the following:
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
WARNING !
1. Read all instructions before using this appliance.
2. Do not operate elliptical trainer on deeply padded, plush or shag carpet. Damage to
both carpet and elliptical trainer may result.
3. Keep children away from the elliptical trainer. There are obvious pinch points and
other caution areas that can cause harm.
4. Keep hands away from all moving parts.
5. Never operate the elliptical trainer if any of the parts are damaged. If the elliptical
trainer is not working properly, call your dealer.
6. Do not operate where aerosol spray products are being used or where oxygen is
being administered. Sparks from the motor may ignite a highly gaseous
environment.
7. Never drop or insert any object into any openings.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not attempt to use your elliptical trainer for any purpose other than for the
purpose it is intended. The hand pulse sensors are not medical devices. Their
purpose is to provide you with an approximate measurement in relation to your
target heart rate. Use of a chest transmitter strap is a much more accurate
10.Method of heart rate analysis. Various factors, including the user’s movement, may
affect the curacy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensors are intended only as
exercise aids in determining heart rate trends in general.
11.Wear proper shoes. High heels, dress shoes, sandals or bare feet are not suitable
for use on your elliptical trainer. Quality athletic shoes are recommended to avoid
leg fatigue.

Getting on / off your elliptical
IMPORTANT
The elliptical comes with two Dual Action Handles and a Stationary Handlebar.
Always hold the Stationary Handlebar when getting on and off the elliptical.
First time users should familiarize themselves with using the elliptical by using the
Stationary Handlebar first and then progressing to the Dual Action Handles.
Once you have familiarized yourself with using the elliptical, you can progress to using
the Dual Action Handles to provide a total body workout. Hands can be positioned on the
Dual Action Handles at the most appropriate position for your height and arm length.
Caution should always be taken when getting on and off any exercise machine.
Please follow the safety steps below.
Ensure the left Foot Pedal is in the lowest position and grasp the
Stationary Handlebar with both hands.
Place your left foot on the left Foot Pedal and get secure.
Lift your right foot over machine and place on right Foot Pedal. Get
balanced and begin your workout.
Important
To get off, come to a complete stop and reverse the procedure.
Always wear rubber-soled shoes, such as tennis shoes.
It is recommended that you keep at least one hand on the Stationary Handlebar at
all times, especially when getting on or off. If you are performing a walking action
with your arms, or doing upper body strength training exercises, ensure you are
well balanced.
All equipment should be set-up and operated on solid, level surfaces.

13
Correct Position
Your body should be in an upright position so that your back
is straight. Keep your head up to minimize neck and upper
back strain.
Always try and use the elliptical in a rhythmical and smooth
motion. If you find yourself feeling uncomfortable, or
experience a surging type feeling, there is probably too much
tension.
The elliptical can be used in forward or reverse notion.
When going in reverse, bend your knees slightly more. More
emphasis is on the buttocks and hamstrings in the reverse
motion.
MOVING YOUR ELLIPTICAL
The elliptical can be easily moved from room to room.
1.Move to the front of the machine and ensure swing arms
are even (one foot pedal at top of Elliptical Disk and other
at bottom).
2.Grasp both Dual Action Handles together and pulling
back on handles, tip machine towards you.

14
Operation Of Your Console
GETTING FAMILIAR WITH THE CONTROL PANEL
Power
The console power is created by a built in generator. When you begin pedaling the Elliptical
trainer, the console will automatically power up. If there is no movement at the flywheel, the
console will go to stand-by mode. In stand-by mode the console display will turn off. To turn
the console on, begin pedaling.
When initially powered on the console will perform an internal self-test. During this time all the
lights will turn on. When the lights go off, the Message Center will show the software version
(i.e.:VER 1.0). The distance window shows the distance in miles or kilometers and the time
window shows the total hours of use.
The odometer will remain displayed for only a few seconds then the console will go to the star
t up display. The dot matrix display will be scrolling through the different profiles of the
programs and the Message Center will be scrolling the star t up message. You may now
begin to use the console.

