HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
Due to the size and weight of the elliptical exercis-
er, moving it requires two persons. Stand in front of
the elliptical exerciser, hold the upright, and place one
foot against one of the front wheels. Pull on the
upright and have a second person lift the base until
the elliptical exerciser will roll on the front wheels.
Carefully move the elliptical exerciser to the desired
location, and then lower it to the floor.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
EXERCISER
To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the handlebars
and step onto the pedal 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 arm covers can turn in either direction.
It is recommended that you turn the crank arm
covers in the direction shown by the arrow below;
however, for variety, you can turn the crank arm
covers in the opposite direction.
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
The pedals on the elliptical exerciser move your feet in
anatural 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.
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
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.

resistance level and/or target rpm setting may be
programmed for consecutive segments.
During the workout, the workout profile will show
your progress (see the drawing above). The flash-
ing segment of the profile represents the current
segment of the workout. The height of the flashing
segment indicates the resistance level for the cur-
rent segment. At the end of each segment of the
workout, a series of tones will sound and the next
segment of the profile will begin to flash. If a differ-
ent resistance level is programmed for the next
segment, the resistance level will appear in the
display for a few seconds to alert you. The resis-
tance of the pedals will then change.
As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep
your pedaling pace near the target rpm setting for
the current segment. When the words PEDA
FASTER appear in the upper display, increase
your pace. When the words PEDA S OWER
appear, decrease your pace. When the words
PEDA ING IN RANGE appear, maintain your cur-
rent pace.
IMPORTANT: The target rpm settings are
intended only to provide motivation. Your actu-
al pace may be slower than the target rpm set-
tings. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is com-
fortable for you.

Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical exerciser
regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
To clean the elliptical exerciser, use a damp cloth and
a small amount of mild soap. IMPORTANT: To avoid
damage to the console, keep liquids away from
the console and keep the console out of direct
sunlight.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the console display becomes dim, the batteries
should be replaced; most console problems are the
result of low batteries. See assembly step 13 on page
11 for replacement instructions.
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
If the elliptical exerciser rocks slightly on your floor
during use, see HOW TO EVE THE E IPTICA
EXERCISER on page 14.
HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH
If the console does not display correct feedback, the
reed switch should be adjusted. To adjust the reed
switch, first remove the screws from the left and right
side shields; there are two sizes of screws in the
side shields—note which size of screw you remove
from each hole. Gently pull the side shields apart and
remove the convenience tray.
Next, see the drawing below and locate the Reed
Switch (50). oosen, but do not remove, the indicated
M4 x 16mm Self-tapping Screw (79). Slide the Reed
Switch slightly toward or away from a Magnet (55) on
the flywheel.
Then, retighten the Screw. Turn one of the Crank Arms
(36) for a moment. Repeat until the console displays
correct feedback. When the Reed Switch is correctly
adjusted, replace the convenience tray and reattach the
left and right side shields.
HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT
If the pedals slip while you are pedaling, even while
the resistance is adjusted to the highest setting, the
drive belt may need to be adjusted. To adjust the drive
belt, first remove the screws from the left and right
side shields; there are two sizes of screws in the
side shields—note which size of screw you remove
from each hole. Gently pull the side shields apart and
remove the convenience tray.
Next, locate the Idler Screw (68) and loosen it one half
turn. Step onto the elliptical exerciser and move the
pedals. If the pedals continue to slip, turn the Idler
Screw another half turn and test the pedals again.
Continue in this way until the pedals no longer slip.
Then, replace the convenience tray and reattach the
side shields.
