INITIAL SETUP
Read the entire User Manual before setting up the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer.
Note: This Total Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer is speed independent. Resistance can be adjusted by means other than
speed.
WHERE TO PLACE THE TOTAL-BODY ELLIPTICAL CROSS-TRAINER
After following all safety instructions move the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer to the place
12“ (30.5cm)
where it will be used. Allow a minimum clearance of 12 inches (30.5 cm) around the product.
See specifications for full dimensions if needed. The Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer is
equipped with front and rear wheels so that it is simple to push or pull the Total-Body Elliptical
Cross-Trainer to its final destination. To use the wheels make sure that the levelers are twist-
ed up far enough so that all wheels (A) can engage with the floor. Once the Total-Body
Elliptical Cross-Trainer is properly positioned, allow enough space in the front of the Total-
Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer for the movement of the pedal levers. Also be sure to allow
12“ (30.5cm)
12“ (30.5cm)
space on the side so that it is easy to mount the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer from the
side.
CAUTION: Make certain you have plenty of room for the swing of
the moving arms. Test the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer at all
stride lengths before finalizing its location.
CAUTION: Place Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer in a dry
place. Do not place in highly humid areas, like near swimming
pools, as rust and corrosion may occur.

12“ (30.5cm)
HOW TO STABILIZE THE TOTAL-BODY ELLIPTICAL CROSS-TRAINER
Once the cross-trainer is positioned in the room lower the levelers on the front stabilizer to contact the floor. The levelers
will keep the cross-trainer fixed to the floor while using it.
CAUTION: Do not use the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer without the levelers touching the floor. After placing the
Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer where it will be used, check the stability. If there is even a slight rocking motion, or the
unit is not stable the levelers will need to be adjusted. Determine which leveler is not resting firmly on the floor. To adjust
the levelers downward twist the rubber portion of the leg counterclockwise. To adjust the levelers upward twist the rubber
portion of the leg clockwise.
Note: After the Cross-Trainer is level, be sure to tighten the nut on the leveler against the stabilizer tube. If this is not
tightened, noise will occur.
POWERING UP THE TOTAL-BODY ELLIPTICAL CROSS-TRAINER
Your Life Fitness Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer may come with either a U.S. power
supply or one of several international power supplies. Insert the appropriate power
adapter jack into the connector (B) on the back of the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer.
Then insert the plug into the wall outlet. Make sure the cord is placed so it doesn't bind
B
and will not be walked on. Then check that the main LCD display lights up, and press a
button on the CoachZone to make sure it is powered. If not, recheck the plug and the
wall connections and make sure the wall outlet has power
MOUNTING THE MACHINE
When mounting the machine it is recommended that the pedal closest to you is in its lowest position. This can be done by
pushing the arms to rotate the pedal until it is centered to the side of you at its lowest position. If you are standing to the left
side of the machine, when facing the console, place your left foot on the pedal closest to you and then swing your right leg
over the right pedal. Use the stationary handlebar to stabilize yourself.
DISMOUNTING THE MACHINE
Bring the machine to a stop. It is recommended to put the pedal in it’s lowest position on the side of the unit you will be dis-
mounting. If dismounting the machine on the left side, when facing the console, step off with the right leg first followed by
the left leg. Use the stationary handlebar for stabilization.
STRIDE LENGTH FOR DIFFERENT USERS
The X5 has stride lengths from 18 inches to 24 inches (46 cm to 61 cm). While it is fine for all size users to utilize any of
the stride lengths, research has shown that shorter users may prefer a shorter stride length while taller users may prefer a
longer stride length.

MAIN FEATURES
5.1 CONTACT HEART RATE
The X5 includes hand pulse sensors on the stationary handle bar that are a built-in heart rate monitoring system. During a
workout grasp the hand pulse sensors to monitor your heart rate.We recommend using the heart rate chest strap provided
with your console during workouts and using the hand pulse sensors to only occasionally monitor your heart rate when not
using the chest strap. In addition, to utilize heart rate controlled workouts the chest strap must be used. For the most accu-
rate reading, use a comfortable grip. The console will show a heart rate reading after 15 to 20 seconds.
Hand pulse sensors can work differently with different body types. With some individuals it can be very difficult to extract a
heart rate reading. Follow the below tips to improve the heart rate reading.
·
·
·
·
·
Remove your hands from the heart rate sensors and wait for the heart rate display to clear. Grasp sensors again.
Make sure hands are fully contacting the sensors.
Dry hands periodically during use.
Limit movement.
Clean hand pulse sensors.
Note: The heart rate hand pulse sensors provide an approximate heart rate value. The sensors are not medical devices
and should not be used in any type of medical application.
5.2
ACCESSORIES
The X5 comes standard with two removable blue water bottle holders (C) and one blue accessory tray (D). All are easily
removable and safe to place on the top shelf of a standard consumer dishwasher. The X5 console also includes a reading
ledge (E) that can be used to place a book or magazine on the machine to better enjoy your workout.

FLEXPEDAL™ SHOCK ABSORPTION SYSTEM
The FlexPedal Shock Absorption System utilizes patented Life Fitness LifeSpring cushioning in the front of the pedal to pro-
vide you with extra comfort during workouts. This technology is the same cushioning technology used in all Life Fitness
treadmill decks. The design intent of the pedal is to promote more ankle joint movement during stride push through to
encourage a more natural feeling stride.

5.4 SELECTSTRIDE™
The X5 features SelectStride Technology which provides the user with the ability to adjust the stride length to any increment
between 18 and 24 inches (46 cm to 61 cm). By adjusting the stride length, you can personalize the motion to your body or
to your specific workout. For example, a longer stride length may feel the most comfortable and natural to taller individuals.
Similarly, you may prefer a shorter stride setting when performing a slower paced workout while the longer stride setting
may feel best when doing a faster, running-style pace. You can change the stride length setting to add variety to your work-
out.
ADJUSTING STRIDE LENGTH
You can adjust the stride length at any time before or during your workout. Follow these steps to adjust the stride length:
·
·
Slide the blue release lever (F) up on one rear side of the unit.
Lift (or lower) the pedal arm (G) to the preferred stride setting. The stride setting position indicators, marked “18”,
“19”, “20”, “21”, “22”, “23”, and “24”, are located on the sides of the plastic shrouds.
·
·
·
Let go of the blue release lever.
Repeat the above steps on the other rear side of the unit.
Begin workout.
Note: Make sure to adjust the stride length on both sides of the unit for even stride lengths.
