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 before  
using the elliptical exerciser.  
12. The pulse sensors are not medical devices.  
Various factors, including the user's move-  
ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate  
readings. The pulse sensors are intended  
only as exercise aids in determining 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.  
3. The elliptical exerciser is intended for  
in-home use only. Do not use the elliptical  
exerciser in a commercial, rental, or institu-  
tional setting.  
13. When you stop exercising, allow the pedals  
to slowly come to a complete stop. The ellip-  
tical exerciser does not have a free wheel;  
the pedals will continue to move until the  
flywheel stops.  
4. Place the elliptical exerciser on a level sur-  
face, with a mat beneath it to protect the  
floor or carpet. Keep the elliptical exerciser  
indoors, away from moisture and dust.  
14. Always unplug the power cord immediately  
after use and before cleaning the elliptical  
exerciser.  
15. The decal shown below has been placed on  
the elliptical exerciser. If the decal is miss-  
ing or illegible, please call our Customer  
Service Department toll-free at 1-888-922-

larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.  
6. Keep children under age 12 and pets away  
from the elliptical exerciser at all times.  
7. The elliptical exerciser should not be used  
by persons weighing more than 250 pounds.  
8. Wear appropriate exercise clothing when  
using the elliptical exerciser. Always wear  
athletic shoes for foot protection.  
9. Always hold the handlebars or the upper  
body arms when mounting, dismounting, or  
using the elliptical exerciser.

saline solution such as saliva or contact lens  
solution, wet both electrode areas. Return the  
sensor unit to a position against your chest.  
HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR  
The chest pulse sensor consists of two components:  
the chest strap and the sensor unit. Follow the steps  
below to put on the chest pulse sensor.  
CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING  
If the chest pulse sensor does not function proper-  
ly, or if the displayed heart rate is excessively high  
or low, try the steps below.  
• Make sure that the chest pulse sensor is worn  
exactly as described in step 2 at the left. If the chest  
pulse sensor does not function when positioned as  
described, move it slightly lower or higher on your  
chest.  
Chest Strap  
Tab  
• Each time you use the chest pulse sensor, use  
saline solution such as saliva or contact lens solu-  
tion to wet the two electrode areas on the sensor  
unit (see the drawing in step 3 at the left). If heart  
rate readings do not appear until you begin perspir-  
ing, re-wet the electrode areas.

Next, hold the chest pulse sensor near the console.  
While holding one thumb stationary, begin tapping  
the other thumb against the electrode area at a rate  
of about one tap per second. Check the heart rate  
reading on the console.  
CHEST PULSE SENSOR CARE  
• Thoroughly dry the chest pulse sensor after each  
use. The chest pulse sensor is activated when the  
electrode areas are wetted and the chest pulse sen-  
sor is put on; the chest pulse sensor shuts off when  
it is removed and the electrode areas are dried. If  
the chest pulse sensor is not dried after each use, it  
may remain activated longer than necessary, drain-  
ing the battery prematurely.  
If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly  
after you have followed all of the above instructions,  
the battery should be replaced in the following way:  
Locate the battery  
cover on the back of  
the sensor unit. Insert  
a coin into the slot in  
the cover, turn the  
cover counterclock-  
wise, and remove the  
cover.  
• Store the chest pulse sensor in a warm, dry place.  
Do not store the chest pulse sensor in a plastic bag  
or other container that may trap moisture.  
• Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct  
sunlight for extended periods of time. Do not expose  
the chest pulse sensor to temperatures above 122°  
Fahrenheit (50° Celsius) or below 14° Fahrenheit  
(-10° Celsius).  
Remove the old bat-  
tery and insert a  
new CR 2032 bat-  
tery. Make sure that  
the battery is  
turned so the writ-  
ing is on top.  
Replace the battery  
cover and turn it  
clockwise to close it.  
• Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit  
when using or storing the chest pulse sensor.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER  
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD  
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending  
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent  
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.  
Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in  
place by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle out-  
let box covers are not grounded. Contact a quali-  
fied electrician to determine if the outlet box cover  
is grounded before using an adapter.

grounding  
provides a  
path of least  
resistance for  
electric  
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This prod-  
uct is equipped with a cord having an equipment-  
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug the  
power cord into an appropriate outlet that is prop-  
erly installed and grounded in accordance with all  
local codes and ordinances. This product is for  
use on a nominal 120-volt circuit. Important: The  
elliptical exerciser is not compatible with GFCI-  
equipped outlets.  
Note: When the power cord is plugged in, the ellip-  
tical exerciser’s incline system may automatically  
calibrate itself. During the calibration process, two  
dashes (– –) will appear in the left display of the  
console and the ramp will move to the highest  
position and then return to the lowest position.  
The calibration process will last for one to two  
minutes.

