CONGRATULATIONS!
You’ve taken an important step in developing and sustaining an exercise pro-
gram! Your elliptical trainer is a tremendously effective tool for achieving your
personal fitness goals. Regular use of your elliptical trainer can improve the
quality of your life in so many ways.
Here are just a few of the health benefits of aerobic exercise:
•Weight Loss
•A Healthier Heart
•Improved Muscle Tone
•Increased Daily Energy Levels
•Reduced Stress
•Help In Countering Anxiety
and Depression
•An Improved Self Image
The key to reaping these benefits is to develop the exercise habit. Your new ellip-
tical trainer will help you eliminate the obstacles that prevent you from getting in
your exercise time. Inclement weather and darkness won't interfere with your
workout when you use your elliptical trainer in the comfort of your home. This
manual provides you with basic information for using and enjoying your new
machine. A more complete knowledge of your new elliptical trainer will assist you
in realizing your goal of a healthy lifestyle.
CAUTION: BEFORE BEGINNING ANY EXERCISE PROGRAM, ALWAYS CONSULT
YOUR PHYSICIAN. IF YOU EXPERIENCE CHEST PAINS, NAUSEA, DIZZINESS OR
SHORTNESS OF BREATH, STOP EXERCISING AND CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN
BEFORE CONTINUING.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE USE!
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION! There are several areas during the assembly process of a elliptical train-
er that special attention must be paid. It is very important to follow the assembly
instructions correctly and to make sure all parts are firmly tightened. If the assem-
bly instructions are not followed correctly, the elliptical trainer could have frame
parts that are not tightened and will seem loose and may cause irritating noises.
To prevent damage to the elliptical trainer, the assembly instructions must be
reviewed and corrective actions should be taken.

An important step in developing a long term fitness program is to determine
your goals. Is your primary goal for exercising on your Elliptical Trainer to lose
weight? Improve muscle? Burn Stress? Prepare for the spring racing schedule?
Knowing what your goals are will help you develop a more successful exercise
program. Below are some common exercise goals:
If possible try to define your personal goals in precise, measurable terms, and then
put your goals in writing. The more specific you can be, the easier it will be to track
your progress. If your goals are long term, divide them up into monthly and week-
ly segments. Longer term goals can lose some of the immediate motivation bene-
fits. Short term goals are easier to achieve. Your Elliptical Trainer console provides
you with several readouts that can be used to record your progress. You can track
Distance, Calories or Time. Time is the most important and useful of test func-
tions.
KEEPING AN EXERCISE DIARY
Photocopy the weekly and monthly log sheets on the following pages to make
your personal exercise log book. As time goes by you’ll be able to look back
with pride at the work you’ve done. As your fitness improves, you can look back
and see how far you’ve come.
-Weight Loss
-Improve Body Shape and Tone
-Increased Energy Level
-Improved Sports Performance
-Improved Cardiovascular Endurance
-Weight Maintenance
-Strengthen Leg Muscles
-Improved Sleep Patterns
-Stress Reduction

STRETCH FIRST
Before using your product, it is best to take a few minutes doing a few gen-
tle stretching exercises. Stretching prior to exercise will improve flexibility and
reduce chances of exercise related injury. Ease into each of these stretches with a
slow gentle motion. Do not stretch to the point of pain. Make sure not to bounce
while doing these stretches.
WALL PUSH
Stand near a wall with the toes of one foot about 18" from the wall, and the other
foot about 12" behind the other foot. Lean forward, pushing against the wall with
your palms. Keep your heels flat and hold this position for a count of 15 seconds.
Make sure that you do not bounce while stretching. Alternate positions of your
feet and repeat for a total of 8 repetitions.
STANDING QUADRICEPS STRETCH
Using a wall to provide balance, grasp your left ankle with your left hand and hold
your foot against the back of your thigh for a count of 15 seconds. Repeat with
your right ankle and hand, and continue alternating for a total of 8 repetitions.
SEATED TOE TOUCH
Sit on the floor with your legs together and straight out in front of you. Do not lock
your knees. Extend your fingers towards your toes and hold for a count of 15 sec-
onds. Make sure that you do not bounce while stretching. Sit upright again. Repeat
for a total of 8 repetitions.
DEVELOPING A FITNESS PROGRAM
WARM UP
The first 2 to 5 minutes of a workout should be devoted to warming up. The warm-
up will limber your muscles and prepare them for more strenuous exercise. Make
sure that you warm-up on your Sears product at a slow pace.
COOL DOWN
Never stop exercising suddenly! A cool-down period allows your heart to readjust
to the decreased demand. Make sure that your cool down period consists of a very
slow pace to allow your heart rate to lower. After the cool-down, repeat the
stretching exercises listed above to loosen and relax your muscles.
THE IMPORTANCE OF WARM UP AND COOL DOWN
sears MANUAL 340 v1.0.qxd 9/26/02 4:55 PM Page 7

