IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

E98 ELLIPTICAL3
WARNING!
NEVER remove any cover without rst disconnecting AC power.
If voltage varies by ten percent (10%) or more, the performance of your elliptical may be
aected. Such conditions are not covered under your warranty. If you suspect the voltage is
low, contact your local power company or a licensed electrician for proper testing.
NEVER expose this elliptical to rain or moisture. This product is NOT designed for use outdoors,
near a pool or spa, or in any other high humidity environment. The operating temperature
specication is 40 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and humidity is 95% non-condensing
(no water drops forming on surfaces).
IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If the elliptical should malfunction or breakdown, ground-
ing provides a path of least resistance for electric current, reducing the risk of electric shock.
This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualied electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to
whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the
product if it will not t the outlet; have a proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 110-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like
the plug illustrated below. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated below
may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown below if a properly grounded
outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded
outlet, (shown below) can be installed by a qualied electrician. The green colored rigid ear-lug,
or the like, extending from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a
metal screw.

4E98 ELLIPTICAL
NEVER operate this elliptical without reading and completely understanding the results of
any operational change you request from the computer.
Understand that changes in resistance and incline do not occur immediately. Set your de-
sired resistance on the computer console and release the adjustment key. The computer will
obey the command gradually.
NEVER use your elliptical during an electrical storm. Surges may occur in your facility or
household power supply that could damage elliptical components. Unplug the elliptical
during an electrical storm as a precaution.
Use caution while participating in other activities while pedaling on your elliptical; such as
watching television, reading, etc. These distractions may result in serious injury.
Always hold on to a handrail or hand bar while making control changes (incline, resistance,
etc.).
Do not use excessive pressure on console control keys. They are precision set to function
properly with little nger pressure. Pushing harder is not going to make the unit go faster
or slower. If you feel the buttons are not functioning properly with normal pressure contact
your SOLE dealer.

CORRECTLY ALIGNED ORTHOPEDIC FOOT PADS
Through research performed with a leading sports scientist and physical rehabilitation expert;
SOLE engineering has developed a breakthrough in pedal design. No other elliptical, at any
price, oers this unique feature. The history of elliptical use over the past few years tells us that
many users suer from numb toes while working out on elliptical trainers. Many other users
complain of ankle, Achilles tendon, knee and/or hip pain. While researching a solution to these
common problems SOLE engineers consulted Richard DeKok, P.T., M.T.C., of St. Bernard’s
Industrial Rehabilitation Center in Jonesboro Arkansas. Together we identied the inherent
problem in elliptical designs and developed a solution to solve the problem. What we found is
that when you use an elliptical you tend to push outward during the power stroke and not just
straight back. This causes stress on the outer part of the foot and throws o the natural
alignment of the joints. Our solution was simple but eective:
 We added a 2-degree inward angle to the footpads. This might sound simple but what it
does is puts the users joints back into a neutral alignment. This eases the over stressing of
the ankles, knees and hips.
RAMP INCLINE ADJUSTMENT
The E98 has an incline feature that will further increase the variety of your workouts. When the
incline is at its lowest position you get a normal elliptical workout. As the incline increases you
will feel your knees rise higher with each step; which means you are
involving more muscle bers, due to the increased range of motion.
The E98 has a computer controlled power incline. The power incline is controlled by buttons
on the console and will automatically adjust via the incline motor during the built-in workout
program.

POWER UP
When power is connected to the Elliptical the console will automatically power up. These
models are connected directly to 115 VAC and there is a power switch located where the line cord plugs into the
unit on the left side near the front (See page 4 for location).
When it is rst powered on, the console will perform an internal self-test. During this time all the lights will turn on.
When the lights go o, the Message window will show a software version (i.e.: VER 1.0) and the Calorie window will
display an odometer reading. The odometer reading displays how many virtual miles the elliptical has gone. The
Time window displays how many hours the elliptical has been used.
The odometer and time will remain displayed for only a few seconds then the console will go to the startup display.
The dot matrix display will be scrolling through the dierent workout proles and the Message window will be
scrolling the start up message. You may now begin to use the console.
!!ATTENTION
Your new elliptical console might come congured in an in-store ‘display mode’ of operation, where the console will
remain powered on unless the main power switch is turned o. If this is the case, follow this procedure to turn it o:
To exit the display mode, for normal operation, press and hold the Stop, Enter and Display keys for ve seconds;
the display will show: Display Mode - ON. Use the Resistance Up key to change the setting to OFF then press
Enter

14E98 ELLIPTICAL
CONSOLE OPERATION
QUICK START
This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console
powers up you just press the Start key to begin, this will
initiate the Quick Start mode. In Quick Start the Time will
count up from zero and the workload and the resistance
and incline may be adjusted manually by pressing the Up
or Down buttons. The dot matrix display will be showing a
track with a blinking dot indicating your progress as it trav-
els around the track.
BASIC INFORMATION
The Message Window will initially be displaying the Speed in MPH. Each time the Display
Button - located left of the display - is pressed the next set of information will appear. The
information displayed will be: Speed in MPH, Ramp Incline, Watts, METs andSegment Time.
Pressing the Display Button one more time will set the display to Scan mode where all of the
information will be displayed sequentuially for 4 seconds each.

