Transportation
The elliptical is equipped with two transport wheels that are engaged when the rear of the
Elliptical is lifted.
Operation of Your Elliptical
Getting familiar with the control panel
Power up
The Elliptical is supplied with an external power supply. When power is connected to the Elliptical,
the console will automatically power up. If there is no input to the console for 20 minutes the
console will go to stand-by mode. In stand-by mode the console display will turn off. To turn the
console on press any key.
When initially powered on the console will perform an internal self-test. During this time all the
lights will turn on. When the lights go off the dot matrix display will show a software version (i.e.:
VER 1.0) and the message window will display an odometer reading. The odometer reading
displays how many hours the elliptical has been used and how many virtual miles the elliptical has
gone. The time in hours will be to the left and the odometer in miles will be displayed to the right.
The odometer will remain displayed for only a few seconds, then the console will go to the start up
display. The dot matrix display will be scrolling through the different workout profiles of the
programs and the message window will be scrolling the start up message. You may now begin to
use the console.

Console Operation
Quick Start mode
This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers up you just press the Start
key to begin, this will initiate the Quick Start mode. In Quick Start the Time will count up from zero
and the workload may be adjusted manually by pressing the Up or Down button. The dot matrix
display will show a 1/4-mile track with a lap counter in the center to monitor your progress.
Basic information and functions:
The Message Window:
Will initially be displaying the Time, Program name and Distance (in miles). Each time the Display
button is pressed the next set of information will appear, three sets of data in all. The next set of
information displayed is: Speed (in mph), RPM (pedaling speed) and Watts (indication of work
level). The third set displayed is: Calories, Level (work level from 1-20) and Pulse (heart rate in
beats per minute). Pressing the Display key one more time will set the display to scan mode where
the data will change every 4 seconds.
The Elliptical has a built in heart rate monitoring system. Simply grasping the hand pulse
sensors on the stationary handle bars, or wearing the heart rate transmitter, will start the heart Icon
blinking (this may take a few seconds). The Pulse Display Window will display your heart rate, or
Pulse, in beats per minute. You may purchase an optional heart rate chest strap transmitter from
your local dealer so you can take advantage of the HR control program feature. The console has a
built-in receiver for picking up a chest strap.
The Stop/Reset button actually has several functions. Pressing the Stop/Reset key once during a
program will Pause the program for 5 minutes. If you need to get a drink, answer the phone or any
of the many things that could interrupt your workout, this is a great feature. To resume your
workout during Pause just press the Start key. If the Stop/Reset button is pressed twice during a
workout the program will end and a summary of your workout is displayed. If the Stop/Reset key is
held down for 3 seconds the console will perform a complete Reset. During data entry for a
program the Stop/Reset key performs a Previous Screen function. This allows you to go back one
step in the programming each time you press the Stop/Reset key.
Programming the console
Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to suit your
needs. Some of the information asked for is necessary to ensure the readouts are correct. You will
be asked for your Age and Weight. Entering your Age is necessary during the Heart Rate control
program to ensure the correct settings are entered in the program. Entering your Weight aides in
calculating a more correct Calorie reading. Although we cannot provide an exact calorie count we
do want to be as close as possible.
A message about Calories: Calorie readings on every piece of exercise equipment, whether it is
in a gym or at home, are not accurate and tend to vary widely. They are meant only as a guide to
monitor your progress from workout to workout. The only way to measure your calorie burn
accurately is in a clinical setting connected to a host of machines. This is because every person is
different and burns calories at a different rate. Some good news is that you will continue to burn
calories at about the same rate as during exercise for an hour or more after you have finished
exercising!

Entering a program/Changing Settings
Use the Up or Down key to scroll through the program selections. The profile for each program will
be displayed in the dot matrix window. Press the enter key to select a program and begin
customizing the settings. If you want to workout without entering new settings then just press the
Start key. This will bypass the programming of data and take you directly to the start of your
workout. If you want to change the personal settings then just follow the instructions in the
message window. If you start a program without changing the settings, the default settings will be
used.
The default computer settings are: Age = 35, Weight = 155 Lbs., Time = 20:00, Max Level: each
program has a different maximum work level: Hill = 7, Fat-burn = 5, Cardio = 7, Strength = 8,
Interval = 7.
NOTE: Age and Weight default settings will change when you enter a new number. So the last Age
and Weight entered will be saved as the new default settings. If you enter your Age and Weight the
first time you use the Elliptical you will not have to enter it every time you work out unless either
your Age or Weight changes or someone else enters a different Age and Weight.

workload yourself and not the computer. To start the Manual program follow the instructions below

window.

load at any time press the Up key; the Down key will decrease the workload.
7. During the Manual program you will be able to scroll through the data in the message
window by pressing the Display key.

summary will be displayed for a short time, then the console will return to the start-up
display.

five programs have factory preset profiles for achieving different goals. The initial built-in level of
difficulty for each program is set to a relatively easy level. You may adjust the level of difficulty for

Maintenance:
1. Wipe down all areas in the sweat path with a damp cloth after each workout.
2. If a squeak, thump, clicking or rough feeling develops the main cause is most likely one of two
reasons:
i.
The hardware was not sufficiently tightened during assembly. All bolts that were
installed during assembly need to be tightened as much as possible. It may be
necessary to use a larger wrench than the one provided if you cannot tighten the
bolts sufficiently. I cannot stress this point enough; 90% of calls to the service
department for noise issues can be traced to loose hardware or the rear rails being
dirty.
ii.
Dirt build-up on the rear rails and polyurethane wheels are also a source of noise.
Noise from build-up on the rails can cause a thumping sound that you would swear is
coming from inside the main body of the machine because noise travels, and is
amplified in the tubing of the frame. Clean the rails and wheels with a lint free cloth
and rubbing alcohol. Stubborn build-up can be removed with your thumbnail or a
non-metallic scraper, like the back edge of a plastic knife. After cleaning, apply a
small amount of lubricant on the rails with your fingers or a lint free cloth. You only
need a thin coat of lubrication, wipe off any excess.
3. If squeaks or other noises persist, check that the unit is properly leveled.
Maintenance Menu in console software:
The console has built in maintenance/diagnostic software. The software will allow you to change
the console settings from English to Metric and turn off the beeping of the speaker when a key is
pressed for example. To enter the Maintenance menu (may be called Engineering mode,
depending on version) press and hold down the Start, Stop and Enter keys. Keep holding the keys
down for about 5 seconds and the message window will display ³Engineering mode´. Press the
enter button to access the menu below. Press the up and down keys to navigate the menu.
