MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance is important for optimal performance and to reduce wear. Inspect and properly tighten all parts each time the elliptical is used. Replace any worn parts immediately.

To clean the elliptical, 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.

CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING

If the console does not display your heart rate when

you hold the handgrip heart rate monitor, or if the displayed heart rate appears to be too high or too low,

see step 5 on page 19.

If lines appear in the console display, see 3 on page

22 and adjust the contrast level of the display.

If a replacement power adapter is needed, call the telephone number on the cover of this manual. IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the console, use only a manufacturer-supplied regulated power adapter.

Locate the Reed Switch (38). Turn the Pulley (19) until a Magnet (43) is aligned with the Reed Switch.

101

HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH

If the console does not display correct feedback, the

reed switch should be adjusted. To adjust the reed

switch, first unplug the power adapter.

Next, using

a standard

screwdriver,

remove the left Disc (71).

Note: For clarity, the left shield is shown removed in the

drawing at the right.

Next, slightly loosen the indicated M4 x 16mm Screw

(101). Slide the Reed Switch (38) slightly closer to or

away from the Magnet (43), and then retighten the

Screw.

Then, plug in the power adapter and rock the Pulley

(19) forward and backward just enough that the Magnet (43) passes the Reed Switch (38) repeatedly. Repeat these actions until the console displays correct feedback.

When the reed switch is correctly adjusted, reattach

the left disc and plug in the power adapter.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

WARNING: Before beginning this

or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons over age 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.

The heart rate monitor is not a medical device. Various factors may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The heart rate monitor is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.

These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise

program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,

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, exercising at the proper intensity is the key to achieving results. You can use your heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level. The chart below shows recommended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise.

Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exer- cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of

time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your

body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. 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 number in your training

zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your

heart rate near the middle number in your training zone.

Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your

cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts

of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic

exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your

heart rate is near the highest number in your training zone.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-

ing and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body

temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation

for exercise.

Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes 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.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise; never hold your breath.

To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the

bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). The three numbers listed above your age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is

the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest

number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.

Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.

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. Remember, the key to success is to make

exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
