all important precautions and instructions in this manual and all warnings on your elliptical before
using your elliptical. iFIT assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sus-
tained by or through the use of this product.
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the elliptical are adequately
informed of all precautions.
2. Keep children under age 16 and pets away
from the elliptical at all times.
3. Consult your health care provider before
beginning any exercise program. This is
especially important for persons over age

problems.
4. Consult your health care provider before
beginning or continuing any exercise pro-
gram during pregnancy. Use the elliptical
only as authorized by your health care
provider.
5. The elliptical is not intended for use by
persons with reduced physical, sensory, or

knowledge, unless they are given supervi-
sion or instruction about use of the elliptical
by someone responsible for their safety.
6. Use the elliptical only as described in this
manual.
7. The elliptical is intended for home use only.
Do not use the elliptical in a commercial,
rental, or institutional setting.
8. Keep the elliptical indoors, away from
moisture and dust. Do not put the elliptical in
a garage or covered patio, or near water.
9. Place the elliptical on a level surface, with at
least 3 ft. (0.9 m) of clearance in the front and
rear of the elliptical and 2 ft. (0.6 m) on each
side. To protect the floor or carpet from dam-
age, place a mat under the elliptical.
10. Inspect and properly tighten all parts each
time the elliptical is used. Replace any worn
parts immediately. Use only manufacturer-
supplied parts.
11. When connecting the power cord (see
page 17), plug the power cord into a
grounded circuit.
12. Do not modify the power cord or use an
adapter to connect the power cord to an
improper receptacle. Keep the power cord
away from heated surfaces. Do not use an
extension cord.
13. Do not operate the elliptical if the power cord
or plug is damaged, or if the elliptical is not
working properly.
14. DANGER: Always unplug the power
cord and switch the power switch to the off
position when the elliptical is not in use and
before cleaning the elliptical. Servicing other
than the procedures in this manual should
be performed by an authorized service repre-
sentative only.

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 (A) into
an appropriate
outlet (B) 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 (C) may
be used to con-
nect the power
cord to a 2-pole
receptacle (D)
as shown at the
right if a properly
grounded outlet is
not available.
The lug (E) or wire extending from the adapter must
be connected with a metal screw (F) 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
qualified electrician to determine whether the out-
let 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.
B
A
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. Take any necessary
measures to protect your floor. Stand in front of
the elliptical, hold the upright (A), and place one foot
against one of the wheels (B). Pull on the upright and
have a second person lift the handle (C) until the ellipti-
cal 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
(D) beneath
the rear sta-
bilizer or turn
the leveling
foot (E) under
the center
of the frame
until the rocking motion is eliminated.
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
(F) outward, move the
pedal to the desired
position, and then
release the pedal
handle into an adjust-
ment 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 handlebars (G) or the
upper body arms (H) and step onto the pedal (I) that is
in the lower position. Then, step onto the other pedal.
Push the pedals until they begin to move with a con-
tinuous motion. Note: The pedals can turn in either
direction. It is recommended that you turn the ped-
als in the direction shown by the arrow; however,
for variety, you can turn the pedals in the opposite
direction.
To dismount the elliptical, wait until the pedals (I) 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 station-
ary, step off the higher pedal first. Then, step off the
lower pedal.
THE OPTIONAL TABLET HOLDER
The optional tablet
holder (J) will hold
your tablet securely
in place and enable
you to use your tablet
while you exercise. The
optional tablet holder is
designed for use with
most full-size tablets.
To purchase a tablet
holder, please see
the front cover of this
manual.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers an array of features
designed to make your workouts more effective and
enjoyable.
The console features wireless technology that enables
the console to connect to iFIT. With iFIT, you can
access a large and varied workout library, create your
own workouts, track your workout results, and access
many other features.
In addition, the console offers a selection of featured
workouts. Each workout automatically controls the
resistance of the pedals and the incline of the ramp as
it guides you through an effective exercise session.
When you use the manual mode of the console, you
can change the resistance of the pedals and the incline
of the ramp with the touch of a button.
While you exercise, the console will display continuous
exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart
rate using a compatible heart rate monitor.
