ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER OPERATION
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in
place by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle out-
let box covers are not grounded. Contact a quali-
fied electrician to determine if the outlet box cover
is grounded before using an adapter.

provides a
path of least
resistance for
electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This prod-
uct is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug the
power cord into an appropriate outlet that is prop-
erly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances. This product is for
use on a nominal 120-volt circuit. Important: The
elliptical exerciser is not compatible with GFCI-
equipped outlets.
Note: When the power cord is plugged in, the ellip-
tical exerciser’s incline system may automatically
calibrate itself. During the calibration process, two
dashes (– –) will appear in the Ramp display
while the ramp rises to the highest position and
then moves down to the lowest position. The cali-
bration process may last for one to two minutes. If
the incline system does not calibrate itself, see
HOW TO CALIBRATE THE INCLINE SYSTEM on
page 22.

EXERCISING ON THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
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.
DANGER:
Improper connection of
the equipment-grounding conductor can result
in an increased risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or serviceman if
you are in doubt as to whether the product is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the product—if it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qual-
ified electrician.

will automatically turn off.
The program will continue until the target heart
rate setting for the last segment is shown in the
Current Segment column of the matrix and the
last segment ends.
See step 8 on page 12.
Note: During the program, you can manually over-
ride the resistance setting for the current seg-
ment, if desired, with the Quick Resistance but-
tons. However, when the console compares your

then move one column to the left, and the resis-
tance setting for the second segment will be
shown in the flashing Current Segment column.
Program a resistance setting and a pace setting
for the second segment as described above.
HOW TO CREATE AND USE A CUSTOM
PROGRAM
Turn on the console.
1
See step 1 on page 11.
Continue programming resistance and pace set-
tings for as many segments as desired; custom
programs can have up to 40 segments. The resis-
tance and pace settings that you have pro-
grammed will be saved in memory.
Select one of the two custom programs.
2
To select one of the
two custom programs,
press the Programs
button repeatedly until
the Custom indicator
lights.
Press the Start button or begin pedaling to
start the program.
4
The custom program will function in almost the
same way as a preset program (see steps 3 and
5 on page 13).
Note: If the custom program has not yet been
defined, see step 3 to create the program. If
the program is already defined, see step 4 to
use the program.
If desired, you can redefine the program while
using it. To change the resistance or pace set-
ting for the current segment, simply press the
Quick Resistance buttons or change your pedal-
ing pace to the new desired pace. When the cur-
rent segment ends, the new setting will be saved
in memory.
Press the Start button or begin pedaling to
create the program.
3
Refer to the matrix.
Each custom pro-
gram is divided into
40 one-minute seg-
ments. One resis-
tance setting and
one pace setting
can be pro-
grammed for each
segment. The resis-
tance setting for the
first segment will be
shown in the flash-
ing Current
Segment column of the matrix. (The pace settings
are not shown in the matrix.) To program a resis-
tance setting and a pace setting for the first seg-
ment, simply adjust the resistance of the pedals
as desired by pressing the Quick Resistance but-
tons, and pedal at the desired pace.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the elliptical
exerciser regularly. Replace any worn parts immedi-
ately.
HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
Stand behind the elliptical exerciser and hold the indi-
cated handle firmly. Lift the handle until the elliptical
exerciser can be moved on the front wheels, and
carefully move the elliptical exerciser to the desired
location. Then, carefully lower the elliptical exerciser.
Due to the size and weight of the elliptical exercis-
er, use extreme caution while lifting, moving, and
lowering it.
For smooth
operation of the
elliptical exer-
ciser, inspect
and clean the
ramp regularly

cloth and mild
detergent.
Other parts of
the elliptical

also be cleaned
in this way. Keep liquids off the console. Never use
abrasives or solvents.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener-
gy. 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 num-
ber in your training zone as you exercise.
WARNING:
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 pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors, including the user's move-
ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
readings. The pulse sensor is intended only
as an exercise aid in determining heart rate
trends in general.
For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the middle num-
ber in your training zone as you exercise.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-
tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exer-
cise 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 as you exercise.
The following guidelines will help you to plan your
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition
and adequate rest are essential for successful results.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.
The proper intensity level can be found by using your
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom-
mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat
burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your
body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in prepa-
ration for exercise.
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 min-
utes of exercising with your heart rate in your training
zone. (During the first few weeks of your exercise
program, do not keep your heart rate in your training
zone for longer than 20 minutes.)
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This
will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will
help to prevent post-exercise problems.
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
near 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 lower two numbers are recommended
heart rates for fat burning; the highest number is the
recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. After a few months of regular exer-
cise, you may complete up to five workouts each week
if desired. The key to success is to make exercise a
regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
Fat Burning
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative-
ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
