm Bushings (37) in the Left Rear
Spring Bracket and to the axle on the left Disc
Crossbar (16). Slide a Spring Spacer (63) onto the
axle; make sure that the Spring Spacer is turned
so the flat side is facing the elliptical exerciser.
Next, slide the Left Rear Spring Bracket onto the axle.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
Stand behind the elliptical exerciser, hold the Rear
Stabilizer (9) firmly, and lift the elliptical exerciser until
itcan be moved on the Wheels (22). Carefully move
the elliptical exerciser to the desired location, and then
lower it. To decrease the possibility of injury, bend
your legs and keep your back straight as you lift
the Rear Stabilizer; make sure to lift with your legs
rather than with your back.
HOW TOLEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
If the elliptical exerciser rocks slightly on your floor,
turn one or both of the leveling feet under the rear sta-
bilizer until the rocking motion is eliminated.
HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDALS
The motion of
the elliptical exer-
ciser is deter-
mined by the
positions of the
pedals. To adjust
each pedal, first
remove the pedal
knob beneath the
pedal. Slide the
pedal forward or
backward, and
then reattach the
pedal using one
of the five holes
in the pedal and
one of the three
holes in the pedal spring. Make sure that both pedals
are in the same position.
HOW TO USE THE HANDLEBARS
The handlebars are
designed to add
upper-body exer-
cise to your work-
outs. As you exer-
cise, push and pull
the handlebars to
work your arms,
shoulders, and
back.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
EXERCISER
To mount the
elliptical exer-
ciser,hold the
handlebars and
step onto the
pedal that is in
the lowest posi-
tion. 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 direc-
tion. It is rec-
ommended
that you move
the pedal discs in the direction shown by the
arrow; however, for variety, you may turn the pedal
discs in the opposite direction.
To dismount the elliptical exerciser, wait until the ped-
als come to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical
exerciser does not have a free wheel; the pedals
will continue to move until the flywheel stops.
When the pedals are stationary,step offthe highest
pedal first. Then, step off the lower pedal.
