BASIC OPERATION

CONGRATULATIONS ON CHOOSING YOUR ELLIPTICAL!

You’ve taken an important step in developing and sustaining an exercise program! Your elliptical is a tremendously effective

tool for achieving your personal fitness goals. Regular use of your elliptical can improve the quality of your life in so many ways.

Here are just a few of the health benefits of exercise:

• Weight loss

• A healthier heart

• Improved muscle tone

• Increased daily energy levels

The key to reaping these benefits is to develop an exercise habit. Your new elliptical will help you eliminate obstacles that prevent

you from exercising. Inclement weather and darkness won’t interfere with your workout when you use your elliptical in the comfort

of your home. This guide provides you with basic information for using and enjoying your new machine.

8

LOCATION OF THE ELLIPTICAL

Place the elliptical on a level surface. There should be one foot of clearance in front of

the elliptical for the power cord. For ease of access, there should be an accessible space

preferentially on both sides of the elliptical equal to 36” (915 mm) to allow a user access to the

machine from either side. Do not place the elliptical in any area that will block any vent or air

openings. The elliptical should not be located in a garage, covered patio, near water or outdoors.

POWER

Your elliptical is powered by a power supply. The power must be plugged into the power jack,

which is located in the front of the machine near the stabilizer tube. Some ellipticals have a

power switch, located next to the power jack. Make sure it is in the ON position. Unplug cord

when not in use. NOTE: Some ellipticals have an ON/OFF switch located behind the console.

Never operate product if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working

properly, if it has been damaged, or immersed in water. Please reference contact

information on the back cover of the OWNER’S MANUAL for assistance.

FOOT POSITIONING

Your elliptical offers a variety of foot positions. Moving your foot to the forward most position of the foot pad increases your step height,

which will create a feel similar to a step machine. Placing your foot toward the back of the foot pad decreases your step height and

creates more of a gliding feel, similar to a smooth walk or run. Always make sure your entire foot is secured on the foot pad.

Your elliptical also allows you to pedal both forward and backwards to offer a variation to your workout and to focus on other major

leg muscle groups such as your hamstrings and calves.

MOVING THE ELLIPTICAL

Your elliptical has a pair of transport wheels built into the front stabilizer tube. To move,

first remove the power supply and firmly grasp the steel portion of the rear stabilizer bar,

carefully tilt and roll. NOTE: be sure to grab the steel bar and not the plastic cover.

Our ellipticals are heavy, use care and additional help if necessary when moving.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in injury.

LEVELING THE ELLIPTICAL

Your elliptical should be level for optimum use. Once you have placed your elliptical where you intend to

use it, raise or lower one or both of the adjustable levelers located on the bottom of the elliptical frame*.

A carpenter’s level is recommended. Once you have leveled your elliptical, lock the levelers in place by

tightening the nuts against the frame. *NOTE: Some ellipticals do not have levelers.

POWER INCLINE OPERATION

Some elliptical models offer powered incline to add variety to your workouts. The incline can be adjusted

using the buttons on the console.

If the stop button is pressed to pause the program, the incline motor will remain at its current height.

To return the incline to 0%, press START/GO and change the incline to 0% before dismounting. If the

STOP button is held for 3 seconds to reset the console, the incline will also return to 0%.

MANUAL INCLINE OPERATION

Some elliptical models have an adjustable incline feature to add variety to your workouts. To adjust the

incline up or down, stand on the side of the elliptical and place your hand firmly on the top of the shroud

(as shown). With your other hand, carefully lift up on the adjustment bar, lifting and guiding it up and in.

NOTE: Some models may have a pin that would need to be pressed to move the ramp.

MOUNTING THE ELLIPTICAL

1. Stand on the side of the elliptical next to the lowest foot pedal.

2. While holding both of the stationary handlebars, place your foot

on the lowest foot pedal and pull yourself up onto the elliptical.

3. Wait until the elliptical finds its resting place and then place

your other foot on the opposite pedal.

11

USING THE HEART RATE FUNCTION

Your elliptical could be equipped with either heart rate pulse grips or a thumb pulse sensor. To find out what your model has, refer to

the beginning of the ASSEMBLY section of your OWNER’S MANUAL.

The heart rate function on this product is not a medical device. While heart rate grips or a thumb pulse sensor can provide a

relative estimation of your actual heart rate, they should not be relied on when accurate readings are necessary. Some people,

including those in a cardiac rehab program, may benefit from using an alternate heart rate monitoring system like a chest or

wrist strap. Various factors, including movement of the user, may affect the accuracy of your heart rate reading. The heart rate

reading is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general. Please consult your physician.

PULSE GRIPS

Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars for your heart rate to register.

It takes 5 consecutive heart beats (15-20 seconds) for your heart rate to register. When gripping the pulse handlebars, do not grip

tightly. Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure. Keep a loose, cupping hold. You may experience an erratic readout

if consistently holding the grip pulse handlebars. Make sure to clean the pulse sensors to ensure proper contact can be maintained.

THUMB PULSE

Place and hold your thumb LIGHTLY over the thumb sensor. The sensor may not work properly if you press too hard. The sensor

window should be completely covered by your finger. Wait for a few seconds, and your heart rate will show in the heart rate window.

The thumb sensor can also read a pulse from your index finger.

Do not press excessively hard on the sensor as this may cause damage.

