3.INITIAL SETUP

Read the entire User Manual before setting up the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer.

WHERE TO PLACE THE

TOTAL-BODY ELLIPTICAL CROSS-TRAINER

After following all safety instructions move the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer to the
place where it will be used. See specifications for full dimensions if needed. The Total­Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer is equipped with front and rear wheels so that it is simple to
push or pull the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer to its final destination. To use the
wheels make sure that the levelers are twisted up far enough so that all wheels (A) can
engage with the floor. Once the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer is properly positioned,
allow enough space in the front of the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer for the move­ment of the pedal levers. Also be sure to allow space on the side so that it is easy to
mount the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer from the side.

CAUTION: Make certain you have plenty of room for the swing of the moving arms.
CAUTION: Place the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer in a dry place. Do not place in highly humid areas, like near

swimming pools, as rust and corrosion may occur.

HOW TO STABILIZE THE TOTAL-BODY ELLIPTICAL CROSS-TRAINER

Once the cross-trainer is positioned in the room lower the levelers on the front stabilizer to contact the floor. The levelers
will keep the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer fixed to the floor while using it.

CAUTION: Do not use the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer without the levelers touching the floor.
After placing the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer where it will be used, check the stability. If there is even a slight rock-

ing motion, or the unit is not stable the levelers will need to be adjusted. Determine which leveler is not resting firmly on
the floor. To adjust the levelers downward twist the rubber portion of the leg counterclockwise. To adjust the levelers
upward twist the rubber portion of the leg clockwise.

18

POWERING UP THE TOTAL-BODY ELLIPTICAL CROSS-TRAINER

Your Life Fitness Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer may come with either a U.S.
power supply or one of several international power supplies. Insert the appropri­ate power adapter jack into the connector (B) on the back of the Total-Body
Elliptical Cross-Trainer. Then insert the plug into the wall outlet. Make sure the
cord is placed so it doesn't bind and will not be walked on. Then check that the
main LCD display lights up, and press a button on the CoachZone to make sure
it is powered. If not, recheck the plug and the wall connections and make sure
the wall outlet has power.

MOUNTING THE MACHINE

When mounting the machine it is recommended that the pedal closest to you is in its lowest position. This can be done by
pushing the arms to rotate the pedal until it is centered to the side of you at its lowest position. If you are standing to the left
side of the machine, when facing the console, place your left foot on the pedal closest to you and then swing your right leg
over to the right pedal. Use the stationary handlebar to stabilize yourself.

4.MAIN FEATURES

CONT ACT HEART RATE

The X3 includes hand pulse sensors on the stationary handlebar that are a built-in heart rate monitoring system. During a
workout grasp the hand pulse sensors to monitor your heart rate. If your console comes equipped with a heart rate chest
strap we recommend using it during workouts and using the hand pulse sensors to only occasionally monitor your heart
rate when not using the chest strap. In addition, to utilize heart rate controlled workouts the chest strap must be used. For
the most accurate reading, use a comfortable grip. The console will show a heart rate reading after 15 to 20 seconds.

Hand pulse sensors can work differently with different body types. With some individuals it can be very difficult to extract a
heart rate reading. Follow the tips below to improve the heart rate reading:

· Remove your hands from the heart rate sensors and wait for the heart rate display to clear. Grasp sensors again.

· Make sure hands are fully contacting the sensors.

· Dry hands periodically during use.

· Limit movement.

· Clean hand pulse sensors.

Note: The heart rate hand pulse sensors provide an approximate heart rate value. The sensors are not medical devices

and should not be used in any type of medical application.

ACCESSORIES

The X3 comes standard with two water bottle holders (C) and an accessory tray (D).

CUSHIONED PEDAL INSERT

The X3 comes equipped with a cushioned pedal insert (E) for increased
comfort during workouts.

6.SERVICE &PRODUCT MAINTENANCE

6.1 TROUBLESHOOTING

NO POWER

Check to see that the power cord is fully plugged into the back of the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer and into the wall.
Make sure the power cord is fully seated into the back of the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer.

HAND P

ULSE SENSORS NOT WORKING OR NOT ACCURATE

Hand pulse sensors can work differently with different body types. With some individuals it can be very difficult to extract a
heart rate reading. Follow the tips below to improve the heart rate reading:

• Remove your hands from the heart rate sensors and wait for the heart rate display to clear. Grasp sensors again.

• Make sure hands are fully contacting the sensors.

• Dry hands periodically during use.

• Limit movement.

• Clean hand pulse sensors.

• May need to wait longer for heart rate to display.

Note: The heart rate hand pulse sensors provide an approximate heart rate value. The sensors are not medical devices and
should not be used in any type of medical application.

Warning: Chest strap heart rate reading overrides contact heart rate.

TOTAL BODY ARMS FEEL LOOSE

Remove the moving arm pivot covers and check to make certain the bolt holding the total body arms in place is fully
tightened. If the total body arms still feel loose, you may need to disassemble the total body arms and make sure all of
the proper hardware from the assembly instructions was used.

NOISE FROM PEDALS

Some noise from the pedals is normal. It will vary depending on the weight of the user. Check accessible hardware
beneath pedal to make certain it is tight.

NOISE WITH INCREASED SPEED

It is normal for any mechanical device to become louder as speed increases.

START-UP RESISTANCE SEEMS VERY DIFFICULT

Turn the unit off and then on again.

CAN'

T FEEL A RESISTANCE

CHANGE AT THE BEGINNING LEVELS

The resistance curve of the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer is designed so that you can feel a greater difference in
resistance at higher levels.

6.2 PREVENTATIVE

MAINTENANCE TIPS

The safety of the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer can be maintained only if the equipment is examined regularly for
damage or wear. If maintenance is required, keep the equipment out of use until defective parts are repaired or

The following preventative maintenance tips will keep the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer operating at peak perform­ance.

• Locate the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer in a cool, dry place.

• Clean the top surface of the pedals when needed.

• Use a 100% cotton cloth, lightly moistened with water or a mild liquid cleaning product, to clean the product.

Other fabrics, including paper towels, may scratch the surface of the product. Do not use ammonia or acid­based cleaners. At no time should cleaner be applied directly to the machine.

• Long fingernails may damage or scratch the surface of the console or CoachZone; use the pad of the finger to

press the keys.