724
POWER
The console is powered by 2 AA batteries, which are replaceable through the
back side of the console. Your elliptical itself, is powered by you.
LEVELING
The elliptical trainer should be level for optimum use. Once you have placed the
elliptical trainer where you intend to use it, raise or lower the adjustable levelers
located on the outside of each pedal arm. Once you have leveled the elliptical train-
er, lock the levelers in place by tightening the wing nuts against the frame.
GETTING STARTED
3 301340
HOW HARD?
How hard you workout is also determined by your goals. If you use your
Elliptical Trainer to prepare for a 5K run, you will probably work out at a higher
intensity than if your goal is general fitness. Regardless of your long term goals,
always begin an exercise program at low intensity. Aerobic exercise does not have
to be painful to be beneficial! There are two ways to measure your exercise inten-
sity. The first is by monitoring your heart rate (see page 27), and the second is by
evaluating your perceived exertion level (this is simpler than it sounds!). Note:
Always consult your physician before beginning an exercise program.
PERCEIVED EXERTION LEVEL
The second and simpler way to gauge your exercise intensity is to evaluate your
perceived exertion level. While exercising if you are too winded to maintain a con-
versation without gasping, you are working out too hard. A good rule of thumb is
to work to the point of exhilaration, not exhaustion. If you cannot catch your
breath, it’s time to slow down. Always be aware of other warning signs of overex-
ertion.
sears MANUAL 340 v1.0.qxd 9/26/02 4:55 PM Page 8

FOLDING YOUR ELLIPTICAL TRAINER
Note: It is important to always follow the correct order of steps when folding your
elliptical trainer.
STEP 1: The first step is to position the elliptical pedal arms in the proper posi-
tion. The pedal arms can be positioned in two different positions for convenience.
The first position is to rotate the left pedal arm so that it is in the backmost posi-
tion (the left pedal arm wheel should be positioned at the rear of the elliptical
trainer). The second position would be to rotate the right pedal arm in the back-
most position.
STEP 2: Carefully raise both the pedal arm (in the backmost position) and guide
rail simultaneously.
STEP 3: Press and hold the lock latch button located underneath the guide rail
end cap. Align the lock latch with the lock latch receiver located underneath the
pedal arm. Insert the lock latch receiver into the lock latch. Release the lock latch
button once the lock latch is secure.
STEP 4: Repeat process for alternate side.
Note: It is important to always follow the correct order of steps when unfolding
your elliptical trainer.
STEP 1: Firmly grasp both the left pedal arm and guide rail. Press and release
the lock latch receiver from the lock latch. Carefully lower the pedal arm and guide
rail, standing to the side to avoid any accidental release of the alternate pedal arm
and guide rail.
STEP 2: Repeat process for alternate side.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
WHAT KIND OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED?
We use sealed bearings throughout our ellipticals so lubrication is not needed.
The most important maintenance step is to simply wipe your perspiration off the
trainer after each use.
HOW DO I CLEAN MY ELLIPTICAL TRAINER?
Clean with soap and water cleaners only. Never use solvents on plastic parts.
Cleanliness of your elliptical trainer and its operating environment will keep main-
tenance problems and service calls to a minimum. For this reason, it is recom-
mends that the following preventive maintenance schedule be followed.
AFTER EACH USE (DAILY)
•Wipe down the elliptical trainer with a damp cloth. Never use solvents, as they
can cause damage to the elliptical.
EVERY WEEK
Clean underneath the elliptical, following these steps:
•Move the elliptical trainer to a remote location.
•Wipe or vacuum any dust particles or other objects that may have accumulated
underneath the elliptical.
•Return the elliptical trainer to its previous position.
EVERY MONTH
•Inspect all assembly bolts and pedals on the machine for proper tightness.
sears MANUAL 340 v1.0.qxd 9/26/02 4:55 PM Page 9

MOVING
Your elliptical trainer has a pair of transport wheels built into the front of the
frame. With the treadmill in the folded position and bracing one foot against the
front foot tube, carefully pull back on the console mast and roll the elliptical to
the desired position.
CAUTION! Our elliptical trainers are well built and heavy, weighing up to
200lbs.! Use care and additional help if necessary when moving.
FOOT POSITION
When using your elliptical trainer, you may notice that your heel raises off of the
foot pad. This is a natural walking or running motion and you should not try to
prevent this.

Always consult your physician before beginning an exercise program.
HOW OFTEN?
The American Heart Association recommends that you exercise at least 3 to 4 days
per week to maintain cardiovascular fitness. If you have other goals such as weight
or fat loss, you will achieve your goal faster with more frequent exercise. Whether
it’s 3 days or 6 days, remember that your ultimate goal should be to make exer-
cise a lifetime habit. Many people are successful staying with a fitness program if
they set aside a specific time of day to exercise. It doesn’t matter whether it’s in
the morning before your shower, during lunch hour or while watching the evening
news. What’s more important is that it’s a time that allows you to keep a sched-
ule, and a time when you won’t be interrupted. If you are to be successful with
your fitness program, you have to make it a priority in your life. So decide on a
time, pull out your day planner and pencil in your exercise times for the next
month!
HOW LONG?
For aerobic exercise benefits, it’s recommended that you exercise from between
24 and 32 minutes per session. But start slowly and gradually increase your exer-
cise times. If you’ve been sedentary during the past year, it may be a good idea to
keep your exercise times to as little as five minutes initially. Your body will need
time to adjust to the new activity. If your goal is weight loss, a longer exercise ses-
sion at lower intensities has been found to be most effective. A workout time of
48 minutes or more is recommended for best weight loss results.

