IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS  
WARNING:  
To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precau-  
tions before using the elliptical exerciser.  
1. Read all instructions in this manual and all  
warnings on the elliptical exerciser before  
using the elliptical exerciser.  
13.The pulse sensors are not medical devices.  
Various factors, including the user's move-  
ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate  
readings. The pulse sensors are intended  
only as exercise aids in determining heart  
rate trends in general.  
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure  
that all users of the elliptical exerciser are  
adequately informed of all precautions.  
14.When you stop exercising, allow the pedals  
to slowly come to a complete stop. The ellip-  
tical exerciser does not have a free wheel;  
the pedals will continue to move until the fly-  
wheel stops.  
3. Use the elliptical exerciser only as described  
in this manual.  
4. The elliptical exerciser is intended for home  
use only. Do not use the elliptical exerciser in  
a commercial, rental, or institutional setting.  
15.The battery pack contains materials that are  
considered hazardous to the environment.  
Proper disposal of the battery is required by  
federal law.  
5. Keep the elliptical exerciser indoors, away  
from moisture and dust. Place the elliptical  
exerciser on a level surface, with a mat be-  
neath it to protect the floor or carpet. Make  
sure that there is enough clearance around  
the elliptical exerciser to mount, dismount,  
and use it.  
16. The decal shown below has been placed on  
the elliptical exerciser. If the decal is missing  
or illegible, call the toll-free telephone num-  
ber on the front cover of this manual and  
order a free replacement decal. Apply the  
decal in the location shown.  
6. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-  
larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

from the elliptical exerciser at all times.  
8. The elliptical exerciser should not be used by  
persons weighing more than 350 pounds.  
9. Always hold the handlebars when mounting,  
dismounting, or using the elliptical exerciser.  
10. Keep your back straight when using the ellip-  
tical exerciser; do not arch your back.  
11.If you feel pain or dizziness while exercising,  
stop immediately and begin cooling down.  
12.Wear appropriate exercise clothes and ath-  
letic shoes while using the elliptical exer-  
ciser.

HOW TO USE THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR  
To get the best performance from the chest pulse sen-  
sor, please read the instructions below.  
side. Using a saline solution such as saliva or contact  
lens solution, wet both electrode areas. Then, return  
the sensor unit to a position against your chest.  
HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR  
CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING  
The chest pulse sensor consists of two components:  
the chest strap and the sensor unit. Follow the steps  
below to put on the chest pulse sensor.  
If the chest pulse sensor does not function prop-  
erly, or if the displayed heart rate is excessively  
high or low, try the steps below.  
• Make sure that the chest pulse sensor is worn ex-  
actly as described at the left. If the chest pulse sen-  
sor does not function when positioned as described,  
move it slightly lower or higher on your chest.  
Chest Strap  
Tab  
• Each time you use the chest pulse sensor, use  
saline solution such as saliva or contact lens solution  
to wet the two electrode areas on the sensor unit. If  
heart rate readings do not appear until you begin  
perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.

• Make sure that you are within arm’s length of the  
console. For the console to display heart rate  
readings, the user must be within arm’s length of  
the console.  
See the inset drawing above. Insert the tab on one end  
of the chest strap through the hole in one end of the  
sensor unit as shown. Make sure that the tab is flush  
with the sensor unit.  
• The chest pulse sensor is designed to work with  
people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate  
reading problems may be caused by medical condi-  
tions such as premature ventricular contractions  
(pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.

fected by magnetic interference caused by high  
power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that  
magnetic interference may be causing a problem,  
try relocating your exercise equipment.  
above. Adjust the length of the chest strap, if neces-  
sary. The chest pulse sensor should be under your  
clothing, against your skin, and as high under the pec-  
toral muscles or breasts as is comfortable. Make sure  
that the logo is facing forward and is right-side-up.  
• If the chest pulse sensor still does not function prop-  
erly, test the chest pulse sensor in the following way:

Next, hold the chest pulse sensor near the console.  
While holding one thumb stationary, begin tapping  
the other thumb against the electrode area at a rate  
of about one tap per second. Check the heart rate  
reading on the console.  
CHEST PULSE SENSOR CARE  
• Thoroughly dry the chest pulse sensor after each  
use. The chest pulse sensor is activated when the  
electrode areas are wetted and the chest pulse sen-  
sor is put on; the chest pulse sensor shuts off when  
it is removed and the electrode areas are dried. If  
the chest pulse sensor is not dried after each use, it  
may remain activated longer than necessary, drain-  
ing the battery prematurely.  
If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly  
after you have followed all of the above instructions,  
replace the battery in the following way:  
Locate the battery  
cover on the back of  
the sensor unit. Insert  
a coin into the slot in  
the cover, turn the  
cover counterclock-  
wise, and remove the  
cover.  
• Store the chest pulse sensor in a warm, dry place.  
Do not store the chest pulse sensor in a plastic bag  
or other container that may trap moisture.  
• Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct  
sunlight for extended periods of time. Do not expose  
the chest pulse sensor to temperatures above 122°  
Fahrenheit (50° Celsius) or below 14° Fahrenheit  
(-10° Celsius).  
Remove the old bat-  
tery and insert a new  
CR 2032 battery.  
• Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit  
when using or storing the chest pulse sensor.  
Make sure that the  
battery is turned so  
the writing is on  
top. Reattach the  
battery cover and  
turn it clockwise to  
close it.  
CR 2032  
Battery  
• Clean the sensor unit using a damp cloth—never  
use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. The chest  
strap may be hand washed and air dried.

ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER OPERATION  
HOW TO MOVE AND LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL  
EXERCISER  
CAUTION: To decrease the risk of injury, bend your  
legs and keep your back straight. Make sure to use  
your legs rather than your back to lift the elliptical  
exerciser. Do not attempt to move the elliptical exer-  
ciser over an uneven surface.  
Due to the size and weight of the elliptical exer-  
ciser, moving it requires two persons. With the help  
of another person, lift the handle on the rear of the el-  
liptical exerciser until the elliptical exerciser will roll on  
the front wheels. Carefully move the elliptical exerciser  
to the desired location and then lower it.  
If the elliptical exerciser rocks slightly on your floor, see  
the inset drawings and turn the levelling feet under the  
front and rear of the elliptical exerciser until the rocking  
motion is eliminated.  
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.  
Wheel  
To dismount the elliptical exerciser, wait until the ped-  
als come to a complete stop. The elliptical exerciser  
does not have a free wheel; the pedals will con-  
tinue to move until the flywheel stops. When the  
pedals are stationary, step off the highest pedal first.  
Then, step off the lowest pedal.

5
To use a heart rate program, you must wear the  
chest pulse sensor or use the handgrip pulse sen-  
sor. If you use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is not  
necessary to hold the handgrips continuously dur-  
ing the program; however, you should hold the  
handgrips frequently for the program to operate  
properly. Each time you hold the handgrips,  
keep your hands on the metal contacts for at  
least 30 seconds. Note: When you are not hold-  
ing the handgrips, the letters PLS will flash in the  
Heart Rate display instead of your heart rate.  
Each heart rate program helps you to keep your heart  
rate near target heart rate settings during your workout.  
Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.  
Turn on the console.

To select a heart rate program, press the Quick  
Programs button numbered 1 or 2.  
Press the Start button to start the program.  
Heart rate program 1 is divided into 30 one-  
minute segments. One target heart rate setting is  
programmed for each segment. Note: The same  
target heart rate setting may be programmed for  
two or more consecutive segments.  
If heart rate program 1 is selected, a profile of  
the target heart rate settings of the program will

to change the maximum target heart rate setting  
(see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 20). If you  
change the maximum target heart rate setting, the  
profile in the matrix will change to show the new  
target heart rate settings.  
Heart rate program 2 is divided into 40 one-  
minute segments. The same target heart rate set-  
ting is programmed for all segments. Note: For a  
shorter workout, stop exercising or select a differ-  
ent program before the program ends.  
If heart rate program 2 is selected, the target  
heart rate setting for the entire program will flash  
in the Heart Rate display. If desired, press the in-  
crease and decrease buttons above the Set Heart  
Rate indicator to change the target heart rate set-  
ting (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 20).

