outs 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 iFIT Interactive Workout
System, which enables the console to accept iFIT
cards containing workouts designed to help you
achieve specific fitness goals. For example, lose
unwanted pounds with the 8-week Weight Loss work-
out. iFIT workouts control the resistance of the pedals
while the voice of a personal trainer coaches you
through your workouts, iFIT cards are available sepa-
rately. To purchase iFIT cards, go to www.iFIT.com
or see the front cover of this manual, iFIT cards
are also available at select stores.

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.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the console displays become dim or if the console
does not function correctly, the batteries should be
replaced; most console problems are the result of low
batteries. See assembly step 9 on page 9 for replace-
ment instructions.
HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
If the handgrip pulse sensor does not function proper-
ly, see step 5 on page 16.
HOW TO ELIMINATE RUBBING OF THE DISCS
If the Discs (12) rub against the Shields (14, 15) during
use, make sure that the Center Foot (40) is installed in
the Frame (1). If the Center Foot is installed, loosen
the two indicated M8 x 25mm Bolt Sets (88) and the
two M4 x 19mm Screws (81) in each side of the ellipti-
cal exerciser.

HOW TO ADJUST THE BELT
If the pedals slip while you are pedaling, even while
the resistance is adjusted to the highest setting, the
belt may need to be adjusted. To adjust the belt, first
see assembly steps 12 and 13 on page 11 and
remove the left pedal arm and the left link arm.
Then, 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 13
Disc (12). Gently 12
rotate the Disc
Cover and the
Disc away from the elliptical exerciser.
Loosen, but do
not remove, the
three indicated
screws (A). Insert
the shaft of a
screwdriver
downward
between the pul- 48
ley (B) and the
Idler Pulley (48).
Pull the top of the
screwdriver
toward the front
of the elliptical exerciser until the Belt (74) is tight.
Then, tighten the three screws.
81
Adjust the position of the Shields (14, 15) until the
Discs (12) no longer rub against them, and then tight-
en the Bolt Sets (88) and the M4 x 19mm Screws (81).
Reattach the left disc with the four screws and then
reattach the left disc cover. Next, see assembly steps
12 and 13 on page 11 and reattach the left pedal arm
and the left link arm.

EXERCISE GUiDELiNES
WARNING: Beforebeginning
this or any exercise program, consult your
physician. This is especially important for
persons over the age of 35 or persons with
pre-existing health problems.
The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is
intended only as an exercise aid in determin=
ing heart rate trends in general.
These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise
program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a
reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,
proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for
successful results.
Burning Fat--To burn fat effectively, you must exer-
cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of
time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your
body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. 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 number in your training
zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your
heart rate near the middle number in your training
zone.
Aerobic Exercise--If your goal is to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic
exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts
of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until
your heart rate is near the highest number in your
training zone.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper inten-
sity is the key to achieving results. You can use your
heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level.
The chart below shows recommended heart rates for
fat burning and aerobic exercise.
165 155 145 140 I30 ]25 I-t5 _
145 138 130 i25 118 110 103 _)
125 120 115 110 105 95 90 W
20 30 40 50 50 70 80
To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the
bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the near-
est ten years). The three numbers listed above your
age define your "training zone." The lowest number is
the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the
heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Warming up--Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body
temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation
for exercise.
Training Zone Exercise--Exercise for 20 to 30 min-
utes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During
the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not
keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer
than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you
exercise-never hold your breath.
Cooling down--Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of
stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your
muscles and helps 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. Remember, the key to success is to
make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your
everyday life.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right.
Move slowly as you stretch--never bounce.
1. Toe Touch Stretch
Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from
your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach
down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts,
then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees
and back.
2. Hamstring Stretch
Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot
toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended
leg. Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15
counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches:
Hamstrings, lower back and groin.
3. Calf/Achilles Stretch
With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your
hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back
foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move
your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat
3 times for each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles
tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles
tendons and ankles.
4. Quadriceps Stretch
With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp
one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your
buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3
times for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
5. inner Thigh Stretch
Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward.
Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for
15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and
hip muscles.
