ASSEMBLY PACK CHECK LIST Step 4 #87 - 3.
STEP 1: CONSOLE MAST ASSEMBLY • • • • Locate the console mast (12) and console mast cover (41) and slide the cover onto the mast as far as it will go. Make sure the cover is facing the correct way. At the top opening of the main body of the elliptical is a wire harness (31). Unravel and straighten out the wire harness and feed it into the bottom of the console mast tube and out of the top opening.
STEP 2: SWING ARM ASSEMBLY • Install the two Wave Washers (83) onto the Left and Right sides of the Swing Arm axle. • Slide the Left and Right Swing Arms (10&11) onto the appropriate side of the axle. There is a small sticker on each swing arm that shows L (Left) or R (Right). Do not force the swing arms onto the axles, they should slip on but may need to be jiggled a little to align them properly. The swing arms have been installed at the factory during testing so they should fit properly.
STEP 3: CONNECTING ARM ASSEMBLY • Align the hole in the rod end bearings at the ends of the Connecting Arms (8&9) with the hole in the bracket at the bottom of the Swing Arms (10&11). There is a sleeve spacer already installed in the rod ends and held in place with a twist tie; make sure these spacers do not fall out during assembly. The rod end bearing should be positioned to the inside of the swing arm brackets.
STEP 4: BEAUTY COVERS ASSEMBLY • Install the Connecting Arm Covers (57 & 58) over the connection of the rod end and Swing Arms with four M5 Phillips Head Screws (105) and two Self Tapping Screws (87). • Install the two Wheel Covers (52) on the pedal arms above the Wheels with four M5 Phillips Head Screws (105). • Install the Front Handle Bar Covers (54 & 55) and Rear Handle Bar Covers (54-1 & 55-1) over the Swing Arm axle connections with six Self Tapping Screws (87).
Features Adjustable foot pedals and orthopedically correct foot pads. Through research performed with a leading sports scientist and physical rehabilitation expert, Spirit engineering has developed a breakthrough in pedal design. No other elliptical, at any price, offers these unique features. The history of elliptical use over the past few years tells us that many users suffer from numb toes while working out on elliptical trainers. Many other users complain of ankle, Achilles tendon, knee and/or hip pain.
Operation of Your Elliptical Getting familiar with the control panel Console Operation Quick Start 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 buttons. The dot matrix display will have only the bottom row lit at first.
Basic information The Message Window will initially be displaying Speed information. Each time the Enter button is pressed the next set of information will appear, four windows in all. In order: Speed in RPM and MPH, Work Level and Watts. If the Enter button is pressed during the Level and Watts display the Scan light will come on and the message window will show each set of data for four seconds then switch to the next set of data in a continuous loop.
HILL The Hill program simulates going up and down a hill. The resistance in the pedals will steadily increase and then decrease during the program. Work Profile FATBURN 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.
Strength The Strength program is designed to increase muscular strength in your lower body. This program will steadily increase in resistance to a high level and then keeps you there. This is designed to strengthen and tone your legs and glutes. Work Profile Interval The Interval program takes you through high levels of intensity followed by periods of low intensity. This program increases your endurance by depleting your oxygen level followed by periods of recovery to replenish oxygen.
picture on the screen will not change. The reason for this is so that you can see the entire profile at all times. If the profile picture is changed, it also would be distorted and not a true representation of the actual profile. When you make a change to the workload, the message window will show the current column and program maximum levels of work. 8. During the program you will be able to scroll through the data in the message window by pressing the Enter key. 9.
Heart Rate programs Before we get started, a word about Heart Rate: The old motto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits of exercising comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of heart rate monitors. With the proper use of a heart rate monitor, many people find that their usual choice of exercise intensity was either too high or too low and exercise is much more enjoyable by maintaining their heart rate in the desired benefit range.
Rate of Perceived Exertion Heart rate is important but listening to your body also has a lot of advantages. There are more variables involved in how hard you should workout than just heart rate. Your stress level, physical health, emotional health, temperature, humidity, the time of day, the last time you ate and what you ate, all contribute to the intensity at which you should workout. If you listen to your body, it will tell you all of these things.
Heart Rate Control Program operation You must have your hands in contact with the hand pulse sensors at all times for the heart rate program to work. To start the HRC program follow the instructions below or just select the HRC program then the Enter button and follow the directions in the message window. 1. Select the HRC program then press the Enter key. 2. The message window will ask you to enter your Weight.
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.