During both heart rate programs, the console  
will regularly compare your heart rate to the target  
heart rate setting. If your heart rate is too far  
below or above the target heart rate setting, the  
resistance of the pedals will automatically in-  
crease or decrease to bring your heart rate closer  
to the target heart rate setting.  
Note: During the program, you can manually over-  
ride the resistance setting, if desired, with the  
Quick Resistance buttons. However, when the  
console compares your heart rate to the target  
heart rate setting, the resistance of the pedals  
may automatically increase or decrease to bring  
your heart rate closer to the target heart rate set-  
ting.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING  
Most problems can be solved by following the simple steps below. Find the symptom that applies, and fol-  
low the steps listed. If further assistance is needed, please see the front cover of this manual.  
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE  
5. SYMPTOM: THE CONSOLE TURNS OFF AS  
SOON AS YOU STOP PEDALING  
Inspect and properly tighten all external parts of the el-  
liptical exerciser. Clean the elliptical exerciser with a  
small amount of mild multi-purpose cleaner applied to  
a 100% cotton cloth. When cleaning the elliptical exer-  
ciser, pay special attention to the track and the wheels.  
Remove all debris from the track. Clean the pedal cov-  
ers with a soft nylon brush. Do not use acidic clean-  
ers. Never spray any cleaner directly onto the ellip-  
tical exerciser.  
If the console turns off as soon as you stop pedal-  
ing, the battery pack may not be charged. The  
longer you pedal, the longer the battery pack will re-  
tain a charge. It may be necessary to pedal for a  
few minutes to charge the battery pack each time  
you exercise. If the console turns off as soon as you  
stop pedaling, even after you have pedaled for sev-  
eral minutes, call the toll-free telephone number on  
the front cover of this manual immediately.  
TROUBLESHOOTING  
6. SYMPTOM: THE PEDALS SLIP DURING USE  
1. SYMPTOM: THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER IS  
NOT LEVEL  
If the pedals slip during use, the drive belt is slipping.  
Follow the instructions below to adjust the tension of  
the drive belt.  
If the elliptical exerciser rocks slightly during use,  
see HOW TO MOVE AND LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL  
EXERCISER on page 12.  
First, remove the  
two M6 x 16mm  
Button Screws (49)  
attaching the left  
Pedal Disk (5).  
Without removing  
the Pedal Disk,  
pivot it out of the  
way.

2. SYMPTOM: THE PULSE SENSOR DOES NOT  
FUNCTION PROPERLY  
If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly,  
see CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOT-  
ING on pages 10 and 11.

If the handgrip pulse sensor does not function prop-  
erly, see step 5 on page 14.  
Next, locate the  
M10 Flange Nut  
(95). Turn the  
3. SYMPTOM: THE PEDAL DISKS RUB AGAINST  
THE SIDE SHIELDS  
Flange Nut clock-  
wise until the ped-  
als no longer slip  
during the power  
stroke.

If a pedal disk rubs against a side shield, loosen the  
side shield mounting screws and move the side  
shield slightly until the pedal disk stops rubbing.  
Then, retighten the side shield mounting screws.  
Reattach the Pedal Disk (5).  
4. SYMPTOM: THE PEDAL WHEELS SQUEAK  
If the pedal wheels squeak, use a 100% cotton cloth  
to remove debris from the track and the wheels. If  
the pedal wheels continue to squeak, apply a light  
coat of silicone-based lubricant to the track.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES  
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body  
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for en-  
ergy. 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 ex-  
ercise until your heart rate is near the lowest number  
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 sensors are not medical devices.  
Various factors, including the user's move-  
ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate  
readings. The pulse sensors are intended  
only as exercise aids 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 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  
as you exercise.  
The following guidelines will help you to plan your ex-  
ercise 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 de-  
sired 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 burn-  
ing, 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 be-  
tween 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 rela-  
tively low intensity level for a sustained period of time.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES  
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right.  
Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.  
1
1. Toe Touch Stretch  
Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward  
from your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you  
reach down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15  
counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back  
of knees, and back.  
2
2. Hamstring Stretch  
Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot to-  
ward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg.  
Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts,  
then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Hamstrings,  
lower back, and groin.  
3. Calf/Achilles Stretch  
3
With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your  
hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back  
foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move  
your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat  
3 times for each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles  
tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles  
tendons, and ankles.  
4
4. Quadriceps Stretch  
With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp  
one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your  
buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3  
times for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
