HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER
PLUGGING IN THE POWER CORD
Plug the power cord
into a surge protector
(not included), and
plug the surge protec-
tor into a 120-volt out-
let. The displays and
various indicators on
the console will light
and a tone will sound.
Note: To decrease the possibility of damaging your
machine, always use a surge protector. Each time
the power cord is plugged in, the incline frame will
move to the lowest position. In addition, the
incline frame may automatically move up and
down as the elliptical crosstrainer goes through a
calibration sequence.
Please read through all instructions in this section
before using the elliptical crosstrainer.
EXERCISING ON THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER
To mount the elliptical crosstrainer, hold the handlebar
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 disks can turn in either direction. It is
recommended that you move the pedal disks in
the direction shown by the arrow below; however,
to give variety to your exercise, you may choose
to turn the pedal disks in the opposite direction.
To dismount the elliptical crosstrainer, wait until the
pedals come to a complete stop. CAUTION: The ellip-
tical crosstrainer does not have a freewheel; 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.
FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers a selection of features
designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and
effective. When the console is in the manual mode,
the incline and resistance of the elliptical crosstrainer
can be adjusted with a touch of a button. As you exer-
cise, the LED matrix and displays will provide continu-
ous exercise feedback. You can even measure your
heart rate using the built-in pulse sensor.
The console also offers ten preset workout programs:
four incline programs automatically control the incline
of the elliptical crosstrainer as they guide you through
effective workouts, four resistance programs automati-
cally control the resistance of the elliptical crosstrainer,
and two combination programs control both the incline
and the resistance during your workouts.
Note: The console can display distance and speed
in either miles or kilometers (see step 4 on page 8).
For simplicity, all instructions in this section refer
to miles.
Pedal Pedal Disk
CAUTION:
Before operating the
console, read the following precautions.
• Always hold the handlebar when mounting,
dismounting, or using the elliptical
crosstrainer.
• When you stop exercising, allow the pedals
to slowly come to a stop.
• Keep your feet and objects from beneath the
elliptical crosstrainer.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, keep
the console dry. Avoid spilling liquid on the
console and use only a sealable water bottle.
• The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is
intended only as an exercise aid in deter-
mining heart rate trends in general.
