After placing the cross-trainer in position, check the unit's stability by attempting
to rock it in all directions. Any slight rocking indicates that the unit must be leveled.
Determine which foot is not resting completely on the floor. Loosen the jam nut (A)
with an open-end 17mm wrench, and rotate the stabilizing foot (B) to lower it. Verify
that the cross-trainer is stable, and repeat the adjustment as necessary until the
unit no longer rocks. Lock the adjustment by tightening the jam nut against the
stabilizer bar. It is extremely important that the stabilizing leg be correctly
adjusted for proper operation.
PLUG IN THE CROSS-TRAINER
The cross-trainer comes with a standard power supply for the U.S., or a power
supply with country-specific line cords.
Insert the power adapter jack (C) into the barrel plug on the back of the cross-
trainer. Then insert the power supply into the wall outlet. Make sure the cord is

2.4 THE WIRELESS HEART RATE CHEST STRAP
The exercise bike is equipped with wireless, a heart rate monitoring system in which electrodes, pressed against the skin,
transfer heart rate signals to the exercise bike console. These electrodes are attached to a wireless heart rate chest strap
that the user wears during the workout. The chest strap is included with the exercise bike.
See the diagram below for correct positioning of the strap. The electrodes (A), which are the two grooved surfaces on the
underside of the strap, must remain wet to transmit accurately the electrical impulses of the heart back to the receiver. Moisten
the electrodes. Then, secure the strap as high under the chest muscles as possible. The strap should be snug, but comfortable
enough to allow for normal breathing.
The transmitter strap delivers an optimal heart rate reading when the electrodes are in direct contact with skin. However, it also
functions properly through a thin layer of wet clothing.
If it becomes necessary to re-moisten the chest strap electrodes, grasp the center of the strap, pull it away from the chest
to expose the two electrodes, and moisten them.

THE WORKOUTS
4.1 WORKOUT OVERVIEWS
This section lists the cross-trainer’s pre-programmed workouts. For more detailed information, see Section 4.2, titled
Setting Up and Using the Workouts.
QUICK START MANUAL MODE is the fastest way to begin exercising, and it bypasses the steps involved in selecting
a specific workout program. After the START key is pressed, a constant-level workout begins. The resistance level does
not change automatically.
INTERVAL combines “hills” and “valleys” of different resistance levels, which is proven to provide effective,
time-efficient cardiovascular results.
RANDOM is an interval training workout for which the user selects a computer-generated profile of varying intensity levels.
MANUAL is a workout in which the resistance level does not change automatically.
PEAK is intended to burn fat by building up to, and maintaining, a constant level of resistance throughout the workout.
SLOPE gradually increases the intensity throughout the workout duration. It is intended to strengthen the heart, as well
as the major muscle groups that are most active during the workout, such as the leg muscle groups.
CHALLENGE begins at a high resistance level and maintains this level throughout the duration.

USING WORKOUTS IN PROGRESS
The cross-trainer MANUAL program features 16 resistance levels, with “1” being the easiest and “16” being the most
difficult. The cross-trainer RANDOM, SLOPE, INTERVAL, PEAK, and CHALLENGE programs feature 9 difficulty levels,
with “1” being the easiest and “9” being the most difficult. While a workout is in progress, it is possible to change the
level of the overall workout. To do so, simply press the UP or DOWN arrow keys repeatedly until the DATA DISPLAY
window shows the desired level. That change remains in effect for the entire workout or until the level is changed again.
NOTE: The cross-trainer features speed-dependent braking resistance. For a set resistance level on the monitor,
the resistance increases with the user’s speed. The computer makes no adjustments to maintain the resistance level
based on the user’s speed.
PAUSING A WORKOUT
To pause a workout-in-progress, press the STOP key, or simply stop pedaling for 25 seconds. A workout can remain in
pause mode for a maximum duration of five minutes. If a paused workout is not resumed before the five-minute pause
duration ends, the console shuts down, and the paused workout information is lost. To resume a paused workout, press
the START key or simply begin pedaling again.
RESETTING A WORKOUT
To reset a workout, press the STOP key, and hold it for three seconds. This deletes the current workout and makes
it possible to set up a new workout.
REVIEWING A COMPLETED WORKOUT
When a workout reaches the end of its duration, the console emits four consecutive beeps. At this point, it is possible to review
summary data for the completed workout, including total calories burned and distance traveled, by pressing the SCROLL key
and reading the results in the DATA WINDOWS. Afterward, press the STOP key to return to the workout-select mode.

USING THE HEART RATE ZONE TO MAXIMIZE WORKOUT BENEFITS
Research shows that keeping the heart rate within a certain range while exercising promotes muscular and cardiovascular
conditioning for maximum health benefits. This range is between 60 percent and 85 percent of a given user’s theoretical
maximum heart rate. The maximum rate varies by age. To calculate it, subtract the user’s age from the number 220.
For example, the theoretical maximum heart rate for a 35-year-old user would be 185 beats per minute (bpm) because
220-35=185. Therefore, the optimal heart rate range or zone for a 35-year-old user would be between 111 bpm
(185 x .60) and 157 bpm (185 x .85).
NOTE: Consulting a fitness trainer is recommended for defining specific fitness goals and designing a workout program.
To monitor the heart rate during a workout, wear the wireless chest strap and monitor heart rate on the console.
SWITCHING THE CONSOLE DISPLAY TO METRIC UNITS
By default, the cross-trainer’s console displays the workout statistic of distance in English units. It is possible to switch
to metric units. When the console is shut down, remove the four screws that attach the console to the console support
assembly column. Carefully turn the console upside down and flip the “English/Metric” switch that appears in the back
of the console to the “Metric” setting. Re-attach the console to the support assembly column. Restart the cross-trainer.

SERVICE AND TECHNICAL DATA
5.1 PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE TIPS
The cross-trainer is backed by engineering excellence and is one of the most rugged and trouble-free pieces of exercise
equipment on the market today. The manufacturer’s products have proven to be durable in health clubs, colleges, military
facilities, and other locations the world over. This same technology, engineering expertise, and reliability have gone into the
cross-trainer.
NOTE: The safety of the equipment can be maintained only if the equipment is examined regularly for damage or wear.
If maintenance is required, keep the equipment out of use until defective parts are repaired or replaced.
Pay special attention to parts that are subject to wear as outlined in the Preventive Maintenance Schedule.
The following preventive maintenance tips will keep the cross-trainer operating at peak performance:
•
•
•
•
Locate the cross-trainer in a cool, dry place.
Clean the top surface of the pedals regularly.
Keep the display console free of fingerprints and salt build-up caused by sweat.
Use a 100% cotton cloth, lightly moistened with water and a mild liquid cleaning product, to clean the cross-trainer.
Other fabrics, including paper towels, may scratch the surface. Do not use ammonia or acid-based cleaners.
•
Long fingernails may damage or scratch the surface of the console; use the pad of the finger to press the selection
buttons on the console.
•
Clean the housing thoroughly on a regular basis.
NOTE: A non-abrasive cleaner and soft cotton cloth are strongly recommended for cleaning the exterior of the unit.
At no time should cleaner be applied directly to any part of the equipment; apply the non-abrasive cleaner
on a soft cloth, and then wipe the unit.
