IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS  
WARNING:  
To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precau-  
tions before using the elliptical exerciser.  
1. Read all instructions in this manual and all  
warnings on the elliptical exerciser before  
using the elliptical exerciser. Use the ellipti-  
cal exercise only as described in this  
manual.  
10. 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.  
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure  
that all users of the elliptical exerciser are  
adequately informed of all precautions.  
11. Keep your back straight when using the ellip-  
tical exerciser; do not arch your back.  
12. If you feel pain or dizziness while exercising,  
stop immediately and cool down.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE  
The console also offers two pulse control programs and  
six resistance & rpm programs. Each pulse control pro-  
gram automatically controls the resistance of the ped-  
als and prompts you to increase or decrease your ped-  
aling pace to keep your heart rate near a target heart  
rate setting during your workout. Each resistance &  
rpm program automatically changes the resistance of  
the pedals and prompts you to vary your pedaling pace  
as it guides 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 console will  
provide continuous exercise feedback. You can even  
monitor your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sen-  
sor.

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.  
Note: During the program, you can manually over-  
ride the resistance setting, if desired, by pressing  
the increase and decrease buttons. However,  
when the console compares your heart rate to  
the target heart rate setting, the resistance of the  
pedals may automatically increase or decrease to  
bring your heart rate closer to the target heart  
rate setting.  
After the first minute of the program, the Pace  
Coach will prompt you to maintain a consistent  
pedaling pace. When one of the “Too Slow”  
arrows lights, increase your pace. When the one  
of the “Too Fast” arrows lights, decrease your  
pace. When the center indicator lights, maintain  
your current pace.  
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone  
will sound and the program will pause. To restart

HOW TO USE A RESISTANCE & RPM PROGRAM  
Press the Resistance decrease button or  
1
begin pedaling to turn on the console.  
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 pedals 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 resistance settings have moved to  
the left, the resistance settings may move down-  
ward so only the highest indicators appear in the  
matrix.  
A moment after the console is turned on, the dis-  
play will light.  
Select one of the resistance & rpm programs.  
2
Press the Programs  
button repeatedly until  
“P 3,” “P 4,” “P 5,”  
“P 6,” “P 7,” or “P 8”  
appears in the right  
side of the display.  
When a resistance &  
rpm program is selected, a profile of the resis-  
tance settings of the program will scroll across  
the center of the display. The left side of the dis-  
play will show how long the program will last.  
The program will continue until the resistance set-  
ting for the last segment is shown in the Current  
Segment column and the last segment ends.  
Begin pedaling to start the program.  
3
Note: During the program, you can override the  
resistance setting for the current segment, if  
desired, by pressing the increase or decrease but-  
ton. However, when the next segment begins, the  
resistance will change if a different resistance set-  
ting is programmed for the next segment.  
Each program is divided into several one-minute  
segments. One resistance setting and one pace  
setting are programmed for each segment. Note:  
The same resistance setting and/or pace setting  
may be programmed for two or more consecutive  
segments.  
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone  
will sound and the program will pause. To restart  
the program, simply resume pedaling.  
The resistance setting

settings are not shown in the display.) The resis-  
tance settings for the next four segments will be  
shown in the columns to the right.  
Measure your heart rate if desired.  
See step 5 on page 14.  
As you exercise, the Pace Coach will help you to  
keep your pedaling pace near the pace setting for  
the current segment. When one of the “Too Slow”  
arrows lights, increase your pace. When the one  
of the “Too Fast” arrows lights, decrease your  
pace. When the center indicator lights, maintain  
your current pace.  
Turn on the fan if desired.  
See step 6 on page 14.  
When you are finished exercising, the console  
will automatically turn off.

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.
