FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The three resistance & rpm programs automatically
change the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to
vary your pedaling pace as they guide you through an
effective workout.
The advanced console offers an array of features
designed to make your workouts more effective and
enjoyable. When the manual mode of the console is
selected, you can change the resistance of the pedals
with the touch of a button. As you exercise, the con-
sole will provide continuous exercise feedback. You
can even monitor your heart rate using the handgrip
pulse sensor.
The console also features iFIT.com interactive technol-
ogy. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a per-
sonal trainer in your home. Using a stereo audio cable
(available at electronics stores), you can connect the
elliptical exerciser to your portable stereo, home stereo,
computer, or VCR and play special iFIT.com CD and

available separately). iFIT.com programs automatically
control the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to
vary your pace as a personal trainer coaches you
through every step of your workout. High-energy music
provides added motivation. To purchase iFIT.com
CDs and videocassettes, call the toll-free tele-
phone number on the front cover of this manual.
The two pulse control programs automatically control
the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to
increase or decrease your pedaling pace to keep your
heart rate near a target heart rate setting during your
workout.
With the elliptical exerciser connected to your comput-
er, you can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com
and access programs directly from the internet.
Explore www.iFIT.com for more information.
The distance program counts the number of revolu-
tions that you pedal during your workout, until you
have completed 5,000 revolutions.

Pulse control program 4 is divided into 40 one-
minute segments. The same target heart rate set-
ting is programmed for all segments. Note: For a
shorter workout, stop exercising or select a differ-
ent program before the program ends.
Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 14.
When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off.
During both pulse control programs, the con-
sole 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 setting,
the resistance of the pedals will automatically
increase or decrease to bring your heart rate
closer to the target heart rate setting.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical exerciser
regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
• Avoid moving your hands while using the handgrip
pulse sensor. Excessive movement may interfere
with heart rate readings.
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.
• Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so
may interfere with heart rate readings.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
• For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the
metal contacts for about 30 seconds.
If the console displays become dim, the batteries
should be replaced; most console problems are the
result of low batteries. See assembly step 7 on page
7 for replacement instructions.
• For optimal performance of the handgrip pulse sen-
sor, keep the metal contacts clean. The contacts
can be cleaned with a soft cloth—never use alco-
hol, abrasives, or chemicals.
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
HOW TO ELIMINATE FLEXING IN THE CENTER OF
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.
If the elliptical exerciser flexes in the center during
use, turn the base foot (see the drawing at the left)
until the flexing is eliminated.

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. Note: During the first few weeks of your exer-
cise program, do not keep your heart rate in your
training zone for longer than 20 minutes.
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
at 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 recommend-
ed heart rate for aerobic exercise.
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.
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.
