be left over after assembly is completed. To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat under the
elliptical crosstrainer.
8. Apply a small amount of grease 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 crosstrainer.
Next, slide the Left Rear Spring Bracket (12) on the left
Pedal Spring (11) onto the axle. Slide a Spring Bracket
Washer (35) onto an M10 x 27mm Patch Screw (40),

inside of the Front Spring Bracket (65) on the left Pedal
Spring (11). Apply grease to an M10 Bolt Set (25).
Attach the Handlebar Leg to the Front Spring Bracket
with the Bolt Set. Do not overtighten the Bolt Set;
the Handlebar Leg must pivot freely.
Attach the right Pedal Spring (not shown) to the right
side of the elliptical crosstrainer in the same way.
Refer to step 5. Tighten the M10 x 74mm Bolts (7) in
the Upright (2).

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER
HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE OF THE
PEDALS
As you exercise,
you can adjust
the resistance of
the pedals with
the resistance
knob on the
right side of the
console. To
increase the
resistance,
turn the knob
clockwise; to
decrease the
resistance, turn
the knob counter-
clockwise. The
number in the
resistance win-
dow displays the
resistance level.
HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDALS
The motion of
the elliptical
crosstrainer is
determined by
the position of
the pedals.
To adjust the
pedals, first
loosen the pedal
knobs beneath
the pedals. Slide
the pedals for-
ward or back-
ward to one of
the five posi-
tions, and then
retighten the
knobs. 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.
To exercise only your lower body, hold the console
handgrip as you exercise.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
CROSSTRAINER
To mount the
elliptical cross-
trainer, hold the
console hand-
grip and step
onto the pedal
that is in the
lowest position.
Then, 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 direc-
tion. It is rec-
ommended that you move the pedal disks in the
direction shown by the arrow; however, for variety,
you may turn the pedal disks in the opposite direc-
tion.
To dismount the elliptical crosstrainer, wait until the
pedals come to a complete stop. (Note: The elliptical
crosstrainer does not have a free wheel; the ped-
als 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.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The easy-to-use console features seven modes that
provide instant exercise feedback during your work-
outs. The modes are described below.
Speed—This mode displays your pedalling speed.
Time—This mode displays the elapsed time. Note: If
you stop pedalling for ten seconds or longer, the time
mode will pause.
Distance—This mode displays the distance you have
pedalled.
Calories—This mode displays the approximate num-
ber of calories you have burned.
Fat Calories—This mode displays the approximate
number of fat calories you have burned (see FAT
BURNING on page 13).
Scan—This mode displays the speed, time, distance,
calorie, and fat calorie modes, for a few seconds
each, in a repeating cycle.
Heart Rate—This mode shows your heart rate when
you use the heart rate sensor.
Note: The console can display speed and distance in
either miles or kilometers. To change the unit of mea-
surement, hold down the On/Reset button for a few
seconds. The mode indicators will show which unit of
measurement is selected. When the batteries are
replaced, it may be necessary to reselect the desired
unit of measurement.
HOW TO OPERATE THE CONSOLE
Make sure that there are batteries in the console (see
assembly steps 3 and 4 on page 6). If there is a thin
sheet of clear plastic on the console, remove it.
Follow the steps below to operate the console.
1. To turn on the power, press the On/Reset button or
simply begin pedalling. When the power is turned
on, the entire display will appear for two seconds.
The console will then be ready for operation.
2. Select one of the seven modes:
Scan mode—
When the power is
turned on, the
scan mode will
automatically be
selected. The scan
indicator will
appear in the dis-
play to show that
the scan mode is selected, and a second mode
indicator will show which mode is currently dis-
played. Note: If a different mode is selected, you
can select the scan mode again by repeatedly
pressing the Display Mode button.
Speed, time, dis-
tance, calories,
or fat calories
mode—To select
one of these
modes for continu-
ous display, press
the Display Mode
button repeatedly
until only the MPH (or Km/H), Time, Miles (or Kms),
Cals., or Fat Cals. indicator appears in the display.
Make sure that the Scan indicator does not appear.
To reset the display at any time, press the On/Reset
button.
