Classic Series Cross-Trainer Model CLSX

See "Specifications" page in this manual for product specific features.

Statement of Purpose: The Life Fitness Cross-Trainer is an exercise machine that combines low-impact elliptical pedal­ing with push/pull arm motion to provide an efficient, effective total body workout.

CAUTION: Life Fitness STRONGLY recommends seeing a physician for a complete medical exam before

undertaking an exercise program, particularly if the user has a family history of high blood pressure or
heart disease, or is over the age of 45, or smokes, has high cholesterol, is obese, or has not exercised
regularly in the past year.

If, at any time while exercising, the user experiences faintness, dizziness, pain, or shortness of breath, he or she must
stop immediately.

MISE EN GARDE: Life Fitness conseille VIVEMENT de consulter un médecin pour subir un examen

médical complet avant de commencer tout programme d'exercice, et tout particulièrement si l'utilisateur
a des antécédents familiaux d'hypertension ou de troubles cardiaques, ou s'il a plus de 45 ans, s'il
fume, s'il a du cholestérol, s'il est obèse ou n'a pas fait d'exercice régulièrement depuis un an.

Si, pendant l'utilisation de l'appareil, l'utilisateur ressent un malaise, des vertiges, des douleurs ou des difficultés à
respirer, il doit cesser immédiatement.

1.2 SETUP

Read the Operation Manual before setting up the Life Fitness Cross-Trainer.

WHERE TO PLACE THE LIFE FITNESS®CROSS-TRAINER

Following all safety instructions in Section 1.1, move the Life Fitness Cross-Trainer to the location in which it will be
used. See Section 7, titled Specifications, for the dimensions of the footprint. Allow one foot of clearance in front of the
Life Fitness Cross-Trainer to allow for movement of the pedal levers. It should be easy to mount the Life Fitness Cross­Trainer from the side.

HOW TO

STABILIZE THE

LIFE FITNESS CROSS-TRAINER

After placing the Life Fitness Cross-Trainer in position, check the unit’s stability by attempting to rock it. Any slight rock­ing indicates that the unit must be leveled. Check the stabilizing feet to determine which foot does not rest fully on the
floor. Rotate the foot counter-clockwise to lower it. Recheck the stability and adjust again as needed until the Life Fitness
Cross-Trainer is stable and no longer rocks. Lock the adjustment into position by tightening the jam nut against

the stabilizer bar with an open end 9/16 inch wrench.

CHECK FOR POWER

The console is powered by a rechargeable 6-volt battery. Check the battery by pressing the START key. The console should
light up, and the MESSAGE CENTER should display a prompt to set up a workout. If this does not occur, mount the Life
Fitness Cross-Trainer and begin pedaling. The console should then light up, making it possible to program a workout. Pedal
for 10 to 20 minutes at 1.5 mph (2.4 kph) or faster during a workout to charge the battery. Afterwards, the pedal action during
workouts keeps the battery charged. If the console still does not light, contact Life Fitness Customer Service. See Section

6.5, titled How to Obtain Product Service, for more information.

FITNESS AND ENTERTAINMENT NETWORKING

Two interchangeable network ports allow the Life Fitness Cross-Trainer to be connected to a fitness entertainment system
and/or a network, such as FitLinxx

TM

interactive fitness network.

• Fitness network: The network connection enables the console to upload user workout statistics to a fitness network
database or to download remotely stored information, such a pre-set workout program. See Section 4.2, titled Using
the Workouts, for information on logging onto a network.

• Entertainment: The network connection enables the console to power a third-party receiver for use with a service
such as the Cardio Theater

®

entertainment system or the BroadcastVisionTMentertainment system.

These ports are located on the back of the console and are enclosed by a removable cover. Any use of the ports for other than their
intended purpose could void the product warranty.

2THE DISPLAY CONSOLE

2.1 DISPLAY CONSOLE OVERVIEW

The computerized display console allows the user to tailor a workout to personal fitness abilities and goals and to moni­tor progress. With this easy-to-use console, the user can track fitness improvement from one workout to the next.

2.2 DISPLAY CONSOLE DESCRIPTIONS

This section lists and describes the functions for the keys and display windows on the console. See Section 4, titled The Workouts, for
detailed information on using the console to set up workouts.

A START: Press this key to activate the console for programming a new workout. The activated console lights up and displays

“SELECT WORKOUT OR PRESS QUICK START”. If no key is pressed for 15 seconds and the user stops pedaling, the console
shuts down again.

NOTE: The Life Fitness Cross-Trainer ’s AutoStart feature also activates the console when the user steps on the pedals and
begins pedaling.

B ENTER: Press this key after entering each value, such as weight or workout time, when prompted by console display messages.
C NUMERIC keypad: Use these keys to enter values, such as length of workout, weight, age, target heart rate*, and intensity level.

While a workout is in progress, numeric keys can be used to set new intensity levels or change the target heart rate* in the FAT
BURN and CARDIO workouts. The ARROW keys have a similar function, except that they change workout parameters by single

increments.
