HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
Due to the size and weight of the elliptical
exerciser, moving it requires two persons. Stand in
front of the elliptical exerciser, hold the upright, and
place one foot against one of the front wheels. Pull on
the upright and have a second person lift the track
until the elliptical exerciser will roll on the front wheels.
Carefully move the elliptical exerciser to the desired
location, and then lower it to the floor.
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
If the elliptical exerciser rocks slightly on your floor
during use, turn one or all of the leveling feet beneath
the track until the rocking motion is eliminated.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
EXERCISER
To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the upper body
arms and step onto the pedal that is in the lower posi-
tion. Then, step onto the other pedal.
Push the pedals until they begin to move with a con-
tinuous motion. Note: The crank arm covers can
turn in either direction. It is recommended that
you turn the crank arm covers in the direction
shown by the arrow; however, for variety, you can
turn the crank arm covers in the opposite direc-
tion.
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 off the higher
pedal first. Then, step off the lower pedal.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers an array of features
designed to make your workouts more effective and
enjoyable. When you select the manual mode of the
console, you can change the resistance of the pedals
with the touch of a button. As you exercise, the con-
sole will provide continuous exercise feedback. You
can even measure your heart rate using the handgrip
pulse sensor.
The console also offers four preset workouts. Each
workout automatically changes the resistance of the
pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease your
pedaling pace as it guides you through an effective
workout.
In addition, the console features two heart rate work-
outs that change the resistance of the pedals to keep
your heart rate near target heart rate settings while
you exercise.
The console features the iFit Interactive Workout
System, which enables the console to accept iFit
cards containing workouts designed to help you
achieve specific fitness goals. For example, lose
unwanted pounds with the 8-week Weight oss work-
out. iFit workouts control the resistance of the pedals
while the voice of a personal trainer coaches you
through your workouts. iFit cards are available sepa-
rately. To purchase iFit cards, go to www.iFit.com
or see the front cover of this manual. iFit cards are
also available at select stores.
You can even connect your MP3 player or CD player
to the consoleʼs sound system and listen to your
favorite music or audio books while you exercise.
To use the manual mode, see page 15. To use a
preset workout, see page 17. To use a heart rate
workout, see page 18. To use an iFit workout, see
page 19. To use the sound system, see page 19.

the workout and the maximum resistance level will
appear in the display for a few seconds. A profile
of the resistance levels of the workout will also
scroll across the left side of the display.
3. Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Each workout is divided into 30 one-minute seg-
ments. One resistance level and one target pace
setting is programmed for each segment. Note:
The same resistance level and/or target pace set-
ting may be programmed for consecutive seg-
ments.
During the workout, the workout profile will show
your progress (see the drawing above). The flash-
ing segment of the profile represents the current
segment of the workout. The height of the flashing
segment indicates the resistance level for the cur-
rent segment. At the end of each segment of the
workout, a series of tones will sound and the next
segment of the profile will begin to flash. If a differ-
ent resistance level is programmed for the next
segment, the resistance level will appear in the
display for a few seconds to alert you. The resis-
tance of the pedals will then change.
During the workout, the target pacer coach will
prompt you to keep your pedaling pace near the
target pace setting for the current segment. When
a left indicator lights, increase your pace; when a
right indicator lights, decrease your pace. When
the center indicator lights, maintain your current
pace. IMPORTANT: The target pacer coach is
intended only to provide a goal. Make sure to
pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you.
If the resistance level for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override the
resistance level by pressing the Quick Resistance
buttons. However, when the current segment
ends, the resistance of the pedals will automatically
adjust to the resistance level for the next segment.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a series
of tones will sound and the workout will pause. To
restart the workout, simply resume pedaling. The
workout will continue until the last segment of the
workout ends.
4. Follow your progress with the displays.

segments of the workout. If you have selected
heart rate workout 2, press the increase and
decrease buttons above the Heart Rate buttons to
enter the desired maximum target heart rate set-
ting for the workout (see EXERCISE INTENSITY
on page 22).
4. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sen-
sor continuously during heart rate workouts; how-
ever, you should hold the handgrip pulse sensor
frequently for the workouts to operate properly.
Each time you hold the handgrip pulse sensor,
keep your hands on the metal contacts for at
least 30 seconds.
5. Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Heart rate workout 1 is divided into 40 one-
minute segments. Note: For a shorter workout,
stop exercising or select a different workout before
the workout ends.
Heart rate workout 2 is divided into 30 one-
minute segments. One target heart rate setting is
programmed for each segment. Note: The same
target heart rate setting may be programmed for
consecutive segments.
During the workout, the workout profile in the dis-
play will show your progress. The flashing seg-
ment of the profile represents the current segment
of the workout. The height of the flashing segment
indicates the target heart rate setting for the cur-
rent segment. At the end of each segment of the
workout, a series of tones will sound and the next
segment of the profile will begin to flash.
During both workouts, the console will regularly
compare your heart rate to the target heart rate
setting for the current segment of the workout. If
your heart rate is too far below or above the target
heart rate setting, the resistance of the pedals will
automatically increase or decrease to bring your
heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
Each time the resistance changes, the resistance
level will appear in the display for a few seconds
to alert you.

19
While you exercise, the target pacer coach will
prompt you to maintain a constant pedaling speed.
When a left indicator lights, increase your pace;
when a right indicator lights, decrease your pace.
When the center indicator lights, maintain your
current pace. IMPORTANT: The target pacer
coach is intended only to provide a goal. Make
sure to pedal at a pace that is comfortable for
you.
If the resistance level for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override the
resistance level by pressing the Quick Resistance
buttons. However, when the console compares
your heart rate to the target heart rate setting, the
resistance of the pedals may automatically
increase or decrease to bring your heart rate clos-
er to the target heart rate setting.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a series
of tones will sound and the workout will pause. To
restart the workout, simply resume pedaling. The
workout will continue until the last segment of the
workout ends.
6. Follow your progress with the displays.
See step 4 on page 15.
7. Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 16.
8. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
