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.  
Manual

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.

display.  
Preset Programs  
The Elliptical has five different programs that have been designed for a variety of workouts. These  
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  
each program before beginning by following the instructions in the message window after selecting  
your program.

Fat Burn  
The Fat Burn program is designed, as the name implies, to maximize the burning of fat. There are  
many schools of thought on the best way to burn fat but most experts agree that a lower exertion  
level that stays at a steady workload is the best. The absolute best way to burn fat is to keep your  
heart rate at around 60% to 70% of its maximum potential. This program does not use heart rate  
but simulates a lower, steady exertion workout.

experience during the program. Adjust the level and then press enter.  
6. Now you are finished editing the settings and can begin your workout by pressing the Start  
key. You can also go back and modify your settings by pressing Stop key to go back one level,  
or screen.

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.