EXERCISING ON THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER  
To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the handlebars  
and step onto the pedal that is in the lowest position.  
Next, step onto the other pedal. Push the pedals until  
they begin to move with a continuous motion.  
DANGER:  
Improper connection of  
the equipment-grounding conductor can result  
in an increased risk of electric shock. Check  
with a qualified electrician or serviceman if  
you are in doubt as to whether the product is  
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug  
provided with the product—if it will not fit the  
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qual-  
ified electrician.

Note: If there are sheets of clear plastic on the face of the console, remove the plastic.  
FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE  
The console also features iFIT.com interactive technol-  
ogy. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a per-  
sonal trainer in your home. Using a stereo audio cable  
(available at electronics stores), you can connect the  
elliptical exerciser to your home stereo, portable stereo,  
computer, or VCR and play special iFIT.com CD and  
video programs (iFIT.com CDs and videocassettes are  
available separately). iFIT.com CD and video programs  
automatically control the resistance of the elliptical  
exerciser and prompt you to vary your pace as a per-  
sonal trainer coaches you through every step of your  
workout. High-energy music provides added motiva-  
tion. To purchase iFIT.com CDs and videocas-  
settes, call toll-free 1-888-922-4222.  
The advanced console offers a selection of features  
designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and  
effective. When the manual mode of the console is  
selected, the resistance of the elliptical exerciser and  
the angle of the ramp can be changed with the touch  
of a button. As you exercise, the console will provide  
continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure  
your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor or the  
chest pulse sensor.  
The console also offers eight resistance and pace pro-  
grams. Each program automatically changes the resis-  
tance of the elliptical exerciser and prompts you to  
increase or decrease your pace as it guides you  
through an effective workout.  
With the elliptical exerciser connected to your comput-  
er, you can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com

Heart rate program 9 is designed to keep your heart  
rate between 50% and 80% of your estimated maxi-  
mum heart rate during your workout. (Your maximum  
heart rate is estimated by subtracting your age from  
220. For example, if you are 30 years old, your esti-  
mated maximum heart rate is 190.) Heart rate pro-  
gram 10 will keep your heart rate between 50% and  
85% of your estimated maximum heart rate. Heart  
rate program 11 will keep your heart rate between  
50% and 90% of your estimated maximum heart rate.  
Heart rate program 12 will keep your heart rate near a  
target heart rate that you choose.  
Monitor your progress with the two displays.  
See step 5 on page 14.  
Measure your heart rate if desired.  
See step 6 on page 15.

decrease your pace to bring your heart rate clos-  
er to the target heart rate setting. If an indicator  
to the right of the lit indicators is flashing (see  
drawing a), increase your pace. If an indicator to  
the left of any lit indicator is flashing (see draw-  
ing b), decrease your pace. When no indicator is  
flashing, your heart rate is near the target heart  
rate setting. Important: The target heart rate  
settings are intended only to provide motiva-  
tion. Your actual heart rate may be slower  
than the target heart rate settings. Make sure  
to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for  
you.  
To use a heart rate program, you must wear the  
chest pulse sensor or use the handgrip pulse  
sensor. If you use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is  
not necessary to hold the handgrips continuously  
during the program. However, you should hold  
the handgrips frequently for the program to oper-  
ate properly. Each time you hold the hand-  
grips, keep your hands on the metal contacts  
for at least 30 seconds. Note: When you are  
not holding the handgrips, the letters “PLS” will  
appear in the right display instead of your heart  
rate.

ments.) During the program, the resistance of the  
elliptical exerciser will periodically change. Heart  
rate program 12 is 60 minutes long (you may  
choose to use only part of the program). The  
same resistance setting and target heart rate set-  
ting are programmed for the entire program.  
Note: If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a  
tone will sound and the program will end. Heart  
rate programs cannot be stopped temporarily and

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES  
WARNING:  
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.  
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.  
The pulse sensors are not medical devices.  
Various factors, including the user's move-  
ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate  
readings. The pulse sensors are intended  
only as exercise aids in determining 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. (During the first few weeks of your exercise  
program, do not keep your heart rate in your training  
zone for longer than 20 minutes.)  
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.  
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age  
near 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  
recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.  
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.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES  
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown below. Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.  
1. Toe Touch Stretch  
1
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. 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.  
2
3. Calf/Achilles Stretch  
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 tendons, bend  
your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons and ankles.

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 buttocks  
as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each  
leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.  
5. Inner Thigh Stretch  
5
Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward. Pull  
your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for 15  
counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip  
muscles.
