Step 8: Adjusting the feet
The crosstrainer can be stabilised on un-even surfaces with the adjustable feet.
1. Lift up the crosstrainer on one side to gain access to the adjustable feet underneath the frame.

lead to technical errors occurring.
Firstly connect the power cord (117)
to the crosstrainer and then plug it
into the wall socket, making sure the
electrical prerequisites covered in the
chapter about electrical safety are met.
