BASIC OPERATION

CONGRATUIATIONS ON CHOOSING YOUR ELLIPTICAL!

You can take an important step in developing and sustaining an exercise program. Your skills is a tremendously effective tool for achieving your personal fitness goals. Regular use of your technical ability improves the quality of your life in so many ways,

Here are just a few of the health benefits of exercise.

Weight and

A. healthy heart

• improved muscle tone
• increased dry energy levels

The key to repeng the hare benefits is to develop an exercise habit. Your new elliptical will help you eliminate obstacles that prevent you from exercising. In movement, weather and darkness won't interfere with your workout when you use your elliptical in the comfort of your home. This guide provides you with basic information for using and enjoying your own machines.

LOCATION OF THE EIIIpTICAL

Place the elliptical on a level surface. There should be 7 feet of clearance behind the elliptical, 3 feet on each side and one foot in front for the power cord. Do not place the elliptical in any area that will block any vent or air openings. The elliptical should not be located in a garage, covered terrain, near water or outdoors.

POWER

Your elliptical is powered by a power supply. The power must be plugged into the power jack, which is located in the front of the machine near the stabilizer tube. Some ellipticals have a power switch, located next to the power jack. Make sure it is in the ON position. NOTE: Some ellipticals have an ON/OFF switch located behind the console.

WARNING

Never ope r product if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been damaged or immeded in water. Contact Customer Tech Support for examination and repair.

FOOTPOsITIONING

Your elliptical offers a variety of foot positions. Moving your foot to the forward most position of the foot pad increases your step height, which will create a feel similar to a step machine. Placing your foot toward the back of the foot pad decreases your step height and creates more of a grinding feel, similar to a smooth walk or run. Always make sure your entire foot is secured on the foot pad.

Your elliptical also allows you to pedal both forward and backwards to offer a variation to your workout and to focus on other major leg muscles such as your hamstrings and calves.

MOVING THE EIIpTICAL

Your elliptical has a pair of transport wheels built into the front stabilizer tube. To move, first remove the power supply and firmly grasp the steel portion of the rear stabilizer bay, carefully tilt and rot. NOTE: be sure to grit the steel bar and rot the plastic cover.

WARNING

Our elliptic tests are heavy, use care and additional help if necessary when moving. Failure to follow these instructions could result in injury.

IEVEING THE EIIIpTICAI

Your elliptical should be level for optimum use. Once you have placed your elliptical where you intend to use , raise or lower one or both of the adjustable levers located on the bottom of the elliptical frame. A carpenter's level is recommended. Once you have lowered your elliptical, lock the levers in place by tightening the nuts against the frame. NOTE: Some ellipticals on no haws levers.

pPOWER INCINE OpERATION

Some elliptical models offer powered incline to add variety to your workouts. The incline can be adjusted using the buttons on the console.

If the stop button is pressed to pause the program, the incline motor will remain in its current height until the time the stop button is pressed to stop. If the stop button is pressed to stop the program, if the STOP button is held for 3 seconds to reset the console, the incline will also return to 0% .

Some elliptical models have an adjustable incline (feature to add variety to your workouts). To adjust the incline up or down, stand on the side of the elliptical and place your hand firmly on the top of the shroud (see shown). With your other hand, carefully lift up on the adjustment bar, lifting and guiding it up and in. NOTE: Some models may have a pin that would need to be pressed to move the ramp.

WORKOUT OPTIONS

LOWER BODY WORKOUT To focus on a lower body workout, hold the stationary handbarbals only. This will target your lower body muscles.

FULL BODY WORKOUT For a full body workout, push and pull continuously on the dual action arms while paddling.

MOUNTING THE EIIIPICAL

1. Stand on the side of the elliptical nest to the lowest foot pedal.
2. While holding both of the stationary handlebars, place your foot on the other side of the nest and gently press down on the elastic
3. Wait until the elliptical finds its resting place and then places your other foot on the opposite pedal.

USING THE HEART RATE FUNCTION

Your elliptical could be equipped with either heart rate pulse grips or a thumb pulse sensor. To find out what your model has, refer to the beginning of the ASSEMBLY section of your OWNER'S MANUAL.

