To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and
instructions in this manual and all warnings on your elliptical exerciser before using your elliptical
exerciser. Sears assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or
through the use of this product.
1. Before beginning any exercise program,
consult your physician. This is especially
important for persons over the age of 35 or
persons with pre-existing health problems.
8. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when
exercising; do not wear loose clothes that
could become caught on your elliptical exer-
ciser. Always wear athletic shoes for foot
protection.
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the elliptical exerciser are
adequately informed of all precautions.
9. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor or the handle-

ting.
10. Keep your back straight while using your
elliptical exerciser; do not arch your back.
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.
13. If you feel pain or dizziness while exercising,
stop immediately and cool down.

To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the handles on
the console or the handlebars and step onto the pedal
that is in the lowest position. Then, step onto the other
pedal. Push the pedals until they begin to move with a
continuous motion. Note: The pedal discs can turn
Handlebars
in either direction. It is recommended that you
move the pedal discs in the direction shown by
the arrow; however, for variety, you can turn the
pedal discs in the opposite direction.
Pedals
To dismount the elliptical exerciser, wait until the ped-
als come to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical
exerciser 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 handlebars are designed to add upper-body exer-
cise to your workouts. As you exercise, push and pull
the handlebars to work your arms, shoulders, and
back.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical exerciser
regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
Next, see the drawing below and locate the Reed
Switch (53). Loosen, but do not remove, the indicated
M4 x 16mm Self-tapping Screw (52). Slide the Reed
Switch slightly toward or away from the Magnet (58) on
the flywheel. Retighten the Screw. Turn the left Pedal
Disc (15) for a moment. Repeat until the console dis-
plays correct feedback. When the Reed Switch is cor-
rectly adjusted, reattach the Side Shields (3, 4), the
right Pedal Disc (15), and the Right Pedal Leg (12).
To clean the elliptical exerciser, use a damp cloth and
a small amount of mild dish soap. Important: Keep
liquids away from the console and keep the con-
sole out of direct sunlight. During storage, remove
the batteries from the console.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the console display becomes dim, the batteries
should be replaced. See assembly step 3 on page 6
for replacement instructions.

If the console does not display correct feedback, the
reed switch should be adjusted. To adjust the reed
switch, you must first remove the Right Pedal Leg
(12), the right Pedal Disc (15), and the Side Shields (3,
4). See step 8 on page 8 and remove the Right Pedal
Leg.

HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT
If you can feel the pedals slip while you are pedaling,
even when the resistance is adjusted to the highest
level, the Drive Belt (19) may need to be adjusted. To
adjust the Drive Belt, you must first remove both side
shields. See HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
Burning Fat—To 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.
