HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
This product must be grounded. If it should mal-
function or break down, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk
of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. Plug the power cord into an appro-
priate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. This product is for use on a nominal
120-volt circuit. IMPORTANT: The elliptical exer-
ciser is not compatible with GFCI-equipped out-
lets.
A temporary
adapter may
be used to
connect the
power cord to
a 2-pole
receptacle as
shown at the
right if a prop-
erly grounded
outlet is not
available. The temporary adapter should be used only
until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in
place by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle out-
let box covers are not grounded. Contact a quali-
fied electrician to determine if the outlet box cover
is grounded before using an adapter.
HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
Due to the size and weight of the elliptical exer-
ciser, moving it requires two persons. Stand in
front of the elliptical exerciser, hold the upright, and
place one foot against one of the front wheels. Pull on
the upright and have a second person lift the handle
on the rear of the frame until the elliptical exerciser will
roll on the front wheels. Carefully move the elliptical
exerciser to the desired location, and then lower it to
the floor.
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
If the elliptical exerciser rocks slightly on your floor
during use, turn one or both of the leveling feet
beneath the rear stabilizer until the rocking motion is
eliminated.
DANGER: Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service-
man 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.

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
EXERCISER
To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the handlebars
and step onto the pedal that is in the lowest position.
Next, step onto the other pedal. Push the pedals until
they begin to move with a continuous motion.
Note: The crank arms can turn in either direction.
It is recommended that you turn the crank arms in
the direction shown by the arrow at the right;
however, for variety you can turn the crank arms
in the opposite direction.
To dismount the elliptical exerciser, wait until the ped-
als come to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical
exerciser does not have a free wheel; the pedals
will continue to move until the flywheel stops.
When the pedals are stationary, step off the higher
pedal first. Then, step off the lower pedal.

aling to turn on the console.
When you turn on the console, the display will
light. A tone will then sound and the console will
be ready for use.
2. Select a custom workout.
To select a custom workout, press the CUSTOM 1
or the CUSTOM 2 button. When you select a cus-
tom workout, the words CUSTOM 1 or CUSTOM 2
will appear in the display for a few seconds and a
profile of the resistance levels of the workout will
scroll across the matrix.
3. Begin pedaling to start the workout, and
program the desired settings.
Each custom workout is divided into 40 one-
minute segments. You can program one resistance
level and one target pace setting for each seg-
ment.
To program a resistance level for the first segment,
simply adjust the resistance of the pedals by
pressing the Resistance buttons. To program a tar-
get pace for the first segment, simply pedal at the
desired pace.
At the end of the first segment, the workout will
store the current resistance level and your current
pace in memory. Program a resistance level and a
target pace for the second segment as described
above.
Continue exercising for up to forty minutes. Stop
pedaling when you are finished with your workout.
The workout you created will then be stored in
memory. Note: If your workout is less than forty
minutes long, any remaining segments in the
workout will be stored with the default resistance
level and target pace.
4. When the workout is finished, the console will
turn off automatically.
See step 7 on page 14.

HOW TO USE A CUSTOM WORKOUT
1. Press any button on the console or begin ped-
aling to turn on the console.
When you turn on the console, the display will
light. A tone will then sound and the console will
be ready for use.
2. Select a custom workout.
To select a custom workout, press the CUSTOM 1
or the CUSTOM 2 button. When you select a cus-
tom workout, the words CUSTOM 1 or CUSTOM 2
will appear in the display for a few seconds and a
profile of the resistance levels of the workout will
scroll across the matrix. Note: If only the first
row of indicators in the matrix is lit, see HOW
TO CREATE A CUSTOM WORKOUT on page
18.
3. Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Each custom workout can have up to 40 one-
minute segments. One resistance level and one
target pace setting are programmed for each seg-
ment. Note: The same resistance level and/or tar-
get pace setting may be programmed for consecu-
tive segments.
During the workout, the workout profile will show
your progress. The flashing segment of the profile
(see the drawing above) represents the current
segment of the workout. The height of the flashing
segment indicates the resistance level for the cur-
rent segment. At the end of each segment of the
workout, a series of tones will sound and the next
segment of the profile will begin to flash. If a differ-
ent resistance level is programmed for the next
segment, the resistance level will appear in the
display for a few seconds to alert you. The resis-
tance of the pedals will then change.
As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep
your pedaling pace near the target pace setting for
the current segment. When the words PEDAL
FASTER appear in the display, increase your
pace. When the words PEDAL SLOWER appear,
decrease your pace. When no words appear,
maintain your current pace. IMPORTANT: The
target pace settings are intended only to pro-
vide motivation. Make sure to pedal at a pace
that is comfortable for you.
If the resistance level for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override the
setting by pressing the Resistance buttons.
owever, when the current segment ends, the
pedals will automatically adjust to the resistance
level for the next segment.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a series
of tones will sound and the workout will pause. To
restart the workout, simply resume pedaling. The
workout will continue until the last segment of the
profile flashes and the last segment of the workout
ends.
4. Change the workout if desired.
If desired, you can change the workout while
using it. To change the resistance level for the
current segment, simply press the Resistance
buttons. At the end of the current segment, the
new resistance level will be stored in memory. To
change the target pace for the current seg-
ment, simply change your pedaling pace. At the
end of the current segment, your pace will be
stored in memory. You can continue exercising
and changing the workout for up to forty minutes.
5. Follow your progress with the display.
See step 4 on page 13.
6. Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 14.
7. Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 14.
8. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
See step 7 on page 14.

Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical exerciser
regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
To clean the elliptical exerciser, use a damp cloth and
a small amount of mild soap. IMPORTANT: To avoid
damage to the console, keep liquids away from
the console and keep the console out of direct
sunlight.
CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING
If the console does not turn on, make sure that the
power cord is fully plugged in. If the console does not
display your heart rate when you hold the handgrip
pulse sensor, or if the displayed heart rate appears to
be too high or too low, see step 5 on page 14.
HOW TO CALIBRATE THE RAMP
If the ramp is not functioning properly, the ramp may
need to be calibrated. To calibrate the ramp, hold
down the Start button and the Resistance increase
button for about 5 seconds until the display on the
console changes. Next, press the Start button once,
and then press the Ramp increase button. The ramp
will move upward and downward as it calibrates.
When the ramp stops moving, the ramp is calibrated.
Then, press the Start button repeatedly to return to the
manual mode.
HOW TO AD UST THE BELT
If the pedals slip while you are pedaling, even while
the resistance is adjusted to the highest setting, the
belt may need to be adjusted.
To adjust the belt,
first carefully pry
off the right Disc
Cover (41) using
a flat screwdriver.
Next, remove the
four screws (not
shown) from the
center of the right
Pedal Disc (40).
Gently rotate the
Disc away from
the elliptical exerciser.
Loosen, but do
not remove, the
three indicated
screws (A). Insert
the shaft of a
screwdriver
downward
between the
Idler (B) and the
Idler Pulley (C).
Pull the top of the
screwdriver
toward the front
of the elliptical exerciser until the Belt (57) is tight.
Then, tighten the three screws.
Reattach the right disc with the four screws and then
reattach the right disc cover.
