BEFORE YOU BEGIN tions after reading this manual, please call our Customer Service Department at 08457 089 009. To help us assist you, please note the product model number and serial number before calling. The model number is PFEVEL36020. The serial number can be found on a decal attached to the elliptical crosstrainer (see the front cover of this manual for the location of the decal).

ASSEMBLY Assembly requires two persons. Place all parts of the elliptical crosstrainer in a cleared area and remove the packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. In addition to the included allen wrenches, assembly requires a phillips screwdriver , an adjustable spanner , and a rubber mallet . As you assemble the elliptical crosstrainer, use the drawings below to identify the small parts used in assembly.
1. Identify the Front Stabiliser (3), which has Wheels (32) attached to it. While another person lifts the front of the Frame (1), attach the Front Stabiliser to the Frame with two M10 x 112mm Carriage Bolts (34) and two M10 Nylon Locknuts (29). Make sure that the Front Stabiliser is turned so the Wheels are not touching the floor. 1 32 34 32 3 1 29 2.
5. The Console (5) requires four 1.5V “D” batteries; alkaline batteries are recommended. Refer to the inset drawing. Press the tab on the battery cover, and lift off the battery cover. Insert four batteries into the battery compartment. Make sure that the batteries are turned as shown by the diagram in the battery compartment. Reattach the battery cover.
8. Identify the Left Pedal (13). Attach the Left Pedal to the left Pedal Spring (14) with an Adjustment Bolt (20), an M10 Washer (38), and an Adjustment Knob (15) as shown. Note: The Left Pedal can be attached in several positions using the five positions in the Left Pedal and the three holes in the Pedal Spring (see HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDALS on page 10). Attach the Right Pedal (not shown) in the same way. Make sure that both Pedals are in the same hole and in the same pedal position.
HOW TO USE THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING 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. If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly, or if the displayed heart rate is excessively high or low, try the troubleshooting steps below. • Make sure that you are wearing the chest pulse sensor as described at the left.
• 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: 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 sensor is put on; the chest pulse sensor shuts off when it is removed and the electrode areas are dried.
HOW TO OPERATE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDALS To dismount the elliptical crosstrainer, wait until the pedals come to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical crosstrainer does not have a free wheel; the pedals will continue to move until the flywheel stops. When the pedals are stationary, step off the highest pedal first. Then, step off the lowest pedal. The motion of the pedals is determined by their position on the pedal springs.
A B C D E F G H L I K J FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE 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 crosstrainer can be adjusted with a touch of a button. As you pedal, the console will provide continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor or the chest pulse sensor.
CONSOLE DESCRIPTION G. Pace indicators—When the manual mode is selected, only the left pace indicator will appear. This indicator will show your pedalling pace. As you increase or decrease your pace, the indicator will increase or decrease in height. When a program is selected, both pace indicators will appear. The left indicator will show your actual pedalling pace, and the right indicator will show a target pace.
onds. When a program is selected, the display will show the time remaining in the program instead of the elapsed time. HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE 1 Turn on the console. If desired, you can select a single feedback mode for continuous display. Press the Display button repeatedly until only the MPH (or Km/H), Time, Resist., Cals., Miles (or Kms), or Watts indicator appears in the display. Make sure that the Scan indicator does not appear.

The target pace settings for the program will be shown by the right pace indicaIncrease Arrow tor in the display. (The left indicator will show your actual pedalling pace.) As the right indicator changes in height during the program, adjust your pace so that both indicators are at the same height. If your pace is slower than the current target pace, the increase arrow will appear in the display to prompt you to increase your pace; if your pace is faster than the target pace, the decrease arrow will appear.
4 HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM To use a heart rate program, you must use the handgrip pulse sensor or wear the chest 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 operate properly. Each time you hold the handgrips, keep your hands on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds.

If your pace is slower than the current target pace, the increase arrow will appear in the display; if your pace is faster than the target pace, the decrease arrow will appear. Important: The target pace is intended only to provide a goal.
As you pedal, the pace indicators will help you to keep your power output near the target watts level. The left indicator will show your actual pedalling pace. The right indicator will show a target pace. As you pedal, the console will compare your power output to the target watts level. If necessary, the right indicator will then change in height to prompt you to increase or decrease your pace to bring your power output closer to the target watts level.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical crosstrainer regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately. HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING • Avoid moving your hands whilst using the handgrip pulse sensor. Excessive movement may interfere with heart rate readings. Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so may interfere with heart rate readings. To clean the elliptical crosstrainer, use a damp cloth and a small amount of mild dish soap.
CONDITIONING GUIDELINES During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for energy. 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 number in your training zone as you exercise. WARNING: • Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician.
