PLACEMENT IN YOUR HOME
Please follow the safety instructions to place the Suspension Elliptical™ Trainer
in the location where it will best be used. It is important that you place your
Suspension Elliptical™ Trainer in a comfortable and inviting room. Avoid
putting your Suspension Elliptical™ Trainer in an unfinished basement or
undesirable setting. Exercise adherence will be easier to achieve only if you
exercise in an attractive setting.
STABILIZING THE INCLINE
SUSPENSION ELLIPTICAL TRAINER
After positioning the Suspension
Elliptical™ Trainer in its intended
location, check the unit’s stability.
Rocking or wobbling indicates that
your Suspension Elliptical™ Trainer
needs to be leveled. Determine
which leveler is not resting
completely on the floor. Loosen the
nut at the base of the leveler to
allow the leveler to rotate. Now
rotate the leveler to the left or right
until the Suspension Elliptical™
Trainer is stable. Lock the
adjustment by tightening the nut
against the rear foot support.
TURNING THE UNIT ON AND OFF
Use the power switch on the front
of the unit to turn the machine ON
and OFF. It is recommended to turn
the machine off when not in use.
NOTE : You can also turn the power
off at the console.

CONTACT HEART RATE
HAND PULSE HEART RATE SENSORS
The Contact Hand Pulse Sensors
are included on each product to
monitor your heart rate. To use,
grasp both of the sensors with a
comfortable grip during your
workout. The console will display
your heart rate. It may take the
system a few seconds to zero in
on your actual heart rate. Most
people have a grip that is
conductive enough to transmit a
good signal. However, some
people have erratic heart rates or
improper body chemistry to
transmit a good signal through the
touch sensitive hand pulse grips.
