tings will move one column to the left. The resis-
tance setting for the second segment will then be
shown in the left column of the matrix and the
resistance of the elliptical exerciser will automati-
cally change to the resistance setting for the sec-
ond segment.
Each program is divided into several time seg-
ments of different lengths. One resistance setting
and one pace setting are programmed for each
segment. (Note: The same resistance setting
and/or pace setting may be programmed for two or
more consecutive segments.) The resistance set-
ting for the first seg-
ment is shown in the
left column of the

HOW TO USE HEART RATE PROGRAMS
Each heart rate program helps you to keep your heart
rate near a certain percentage of your maximum heart
rate during your workout. (Your maximum heart rate is
estimated by subtracting your age from 220. For
example, if you are 30 years old, your maximum heart
rate is 190.) Heart rate program 1 is designed to keep
your heart rate between 50% and 80% of your maxi-
mum heart rate while you exercise; heart rate pro-
gram 2 is designed to keep your heart rate between
50% and 85% of your maximum heart rate.
Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.

To use a heart rate program, you must use the
handgrip pulse sensor (see step 5 on page 10)
or the optional chest pulse sensor. If you use the
handgrip pulse sensor, it is not necessary to hold
the handgrips continuously during the program.
However, you should hold the handgrips fre-
quently for the program to operate properly. Each
time you hold the handgrips, keep your hands
on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds.
Note: When you are not holding the handgrips,
the letters “PLS” will appear in the right display

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the elliptical
exerciser regularly. Replace any worn parts immedi-
ately.
HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
Stand in front of the elliptical exerciser, hold the han-
dlebars firmly, and place one foot against one of the
wheels. Pull the handlebars until the elliptical exercis-
er can be moved on the wheels, and carefully move
the elliptical exerciser to the desired location. Then,
place one foot against a wheel, and lower the elliptical
exerciser. Due to the size and weight of the ellipti-
cal exerciser, use extreme caution while moving
and lowering it.
PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
If the handgrip pulse sensor does not function proper-
ly, see step 5 on page 10.
CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING
If turning on the fan resets the console displays, or if
the displays becomes dim, the batteries should be
replaced. Most console problems are the result of low
batteries. See assembly step 6 on page 6 for replace-
ment instructions.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
WARNING:
Before beginning this or any exercise pro-
gram, consult your physician. This is espe-
cially important for persons over the age of 35
or persons with pre-existing health problems.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener-
gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does
your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy.
If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest num-
ber in your training zone as you exercise.
The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is
intended only as an exercise aid in determin-
ing heart rate trends in general.
For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the middle num-
ber in your training zone as you exercise.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-
tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exer-
cise is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen
for prolonged periods of time. This increases the
demand on the heart to pump blood to the muscles,
and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until
your heart rate is near the highest number in your
training zone as you exercise.
The following guidelines will help you to plan your
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition
and adequate rest are essential for successful results.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.
The proper intensity level can be found by using your
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom-
mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat
burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your
body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in prepa-
ration for exercise.
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 min-
utes of exercising with your heart rate in your training
zone. (During the first few weeks of your exercise
program, do not keep your heart rate in your training
zone for longer than 20 minutes.)
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This
will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will
help to prevent post-exercise problems.
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
near the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to
the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers
above your age. The three numbers are your “training
zone.” The lower two numbers are recommended
heart rates for fat burning; the highest number is the
recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. After a few months of regular exer-
cise, you may complete up to five workouts each week
if desired. The key to success is to make exercise a
regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
Fat Burning
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative-
ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
