3 Initial Setup Read the entire User Manual before setting up the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer. Note: This Total Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer is speed independent. Resistance can be adjusted by means other than speed. DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service-man if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
The Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer is equipped with front and rear wheels so that it is simple to push or pull the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer to its final destination. To use the wheels make sure that the levelers are twisted up far enough so that all wheels (A) can engage with the floor. Once the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer is properly positioned, allow enough space in the front of the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer for the movement of the pedal levers.
Powering Up the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer (E1 & E3 ONLY) Your Life Fitness Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer may come with either a U.S. power supply or one of several international power supplies. Insert the appropriate power adapter jack into the connector (C) on the back of the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer. Then Insert the plug into the wall outlet. Make sure the cord is placed so it doesn’t bind and will not be walked on. Then check that the console lights up.
4 Main Features 4.1 Contact Heart Rate The E1 includes hand pulse sensors on the stationary handlebar that are a built-in heart rate monitoring system. E3 and E5 have hand pulse sensors on a stationary handlebar and moving handles. During a workout grasp the hand pulse sensors to monitor your heart rate. We recommend using the heart rate chest strap provided with your console during workouts and using the hand pulse sensors to only occasionally monitor your heart rate when not using the chest strap.
5 CoachZone™ (E3 Only) 5.1 CoachZone™ Overview The CoachZone™ is designed to provide extra workout variety and motivation through additional instruction and feedback. The ArmToner and GluteToner workout enhancements help users target specific muscle groups and break the workout into manageable increments. The appropriate muscle groups that you should be using will illuminate when you perform specific movements. The UP/DOWN level arrow keys are a convenient way for users to change difficulty levels.
5.3 ArmToner™ The ArmToner selection utilizes a pre-programmed series of prompts and intervals focused on upper-body muscles. Activate ArmToner Press the ArmToner key during any workout to activate the selection. Pause ArmToner Press the ArmToner key once while using the ArmToner selection. PAU will display on the CoachZone Timer. Press the ArmToner key again to resume. The CoachZone automatically shuts off if the ArmToner key isn’t pressed within 5 minutes.
5.4 GluteToner™ The GluteToner selection utilizes a pre-programmed series of prompts and intervals focused on lower body muscles and glutes. Activate GluteToner Press the GluteToner key during any workout to activate the selection. Pause GluteToner Press the GluteToner key once while using the GluteToner selection. PAU will display on the CoachZone Timer. Press the GluteToner key again to resume. Stop GluteToner Press and hold the GluteToner key while using the GluteToner selection.
5.5 Timer The amber LED timer breaks workouts into manageable increments by displaying a count down of the time remaining on specific movements. When the timer reaches zero, the Coach LEDs will change. Slow your movement to a complete stop, and begin the next interval. 5.6 Resistance Level & Intensity Level Key Press The Resistance Level UP/DOWN Arrow Keys only function after a user selects and begins a workout using the E3 main console.
6 Activity Zone (E5 Only) The E5 Activity Zone places the most used keys and display attributes closer to the user so that it is more convenient to make adjustments during a workout. Think of the Activity Zone as cruise control settings on your car steering wheel. The controls are placed in a location that is easily reachable to make driving safer and more convenient or in this case to make exercise safer and more convenient.
6.2 Resistance Level & Intensity Level Functionality Key Press The Resistance Level Up/Down keys will ONLY function after a workout has been selected and started on the main console. The level keys control the actual brake resistance level (1-20) during a QUICK START or MANUAL workout and an overall difficulty level (1-20 with corresponding ranges for each level) when in the RANDOM, HILL, EZ INCLINE, and SPORTS TRAINING programs.
Key Press The Leg Sculptor Mode key is used to turn the mode on or off. It can be pressed at any time, although it is recommended to use the Leg Sculptor mode after a workout has been selected. See the Leg Sculptor Mode section for more detailed information. Note: If you stop pedaling for 30 seconds, the Leg Sculptor mode will be deactivated.

This feature can be enabled to prevent repeated overuse of actuator.
8 Service and Product Maintenance 8.1 TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM CAUSE / SOLUTION Check to see that the power cord is fully plugged into the back of the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer and into the wall. Make sure the power cord is fully seated into the back of the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer. No power. You may be in “Energy Saver Mode”. Press the “Energy Saver” button to see if the console turns on. Verify that all customer assembly connections are working properly.
Be sure to grasp the sensors firmly and keep hands still. If heart rate seems substantially higher or lower than expected, remove hands from sensors until heart rate disappears. The contact heart rate sensors are not reading my heart rate correctly. Tips for contact heart rate: 1. Dry hands to prevent slipping on the sensors. 2. Apply hands to all four sensors (two in each hand). 3. Grasp sensors firmly. 4. Apply constant pressure to the sensors. 5. May need to wait longer for heart rate to display.
iPod is not charging while in Energy Saver mode. Note: Applies to Track+ Console only. Your iPod will not charge if the cross-trainer enters Energy Saver mode. This is normal. ”Low Battery” message is displayed on the console. Note: Applies to Track+ Console only. The console has an internal battery that keeps the real time clock functioning if the crosstrainer is unplugged. This real time clock is only needed if you use the Life Fitness ”Virtual Trainer” website.
