and in the same pedal position.
4. The Console (23) requires four “AA” batteries; alkaline
batteries are recommended. IMPORTANT: If the
elliptical exerciser has been exposed to cold tem-
peratures, allow it to warm to room temperature
before inserting batteries into the Console. If you
do not do this, the console displays or other elec-
tronic components may become damaged.
Remove the battery cover and insert four batteries
into the battery compartment; make sure that the

the Pivot Axle (7). Then apply grease to two Wave
Washers (43).
Insert the Pivot Axle (7) into the Upright (2), and cen-
ter the Pivot Axle. Turn a Handlebar Spacer (47) so
that the small arrow on the Handlebar Spacer points
toward the floor, and slide the Handlebar Spacer onto
the Left Handlebar (6). Next, slide a Wave Washer (43)
onto the Pivot Axle.
Slide the Left Handlebar (6) onto the Pivot Axle (7).
Attach the Left Handlebar with an M8 x 25mm Patch
Screw (56) and a Handlebar Washer (55). Then, press
the tabs on a Handlebar Cap (46) into the Handlebar
Spacer (47).

8. Identify the Left Rear Spring Bracket (12) on the left
Pedal Spring (11). Apply a small amount of grease
inside 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) and a
23mm Wave Washer (83) onto the axle; make sure
that the Spring Spacer is turned so the flat side is
facing the elliptical exerciser. Next, slide the Left
Rear Spring Bracket onto the axle. Slide a Spring

inside 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.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
Stand behind the elliptical exerciser, hold the Rear
Stabilizer (9) firmly, and lift the elliptical exerciser until
itcan be moved on the Wheels (22). Carefully move
the elliptical exerciser to the desired location, and then
lower it. To decrease the possibility of injury, bend
your legs and keep your back straight as you lift
the Rear Stabilizer; make sure to lift with your legs
rather than with your back.
HOW TOLEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
If the elliptical exerciser rocks slightly on your floor,
turn one or both of the leveling feet under the rear sta-
bilizer until the rocking motion is eliminated.
HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDALS
The motion of the
elliptical exerciser
is determined by
the positions of
the pedals. To
adjust each pedal,
first remove the
pedal knob
beneath the
pedal. Slide the
pedal forward or
backward, and
then reattach the
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.
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.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
EXERCISER
To mount the ellip-
tical exerciser,
hold the handle-
bars 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 continuous
motion. Note: The
pedal discs can
turn in either
direction. It is
recommended
that you move
the pedal discs
in the direction
shown by the
arrow; however, for variety, you may turn the pedal
discs 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 offthe highest
pedal first. Then, step offthe lower pedal.
