Features  
Correctly aligned orthopedic foot pads  
Through research performed with a leading sports scientist and physical rehabilitation expert, FUEL  
engineering has developed a breakthrough in pedal design. No other elliptical, at any price, offers  
these unique features. The history of elliptical use over the past few years tells us that many users  
suffer from numb toes while working out on elliptical trainers. Many other users complain of ankle,  
Achilles tendon, knee and/or hip pain. While researching a solution to these common problems  
FUEL engineers consulted Richard DeKok, P.T., M.T.C., of St. Bernards Industrial Rehabilitation  
Center in Jonesboro Arkansas.  
Together we identified the inherent problem in elliptical designs and developed solutions to solve  
the problems. What we found is that when you use an elliptical you tend to push outward during the  
power stroke and not just straight back. This causes stress on the outer part of the foot and throws  
off the natural alignment of the joints. The solution was to add a 2-degree inward angle to the  
footpads. This might sound simple but what it does is straighten the users joints back into a neutral  
alignment. This eases the over stressing of the ankles, knees and hips.  
Transportation  
The elliptical is equipped with two transport wheels, which are engaged when the rear of  
the Elliptical is lifted.

Operation of Your Elliptical  
Getting familiar with the control panel  
ș FE46 Console  
Power up  
The Elliptical is supplied with an external power supply. When power is connected to the Elliptical,  
the console will automatically power up. If there is no input to the console for 20 minutes the  
console will go to stand-by mode. In stand-by mode the console display will turn off. To turn the  
console on press any key.  
When initially powered on the console will perform an internal self-test. During this time all the lights  
will turn on. When the lights go off the dot matrix display will show a software version (i.e.: VER 1.0)  
and the message window will display an odometer reading. The odometer reading displays how  
many hours the elliptical has been used and how many virtual miles the elliptical has gone. The  
time in hours will be to the left and the odometer in miles will be displayed to the right.  
The odometer will remain displayed for only a few seconds, then the console will go to the start up  
display. The dot matrix display will be scrolling through the different workout profiles of the  
programs and the message window will be scrolling the start up message. You may now begin to  
use the console.

Console Operation  
Quick Start mode  
This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers up you just press the Start key  
to begin, this will initiate the Quick Start mode. In Quick Start the Time will count up from zero and  
the workload may be adjusted manually by pressing the Up or Down button. The dot matrix display  
will show a 1/4-mile track with a lap counter in the center to monitor your progress.  
Basic information and functions:  
The Message Window:  
Will initially be displaying the Time, Program name and Distance (in miles). Each time the Enter  
button is pressed the next set of information will appear, three sets of data in all. The next set of  
information displayed is: Speed (in mph), RPM (pedaling speed) and Watts (indication of work  
level). The third set displayed is: Calories, Level (work level from 1-20) and Pulse (heart rate in  
beats per minute). Pressing the Display key one more time will set the display to scan mode where  
the data will change every 4 seconds.  
The Elliptical has a built in heart rate monitoring system. Simply grasping the hand pulse sensors  
on the stationary handle bars will start the heart Icon blinking (this may take a few seconds). The  
Pulse Display Window will display your heart rate, or Pulse, in beats per minute.  
The Stop/Reset button actually has several functions. Pressing the Stop/Reset key once during a  
program will Pause the program for 5 minutes. If you need to get a drink, answer the phone or any  
of the many things that could interrupt your workout, this is a great feature. To resume your workout  
during Pause just press the Start key. If the Stop/Reset button is pressed twice during a workout the  
program will end and a summary of your workout is displayed. If the Stop/Reset key is held down  
for 3 seconds the console will perform a complete Reset. During data entry for a program the  
Stop/Reset key performs a Previous Screen function. This allows you to go back one step in the  
programming each time you press the Stop/Reset key.  
There is an Audio Input Jack on the front of the console and built-in speakers. You may plug any  
low-level audio source signal into this port. Audio sources include MP3, Ipod, portable radio, CD  
player or even a TV or computer audio signal.  
Programming the console  
Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to suit your  
needs. Some of the information asked for is necessary to ensure the readouts are correct. You will  
be asked for your Age and Weight. Entering your Age is necessary during the Heart Rate control  
program to ensure the correct settings are entered in the program. Entering your Weight aides in  
calculating a more correct Calorie reading. Although we cannot provide an exact calorie count we  
do want to be as close as possible.  
A message about Calories: Calorie readings on every piece of exercise equipment, whether it is  
in a gym or at home, are not accurate and tend to vary widely. They are meant only as a guide to  
monitor your progress from workout to workout. The only way to measure your calorie burn  
accurately is in a clinical setting connected to a host of machines. This is because every person is  
different and burns calories at a different rate.

