HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

This product must be grounded. If it should mal-

function or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk

of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug the power cord into an appro- priate outlet that is properly installed and ground-

ed in accordance with all local codes and ordi- nances. This product is for use on a nominal 120- volt circuit. Important: The elliptical crosstrainer

is not compatible with GFCl-equipped outlets.

of the equipment-grounding conductor can

result in an increased risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service- man if you are in doubt as to whether the

product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product--if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

HOW TO FOLD AND UNFOLD THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER

When the elliptical exerciser is not in use, the frame can be folded out of the way. First, lift the latch under

each pedal arm, and lift the pedal arms off the sleeves on the crank arms.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The advanced console offers an array of features designed to make your workouts more effective and enjoyable. When you select the manual mode of the console, you can change the resistance of the pedals and the incline of the ramp with the touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will provide continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor.

The console also offers twenty preset programs. Each program automatically changes the resistance of the pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease your pedaling pace as it guides you through an effective

workout.

The console also offers two custom programs that allow you to create your own workout programs and store them in memory for future use.

In addition, the console features two heart rate pro- grams that change the resistance of the pedals to keep your heart rate near target heart rate settings while you exercise.

The console also features the new iFIT Interactive Workout System. The iFIT Interactive Workout System

enables the console to accept iFIT Cards containing workout programs designed to help you achieve specif- ic fitness goals. For example, lose unwanted pounds with the 8-week Weight Loss program, iFIT programs control the resistance of the pedals while the voice of a personal trainer coaches you and motivates you through your workouts. One iFIT Card with three new programs is included. Additional iFIT Cards are avail- able separately. To purchase iFIT Cards, go to

www.iFIT.com or call the toll-free telephone num- ber on the front cover of this manual, iFIT Cards

are also available at select stores.

Begin pedaling to start the program.

Heart rate program 1 is divided into 40 one- minute segments. Note: For a shorter workout, stop exercising or select a different program before the program ends.

Heart rate program 2 is divided into 30 one- minute segments. One target heart rate setting is programmed for each segment. Note: The same target heart rate setting may be programmed for consecutive segments.

During the program, the program profile in the display will show your progress. The flashing seg- ment of the profile represents the current seg- ment of the program. The height of the flashing segment indicates the target heart rate setting for the current segment. At the end of each segment of the program, a series of tones will sound and the next segment of the profile will begin to flash.

Profile

If the resistance level for the current segment is too high or too low, you can manually override the setting by pressing the OneTouch Resistance

buttons. However, when the console compares your heart rate to the target heart rate setting, the

resistance of the pedals may automatically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.

Follow your progress with the display.

During heart rate program 1, the display will show a graphic that represents a heartbeat each time your heartbeat is detected, the elapsed time, and the distance that you have pedaled. During heart rate program 2, the display will show the program profile, the time remaining in the pro- gram, and the distance that you have pedaled.

RPM PULSE

During both programs, the console will regularly compare your heart rate to the target heart rate setting for the current segment of the program. If

your heart rate is too far below or above the tar- get heart rate setting, the resistance of the pedals

will automatically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate set- ting. Each time the resistance changes, the resis-

tance level will appear in the display for a few seconds to alert you.

While you exercise, you will be prompted to maintain a con-

stant pedaling pace. When an upward-

pointing arrow or the prompt SPEED UP appears next to the pace information in the display (see step 6 on this page), increase your pace. When a downward- pointing arrow or the prompt SLOW DOWN appears, decrease your pace. When no arrow or prompt appears, maintain your current pace.

To view the profile, your pedaling pace, and the distance you have pedaled, press the Display but- ton. Note: The words SPEED UP or SLOW

DOWN may appear in the display to prompt you to keep your pedaling pace near the target pace setting for the current segment.

To view the time remaining in the program and the distance pedaled, press the Display button. Press the Display button again to view the time remain- ing and the approximate number of calories

burned.

To view the time remaining, distance pedaled, ramp incline, number of grams of carbs burned, and pedaling pace, press the Display button again. Note: An upward- or downward-pointing arrow may appear in the display to prompt you to keep your pedaling pace near the target pace set- ting for the current segment.

To view the first display again, press the Display button again.

Turn on the fan if desired.

See step 6 on page 15.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical exerciser

regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

To clean the elliptical exerciser, 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.

HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER OR ELIMINATE FLEXING IN THE FRAME

If the elliptical exerciser rocks on your floor during use, turn one or both of the Leveling Feet (98) until the rocking motion is eliminated.

116

Adjust the position of the Side Shields (14, 15) until the Discs (12) no longer rub against them, and then tighten the Bolt Sets (88) and the M4 x 16mm Screws (116).

HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING

If the handgrip pulse sensor does not function proper-

ly, see step 5 on page 15.

HOW TO ADJUST THE BELT

If the pedals slip while you are pedaling, even

while the resis- tance is adjusted

to the highest setting, the belt may need to be adjusted. To adjust the belt, 12 first carefully pry

off the left Disc Cover (13) using a flat screwdriver. Next, remove the

four screws (not shown) from the center of the left Disc (12). Gently rotate the Disc Cover and the Disc away from the elliptical exerciser.

If the elliptical exerciser flexes in the center during

use, turn the Center Foot (95) until the flexing is elimi- nated.

HOW TO ELIMINATE RUBBING OF THE DISCS

See the drawing above. If the Discs (12) rub against the Side Shields (14, 15) during use, make sure that the Center Foot (95) is installed in the Frame (1). If the

Center Foot is installed, loosen the two indicated Bolt Sets (88) and the two M4 x 16mm Screws (116) in

each side of the elliptical exerciser.

Loosen, but do not remove, the

three 1/4" x 19mm Button

Screws (114).

Insert the shaft of a screwdriver downward between the

Idler (47) and the

Idler Pulley (48). Pull the top of the

screwdriver toward the rear of the elliptical exerciser until the Belt

(96) is tight, and then tighten the three Button Screws.

Reattach the left disc with the four screws and then reattach the left disc cover.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

J&WARNING:

Before beginning this or any exercise pro- gram, consult your physician. This is espe-

cially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.

During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener- gy. 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 num- ber in your training zone as you exercise.

The pulse sensor is not a medical device.

Various factors may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is intended on ly as an exercise aid in determin- ing heart rate trends in general,

The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. Remember that 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, the key to achieving the desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity. The proper intensity level can be found by using your heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom- mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.

165 155 145 140 130 125 i15 _

145 138 130 125 118 I10 i03 <@

125 120 115 110 105 95 90

20 30 40 50 60 70 80

For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the middle num- ber in your training zone as you exercise.

Aerobic Exercise

If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys- tem, your exercise must be "aerobic." Aerobic exer- cise is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the highest number in your training zone as you exercise.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Each workout should include the following three parts:

A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your

body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in prepa- ration for exercise.

Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 min- utes of exercising with your heart rate in your training

zone. Note: During the first few weeks of your exer- cise program, do not keep your heart rate in your

training zone for longer than 20 minutes.

To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the

nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers above your age. The three numbers are your "training zone."

The lower two numbers are recommended heart rates for fat burning; the highest number is the recommend-

ed heart rate for aerobic exercise.

Fat Burning

To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative- ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.

A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help 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. The key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
