Important Safety Instructions
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including 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 motion.
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 start up
display. The dot matrix display will be scrolling through the different profiles of the programs and the
Message Center will be scrolling the start 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 monitor your distance.
Pulse Grip Feature
The Pulse (Heart Rate) window will display your current heart rate in beats per minute during the
workout. You must use both stainless steel sensors on the stationary grips or the heart 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 Heart 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 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
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 start 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 heart rate monitoring system. Simply grasping the hand pulse
sensors on the stationary handle bars or wearing the heart rate transmitter (see Using Heart Rate
Transmitter section) will start the Heart Icon blinking (this may take a few seconds).The Pulse Display
Window will display your heart 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 Heart Rate programs to ensure the
correct predicted target heart rate zone. Entering your Weight aids 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 every 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 start of your workout.
If you want to change the personal settings then just follow the instructions in the Message Center. If
you start 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.
