11. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.  
Various factors, including the user’s move-  
ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate  
readings. The pulse sensor is intended only  
as an exercise aid in determining heart rate  
trends in general.  
4. Keep your elliptical exerciser indoors, away  
from moisture and dust. Place your elliptical  
exerciser on a level surface, with a mat  
beneath it to protect the floor or carpet.  
Make sure that there is enough clearance  
around your elliptical exerciser to mount,  
dismount, and use it.  
12. When you stop exercising, allow the pedals  
to slowly come to a stop.  
5. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-  
larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER  
HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER  
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL  
EXERCISER  
Due to the size and weight of the elliptical exercis-  
er, moving it requires two persons. Stand in front of  
the elliptical exerciser, hold the upright, and place one  
foot against one of the front wheels. Pull on the  
upright and have a second person lift the base until  
the elliptical exerciser will roll on the front wheels.  
Carefully move the elliptical exerciser to the desired  
location, and then lower it to the floor.  
To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the handlebars  
and step onto the pedal that is in the lower position.  
Then, step onto the other pedal. Push the pedals until  
they begin to move with a continuous motion. Note:  
The crank arm covers can turn in either direction.  
It is recommended that you turn the crank arm  
covers in the direction shown by the arrow below;  
however, for variety, you can turn the crank arm  
covers in the opposite direction.

HOW TO USE A WEIGHT LOSS WORKOUT  
1. Begin pedaling to turn on the console.  
See step 1 on page 16.  
As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep  
your pedaling pace near the target rpm setting for  
the current segment. When the words PEDAL  
FASTER appear in the upper display, increase  
your pace. When the words PEDAL SLOWER  
appear, decrease your pace. When the words  
PEDALING IN RANGE appear, maintain your cur-  
rent pace.  
2. Select a weight loss workout.  
To select one of the four weight loss workouts,  
press the Enter/Exit button repeatedly until the  
name of a WEIGHTLOSS workout appears in the  
upper display.  
IMPORTANT: The target rpm settings are  
intended only to provide motivation. Your actu-  
al pace may be slower than the target rpm set-  
tings. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is com-  
fortable for you.  
Profile  
If the resistance level for the current segment is  
too high or too low, you can manually override the  
setting by pressing the Quick Resistance buttons.  
However, when the current segment ends, the ped-  
als will automatically adjust to the resistance level  
for the next segment.  
When you select a weight loss workout, the name  
of the workout and the workout time will appear in  
the displays and a profile of the resistance levels  
of the workout will scroll across the center display.  
3. Press Start or begin pedaling to start the  
workout.  
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a series  
of tones will sound and the workout will pause. To  
restart the workout, simply resume pedaling. The  
workout will continue until the last segment of the  
profile flashes and the last segment of the workout  
ends.  
Each weight loss workout is divided into 25, 30, or  
45 one-minute segments. One resistance level and  
one target rpm (revolutions per minute) setting are  
programmed for each segment. Note: The same  
resistance level and/or target rpm setting may be  
programmed for consecutive segments.  
When the last segment of the workout ends, the  
words PROGRAM DONE will appear in the upper  
display.  
During the workout, the workout profile will show  
your progress (see the drawing above). The flash-  
ing segment of the profile represents the current  
segment of the workout. The height of the flashing  
segment indicates the resistance level for the cur-  
rent segment. At the end of each segment of the  
workout, a series of tones will sound and the next  
segment of the profile will begin to flash. If a differ-  
ent resistance level is programmed for the next  
segment, the resistance level will appear in the  
display for a few seconds to alert you. The resis-  
tance of the pedals will then change.

If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a series  
of tones will sound and the workout will pause. To  
restart the workout, simply resume pedaling. The  
workout will continue until the last segment of the  
profile flashes and the last segment of the workout  
ends.  
To select one of the eight preset workouts, press  
the Enter/Exit button repeatedly until the name of a  
WORKOUT appears in the upper display.  
When the last segment of the workout ends, the  
words PROGRAM DONE will appear in the upper  
display.  
Profile  
4. Follow your progress with the displays.  
See step 4 on page 16.  
When you select a preset workout, the name of  
the workout and the workout time will appear in  
the displays and a profile of the resistance levels  
of the workout will scroll across the center display.  
5. Measure your heart rate if desired.  
See step 5 on page 17.  
3. Press Start or begin pedaling to start the  
workout.  
6. When you are finished exercising, the console  
will turn off automatically.  
The workout is divided into 20, 30, or 45 one-  
minute segments. One resistance level and one  
target rpm setting are programmed for each seg-  
ment. Note: The same resistance level and/or target  
rpm (revolutions per minute) setting may be pro-  
grammed for consecutive segments. The displays  
for a preset workout will work in the same way as  
the displays for a weight loss workout (see step 3  
on page 18).  
