As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep  
your pedaling pace near the target rpm setting for  
the current segment. When the words PEDAL  
FASTER appear in the display, increase your  
pace. When the words PEDAL SLOWER appear  
in the display, decrease your pace. When the  
words PEDALING IN RANGE appear, maintain  
your current pace.  
To select a cross training program, press the  
Programs button repeatedly until the name of the  
desired cross training program appears in the dis-  
play. When a cross training program is selected,  
the program time will appear in the display and a  
profile of the resistance settings for the program  
will scroll across the matrix in the display.  
Important: The target rpm settings are intend-  
ed only to provide motivation. Your actual  
pace may be slower than the target rpm set-  
tings. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is  
comfortable for you.  
Begin pedaling to start the program.  
3
Each program is divided into 25, 30, or 45 one-  
minute segments. One resistance setting and one  
target rpm (revolutions per minute) setting are  
programmed for most segments. (Note: The same  
resistance and/or target rpm setting may be pro-  
grammed for two or more consecutive segments.)  
During other segments, the console will prompt you  
to perform strength exercises.  
If the resistance setting for the current segment is  
too high or too low, you can manually override the  
setting by pressing the Resistance decrease or  
increase buttons. Every few times you press a  
Resistance button, an additional indicator will  
appear or disappear in the Current Segment col-  
umn; if any of the columns to the right of the  
Current Segment column have the same number  
of lit indicators as the Current Segment column,  
an additional indicator may appear or disappear  
in those columns as well. Important: When the  
current segment of the program ends, the ellip-  
tical exerciser will automatically adjust to the  
resistance setting for the next segment.  
The resistance setting  
Current Segment  
for the first segment  
will be shown in the  
flashing Current  
Segment column of  
the matrix. The resis-  
tance settings for the next several segments will  
be shown in the columns to the right. The target  
rpm setting will appear in the top of the display.  
To stop the program at any time, stop pedaling.  
The time will begin to flash in the display. To  
restart the program, simply resume pedaling.  
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-  
ment of the program, both the Current Segment  
column and the column to the right will flash and  
a series of tones will sound. If the resistance  
and/or target rpm is about to change, the resis-  
tance setting and/or the target rpm setting will  
appear in the display to alert you.

regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.  
drive belt may need to be adjusted. To adjust the  
drive belt, first remove the screws from the left and  
right side shields (not shown). Gently pull the side  
shields apart and remove the convenience tray.  
To clean the elliptical exerciser, use a damp cloth and  
a small amount of mild soap. Important: To avoid  
damage to the console, keep liquids away from  
the console and keep the console out of direct  
sunlight.  
Next, locate the Idler Screw (68) and loosen it one  
half turn. Step onto the elliptical exerciser and move  
the pedals. If the pedals continue to slip, turn the Idler  
Screw another half turn and test the pedals again.  
Continue in this way until the pedals no longer slip.  
Then, replace the convenience tray and reattach the  
side shields.  
CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING  
If the console display becomes dim, the batteries  
should be replaced; most console problems are the  
result of low batteries. See assembly step 12 on page  
10 for replacement instructions.  
HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING  
If the console does not display your heart rate when  
you hold the handgrip pulse sensor, or if the displayed  
heart rate appears to be too high or too low, see step

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES  
WARNING:  
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.  
The proper intensity level can be found by using your  
heart rate as a guide.  
Before beginning this or any exercise pro-  
gram, consult your physician. This is espe-  
cially important for persons over the age of 35  
or persons with pre-existing health problems.  
The chart below shows recommended heart rates for  
fat burning, maximum fat burning, and cardiovascular  
(aerobic) exercise.  
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 determin-  
ing heart rate trends in general.  
The following guidelines will help you to plan your  
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition  
and adequate rest are essential for successful results.  
Each workout should include the following three parts:  
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age  
at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the  
nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers  
above your age. The three numbers are your “training  
zone.” The lowest number is the recommended heart  
rate for fat burning, the middle number is the recom-  
mended heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the  
highest number is the recommended heart rate for  
aerobic exercise.  
Warming Up—Begin each workout with 5 to 10 min-  
utes of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-  
up increases your body temperature, heart rate, and  
circulation in preparation for exercise.  
Training Zone Exercise—Each workout should con-  
sist of 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heart  
rate in your training zone. Note: During the first few  
weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your  
heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20 min-  
utes.  
Fat Burning—To burn fat effectively, you must exer-  
cise at a relatively low intensity level for a sustained  
period of time. During the first few minutes of exer-  
cise, 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 calo-  
ries 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 exer-  
cise. For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of  
your exercise until your heart rate is near the middle  
number in your training zone as you exercise.  
Cooling Down—End each workout with 5 to 10 min-  
utes of stretching. This will increase the flexibility of  
your muscles and will help to prevent post-exercise  
problems.  
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three  
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest  
between workouts. Schedule your workouts for the  
time of day when your energy level is the highest.  
After a few months of regular exercise, you may com-  
plete up to five workouts each week, if desired.  
Remember, the key to success is make exercise a  
regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.  
Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your  
cardiovascular system, your exercise must be “aero-  
bic.” Aerobic exercise is activity that requires large  
amounts of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. This  
increases the demand on the heart to pump blood to  
the muscles, and on the lungs to oxygenate the  
blood. For aerobic exercise, adjust the intensity of  
your exercise until your heart rate is near the highest  
number in your training zone.  
CARDIOVASCULAR TRAINING GUIDELINES  
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your  
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the  
21

STRENGTH TRAINING GUIDELINES  
To increase the size and strength of your muscles,  
you must work your muscles at a level close to their  
maximum capacity. Your muscles will adapt and grow  
as you progressively increase the amount of weight  
that you use. You can tone your muscles by working  
them at a moderate percentage of their capacity. The  
proper amount of weight to use for each strength exer-  
cise depends on you—you must gauge your limits and  
select an appropriate amount of weight.  
During strength exercises, you must maintain proper  
form for the best results. Maintaining proper form  
involves moving through the full range of motion for  
each exercise and moving only the appropriate parts  
of the body. Exercising in an uncontrolled manner will  
reduce the benefits of strength exercises. On the  
exercise chart accompanying this manual are pho-  
tographs showing the correct form for several strength  
exercises.  
It is important to avoid overdoing it during the first few  
months of your exercise program. Progress at your  
own pace and be sensitive to your body’s signals. If  
you experience pain or dizziness at any time while  
exercising, stop immediately and cool down. Find out  
what is wrong before continuing. Remember that ade-  
quate rest and a proper diet are important factors in  
any exercise program.  
Perform each repetition of each strength exercise  
smoothly and without pausing. The exertion phase of  
each repetition should last only about half as long as  
the return phase. Proper breathing is also important.  
Exhale during the exertion phase of each repetition  
and inhale during the return phase—never hold your  
breath.