When in a program you may change the Dot Matrix prole (Resistance, Incline and Laps) view
by pressing the Enter button. After scrolling through the two proles and Laps the Dot Matrix
will automatically scroll through the three displays showing each for 4 seconds. The icon
associated with each display will light while that view is displayed.
The Stop button actually has several functions. Pressing the Stop key once during a program
will Pause the program for 5 minutes. If you need to get a drink, answer the phone or any of the
many things that could interrupt your workout, this is a great feature. To resume your workout
during Pause just press the Start key. If the Stop button is pressed twice during a workout the
program will end and a Workout Summary is displayed. If the Stop key is held down for 3
seconds the console will perform a complete Reset. During data entry for a program the Stop
key performs a Previous Screen function. This allows you to go back one step in the
programming each time you press the Stop key.
The Elliptical has a built in heart rate monitoring system. Simply grasping the Contact Heart
Rate Sensors on the stationary handle bars or wearing the chest strap transmitter (sold
separately) will start the heart (see Heart Rate Programs) Icon blinking (this may take a few
seconds). The Pulse Window will display your heart rate in beats per minute and the HR bar
graph will show your current % in relation to projected heart rate maximum. The chest strap is a
more accurate and reliable method of heart rate reading. The hand pulse sensors are subject to
false readings depending on user physiology and workout habits including how one grips the
sensors or how sweaty their hands are.

E98 ELLIPTICAL15
PROGRAMMING THE CONSOLE
Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to suit
your needs. Some of the information asked for is necessary to ensure the readouts are correct.
You will be asked for your Age and Weight. Entering your Age is necessary during the Heart
Rate control program to ensure the correct settings are entered in the program; entering your
exact Weight results in a more accurate Calorie calculation. Although we cannot provide an
exact calorie count we do want to be as close as possible.
A message about Calories: Calorie readings on every piece of exercise equipment, whether
it is in a gym or at home, are not accurate and tend to vary widely. They are meant only as a
guide to monitor your progress from workout to workout. The only way to measure your
calorie burn accurately as in a clinical setting connected to a host of machines. This is because
every person is dierent and burns calories at a dierent rate.
ENTERING A PROGRAM AND CHANGING SETTINGS
Press each program button to scroll through the program selections. The prole for each
program will be displayed in the dot matrix window. The E98 will show the incline prole also
when the Display key is pressed. Press the Enter key to select a program and begin
customizing the settings. If you want to workout without entering new settings, then just press
the Start key. This will bypass the programming of data and take you directly to the start of your
workout. If you want to change the personal settings, then just follow the instructions in the
message window. If you start a program without changing the settings, the default settings will
be used.
Note: Age and Weight default settings will change when you enter a new number. So the last
Age and Weight entered will be saved as the new default settings. If you enter Age and Weight
the rst time you use the Elliptical you will not have to enter it every time you work out unless
either Age or Weight has changed or someone else enters a dierent Age and Weight.

16E98 ELLIPTICAL
MANUAL PROGRAM
The Manual program works as the name implies, manually. This means that you control the
workload yourself and not the computer.
1. Press the Manual program button then press the Enter key.
2. The Message window will ask you to enter your Age. You may adjust the age
setting using the Incline or Resistance Up and Down keys, then press the Enter key to
accept the new number and proceed on to the next screen.
3. You are now asked to enter your Weight. You may adjust your weight setting using the
Incline or Resistance Up and Down keys, then press Enter to continue.
4. Next is the Time. You may adjust the length of Time by pressing the Up or Down Incline
or Resistance keys, then press Enter to continue..
5. Now you are nished editing the settings and can begin your workout by pressing the
Start key. You can also go back and modify your settings by pressing the Stop key to go
back one level of the programming screen.
6. Once the program starts the elliptical will be set to level one. This is the easiest level and it
is a good idea to stay at level one for a while to warm up. If you want to increase the work
load at any time press the Resistance Up key; the Resistance Down key will decrease the
workload.
7. During the Manual program you will be able to scroll through the data in the message
window by pressing the Display key.
8. When the program ends the message window will show a summary of your workout. The
summary will be displayed for a short time then the console will return to the start-up
display.
PROGRAMMABLE FEATURES

PRESET PROGRAMS
The Elliptical has ve dierent programs that have been designed for a variety of workouts.
These ve programs have factory preset work level proles for achieving dierent goals.

Hill
The Hill program simulates going up and down a hill. The resistance in the pedals will
steadily increase and then decrease during the program.
Fat Burn
The Fat Burn program is designed, as the name implies, to maximize the burning of fat. There are many schools
of thought on the best way to burn fat but most experts agree that a lower exertion level that stays at a steady
workload is the best. The absolute best way to burn fat is to keep your heart rate at around 60% to 70% of its
maximum potential. This program does not use heart rate but simulates a lower, steady exertion workout.
Cardio
The Cardio program is designed to increase your cardiovascular function and endurance. This is exercise for
your heart and lungs. It will build up your heart muscle and increase blood ow and lung capacity. This is
achieved by incorporating a higher level of exertion with slight uctuations in work.
Strength
The Strength program is designed to increase muscular strength in your lower body. This program will steadily
increase in resistance to a high level and forces you to sustain it. This is designed to strengthen and tone your
legs and glutes (muscles of the butt).
Interval
The Interval program takes you through high levels of intensity followed by periods of low intensity. This
program increases your endurance by depleting your oxygen level followed by periods of recovery to replenish
oxygen. Your cardiovascular system gets programmed to use oxygen more eciently this way. This program
also forces your body to become more ecient due to spikes in heart rate, between recovery periods. This aids
in heart rate recovery from intense activities.
