ASSEMBLY  
Assembly requires two persons. Place all parts of the elliptical exerciser in a cleared area and remove the  
packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed.  
Assembly requires the included allen wrenches and your own phillips screwdriver  
rubber mallet  
and  
.
As you assemble the elliptical exerciser, use the drawings below to identify the small parts used in assembly.  
The number in parentheses below each drawing is the key number of the part, from the PART LIST on page 21.  
The second number is the quantity used in assembly. Note: Some small parts may have been pre-assem-  
bled. If a part is not in the parts bag, check to see if it is pre-assembled.

upper end of the Upper Wire Harness to remove  
the slack from the Wire Harnesses.  
Do not pinch the  
wire harnesses  
during this step.  
Insert the Upright (2) into the Frame (1). Be careful to  
avoid pinching the Wire Harnesses (30, 42). Attach  
the Upright with two M10 x 108mm Button Screws (70),  
two M10 Split Washers (73), and two 7.6mm Spacers  
(47). Make sure that the curved sides of the

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER  
HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER  
Handlebars  
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 ellipti-  
cal exerciser. Due to the size and weight of the  
elliptical exerciser, use extreme caution while  
moving and lowering it.  
Handgrip  
Pulse Sensor  
EXERCISING ON THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER  
To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the handgrip  
pulse sensor 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.  
Pedals  
Wheel  
To dismount the elliptical exerciser, wait until the ped-  
als come to a complete stop. The elliptical exercis-  
er does not have a free wheel; the pedals will  
continue to move until the flywheel stops. When  
the pedals are stationary, step off the highest pedal  
first. Then, step off the lowest pedal.

the upper display will show how long the program  
will last.  
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-  
ment of the program, both the Current Segment  
column and the column to the right will flash, a  
series of tones will sound, and all resistance set-  
tings will move one column to the left. The resis-  
tance setting for the second segment will then be  
shown in the flashing Current Segment column,  
and the resistance of the elliptical exerciser will  
change to the resistance setting for the second  
segment. Note: If all of the indicators in the  
Current Segment column are lit after the resis-  
tance settings have moved to the left, the resis-  
tance settings may move downward so only the  
highest indicators appear in the matrix.  
Press the Start button or begin pedaling to

the program, simply resume pedaling.  
As you exercise, the Target Pace guide will help  
you to keep your pedaling pace near the pace  
setting for the current segment. When one of the

select a different program before the program  
ends.  
Turn on the fan if desired.  
See step 6 on page 10.  
Both heart rate programs—As you pedal, the  
console will regularly compare your heart rate to  
the target heart rate setting. If your heart rate is  
too far below or above the target heart rate set-  
ting, the resistance of the elliptical exerciser will

HOW TO REMOVE THE SIDE SHIELDS AND THE  
FLYWHEEL COVERS  
HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH  
If the console does not display correct feedback, the  
reed switch should be adjusted. To adjust the reed  
switch, first see the instructions at the left and remove  
the side shields and the flywheel covers.  
The Left and Right Side Shields (15, 16) must be  
removed before the reed switch or the drive belt can  
be adjusted. To remove the Side Shields, remove the  
indicated Screws (48, 94, 95). Note which hole each  
Screw is removed from; the Screws will later need to  
be reattached in the same holes. Carefully separate  
and remove the Side Shields.  
Next, see the drawing below. Locate the Reed Switch  
(55). Turn the Left Crank Arm (34) until the Magnet  
(37) is aligned with the Reed Switch. Loosen, but do  
not remove, the indicated Screw (94). Slide the Reed  
Switch slightly closer to or away from the Magnet, and  
then retighten the Screw. Turn the Left Crank Arm for  
a moment. Repeat until the console displays correct  
feedback. When the Reed Switch is correctly adjust-  
ed, reattach the side shields and the flywheel covers.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES  
WARNING:  
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.  
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.  
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.
