HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Due to the size and weight of the elliptical exerciser, moving it requires two persons.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER Upper Body Arms To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the upper body arms and step onto the pedal that is in the lower position. Then, step onto the other pedal. Push the pedals until they begin to move with a continuous motion. Note: The discs can turn in either direction. It is recommended that you turn the discs in the direction shown by the arrow; however, for variety, you can turn the discs in the opposite direction.
CONSOLE DIAGRAM FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE The console features the iFit interactive workout system, which enables the console to accept iFit cards containing workouts designed to help you achieve specific fitness goals. For example, lose unwanted pounds with the 8-week Weight Loss workout. iFit workouts control the resistance of the pedals while the voice of a personal trainer coaches you through your workouts. iFit cards are available separately. To purchase iFit cards, go to www.iFit.
3. Change the resistance of the pedals and the incline of the ramp as desired. HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER IMPORTANT: If the elliptical exerciser has been exposed to cold temperatures, allow it to warm to room temperature before turning on the power. If you do not do this, you may damage the console displays or other electrical components. Plug in the power cord (see HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD on page 13). Next, locate the reset/off switch on the frame near the power cord.
The upper display—This display can show the elapsed time, the distance that you have pedaled, your pedaling speed, and the approximate number of calories you have burned. When your pulse is detected, a flashing heart symbol will appear in the display, and then your heart rate will appear. For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the contacts for at least 15 seconds. Note: If you continue to hold the handgrip pulse sensor, the display will show your heart rate for up to 30 seconds.
HOW TO USE A PRESET WORKOUT As you exercise, keep your pedaling speed near the target speed for the current segment. At the beginning of each segment, the target speed for the segment will flash in the display. 1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the console to turn on the console. See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 16. 2. Select a preset workout.
HOW TO USE AN IFIT WORKOUT HOW TO USE THE SOUND SYSTEM iFit cards are available separately. To purchase iFit cards, go to www.iFit.com or see the front cover of this manual. iFit cards are also available at select stores. To play music or audio books through the console sound system while you exercise, plug the included audio cable into the jack on the console and into a jack on your MP3 player or CD player; make sure that the audio cable is fully plugged in. 1.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical exerciser regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately. If the pedals slip while you are pedaling, even while the resistance is adjusted to the highest level, the drive belt may need to be adjusted. To clean the elliptical exerciser, use a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap.
HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH Locate the Reed Switch (38). Rotate the Pulley (19) until a Magnet (43) is aligned with the Reed Switch. Next, loosen but do not remove the indicated M4 x 16mm Screw (104). Slide the Reed Switch slightly closer to or away from the Magnet. Then, retighten the Screw. Turn the Pulley for a moment. Repeat until the console displays correct feedback. If the console does not display correct feedback, the reed switch should be adjusted.
EXERCISE GUIDELINES WARNING: 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.
