HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
Due to the size and weight of the elliptical
exerciser, moving it requires two persons. Stand in
front of the elliptical exerciser, hold the upright, and
place one foot against one of the front wheels. Pull on
the upright and have a second person lift the track
until the elliptical exerciser will roll on the front wheels.
Carefully move the elliptical exerciser to the desired
location, and then lower it to the floor.
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
If the elliptical
exerciser
rocks slightly
on your floor
during use,
turn one or
both of the lev-
eling feet
beneath the
base or
beneath the front stabilizer until the rocking motion is
eliminated.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
EXERCISER
To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the handlebars
and step onto the pedal that is in the lower position.
Then, step onto the other pedal. Push the pedals until
they begin to move with a continuous motion. Note:
The crank arm covers can turn in either direction.
It is recommended that you turn the crank arm
covers in the direction shown by the arrow below;
however, for variety, you can turn the crank arm
covers 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 off the higher
pedal first. Then, step off the lower pedal.

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 display
continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure
your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor.
The console has five calorie goal workouts designed
to help you burn 300, 400, or 500 calories in 25-, 30-
or 45-minute workouts. The calorie goal workouts auto-
matically control the resistance of the pedals and
prompt you to vary your pace while counting the calo-
ries you burn.
The console also has five preset workouts that auto-
matically change the resistance of the pedals and
prompt you to vary your pace while guiding you through
an effective workout.
To use the manual mode of the console, follow the
steps beginning on page 13. To use a calorie goal
workout, see page 15. To use a preset workout, see
page 16.

When you select the
manual mode, the cen-
ter display will show a
track that represents
640 revolutions. As you
exercise, indicators will appear in succession
around the track until the entire track appears. The
track will then disappear and the indicators will
again begin to appear in succession.
The center display will
also show the resis-
tance level of the ped-
als for a few seconds
each time the resis-
tance level changes.
The right display—
This display will show
the distance (total revo-
lutions) you have ped-
aled and your pedaling
pace, in revolutions per
minute (rpm).
The upper display—When you select the manual
mode, the upper display will show the approximate
number of calories you have burned.

5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
If there are sheets of
clear plastic on the
metal contacts on the
handgrip pulse sen-
sor, remove the plas-
tic. To measure your
heart rate, hold the
handgrip pulse sensor
with your palms resting
against the metal con-
tacts. Avoid moving
your hands or gripping the contacts tightly.
When your pulse is
detected, a heart-
shaped symbol will
flash in the left display.
Each time your heart
beats, one or two
dashes will appear, and then your heart rate will
be shown. For the most accurate heart rate read-
ing, hold the contacts for at least 15 seconds. Note:
If you continue to hold the handgrip pulse sensor,
the display will show your heart rate for up to 30
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
metal contacts tightly. For optimal performance,
clean the metal 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 button 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 auto-
matically.
7. 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 about five minutes,
the console will turn off and the display will be
reset.

HOW TO USE A CALORIE GOAL WORKOUT
1. Turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 13.
2. Select a calorie goal workout.
Press the Workout button repeatedly until the name
of the desired calorie goal workout appears in the
upper display. When you select a calorie goal
workout, the name of the workout and the workout
time will appear in the displays and a profile of the
resistance levels of the workout will scroll across
the center display.
3. Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Each workout is divided into 25, 30, or 45 one-
minute segments. One resistance level and one
target rpm (revolutions per minute) setting are pro-
grammed for each segment. Note: The same resis-
tance level and/or target rpm setting may be pro-
grammed 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 differ-
ent resistance level is programmed for the next
segment, the resistance level will flash in the dis-
play for a few seconds to alert you. The resistance
of the pedals will then change.
As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep
your pedaling pace near the target rpm setting for
the current segment. When the words PEDAL
FASTER appear in the upper display or the GO
FASTER indicator on the pace guide is lit,
increase your pace. When the words PEDAL
SLOWER appear or the GO SLOWER indicator is
lit, decrease your pace. When the words PEDAL-
ING IN RANGE appear or when the center indica-
tor is lit, maintain your current pace.
IMPORTANT: The target rpm settings are
intended only to provide motivation. Your actu-
al pace may be slower than the target rpm set-
tings. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is com-
fortable for you. Note: If you manually override
the resistance settings of a calorie goal workout,
you may not reach your calorie goal.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a series
of tones will sound and the workout will pause. To
restart 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.
When the last segment of the workout ends, the
words PROGRAM DONE will appear in the upper
display.
4. Follow your progress with the displays.
See step 4 on page 13.
5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 14.
6. Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 14.

