HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER
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 crosstrainer 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 outlet box covers
are not grounded. Contact a qualified electrician to
determine if the outlet box cover is grounded
before using an adapter.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
CROSSTRAINER
To mount the elliptical crosstrainer, hold the handgrip
pulse sensor 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
direction. It is recommended that you turn the
pedal disks in the direction shown by the arrow
below; however, for variety, you can 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.
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.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers a selection of features
designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and
effective. When the manual mode of the console is
selected, the resistance of the pedals and the angle of
the ramp can be changed with the touch of a button.
As you pedal, the console will provide continuous
exercise feedback. ou can even measure your heart
rate using the built-in handgrip pulse sensor.
In addition, the console offers six Smart programs. Each
program automatically changes the resistance of the
pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease your
pace as it guides you through an effective workout.
The console also features iFIT.com interactive technol-
ogy. Having iFIT.com interactive technology is like hav-
ing a personal trainer in your home. Using a stereo
audio cable (available at electronics stores), you can
connect the elliptical crosstrainer to your home stereo,
portable stereo, computer, or VCR and play special
iFIT.com CD and video programs (iFIT.com CDs and
videocassettes are available separately). iFIT.com CD
and video programs automatically control the resis-
tance of the pedals and prompt you to vary your pace
as a personal trainer coaches you through every step
of your workout. High-energy music provides added
motivation. To purchase iFIT.com CDs and video-
cassettes, call toll-free 1-800-735-0768.
With the elliptical crosstrainer connected to your com-
puter, you can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com
and access programs directly from the internet.

Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical crosstrainer
regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
For smooth opera-
tion of the elliptical
crosstrainer, clean
the ramp regularly
using a soft cloth
and a small amount
of mild detergent.
Other parts of the
elliptical crosstrainer
can be cleaned in
the same way. Keep
liquids away from the console. Never use abra-
sives or solvents.
HOW TO OVE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER
Stand in front of
the elliptical
crosstrainer,
hold the handle-
bars firmly, and
place one foot
against the ramp
in the location
shown. Pull the
handlebars until
the elliptical
crosstrainer can
be moved on the
front wheels,
and carefully
move the ellipti-
cal crosstrainer
to the desired
location. Then,
place one foot against the ramp and lower the ellipti-
cal crosstrainer. Due to the size and weight of the
elliptical crosstrainer, use extreme caution while
moving and lowering it.
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER
After the elliptical
crosstrainer has
been moved, make
sure that the ends
of both stabilizers
are touching the
floor. If the elliptical
crosstrainer rocks
slightly during use,
turn one or both of
the leveling feet
under the front stabilizer until the rocking motion is
eliminated.
HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
If there are sheets of clear plastic on the metal con-
tacts on the handgrip pulse sensor, peel off the plas-
tic. For optimal performance of the handgrip pulse
sensor, keep the metal contacts clean using a soft
cloth and a small amount of mild detergent. Never
use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals.
Avoid moving your hands or squeezing the handgrip
pulse sensor too tightly. Excessive movement or pres-
sure may interfere with heart rate readings. For the
most accurate heart rate reading, hold the metal con-
tacts for about 30 seconds.
