ASSEMBLY
To hire an authorized service technician to assemble the elliptical exerciser, call 1-800-445-2480.
Assembly requires two persons. Place all parts of the elliptical exerciser in a cleared area and remove the
packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. In addition to the
included tools, assembly requires a Phillips screwdriver , two adjustable
wrenches , a rubber mallet , and pliers .
Use the drawings below to identify the small parts required for assembly. The number in parentheses below
each drawing is the key number of the part, from the PART LIST near the end of this manual. The number fol-
lowing the key number is the quantity needed for assembly. Note: Some small parts may have been pre-
assembled. If a part is not in the hardware kit, check to see if it has been preassembled.

a sticker. Apply a small amount of grease to the axle
on the Right Handlebar, to the Pivot Arm Cover (64),
and to the Inner Upright Cover (63).
Next, slide the Right Handlebar (9) onto the right Pivot
Shaft (15), and insert the axle on the Right Handlebar
into the Right Upright (3). Note: Position the Right
Pedal (13) near the top of the Ramp (5), and lift
and push the Right Pedal sideways, toward the
center of the Ramp, to insert the axle into the
Right Upright.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
This product
must be
grounded.
If it should
malfunction
or break
down,
grounding
provides a
path of least
resistance for
electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This prod-
uct is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug the
power cord into an appropriate outlet that is prop-
erly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances. This product is for
use on a nominal 120-volt circuit. IMPORTANT:
The elliptical exerciser is not compatible with
GFCI-equipped outlets.
A temporary
adapter may
be used to
connect the
power cord
to a 2-pole
receptacle
as shown at
the right if a
properly
grounded
outlet is not
available. The temporary adapter should be used only
until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in
place by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle out-
let box covers are not grounded. Contact a quali-
fied electrician to determine if the outlet box cover
is grounded before using an adapter.
Note: When the power cord is plugged in, the ellip-
tical exerciser’s incline system may automatically
calibrate itself. During the calibration process,
three dashes (– – –) will appear in the console dis-
play, and the ramp will rise to the highest position
and then sink to the lowest position. The calibra-
tion process will last for one to two minutes. If the
incline system does not calibrate itself, see HOW
TO CALIBRATE THE INCLINE SYSTEM on page 22.
EXERCISING ON THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the handlebars
and 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.
To dismount the elliptical exerciser, wait until the ped-
als come to a complete stop. The elliptical exerciser
does not have a free wheel; the pedals will contin-
ue to move until the flywheel stops. When the ped-
als are stationary, step off the highest pedal first.
Then, step off the lowest pedal.
DANGER: Improper connection of
the equipment-grounding conductor can result
in an increased risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or serviceman if
you are in doubt as to whether the product is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the product—if it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qual-
ified electrician.