Dot Matrix Center Display
Twenty columns of boxes (8 high) indicate each segment of a workout. The boxes only show
an approximate level (resistance) of effort. They do not necessarily indicate a specific value -
only an approximate percent to compare levels of intensity. In Manual Operation the
resistance dot matrix window will build a profile “picture” as values are changed during a
workout.
The resistance profiles will display half of the program at one time (9 columns).They will both
scroll right to left. The Lap track will move in a counterclockwise direction.
1/4 Mile/ 0.4k Track
The 1/4-mile track (one lap) will be displayed around the dot matrix window. The flashing
segment indicates your progress. Once the 1/4-mile (Metric - 0.4k) is complete this feature
will begin again. There is a lap counter in the message window for monitoring your distance.
Pulse Grip Feature
The Pulse (Hear t Rate) window will display your current hear t rate in beats per minute
during the workout. You must use both stainless steel sensors on the stationary grips or the
hear t rate transmitter chest strap to display your pulse. Pulse value displays anytime on the
upper display when receiving a Pulse signal. You may not use the Grip Pulse feature while in
Hear t Rate Programs.
Note: Refer to Important Safety Instructions (page 3) concerning Pulse Grip operation.
Calorie Display
Displays the cumulative calories burned at any given time during your workout. Note: This is
only a rough guide used for comparison of different exercise sessions, which cannot be used
for medical purposes.
Speakers
The console has built-in Speakers. You may plug an Audio Source (CD player, MP3,
Computer, etc.) into the Jack on the console. There is no volume control on the console. The
volume must be controlled on the Audio Source.

16
MUSCLE ACTIVATION FIGURE
There is an anatomical figure located at the top of the console. This figure will light all areas
that are activated when using the elliptical trainer. These will light up during any of the
programs. You can control which muscles are activated by customizing the resistance profile
during the set up phase of console programming. If you accept the default program profile,
the selected program will determine which muscles will be activated by automatically
adjusting the resistance. Generally the following guidelines hold true:
The upper body LED’s will not light
• The lower body lights will activate in three degrees of
engagement: Green represents minimal muscle
involvement, yellow represents medium involvement, and
red represents full or heavy activation.
• These are the different scenarios for lower body muscle
activation:
• Levels 1-20: Green – Hamstrings & Gluteals light up;
Yellow – Quadriceps & Calves light up
• Levels 21-40:Yellow – Hamstrings & Gluteals light up;
Red – Quadriceps & Calves light up
Heart Rate % Profile
The console LCD screen will display your current heart rate anytime a
pulse is detected. The Bar Graph, located to the right of the LCD
screen, will show your current heart rate % in relation to your
projected maximum heart rate, which is determined by your age that
you entered during the programming phase of any of the 10 programs.
The significance of the bar graph colors are as follows:
• 50-60% of maximum is Amber
• 65-80% of maximum is Amber and Green
• 85-90% or more is Amber, Green, and Red

17
Quick Start
This is the quickest way to star t a workout. After the console powers
up you just press the Start key to begin, this will initiate the Quick Star
t mode. In Quick Star t the Time will count up from zero and the
workload may be adjusted manually by pressing the Level Up/Down
keys. The dot matrix display will have only the bottom row lit at first.
As you increase the work load more rows will light indicating a harder
workout. The elliptical trainer will get harder to pedal as the rows increase.
There are 40 levels of resistance available for plenty of variety. The first 10 levels are very
easy workloads and the changes between levels are set to a good progression for
de-conditioned users. Levels 6-10 are more challenging, but the increases in resistance from
one level to the next remain small. Levels 11-15 star t getting tough as the levels jump more
dramatically. Levels 30-40 are extremely difficult and are good for short interval peaks and
elite athletic training.
Basic Information
The Message Center will initially be displaying the Program name.
When in scan mode during a program, speed will be displayed for
four seconds, then move on and display Watts (indication of
workload).
If 100 watts is displayed, you are doing enough work to keep a
100-watt light bulb lit. The data changes to Laps completed,
Segment time, Max level. Pressing the Enter key again will bring
you back to the beginning.
The Stop key 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 key is pressed twice during a
workout, the program will end and the console will display your Workout Summary (Total time,
Avg. Speed, Avg. Watts, Avg. HR, total Laps). If the Stop key is held down for 3 seconds or a
third time during the program, the console will perform a complete Reset. During data entry
for a program the Stop key performs a previous screen or segment function. This allows you
to go back to change programming data.

