4. If the user experiences dizziness, nausea, chest pain, or any other abnormal symptoms,
STOP the workout at once. CONSULT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
5. Before use, remove all objects within a radius of 2 meters from the machine.
DO NOT place any sharp objects around the Orbitrek™ X2™.
6. Position the Orbitrek™ X2™ on a clear, level surface away from water and
moisture. Place mat under the unit to help keep the machine stable and to protect flooring.
7. Use the Orbitrek™ X2™ only for its intended use as described in this manual.
DO NOT use any other accessories not recommended by the manufacturer.
8. Assemble the machine exactly as directed in the instruction manual.
9. Check all bolts and other connections before using the machine for the first time and
ensure that the machine is in safe condition as outlined in this manual.
10. Hold a routine inspection of the equipment. Pay special attention to components which are
the most susceptible to wear and tear, i.e.connecting points and wheels. The defective

BEFORE you begin:
1. Locate a comfortable work site. Assemble your Orbitrek™ X2™ in an open space with
adequate ventilation and lighting. Because the Orbitrek™ X2™ is portable to some extent, you
do not need to assemble it exactly where it is to be used. For your convenience, however, you
should avoid hauling the machine across excessive distances, through narrow passage ways or
over staircases once assembly is complete.
2. It’s a good idea to flatten out the shipping carton, and use it as a work surface when you assemble
the Orbitrek™ X2™. Keep a few paper towels handy since some of the components are lightly
pre-greased.
Notice:
You will need the following tools to assemble the Orbitrek™ X2™.
Ruler with both metric and English measurements
Allen wrench (6#)
Single and multiple wrench
Before assembling, please check if all separate parts have been included. An exploded drawing with all
separate numbered parts is on page 15 of this manual.

Identify your hardware:
Organize your bolts and nuts before assembly. Nuts are identified by the diameter of the cavities.
For more information, refer to exploded view diagram and parts list on pages 15-17 of this manual.
The hardware you require for each assembly step is shown below:
Owner’s Manual

This is the stage where you put in the effort. After regular use, the muscles in your legs will become
more flexible. Work at your own pace and be sure to maintain a steady tempo throughout. Your work-
out rate should be sufficient to raise your heartbeat to the target zone shown on the graph below.
This stage should last for a minimum of 12 minutes
though most people start at about 15-20 minutes.
3. The Cool-Down Phase
This stage lets your cardiovascular system and muscles wind down. This is a repeat of the warm up
phase. First, reduce your tempo and continue at this slower pace for approximately 5 mintues before
you get off the machine. The stretching exercises should now be repeated, again remembering
not to force or jerk your muscles into the stretch.
As you get fitter, you may need to train longer and harder. It is advisable to train at least three times
a week, and if possible to space your workouts evenly throughout the week.
MUSCLE TONING
For optimum muscle toning, the resistance should be set on high.
This will put more strain on your leg muscles and may mean you cannot train for as long as you would
like. If you are also trying to improve your fitness, you may need to alter your training program.
You should train as normal during the warm up and cool down phases, but towards the end of the
exercise phase, you should increase the resistance, working your legs harder. You will have to
reduce your speed to keep your heart rate in the target zone.
WEIGHT LOSS
The important factor here is the amount of effort you put in. The harder and longer you work, the more
calories you will burn.

Place the Front Stabilizer
(No.23) against the Main Frame
and be sure the holes line up.
Take two of the Hex Socket Bolts
(No.43) and pass them through
the Tube Supports located on
the unit, tighten using the Allen
Wrench provided.
Place the Rear Stabilizer (No.10)
against the Main Frame and be
sure the holes line up. Take two
of the Carriage Bolts (No.9) and
pass them through the Tube
Supports located on the unit.
Slip the two Arc Washers (No.11)
over the threaded portions of
the two Carriage Bolts. Place the
two Domed Nuts (No.12) over
Arc Washers (No.11) and firmly
tighten down the Domed Nuts
(No.12) using the Multiple
Wrench provided.

Using your Orbitrek™ X2™ will provide you with several benefits. It will improve your physical fitness,
tone your muscles and in conjunction with a calorie controlled diet, help you lose weight.
1. The Warm-Up Phase
This stage helps get the blood flowing around the body and the muscles working properly. It will also
reduce the risk of cramp and muscle injury. It is advisable to do a few stretching exercises as shown
below. Each stretch should be held for approximately 30 seconds. Do not force or jerk your muscles
into a stretch. If it hurts, STOP.

STRETCHES
Grasp the handlebars, then switch the handlebars back
and forth in tandem to move along with the pedals,
to achieve the elliptical cycle movement.
Your Orbitrek™X2™ has reversable
movement. Forward pedalling emphasizes your
quadriceps muscle (front thighs), while backwards
pedalling emphasizes your hamstrings (back thighs).
Remember, if you want to change your movement
direction, stop movement first.
Start Position
Stand on the left side of the machine, grasp the handlebars (under the
handlebar end caps about 100mm), then stride your left leg, place your
left foot on the left pedal, then stride your right leg, place your right foot on
the right pedal, adjust your hands and stand pose to a comfortable position.

• Hold a detailed inspection of the equipment every 3 months. Pay special attention to components
which are the most susceptible to wear and tear, i.e. hinge bolt with roller, crank, connecting
points and wheels. Tighten loose bolts as needed. Any defective components should be replaced
immediately to maintain the safety level of this equipment.
• Make sure all bolts and nuts are tight prior to each workout
• After using the machine for a period of time, there might be some noise coming from the Sliding
Block (No.49) located below the Left and Right Pedals, see drawing below. You can add grease to
lubricate and minimize the noise.
• Roller (No.97) needs to be lubricated from time to time, also refer to the illustration below.
