HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
This product must be grounded. If it should mal-
function or break down, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk
of electric shock. The power cord has a plug with a
grounding pin.
Plug the power
cord into an
appropriate
outlet that
is properly
installed and
grounded in
accordance with
all local codes
and ordinances.
The outlet must
be on a nominal 120-volt circuit.
A temporary
adapter may be
used to con-
nect the power
cord to a 2-pole
receptacle as
shown at the
right if a prop-
erly grounded
outlet is not
available.
The lug or wire extending from the adapter must
be connected with a metal screw to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box covers are not
grounded. Before using an adapter, contact a quali-
fied electrician to determine whether the outlet
box cover is grounded before using an adapter.
The temporary adapter should be used only until
a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL
DANGER: Improper connection of
the power cord increases the risk of electric
shock. Do not modify the plug; if it will not fit
an outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician. If you are unsure whether
the product is properly grounded, contact a
qualified electrician.

HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL
Due to the size and weight of the elliptical, moving
it requires two persons. Stand in front of the elliptical,
hold the upright (A), and place one foot against one of
the wheels (B). Have a second person lift the handle
(C) on the rear of the frame until the elliptical will roll on
the wheels. Carefully move the elliptical to the desired
location, and then lower it to the floor.
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL
If the elliptical rocks slightly on your floor during use,
turn one or both of the leveling feet beneath the rear
stabilizer or beneath the frame (D, E) until the rocking
motion is eliminated.
HOW TO USE THE TABLET HOLDER
IMPORTANT: The tablet holder is designed for use
with most full-size tablets. Do not place any other
electronic device or object in the tablet holder.
To insert a tablet
into the tablet
holder (F), set
the bottom edge
of the tablet in
the tray. Then,
pull the clip over
the top edge of
the tablet. Make
sure that the
tablet is firmly
secured in the tablet holder. Rotate the tablet holder
to the desired angle. Reverse these actions to remove
the tablet from the tablet holder.

HOW TO ADJUST THE POSITIONS OF THE
PEDALS
Each pedal can be adjusted to several positions. To
adjust each pedal, simply pull the pedal handle (G)
outward, move the pedal to the desired position, and
then release the pedal handle into an adjustment hole
beneath the pedal. Make sure to adjust both pedals
to the same position.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
To mount the elliptical, hold the upper body arms (H)
or the handlebars (I) and step onto the pedal (J) that
is in the lower position. Then, step onto the other
pedal. Push the pedals until they begin to move with
a continuous motion. Note: The crank arms (K) can
turn in either direction. It is recommended that you
turn the crank arms in the direction shown by the
arrow; however, for variety, you can turn the crank
arms in the opposite direction.
To dismount the elliptical, wait until the pedals come to
a complete stop. Note: The elliptical 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.