WARNING

12

WIRELESS HEART RATE RECEIVER

Some ellipticals also include a built-in wireless heart rate receiver. When used in conjunction with a wireless chest transmitter,

your heart rate can be transmitted wirelessly to the elliptical and displayed on the console. Your elliptical may or may not include

a wireless chest transmitter (see the beginning of the ASSEMBLY section of your OWNER’S MANUAL).

Prior to wearing the wireless chest transmitter on your chest, moisten the two rubber electrodes with water. Center the chest strap

just below the breast or pectoral muscles, directly over your sternum, with the logo facing out. NOTE: The chest strap must be tight

and properly placed to receive an accurate and consistent readout. If the chest strap is too loose, or positioned improperly, you may

receive an erratic or inconsistent heart rate readout.

COMMON PRODUCT QUESTIONS

ARE THE SOUNDS MY ELLIPTICAL MAKES NORMAL?

Our ellipticals are some of the quietest available because they use belt drives and friction free magnetic resistance. We use the

highest grade bearings and belts to minimize noise. However, because the resistance system itself is so quiet, you will occasionally

hear other slight mechanical noises. Unlike older, louder technologies, there are no fans, friction belts, or alternator noises to mask

these sounds on our ellipticals. These mechanical noises, which may or may not be intermittent, are normal and are caused by the

transfer of significant amounts of energy to a rapidly spinning flywheel. All bearings, belts and other rotating parts will generate some

noise which will transmit through the casing and frame. It is also normal for these sounds to change slightly during a workout and over

time because of thermal expansion of the parts.

WHY IS THE ELLIPTICAL I HAD DELIVERED LOUDER THAN THE ONE AT THE STORE?

All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is generally more background noise than in your home.

Also, there will be less reverberation on a carpeted concrete floor than on a wood overlay floor. Sometimes a heavy rubber mat will

help reduce reverberation through the floor. If a fitness product is placed close to a wall, there will be more reflected noise.

HOW LONG WILL THE DRIVE BELT LAST?

The computer modeling we have done indicated virtually thousands of maintenance free hours. Belts are now commonly used in far

more demanding applications such as motorcycle drives.

CAN I MOVE THE TRAINER EASILY ONCE IT IS ASSEMBLED?

Your elliptical has a pair of transport wheels built into the front stabilizer tube. Please follow the MOVING THE ELLIPTICAL section

to transport your elliptical. It is important that you place your elliptical in a comfortable and inviting room. Your elliptical is designed to

use minimal floor space. Many people will place their ellipticals facing the TV or a picture window. If at all possible, avoid putting your

elliptical in an unfinished basement. To make exercise a desirable daily activity for you, the elliptical should be in a comfortable setting.

CAN I PEDAL BACKWARDS ON MY ELLIPTICAL?

Your elliptical allows you to pedal both forward and backwards to exercise and strengthen a wider range of muscles.

• The correct power cord is being used. Only use the power

cord included.

• The power cord is not pinched or damaged and is properly

plugged into the outlet AND the machine.

• The power switch is turned to the ON position (may not apply

to all models).

• Turn off the machine and unplug power cord. Remove the

console and check that all connections to the console are

secure and not damaged or pinched.

PROBLEM: The console lights up but the Distance/Watts/RPMs

do not count.

SOLUTION: Verify the following:

• Turn off machine and unplug power cord. Remove the console

and check that all connections to the console are secure and

not damaged or pinched.

• If doing the above does not fix the problem, the speed sensor

and/or magnet may have become dislodged or damaged.

PROBLEM: The resistance levels seem to be

incorrect, seeming too hard or too easy.

SOLUTION: Verify the following:

• The correct power cord is being used. Only use

the power cord provided.

• Reset the console and allow the resistance to

reset to the default position. Restart and retry

the resistance levels.

PROBLEM: The roller wheels appear to be leaving

particles on the guide rails.

SOLUTION: This is considered normal wear of the

elliptical wheels. To remove, simply wipe off the roller

wheels and guide rails with a damp cloth.

PROBLEM: The elliptical makes a squeaking

or chirping noise.

SOLUTION: Verify the following:

• The elliptical is on a level surface.

• Loosen all bolts attached during the assembly

process, grease the threads, and tighten again.

• Apply a lithium-based grease to the top surface

of the guide rails.

TROUBLESHOOTING HEART RATE

(GRIP-PULSE ONLY)

Check your exercise environment for sources of

interference such as fluorescent lights, computers,

underground fencing, home security systems or

appliances containing large motors. These items

may cause erratic heart rate readouts.

You may experience an erratic readout under the

following conditions:

• Gripping the heart rate handlebars too tight. Try to

maintain moderate pressure while holding onto the

heart rate handlebars.

• Constant movement and vibration due to constantly

holding the heart rate handlebars while exercising.

If you are receiving erratic heart rate readouts, try

to only hold the grips long enough to monitor your

heart rate.

• When you are breathing heavily during a workout.

• When your hands are constricted by wearing a ring.

• When your hands are dry or cold. Try to moisten

your palms by rubbing them together to warm.

• Anyone with heavy arrhythmia.

• Anyone with arteriosclerosis or peripheral

circulation disorder.

• Anyone whose skin on the measuring palm

is especially thick.

If this troubleshooting section does not remedy the problem,

discontinue use and turn the power off.
