covers in the direction shown by the arrow below;
however, for variety, you can turn the crank arm
covers in the opposite direction.
Handlebars
Pedals
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.

HOW TO ADJUST THE SELECTOR HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
The pedals on the elliptical exerciser move your feet in
a natural elliptical path. You can adjust the selectors
on the elliptical exerciser so that the pedals move in a
more vertical path or a more horizontal path.
To adjust the elliptical exerciser so that the pedals
move in a more vertical path, pivot the two selectors
to the high position; to adjust the elliptical exerciser so
that the pedals move in a more horizontal path, pivot
the selectors to the low position. IMPORTANT: Make
sure to adjust both selectors to the same position.
If the elliptical
exerciser rocks
slightly on your
floor during
use, turn one or
both of the lev-
eling feet
beneath the
base until the
rocking motion
is eliminated.
