WARNING:To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precau-
tions before using the elliptical exerciser.
1. Read all instructions in this manual and all
warnings on the elliptical exerciser before
using the elliptical exerciser. Use the ellipti-
cal exerciser only as described in this
manual.
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the elliptical exerciser are
adequately informed of all precautions.
3. The elliptical exerciser is intended for
home use only. Do not use the elliptical
exerciser in a commercial, rental, or institu-
tional setting.
4. Keep the elliptical exerciser indoors, away
from moisture and dust. Place the elliptical
exerciser on a level surface, with a mat
beneath it to protect the floor or carpet.
Make sure that there is enough clearance
around the elliptical exerciser to mount, dis-
mount, and use it.

included allen wrenches, assembly requires a phillips screwdriver , an adjustable
wrench , and a rubber mallet .
As you assemble the elliptical exerciser, use the drawings below to identify small parts. The number in parentheses
below each drawing is the key number of the part, from the PART LIST on page 17. The number following the
parentheses is the quantity needed for assembly. Note: Some small parts may have been preassembled. If a
part is not in the parts bag, check to see if it has been preassembled.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
EXERCISER
To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the handgrip
pulse sensor and step onto the pedal that is in the low-
est position. Next, 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 move 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 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 highest
pedal first. Then, step offthe lowest pedal.
HOW TO USE THE HANDLEBARS
The handlebars are
designed to add
upper-body exer-
cise to your work-
outs. Push and pull
the handlebars as
you exercise to
work your arms,
shoulders, and
back.
To exercise only your lower body, hold the handgrip
pulse sensor as you exercise.
HOW TO ADJUST THE STRIDE OF THE ELLIPTICAL
EXERCISER
To adjust the stride of the elliptical exerciser, first pull
one of the adjustment knobs until the adjustment
bracket can be pivoted freely. Then, pivot the adjust-
ment bracket until the adjustment knob is aligned with
either of the two holes in the crank arm, and gently
release the knob. Pivot the adjustment bracket back
and forth slightly to make sure that the adjustment pin
is engaged in one of the holes. Adjust the other side of
the elliptical exerciser in the same way.