18
Program Keys
The program keys are used to preview each program. When you first turn the console on you
may press each program key to preview what the program profile looks like. If you decide that
you want to try a program, press the corresponding program key and then press the Enter
key to select the program and enter into the data-setting mode.
The elliptical trainer has a built in hear t rate monitoring system. Simply grasping the hand
pulse sensors on the stationary handle bars or wearing the hear t rate transmitter (see Using
Hear t Rate Transmitter section) will star t the Hear t Icon blinking (this may take a few
seconds).The Pulse Display Window will display your hear t rate, or Pulse in beats per
minute.
The console includes a built-in fan to help keep you cool. To turn the fan on, press the key on
the left side of the console.
Programming The Console
Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to suit
your needs. Some of the information is necessary to ensure the readouts are correct. You will
be asked for your Age and Weight. Entering your Age is necessary during the Hear t Rate
programs to ensure the correct predicted target hear t rate zone. Entering your Weight aides
in calculating a more correct Calorie reading. Although we cannot provide an exact calorie
count, we do want to be as close as possible.
CALORIE NOTE: Calorie readings on ever y piece of exercise equipment, whether it is in a
gym or at home, are only an estimate and tend to vary widely. They are meant only as a guide
to monitor your progress from workout to workout.
Entering A Program And Changing Settings
When you enter a program, by pressing a program key, then Enter key, you have the option of
entering your own personal 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 star t of your workout.
If you want to change the personal settings then just follow the instructions in the Message
Center. If you star t a program without changing the settings, the default or saved 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 your Age and Weight the first time you use the
elliptical trainer, you will not have to enter it ever y time you work out unless either your Age or Weight changes,
or someone else enters a different Age and Weight.

Calorie Program
1. Press the Calorie key. Press Enter to select the program. The display will prompt you
through the programming.
2. If Enter was pressed, the Message Center will now be blinking a value, indicating
your Age (default is 35). Entering your correct age affects the heart rate Bar Graph
Display and the Heart Rate programs. Use the Level Up/Down keys to adjust, then
press Enter. Your age determines your recommended maximum heart rate. Since the
Bar Graph Display and the Heart Rate program features are based on a percentage
of your maximum heart rate, it is important to enter the correct age for these features
to work properly.
3. The Message Center will now be blinking a value, indicating your Body Weight
(default is100). Entering the correct body weight will affect the calorie count. Use the
Level Up/Down keys to adjust, then press Enter.
A note about the Calorie display: No exercise machine can give you an exact calorie
count because there are too many factors which determine exact calorie burn for a
particular person. Even if someone is the exact same body weight, age and height,
their calorie burn may be very different than yours. The Calorie display is to be used
as a reference only to monitor improvement from workout to workout.
4. The Message Center displays “Use Level Up or Down keys to adjust Calorie burn”
(default is 300) After adjusting, press Enter.
5. The Message Center will now be blinking the preset Avg. pedal RPM (revolutions per
minute) (default is 50); After adjusting press Enter.
6. The Message Center will now be blinking the preset top resistance of the selected
program (default is Level 5). Use the Level Up/Down keys to adjust, then press
Enter. Each program has various resistance changes throughout; this allows you to
limit the highest resistance the program can reach.
7. The Message Center displays the Program Time (a value that was determined by the
data you entered in steps 3-6); Press Start to accept the calculated Time or the Enter
key to return to steps 4-6 and change the data, which will recalculate the Program
Time.
When the Start key is pressed, the program begins with a 3:00 warm up (1:00 @ Level
1, 1:00 @ Level 2, and 1:00 @ Level 3) or you have the option of pressing the Enter key
again to bypass and begin the workout.
When the program begins both the Calorie and Time windows will count down to 0. If
the Time expires before calories burned reaches 0, the Time window will begin
accumulated time, until Calories reach 0.
After the program has ended, there will be a 3:00 cool down (1:00 @ Level 3, 1:00 @
Level 2, and 1:00 @ Level 1) or you have the option of pressing the Enter key to end the
workout.
