HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
This product must be grounded. If it should mal-
function or break down, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk
of electric shock. The power cord has a plug with a
grounding pin.
Plug the
power cord
into an
appropriate
outlet that
is properly
installed and
grounded in
accordance
with all local
codes and
ordinances.
The outlet must be on a nominal 120-volt circuit.
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 lug or wire extending from the adapter must
be connected with a metal screw to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box covers are not
grounded. Before using an adapter, contact a
qualied electrician to determine whether the out-
let box cover is grounded before using an adapter.
The temporary adapter should be used only until
a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualied electrician.
DANGER: Improper connection of
the power cord increases the risk of electric
shock. Do not modify the plug—if it will not fit
an outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician. If you are unsure whether
the product is properly grounded, contact a
qualified electrician.

HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL
Due to the size and weight of the elliptical, moving
it requires two persons. Stand in front of the elliptical,
hold the upright (A), and place one foot against one of
the wheels (B). Pull on the upright and have a second
person lift the handle (C) 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 (D) beneath the
rear of the frame or turn the leveling foot (E) under
the center of the frame until the rocking motion is
eliminated.
HOW TO USE THE TABLET HOLDER
IMPORTANT: The tablet holder (F) 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 tablet into
the tablet holder (F),
insert the bottom edge
of the tablet in the
tray. Make sure that
the tablet is firmly
secured in the tablet
holder. If applicable
to your tablet holder
model, rotate and/or
pivot the tablet holder
to the desired position.
Reverse these actions to remove the tablet from the
tablet holder..

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
To mount the elliptical, hold the handlebars (G) or the
upper body arms (H) and step onto the pedal (I) that is
in the lower position. Then, step onto the other pedal.
Push the pedals until they begin to move with a con-
tinuous motion. Note: The pedals can turn in either
direction. It is recommended that you turn the ped-
als in the direction shown by the arrow; however,
for variety, you can turn the pedals in the opposite
direction.
To dismount the elliptical, wait until the pedals (I) 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 station-
ary, step off the higher pedal first. Then, step off the
lower pedal.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
IMPORTANT: To activate your console and begin
using its exclusive features, see assembly step 19
on page 15.
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 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 24 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 pedaling speed as it guides you through an
effective workout.
You can even listen to your favorite workout music or
audio books with the console sound system while you
exercise.
To turn on the power, see page 20. To use the
manual mode, see page 20. To use an onboard
workout, see page 23. To use the sound system,
see page 24. To connect your tablet to the con-
sole, see page 24. To connect your heart rate
monitor to the console, see page 25. To change
console settings, see page 26.
Note: If there is a sheet of plastic on the display,
remove the plastic.
Note: The console can display speed and distance in
either standard units or metric units. To change the unit
of measurement, press the Std/Met button repeatedly.
For simplicity, all instructions in this section refer to
standard units.
