Elliptical Operation & Adjustment
POWER
Your programmable elliptical trainer is powered by a power supply. The power supply must be plugged into the power jack, which is located in the front of the machine near the front foot tube.
LEVELING
The elliptical trainer should be level for optimum use. Once you have placed the elliptical trainer where you intend to use it, raise or lower the adjustable levelers located underneath each guiderail. Once you have leveled the elliptical trainer, lock the levelers in place by tightening the wing nuts against the frame.