ARE THE SOUNDS MY ELLIPTICAL TRAINER MAKES NORMAL?
Our elliptical trainers are some of the quietest available because they use belt
drives and friction free magnetic resistance. We use the highest grade bearings
and belts to minimize noise. However, because the resistance system itself is so
quiet, you will occasionally hear other slight mechanical noises. Unlike older, loud-
er technologies, there are no fans, friction belts, or alternator noises to mask these
sounds on our elliptical trainers. These mechanical noises, which may or may not
be intermittent, are normal and are caused by the transfer of significant amounts
of energy to a rapidly spinning flywheel. All bearings, belts and other rotating
parts will generate some noise which will transmit through the casing and frame.
It is also normal for these sounds to change slightly during a workout and over
time because of thermal expansion of the parts.
WHY IS THE ELLIPTICAL TRAINER I HAD DELIVERED LOUDER
THAN THE ONE AT THE STORE?
All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is gen-
erally more background noise than in your home. Also, there will be less rever-
beration on a carpeted concrete floor than on a wood overlay floor. Sometimes a
heavy rubber mat will help reduce reverberation through the floor. If a fitness
product is placed close to a wall, there will be more reflected noise.
HOW LONG WILL THE DRIVE BELT LAST?
The computer modeling we have done indicated virtually thousands of mainte-
nance free hours. Belts are now commonly used in far more demanding applica-
tions such as motorcycle drives.
CAN I MOVE THE TRAINER EASILY ONCE IT IS ASSEMBLED?
Your Elliptical Trainer has a pair of transport wheels built into the front legs. It is
easy to move your Elliptical Trainer by rolling it on the front transport wheels. It is
important that you place your Elliptical Trainer in a comfortable and inviting room.
Your Elliptical Trainer is designed to use minimal floor space. Many people will
place their Elliptical Trainers facing the TV or a picture window. If at all possible,
avoid putting your Elliptical Trainer in a unfinished basement. To make exercise a
desirable daily activity for you, the Elliptical Trainer should be in a attractive set-
ting.

HEART RATE
Place the palm of your hands directly on the heart rate contacts. Both hands must
grip the bars for your heart rate to register. When griping the , do not grip tight-
ly. Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure. Try to maintain
moderate pressure while holding onto the heart rate contacts. It is recommended
that you hold only long enough to see your heart rate readout on the console. You
may experience an erratic readout if consistently holding the contacts.
WARNING!
The heart rate function is not a medical device. Various factors may affect the
accuracy of your heart rate reading. The heart rate reading is intended only as an
exercise aid.

HEART RATE
Place the palm of your hands directly on the heart rate contacts. Both hands must
grip the bars for your heart rate to register. When griping the , do not grip tight-
ly. Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure. Try to maintain
moderate pressure while holding onto the heart rate contacts. It is recommended
that you hold only long enough to see your heart rate readout on the console. You
may experience an erratic readout if consistently holding the contacts.
WARNING!
The heart rate function is not a medical device. Various factors may affect the
accuracy of your heart rate reading. The heart rate reading is intended only as an
exercise aid.

monitor your heart rate during your
workout (displayed when contact is
made with both grips. Pulse can only
be viewed while on the pulse screen).
CALORIES
Shown as total accumulated calories burned dur-
ing your workout.
TARGET HEART RATE ZONE
Your ‘Target Heart Rate Zone’ is a percentage of your maximum heart rate. Target
Zones will vary for each individual, depending on age, current level of condition-
ing, and personal fitness goals. The American Heart Association recommends
working-out at a ‘Target Heart Rate Zone’ of between 60% and 75% of your maxi-
mum heart rate. See the chart below for convenient reference. EXAMPLE for a 42-
year old user: find AGE along the bottom of the chart (round to 40), follow AGE
column up to the TARGET ZONE BAR. RESULTS: 60% of maximum Hear Rate = 108
Beats Per Minute, 75% of maximum Heart Rate = 135 Beat Per Minute.

PROBLEM: Erratic or Inconsistent Readout.
SOLUTION: Check your exercise environment for sources of interference such
as high power lines, large motors, etc.
You may experience an erratic readout under the following conditions:
- Gripping the heart rate handlebars too tight. Try to maintain moderate pressure
while holding onto the heart rate handlebars.
- Constant movement and vibration due to constantly holding the heart rate grips
while exercising.
- When you are breathing heavily during a workout.
- When your hands are constricted by wearing a ring.
- When your hands are dry or cold. Try moistening your palms or rubbing them
together to warm.
- Anyone with heavy arrhythmia.
- Anyone with arteriosclerosis or peripheral circulation disorder.
- Anyone whose skin on the measuring palms is especially thick.
Note: Outside interference sources such as computers, motors and fluorescent
lights may cause the heart rate reading to be erratic.
If the above troubleshooting section does not remedy the problem,
discontinue use and turn the power off.
