1.2 SETUP
Read the entire Operation Manual before setting up the cross-trainer.
WHERE TO PLACE THE
CROSS-TRAINER
Following all safety instructions in Section 1.1, move the cross-trainer to the location in which it will be used. See
Section 5, titled Specifications, for the dimensions of the footprint. Allow one foot (30.4 cm) of clearance in front of the
cross-trainer to allow for movement of the pedal levers. It should be easy to mount the cross-trainer from the side.
HOW TO STABILIZE THE CROSS-TRAINER
After placing the cross-trainer in position, check the unit's stability by attempting to
rock it in all directions. Any slight rocking indicates that the unit must be leveled.
Determine which foot is not resting completely on the floor. Loosen the jam nut (A)
with an open-end 17mm wrench, and rotate the stabilizing foot (B) to lower it. Verify
that the cross-trainer is stable, and repeat the adjustment as necessary until the
unit no longer rocks. Lock the adjustment by tightening the jam nut against the stabilizer bar. It is extremely important that the stabilizing leg be correctly adjusted
for proper operation.
PLUG IN THE CROSS-TRAINER
The cross-trainer comes with a standard power supply for the U.S., or a power
supply with country-specific line cords.
Insert the power adapter jack (C) into the barrel plug on the back of the crosstrainer. Then insert the power supply into the wall outlet. Make sure the cord is
routed so that it doesn't bind and will not be walked on.
Check that the console LEDs light up. If not, recheck the plug and wall connections and make sure the wall outlet has power.
