HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL
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 front wheels (B). Pull on the upright and have a
second person lift the rear stabilizer (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
stabilizer until the
rocking motion is
eliminated.

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
To mount the elliptical, hold the handlebars (E) or the
upper body arms (F) and step onto the pedal (G) that is
in the lowest position. Then, step onto the other pedal.
Push the pedals (G) until they begin to move with a
continuous motion. Note: The pedal discs can turn
in either direction. It is recommended that you
move the pedal discs in the direction shown by the
arrow; however, for variety, you can turn the pedal
discs in the opposite direction.
To dismount the elliptical, wait until the pedals (G)
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 highest pedal first. Then, step
off the lowest pedal.

Each workout is divided into one-minute segments.
One resistance level and one target speed are
programmed for each segment. Note: The same
resistance level and/or target speed may be pro-
grammed for consecutive segments.
At the end of each segment of the workout, a
series of tones will sound. The resistance level for
the next segment will appear in the upper display
for a few seconds to alert you. The resistance of
the pedals will then change.
The speed meter will
show two flashing bars
that represent the target
speed zone (B) for the
segment; the target
speed zone includes a
range of speeds that are
within a few RPMs of the target speed for the seg-
ment. The solid bars represent your actual pedaling
speed.
As you exercise, keep your pedaling speed
within the target zone for the current segment by
increasing or decreasing your pedaling speed or
by increasing or decreasing the resistance of the
pedals.
IMPORTANT: The target speed is intended only