When you select a preset workout, the name of
the workout and the workout time will appear in
the displays and a profile of the resistance levels
of the workout will scroll across the center display.
3. Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Each workout is divided into 20, 30, or 45 one-
minute segments. One resistance level and one
target rpm (revolutions per minute) setting are pro-
grammed for most segments. (Note: The same
resistance level and/or target rpm setting may be
programmed for consecutive segments.) The dis-
plays for a preset workout will work in the same way
as the displays for a calorie goal workout (see step
3 on page 15).
As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep
your pedaling pace near the target rpm setting for
the current segment. When the words PEDAL
FASTER appear in the upper display or the GO
FASTER indicator on the pace guide is lit,
increase your pace. When the words PEDAL
SLOWER appear or the GO SLOWER indicator is
lit, decrease your pace. When the words PEDAL-
ING IN RANGE appear or when the center indica-
tor is lit, maintain your current pace.
IMPORTANT: The target rpm settings are
intended only to provide motivation. Your actu-
al pace may be slower than the target rpm set-
tings. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is com-
fortable for you.

screwdriver toward
the rear of the
elliptical exerciser until the Belt (80) is tight, and then
tighten the three screws.
Reattach the left side shield and the left crank arm
cover. Then, see step 11 on page 10 and reattach the
left pedal leg and the left link arm.
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, first see EXPLODED DRAWING A near the
end of this manual and loosen the M6 x 25mm Button
Screw (61) in the center of the right Crank Arm Cover
(32), and then carefully rotate the right Crank Arm
Cover out of the way.
Next, see the drawing below and locate the Reed
Switch (21). Loosen, but do not remove, the indicated
M4 x 16mm Screw (72). Slide the Reed Switch slightly
closer to or away from the Magnet (18) on the Pulley
(13).
Then, retighten the M4 x 16mm Screw (72). Turn one
of the Crank Arms (31) for a moment. Repeat until the
console displays correct feedback. When the Reed
Switch is correctly adjusted, replace the crank arm
cover.
CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING
If the console display becomes dim, the batteries
should be replaced; most console problems are the
result of low batteries. See assembly step 5 on page 7
for replacement instructions.
HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
If the console does not display your heart rate when
you hold the handgrip pulse sensor, or if the displayed
heart rate appears to be too high or too low, see step
5 on page 14.
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
If the elliptical exerciser rocks slightly on your floor
during use, see HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL
EXERCISER on page 11.
HOW TO GREASE THE ROLLERS
See the EXPLODED DRAWING near the end of this
manual. If the Rollers (27) squeak when moving on
the Track (2), apply the contents of the included pack-
et of white marine grease equally to each Roller.
Spread the grease evenly around the Rollers. Pedal
the elliptical exerciser until a thin film of grease is dis-
tributed along the Track; wipe off any excess grease.

These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise
program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a
reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,
proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for
successful results.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper inten-
sity is the key to achieving results. You can use your
heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level.
The chart below shows recommended heart rates for
fat burning and aerobic exercise.
To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the
bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the near-
est ten years). The three numbers listed above your
age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is
the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the
heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exer-
cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of
time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your
body uses
carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after
the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin
to use stored
fat calories for energy. If your goal is to
burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your
heart rate is near the lowest number in your training
zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your
heart rate near the middle number in your training
zone.
Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic
exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts
of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until
your heart rate is near the highest number in your
training zone.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Warming up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body
temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation
for exercise.
Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 min-
utes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During
the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not
keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer
than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you
exercise–never hold your breath.
Cooling down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of
stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your
muscles and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. After a few months of regular exer-
cise, you may complete up to five workouts each
week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is to
make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your
everyday life.
EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WARNING: Before beginning
this or any exercise program, consult your
physician. This is especially important for
persons over the age of 35 or persons with
pre-existing health problems.
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.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right.
Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.
1. Toe Touch Stretch
Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from
your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach
down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts,
then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, backs of
knees, and back.
2. Hamstring Stretch
Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot
toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended
leg. Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15
counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches:
Hamstrings, lower back, and groin.
3. Calf/Achilles Stretch
With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your
hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back
foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward, and move
your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat
3 times for each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles
tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles
tendons, and ankles.
4. Quadriceps Stretch
With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp
one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your
buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3
times for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
5. Inner Thigh Stretch
Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward.
Pull your feet toward your groin as far as possible. Hold for 15
counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip
muscles.
