use of this product.
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the trainer are adequately
informed of all precautions.
2. Before beginning any exercise program,
consult your physician. This is especially
important for persons over age 35 or per-
sons with pre-existing health problems.
3. The trainer is not intended for use by per-
sons with reduced physical, sensory, or
mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they are given supervi-
sion or instruction about use of the trainer
by someone responsible for their safety.
4. Use the trainer only as described in this
manual.
5. The trainer is intended for home use only. Do
not use the trainer in a commercial, rental, or
institutional setting.
6. Keep the trainer indoors, away from moisture
and dust. Do not put the trainer in a garage
or covered patio, or near water.
7. Place the trainer on a level surface, with at
least 3 ft. (0.9 m) of clearance in the front and
rear of the trainer and 2 ft. (0.6 m) on each
side. To protect the floor or carpet from dam-
age, place a mat under the trainer.
8. Inspect and properly tighten all parts each
time the trainer is used. Replace any worn
parts immediately.
9. Keep children under age 16 and pets away
from the trainer at all times.

caught on the trainer. Always wear athletic
shoes for foot protection while exercising.
12. Hold the handlebars or the upper body arms
when mounting, dismounting, or using the
trainer.
13. The heart rate monitor is not a medical
device. Various factors may affect the accu-
racy of heart rate readings. The heart rate
monitor is intended only as an exercise aid
in determining heart rate trends in general.
14. The trainer does not have a freewheel; the
pedals will continue to move until the fly-
wheel stops. Reduce your pedaling speed in
a controlled way.
15. Keep your back straight while using the
trainer; do not arch your back.
16. Over exercising may result in serious injury
or death. If you feel faint, if you become short
of breath, or if you experience pain while
exercising, stop immediately and cool down.

HOW TO USE THE TRAINER
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER ADAPTER
IMPORTANT: If the trainer has been exposed to
cold temperatures, allow it to warm to room tem-
perature before you plug in the power adapter. If
you do not do this, you may damage the console
displays or other electronic components.
Plug the power adapter
(A) into the recep-
tacle on the front of the
trainer. Then, plug the
power adapter into an
appropriate outlet that
is properly installed
in accordance with
all local codes and
ordinances.
HOW TO MOVE THE TRAINER
Due to the size and weight of the trainer, moving
it requires two persons. Stand in front of the trainer,
hold the upright (B), and place one foot against one of
the wheels (C). Have a second person help you pull
on the upright until the trainer will roll on the wheels.
Carefully move the trainer to the desired location, and
then lower it to the floor.

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE TRAINER
To mount the trainer, hold the handlebars (D) or the
pulse grips (E) and step onto the pedal (F) 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 pedals can turn in either direc-
tion. It is recommended that you turn the pedals
in the direction shown by the arrow; however, for
variety, you can turn the pedals in the opposite
direction.
To dismount the trainer, wait until the pedals (F) come
to a complete stop. Note: The trainer 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 LEVEL THE TRAINER
If the trainer
rocks slightly on
your floor during
use, turn one
or both of the
leveling feet (G)
beneath the sta-
bilizer until the
rocking motion
is eliminated.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
IMPORTANT: To activate your console and begin
using its exclusive features, see assembly step 20
on page 15.
The advanced console offers an array of features
designed to make your workouts more effective and
enjoyable.
When you use the manual mode of the console, you
can change the resistance of the pedals with the touch
of a button.
As you exercise, the console will provide continu-
ous exercise feedback. You can even measure your
heart rate using the handgrip heart rate monitor or
a compatible heart rate monitor. See page 22 for
information about purchasing an optional chest
heart rate monitor.
You can also connect your tablet to the console and
use the iFit®–Smart Cardio Equipment app to record
and track your workout information.
The console also offers a selection of onboard work-
outs. Each onboard workout automatically changes the
resistance of the pedals and prompts you to maintain
a target pedaling speed as it guides you through an
effective workout.
You can even listen to your favorite workout music or
audio books with the console sound system while you
exercise.
To use the manual mode, see page 19. To use an
onboard workout, see page 21. To use the sound
system, see page 22. To connect your tablet to
the console, see page 23. To connect your heart
rate monitor to the console, see page 22. To
change console settings, see page 24.
Note: If there is a sheet of plastic on the display,
remove the plastic.
Note: The console can display speed and distance
in either standard or metric units. To change the unit
of measurement, press the St/M button repeatedly.
For simplicity, all instructions in this section refer to
standard units.

Note: The console is compatible with Bluetooth®
Smart heart rate monitors.
Note: If you use both heart rate monitors at
the same time, the Bluetooth Smart heart rate
monitor will have priority.
If there are
sheets of plas-
tic on the metal
contacts (E)
on the hand-
grip heart rate
monitor, remove
the plastic. To
measure your
heart rate, hold
the handgrip
heart rate monitor
with your palms resting against the contacts. Avoid
moving your hands or gripping the contacts tightly.
