Pull the transport handle until the elliptical exerciser will roll on the front wheels.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER Handlebars 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. Note: The pedal discs can turn in either direction. It is recommended that you turn the pedal discs in the direction shown by the arrow below; however, for variety, you can turn the pedal discs in the opposite direction.
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER If the elliptical exerciser rocks slightly on your floor during use, turn one or both of the leveling feet beneath the rear stabilizer until the rocking motion is eliminated.
CONSOLE DIAGRAM FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE prompt you to increase or decrease your pedaling pace while guiding you through an effective workout. The advanced console offers an array of features designed to make your workouts more effective and enjoyable. When you use the manual mode of the console, you can change the resistance of the pedals with the touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will provide continuous exercise feedback.
HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE 4. Follow your progress with the displays. Note: If there is a sheet of clear plastic on the face of the console, remove the plastic. The upper right display can show the elapsed time, the approximate number of calories you have burned, and the the distance (total revolutions) you have pedaled. The display will change modes every few seconds. 1. Press any button on the console or begin pedaling to turn on the console.
5. Measure your heart rate if desired. If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that your hands are positioned as described. Be careful not to move your hands excessively or to squeeze the metal contacts tightly. For optimal performance, clean the metal contacts using a soft cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals to clean the contacts. If there are sheets of clear Contacts plastic on the metal contacts on the handgrip pulse sensor, remove the plastic.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical exerciser regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately. If the console does not display correct feedback, the reed switch should be adjusted. First, see step 11 on page 10 and remove the link arms. Next, see step 4 on page 7 and remove the crank arms. To clean the elliptical exerciser, use a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap.
HOW TO ADJUST THE BELT Next, tighten the M8 x 35mm Screw (96) until the Belt 51 (51) is tight. Then, reattach the side shields, the crank arms, and the link arms. Note: If you have questions as 96 to which screw should be in which hole, see EXPLODED DRAWING B on page 27 and the PART LIST on page 24. If you can feel the pedals slip while you are pedaling, even when the resistance of the pedals is at the highest setting, the Belt (51) may need to be adjusted.
EXERCISE GUIDELINES WARNING: Before beginning Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses 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.
SUGGESTED STRETCHES The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right. Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce. 1 1. Toe Touch Stretch 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 2. Hamstring Stretch Sit with one leg extended.