See step 6 on page 17.  
HOW TO VIEW THE FITNESS JOURNAL  
To view the fitness journal, press the Trip/Total but-  
ton. The trip distance for your current workout and  
the number of hours the elliptical exerciser has  
been used during the current workout will appear in  
the display. Note: The trip distance will be reset  
each time you use the console.  
As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep  
your pedaling pace near the target rpm setting for  
the current segment. When the words PEDAL  
FASTER appear in the upper display, increase  
your pace. When the words PEDAL SLOWER  
appear, decrease your pace. When the words  
PEDALING IN RANGE appear, maintain your cur-  
rent pace.  
To view the total distance pedaled and the total  
number of hours the elliptical exerciser has been  
used since the elliptical exerciser was purchased,  
press the Trip/Total button again. Note: When the  
word K-REVS appears in the upper display, the  
number shown in the right display multiplied by one  
thousand equals the total distance.  
IMPORTANT: The target rpm settings are  
intended only to provide motivation. Your actu-  
al pace may be slower than the target rpm set-  
tings. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is com-  
fortable for you.  
To exit the fitness journal, press the Trip/Total but-  
ton a third time.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING  
Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical exerciser  
Then, retighten the Screw. Turn one of the Crank Arms  
regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.  
(36) for a moment. Repeat until the console displays  
correct feedback. When the Reed Switch is correctly  
adjusted, replace the convenience tray and reattach the  
left and right side shields.  
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.  
HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT  
If the pedals slip while you are pedaling, even while  
the resistance is adjusted to the highest setting, the  
drive belt may need to be adjusted. To adjust the drive  
belt, first remove the screws from the left and right  
side shields; there are two sizes of screws in the  
side shields—note which size of screw you remove  
from each hole. Gently pull the side shields apart and  
remove the convenience tray.  
BATTERY REPLACEMENT  
If the console display becomes dim, the batteries  
should be replaced; most console problems are the  
result of low batteries. See assembly step 13 on page  
11 for replacement instructions.  
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER  
Next, locate the Idler Screw (68) and loosen it one half  
turn. Step onto the elliptical exerciser and move the  
pedals. If the pedals continue to slip, turn the Idler  
Screw another half turn and test the pedals again.  
Continue in this way until the pedals no longer slip.  
Then, replace the convenience tray and reattach the  
side shields.  
If the elliptical exerciser rocks slightly on your floor  
during use, see HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL  
EXERCISER on page 14.  
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 remove the screws from the left and right  
side shields; there are two sizes of screws in the  
side shields—note which size of screw you remove  
from each hole. Gently pull the side shields apart and  
remove the convenience tray.  
Next, see the drawing below and locate the Reed  
Switch (50). Loosen, but do not remove, the indicated  
M4 x 16mm Self-tapping Screw (79). Slide the Reed  
Switch slightly toward or away from a Magnet (55) on  
the flywheel.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES  
Burning FatTo burn fat effectively, you must exer-  
cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of  
time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your  
body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. 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 number in your training  
zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your  
heart rate near the middle number in your training  
zone.  
WARNING:  
Before beginning  
this or any exercise program, consult your  
physician. This is especially 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.  
Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your  
cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic  
exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts  
of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic  
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until  
your heart rate is near the highest number in your  
training zone.  
These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise  
program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a  
reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,  
proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for  
successful results.  
WORKOUT GUIDELINES  
EXERCISE INTENSITY  
Warming up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching  
and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body  
temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation  
for exercise.  
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your  
cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper inten-  
sity is the key to achieving results. You can use your  
heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level.  
The chart below shows recommended heart rates for  
fat burning and aerobic exercise.  
Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 min-  
utes 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.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you  
exercise–never hold your breath.  
Cooling down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of  
stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your  
muscles and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.  
EXERCISE FREQUENCY  
To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the  
bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the near-  
est ten years). The three numbers listed above your  
age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is  
the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the  
heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest  
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.  
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. Remember, the key to success is to  
make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your  
everyday life.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES  
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right.  
Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.  
1
1. Toe Touch Stretch  
Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from  
your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach  
down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then  
relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees and  
back.  
2
2. Hamstring Stretch  
Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot  
toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg.  
Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts,  
then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Hamstrings,  
lower back and groin.  
3. Calf/Achilles Stretch  
3
With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your  
hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back  
foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move  
your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3  
times for each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles ten-  
dons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles ten-  
dons and ankles.  
4
4. Quadriceps Stretch  
With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp  
one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your but-  
tocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times  
for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.  
5. Inner Thigh Stretch  
5