Entering a program/Changing Settings  
Press each program key to scroll through the program selections. The profile for each program will  
be displayed in the dot matrix window. Press the enter key to select a program and begin  
customizing the settings. If you want to workout without entering new settings then just press the  
Start key. This will bypass the programming of data and take you directly to the start of your  
workout. If you want to change the personal settings then just follow the instructions in the  
message window. If you start a program without changing the settings, the default settings will be  
used.  
NOTE: Age and Weight default settings will change when you enter a new number. So the last Age  
and Weight entered will be saved as the new default settings. If you enter your Age and Weight the  
first time you use the Elliptical you will not have to enter it every time you work out unless either  
your Age or Weight changes or someone else enters a different Age and Weight.  
Programming:  
Manual  
The Manual program works as the name implies, manually. This means that you control the  
workload yourself and not the computer.  
1. Press the Manual program button then press the Enter key.  
2. The message window will ask you to enter your Weight. You may adjust the weight setting  
using the Up and Down keys, then press the Enter key to accept the new number and  
proceed on to the next screen.  
3. You are now asked to enter your Age. You may adjust the age setting using the Up and  
Down keys then press enter to continue.  
4. Next is the Time. You may adjust the Time and press enter to continue.  
5. Now you are finished editing the settings and can begin your workout by pressing the Start  
key. You can also go back and modify your settings by pressing the Stop key to go back one  
level of the programming screen.  
6. Once the program starts the elliptical will be set to level one. This is the easiest level and it is  
a good idea to stay at level one for a while to warm up. If you want to increase the work load  
at any time press the Up key; the Down key will decrease the workload.  
7. During the Manual program you will be able to scroll through the data in the message  
window by pressing the ENTER key.  
8. When the program ends the message window will show a summary of your workout. The  
summary will be displayed for a short time, then the console will return to the start-up  
display.  
Preset Programs  
The Elliptical has five different programs that have been designed for a variety of workouts. These  
five programs have factory preset profiles for achieving different goals.  
HILL  
The Hill program simulates going up and down a hill. The resistance in the pedals will steadily  
increase and then decrease during the program.  
17

Fat Burn  
The Fat Burn program is designed, as the name implies, to maximize the burning of fat. There are  
many schools of thought on the best way to burn fat but most experts agree that a lower exertion  
level that stays at a steady workload is the best. The absolute best way to burn fat is to keep your  
heart rate at around 60% to 70% of its maximum potential. This program does not use heart rate  
but simulates a lower, steady exertion workout.  
Cardio  
The Cardio program is designed to increase your Cardio vascular function. This is exercise for  
your heart and lungs. It will build up your heart muscle and increase blood flow and lung capacity.  
This is achieved by incorporating a higher level of exertion with slight fluctuations in work.  
Strength  
The Strength program is designed to increase muscular strength in your lower body. This program  
will steadily increase in resistance to a high level and then keeps you there. This is designed to  
strengthen and tone your legs and glutes.  
Interval  
The Interval program takes you through high levels of intensity followed by periods of low intensity.  
This program increases your endurance by depleting your oxygen level followed by periods of  
recovery to replenish oxygen. Your cardio vascular system gets programmed to use oxygen more  
efficiently this way.  
Programming Preset Programs:  
1. Select the desired program button then press the Enter key.  
2. The message window will ask you to enter your Weight. You may adjust the weight setting,  
using the Up and Down keys, then press the Enter key to accept the new number and proceed  
on to the next screen.  
3. You are now asked to enter your Age. You may adjust the age number using the Up and Down  
keys, then press enter to continue.  
4. Next is Time. You may adjust the Time and press enter to continue.  
5. Now you are asked to adjust the Max Level. This is the peak exertion level you will experience  
during the program (at the top of the hill). Adjust the level and then press enter.  
6. Now you are finished editing the settings and can begin your workout by pressing the Start key.  
You can also go back and modify your settings by pressing the Stop key to go back one level,  
or screen.  
7. If you want to increase or decrease the workload at any time during the program press the Up  
or Down key. This will change the entire program profile.  
8. During the program you will be able to scroll through the data in the message window by  
pressing the Enter key.  
9. When the program ends the message window will show a summary of your workout. The  
summary will be displayed for a short time, then the console will return to the start-up display.

Maintenance:  
1. Wipe down all areas in the sweat path with a damp cloth after each workout.  
2. If a squeak, thump, clicking or rough feeling develops the main cause is most likely one of two  
reasons:  
i.  
The hardware was not sufficiently tightened during assembly. All bolts that were  
installed during assembly need to be tightened as much as possible. It may be  
necessary to use a larger wrench than the one provided if you cannot tighten the bolts  
sufficiently. I cannot stress this point enough; 90% of calls to the service department  
for noise issues can be traced to loose hardware or the rear rails being dirty.  
Dirt build-up on the rear rails and polyurethane wheels are also a source of noise.  
Noise from build-up on the rails can cause a thumping sound that you would swear is  
coming from inside the main body of the machine because noise travels, and is  
amplified in the tubing of the frame. Clean the rails and wheels with a lint free cloth  
and rubbing alcohol. Stubborn build-up can be removed with your thumbnail or a  
non-metallic scraper, like the back edge of a plastic knife. After cleaning, apply a  
small amount of lubricant on the rails with your fingers or a lint free cloth. You only  
need a thin coat of lubrication, wipe off any excess.

3. If squeaks or other noises persist, check that the unit is properly leveled before calling the  
service department.
