Important Safety Instructions
WARNING - Read all instructions before using this appliance.
DANGER - To reduce the risk of electric shock disconnect your elliptical from the electrical
outlet prior to cleaning and/or service work.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, install the
elliptical on a flat level surface with access to a 230-volt, 10-amp grounded outlet with only
the elliptical plugged into the circuit.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD UNLESS IT IS A 18AWG OR BETTER, WITH ONLY
ONE OUTLET ON THE END:
Do not operate elliptical on deeply padded, plush or shag carpet. Damage to both
carpet and elliptical may result.
Keep children away from the elliptical. There are obvious pinch points and other
caution areas that can cause harm.
Keep hands away from all moving parts.
Never operate the elliptical if it has a damaged cord or plug. If the elliptical is not
working properly, call your dealer.
Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
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.
Never drop or insert any object into any openings.
Do not use outdoors.
To disconnect, turn all controls to the off position, then remove the plug from the
outlet.
Do not attempt to use your elliptical 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 (sold separately) is a much more accurate method of heart
rate analysis. Various factors, including the user’s movement, may affect the
accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensors are intended only as exercise
aids in determining heart rate trends in general.
Wear proper shoes. High heels, dress shoes, sandals or bare feet are not suitable
for use on your elliptical. Quality athletic shoes are recommended to avoid leg
fatigue.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - THINK SAFETY!

Important Electrical Instructions
WARNING!
NEVER remove any cover without first disconnecting AC power. If voltage varies by ten
percent (10%) or more, the performance of your elliptical may be affected. 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 specification is 40 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and humidity is 95%
non-condensing (no water drops forming on surfaces).
Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded. If the elliptical should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding 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 qualified 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 fit the outlet; have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Important Operation Instructions
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 do not occur immediately. Set your desired
resistance level 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
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 cause you to lose
balance which may result in serious injury.
Do not use excessive pressure on console control keys. They are precision set to
function properly with little finger pressure.

Assembly Instructions
PRE-ASSEMBLY
1. Using a razor knife (Box Cutter), cut the banding straps that wrap around the carton.
Reach under the bottom edge of the carton and pull it away from the cardboard
underneath, separating the staples that join the two together. Lift the box over the unit
and unpack.
2. Carefully remove all parts from carton and inspect for any damage or missing parts. If
damaged parts are found, or parts are missing, contact your dealer immediately.
3. Locate the hardware package. The hardware is separated into four steps. Remove the
tools first. Remove the hardware for each step as needed to avoid confusion. The
numbers in the instructions that are in parenthesis (#) are the item number from the
assembly drawing for reference.
Assembly Tools

#155. 13/14mm Wrench (1 pc)
#158. 12/14mm Wrench (1 pc)

STEP 1: Incline Rail & Console Mast
1. Slide the Incline Rail Assembly (2) into the U channel of the Main Frame (1).Be very careful not
to damage the wires that exit each part.
2. Connect the Incline Rail Assembly (2) horizontally to the U channel of the Main Frame (1) with
two Hex Head Bolts (104), two Flat Washers (137), and two Nyloc Nuts (130). Secure it
vertically with four Hex Head Bolts (185), four Split Washers (151), four Flat Washers (142),
and four Star Washers (154).Tighten using the Wrenches provided (155 & 158).
3. Connect the Incline Motor wires (46 & 47) to the wiring harness & black wire that exits the
Incline Rail Assembly (2). Push the excess cable inside the U channel.
4. Locate the Console Mast (12) and Console Mast Cover (72); slide the Cover onto the mast as
far as it will go. Make sure the Console Mast Cover (72) is facing the correct way.
5. At the top opening of the Main Frame (1), there is a Hand Pulse Cable (53) tied to a twist tie
wire. Feed the twist tie wire and Hand Pulse Cables (53) into the bottom of the Console Mast
(12) and out of the opening at the top.
6. Install the Console Mast (12) into the receiving bracket on the top of the Main Frame (1). Be
extremely careful not to pinch the cables between the tubing. If the cable gets pinched, this
may affect the electrical functions of the console. NOTE: there is one bolt already installed in
the receiving bracket that will engage with the slot at the bottom of the Console Mast. This
needs to be tightened last, after the three other Console Mast bolts.
7. Place a Split Washer (152) onto the Hex Head Bolt (105) and hand tighten through the left side
of the Console Mast. Place a Curved Washer (153) onto each Hex Head Bolt (103) and thread
both into the front of the Console Mast tube. Fasten these front bolts as tight as possible with
the Wrench (155). Next firmly tighten the two left side bolts with the same wrench.
8. Connect the two Hand Pulse Cables (53), Resistance Cable (55), and Incline Cable (56) to the
back of the console (43). Do not force the connectors; they will only fit one way and are
different sizes to prevent confusion. Store the excessive cable in the Console Mast tube (12).
9. Attach the Console (43) to the bracket of the Console Mast tube with four Phillips Head Screws
(116).Tighten the screws with the Phillips Head Screw Driver (157).

STEP 2: Connecting & Lower Swing Arms
1. Slide two Wave Washers (150) onto each side of the Swing Arm Axle. Slide the Lower Swing
Arms (10 Left, 11 Right) onto the axles and secure with the two Hex Head Bolts (184) and Flat
Washers (141). Do not force the Swing Arms onto the axle. They should slide on, but you may
need to jiggle them to get them lined up properly. The Swing Arms have been previously
installed at the factor y so they do fit properly.
2. Remove the tie that holds the spacer in the rod end located at the end of the Right Connecting
Arm (9) and line up the rod end with the bracket at the bottom of the Lower Right Swing Arm
(11). Slide the Hex Head Bolt (186) through the bracket of the Lower Swing Arm and then
through the rod end and spacer. Install the Flat Washer (142) and Nyloc Nut (192) on the bolt
and tighten as much as possible. Repeat this step for the left side. Tighten using the Wrenches
(155 & 158).