The heart rate function on this product is not a medical device. While heart rate grips or a thumb pulse sensor can provide a relative estimation of your actual heart rate, they should not be relied on when accurate readings are necessary. Some people, including those in a cardiac rehab program, may benefit from using an alternate heart rate monitoring system like a chest or wrist strip. Various factors, including movement of the user, may affect the accuracy of your heart rate reading. The heart rate reading is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general. Please consult your physician.

pUISE GRIPs

Place the pain of your hands directly on the grip pulse handbieres. Both hands must grip the bars for your heart rate to register. It takes 6 consecutive heart beats (15-20 seconds) for your heart rate to register. When gripping the pulse handbieres, do not grip tightly. Holding the grips lightly may elevate your blood pressure. Keep a close, oopping hold. You may experience an erratic reaction if consistently holding the grip pulse handbieres. Make sure to clean the pulse sensors to ensure proper contact can be maintained.

THUMB pUISE

Place and hold your thumb lightly over the thumb sensor. The sensor may not work properly if you press too hard. The sensor window should be completely covered by your finger. Wait for a few seconds, and your heart rate will show in the heart rate window. The thumb sensor can also read a pulse from your index finger.

CAUTION

Do not press excessively hard on the sensor as this may cause damage.

Some ellipticals also include a built-in wireless heart rate receiver. When used in conjunction with a wireless chest transmitter, your heart rate can be transmitted wirelessly to the elliptical and displayed on the console. Your elliptical may or may not include a wireless chest transmitter (see the beginning of the ASSEMBLY section of your OWNERS MANUAL).

Prior to wearing the wireless chest transmitter on your chest, moisten the two rubber electrodes with water. Center the chest strap just below the breast or pectoral muscles, directly over your sternum, with the logo facing out. NOTE: The chest strap must be tight and properly placed to receive an accurate and consistent readout. If the chest strap is too loose, or positioned improperly, you may receive an erratic or inconsistent heart rate readout.

TROUBLESHOOTING & MAINTENANCE

COMMON pPRODUCT QUESTIONS

ARE THE SOUNDMY ELLPTICALMAKES NORMAI?

Our ellipticals are some of the quietest available because they use bolt drives and friction free magnetic resistance. We use the highest grade bearings and belts to minimize noise. However, because the resistance system itself is so quiet, we will occasionally hear other slight mechanical noises. Unlike older, louder technologies, there are no fans, friction belts, or alternator noises to mask these sounds on our ellipticals. These mechanical noises, which may or may not be intermittent, are normal and are caused by the transfer of significant amounts of energy to a rapidly spinning flywheel. All bearings, belts and other rotating parts will generate some mechanical noises in the shafts of the engines. It is also normal for these sounds to change slightly during a workout and over time because of thermal expansion of the parts.

WHY IS THE EIIPTICALI I HAD DELIVERED IOUDER THAN THE ONE AT THE STORE?

All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is generally more background noise than in your home. Also, there will be less reverberation on a carpeted concrete floor than on a wood overlay floor. Sometimes a heavy rubber met will help reduce reverberation through the floor. If a fitness product is placed close to a wall, there will be more reflected noise.

HOW IONG WILL THE DRIVE BEIT LAST?

The computer modeling we have done indicated virtually thousands of maintenance free hours. Bolts are now commonly used in far more demanding applications such as motorcycle drives.

Your elliptical has a pair of transport wheels built into the front stabilizer tube. Please follow the MOVING THE ELLIPUTICAL section to transport your elliptical. It is important that you place your elliptical in a comfortable and inviting room. Your elliptical is designed to use minimal floor space. Many people will place their ellipticals facing the TV or a picture window. If at all possible, avoid putting your elliptical in a unfinished basement. To make exercise a desirable daily activity for you, the elliptical should be in a comfortable setting.

CAN I PEDAI bACKWARDSON MY EIIIPTICAL?

Your elliptical allows you to pedal both forward and backwards to exercise and strengthen a wider range of muscles.

TROUBESHOOTING HEART RATE (GRIP-PULSE ONLY)

Check your exercise environment for sources of interference such as fluorescent lights, computers, underground fencing, home security systems or other security devices. If you are not familiar with these items may cause erratic heart rate readings.

You may experience an erratic readout under the following conditions:

• Gritching the heart rate handlebars too light. Try to maintain moderate pressure while holding onto the heart rate handlebars.
• Constant movement and vibration due to constantly holding the heart rate heddles while exerting. If you are receiving erratic heart rate readouts, try to use the grips long enough to monitor your heart rate.
• When you are breathing heavily during a workout.
• When your hands are constricted by wearing a ring.
• When your hands are dry or cold. Try to isolate your palms by rubbing them together to warm.
