10.Make sure that all parts of the elliptical crosstrainer are properly tightened. Note: Some hardware may
be left over after assembly is completed. To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat under the
elliptical crosstrainer.
9. Identify the Left Rear Spring Bracket (12) on the left
Pedal Spring (11). Apply a light coat of grease inside of
the Pedal Arm Bushings (37) in the Left Rear Spring
Bracket and 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 onto the axle. Slide a Spring
Bracket Washer (35) onto an M10 x 27mm Patch
Screw (40), and tighten the Patch Screw into the axle.
Next, hold the lower end of the left Handlebar Leg (5)
inside of the Front Spring Bracket (76) on the left Pedal
Spring (11). Apply grease to an M10 Bolt Set (74).
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.
Tighten the M6 x 25mm Screw (7) into the Upright (2).
Turn the Upright Knob (43) clockwise until it is tight.
See step 7. Tighten the M8 x 45mm Button Bolts (50)

HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER
Stand behind the elliptical crosstrainer, hold the Rear
Stabiliser (9) firmly, and lift the elliptical crosstrainer
until it can be moved on the Wheels (22). Carefully
move the elliptical crosstrainer to the desired location
and then lower it. CAUTION: To decrease the possi-
bility of injury, bend your legs and keep your back
straight as you lift the Rear Stabiliser; make sure
to lift with your legs rather than your back.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER
HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDALS AND THE UPRIGHT
The motion of the elliptical crosstrainer is determined
by the positions of the pedals and the upright. Follow
the instructions below to adjust the motion of the ellip-
tical crosstrainer.
To adjust the
pedals, first
remove the
pedal knob
beneath each
pedal. Slide the
pedals forward
or backward and
reattach each
pedal using one
of the five holes
in the pedal and
one of the three
holes in the
pedal spring.
Make sure that
both pedals are
in the same position.
To adjust the upright, first turn the upright knob counter-
clockwise a few turns to loosen it. Next, pull the knob,
raise or lower the upright to the desired height, and
then release the knob. Move the upright up and
down slightly until the pin on the knob snaps into
one of the four adjustment holes in the upright.
Make sure that the upright is not resting on top of
the pin. Then, turn the knob clockwise until it is tight.
HOW TO USE 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.
To exercise only
your lower body,
hold the handgrip pulse sensor as you exercise.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
CROSSTRAINER
To mount the
elliptical cross-
trainer, hold the
handgrip pulse
sensor and step
onto the pedal
that is in the
lowest position.
Then, step onto
the other pedal.
Push the ped-
als until they
begin to move
with a continu-
ous 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 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.

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 elliptical crosstrainer
can be adjusted with a touch of a button. As you
pedal, the console will provide continuous exercise
feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using
the built-in handgrip pulse sensor. Note: See page 14
for information about an optional chest pulse sensor.
The console also offers six workout programs. Each
program automatically changes the resistance of the
elliptical crosstrainer and prompts you to increase or
decrease your pace as it guides you through an effec-
tive workout.
Note: If there is a thin sheet of clear plastic on the face
of the console, remove it before operating the console.
