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
upright. To
increase the
resistance,
turn the knob
clockwise; to
decrease the
resistance, turn
the knob counter-
clockwise.
HOW TOUSE THE HANDLEBARS
The handlebars
are designed to
add upper-body
exercise to your
workouts. As you
exercise, push
and pull the han-
dlebars to work
your arms, shoul-
ders, and back.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
CROSSTRAINER
To mount the
elliptical cross-
trainer, hold the
handles on the
console or 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 continu-
ous motion.
Note: The
pedal disks
can turn in either direction. It is recommended 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 direction.
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.

Note: If there is a sheet of clear plastic on
the face of the console, remove the plastic.
HOW TO USE THE CONSOLE
Turn on the console.
Note: The console requires four 1.5V “D” batteries
(see assembly step 3 on page 6).
To turn on the console, press the On/Reset button
or begin pedaling. (See the drawing above to
identify the On/Reset button.)
Follow your progress with the display.
The upper sec-
tion of the dis-
play will show
the total number
of revolutions you
have pedaled
and the numbers of
calories and fat calories you
have burned (see FATBURNING on page 13 for
an explanation of fat calories). The display will
change from one number to the next every few
seconds. If you use the handgrip pulse sensor,
the display will also show your heart rate (see
step 3 on page 11).
The center of
the display will
show the elapsed
time you have
pedaled.
The lower sec-
tion of the dis-
play will show
your pedaling
pace, in revolu-
tions per minute
(RPM).
