2. Hold the Upright (6) in the position shown. Carefully
pull the Resistance Control Wire (48) and the Reed
Switch Wire (52) up through the Upright until there is
no slack between the Upright and the Frame (1).
Slide the Upright (6) onto the Frame (1). Be careful
to avoid pinching the Resistance Control Wire
(48) and the Reed Switch Wire (52). Tighten a 3/8Ó
Button Head Screw (65) and a 3/8Ó Lock Washer
(66) into the front of the Upright and the Frame.
Next, tighten two 3/8Ó Button Head Screws and 3/8Ó
Lock Washers into the sides of the Upright and the
Frame. Note: It may be necessary to loosen the front
Button Head Screw slightly in order to attach the
other two Button Head Screws. Firmly tighten all
three Button Head Screws.
1. Attach a Wheel Bracket (82) to the front of the Frame
(1) with a 3/8Ó Button Head Screw (65) and a 3/8Ó
Flange Nut (88). Attach a Wheel (83) to the Wheel
Bracket with a 3/8Ó x 1 3/4Ó Bolt (84) and a 3/8Ó
Nylon Locknut (85). Make sure that the Wheel turns
after you have tightened these parts. Attach the other
Wheel Bracket and Wheel to the Frame in the same
way.

DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE
The innovative console offers a manual mode and
three pacer programs. The pacer programs are
designed to help you achieve your exercise goals by
pacing your exercise. The console also features six
monitor modes that provide continuous exercise
feedback.
HOW THE PACER PROGRAMS OPERATE
When you use a
pacer program,
two columns of
bars will appear
in the display.
The left column
will show a target
pace, which is
determined by
the program you
have selected;
the right column will show your actual pace. The target
pace will change periodically during the program; as
the target pace changes, simply adjust your pace to
keep both columns at the same height. Important:
The target pace is a goal pace. Your actual pace
may be slower than the target pace, especially
during the first few months of your exercise pro-
gram. Be sure to exercise at a pace that is com-
fortable for you.
The three graphs on the console show how the target
pace will change during the pacer programs (see the
drawing at the left). Each graph is divided into ten
columns, and each column represents a two-minute
time period. The bars in each column show what the
target pace will be during that two-minute period. For
example, in the first column of graph 1, there is one
bar. This shows that during the first two minutes of
program 1, the target pace will be about 1.5 miles per
hour (see the scale at the left end of the graph). In the
second column, there are five bars. This shows that
during the second two-minute period, the target pace
will be almost 4.5 mph. Each pacer program is twenty
minutes long.
DESCRIPTION OF THE MONITOR MODES
The six monitor modes provide continuous exercise
feedback. The modes are described below.
¥ SpeedÑThis mode shows your pace, in miles per
hour.
¥ TimeÑIf you select one of the three pacer programs,
this mode will count down the time remaining in the
program. If you select the manual mode, this mode
will count up the length of time you have exercised.
Note: If you stop exercising for ten seconds or
longer, the time mode will pause.
¥ DistanceÑThis mode shows the distance you have
completed, in miles.
¥ Fat calories (FAT CALS)ÑThis mode shows the
approximate number of fat calories you have
burned. (See BURNING FAT on page 12 for an
explanation of fat calories.)
¥ Calories (CALS)ÑThis mode shows the approxi-
mate number of calories you have burned. (This
number includes both fat calories and carbohydrate
calories.)
¥ ScanÑThis mode displays the calories, fat calories,
speed, time, and distance modes, for five seconds
each, in a repeating cycle.
Note: If there is a thin sheet of clear plastic on
the face of the console, remove it.

STEP-BY-STEP CONSOLE OPERATION
Before the console can be operated, two ÒAAÓ bat-
teries must be installed. (See assembly step 3 on
page 6 for installation instructions.) Follow the steps
below to operate the console.
Turn on the power
To turn on the
power, press
the on/reset
button or sim-
ply begin
exercising on
the elliptical crosstrainer. When the power is
turned on, the entire display will appear for two
seconds. The console will then be ready for use.
Note: If batteries were just installed, the power will
already be on.
Select one of the three pacer programs or the
manual mode
To select one
of the pacer
programs,
repeatedly
press the
program
button. The
program
indicator will
show which program you have selected. To select
the manual mode, press the program button until
the program indicator disappears. The programs
will be selected in the following order: program 1,
program 2 , program 3, manual mode.
Begin your workout
If you select-
ed the manu-
al mode, go
to step 4. If
you selected
one of the
pacer pro-
grams, two
columns of
bars will
appear in the display. The left column will show
one bar, showing that the target pace is about
1.5 miles per hour. The right column will show
your actual pace. Adjust your pace until only one
bar appears in the right column. As the program
progresses, the target pace will change periodical-
ly; as the target pace changes, adjust your pace
to keep both columns at the same height.
Remember, the target pace is a goal pace.
Your actual pace may be slower than the tar-
get pace, especially during the first few
months of your exercise program. Be sure to
exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.
Follow your progress with the monitor modes
When the
power is
turned on,
the scan
mode will
automatically
be selected.
One mode
indicator will
show that
the scan mode is selected, and a flashing mode
indicator will show which mode is currently dis-
played. Note: If you select a different mode, you
can select the scan mode again by repeatedly
pressing the mode button.
If desired, you can select the speed, time, dis-
tance, fat calories, or calories mode for full-time
display. To select one of these modes, repeatedly
press the mode button. The mode indicators will
show which mode is selected. (Make sure that the
scan mode is not selected.)
If desired, the display can be reset by pressing
the on/reset button.
Turn off the power
To turn off the power, simply wait for about six
minutes. If the pedals are not moved and the
console buttons are not pressed for six
minutes, the power will turn off automatically.

HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE OF THE
PEDALS
To adjust the
intensity of your
exercise, the
resistance of
the pedals can
be adjusted. To
increase the
resistance, turn
the resistance
knob clockwise;
to decrease the
resistance, turn the knob counterclockwise.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
CROSSTRAINER
To mount the elliptical crosstrainer, hold the handle-
bars and step onto the pedal that is in the lowest
position (see the drawing at the right). Next, step onto
the other pedal. Center your feet on the pedals. Push
the pedals until they begin to move with a continuous
motion. Note: The crank arms beneath the hood
can turn in either direction; turn the crank arms in
the direction that is the most comfortable for you.
To dismount the elliptical crosstrainer, allow the ped-
als to slowly come to a stop. CAUTION: The ellipti-
cal crosstrainer does not have a freewheel; 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.
Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical crosstrain-
er regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately. To
prevent damage to the console, keep liquid away from
the console, keep the console out of direct sunlight,
and remove the batteries when storing the elliptical
crosstrainer.
The elliptical
crosstrainer can
be cleaned with
a soft, damp
cloth. Be sure
to keep the
frame clean
where the
pedal wheels
move.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the console does not function properly, the batteries
should be replaced. Refer to assembly steps 3 and 4
on pages 6 and 7. Remove the resistance knob,
remove the six screws attaching the console, and turn
the console over. Insert two new batteries into the
battery compartment. Make sure that the reed switch
wire is connected to the console. Reattach the con-
sole and the resistance knob.
