least 4 ft. (1.2 m) of clearance in the front of
the elliptical, 6 ft. (1.8 m) in the rear, and 2 ft.
(0.6 m) on each side. To protect the floor or

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER ADAPTER
IMPORTANT: If the elliptical has been exposed to
cold temperatures, allow it to warm to room temperature before you plug in the power adapter (A).
If you do not do this, you may damage the console
displays or other electronic components.
Plug the power
adapter (A) into
the receptacle
on the frame of
the exercise bike.
Then, plug the
power adapter
into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
A
HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL
Due to the size and weight of the elliptical, moving
it requires two persons. Stand in front of the ellipti-
cal and lift the handle (B) until the elliptical will roll on
the wheels. Carefully move the elliptical to the desired
location, and then lower it to the floor.

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL
To mount the elliptical, hold the handlebars (C) and
step onto the pedal (D) that is in the lower position.
Then, step onto the other pedal. Push the pedals until
they begin to move with a continuous motion. Note:
The pedals can turn in either direction. It is recommended that you turn the pedals in the direction
shown by the arrow; however, for variety, you can
turn the pedals in the opposite direction.
C
D
If the elliptical rocks
slightly on your
floor during use,
turn one or both of
the leveling feet (E)
beneath the front of
the frame until the
rocking motion is
eliminated.
HOW TO USE THE TABLET HOLDER
IMPORTANT: The tablet holder (F) is designed
for use with most full-size tablets. Do not place
any other electronic device or object in the tablet
holder.
To insert a tablet into the tablet
holder (F), set the
bottom edge of
the tablet in the
tray. Then, pull the
clip over the top
edge of the tablet.
Make sure that
the tablet is firmly
secured in the
tablet holder. If applicable to your tablet holder model,
rotate and/or pivot the tablet holder to the desired position. Reverse these actions to remove the tablet from
the tablet holder.
F
E
To dismount the elliptical, wait until the pedals (D)
come to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical does
not have a freewheel; the pedals will continue to
move until the flywheel stops. When the pedals are
stationary, step off the higher pedal first. Then, step off
the lower pedal.

If the console does not turn on, make sure that the
power adapter is fully plugged in.
If a replacement power adapter is needed, call the
telephone number on the cover of this manual.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the console, use
only a manufacturer-supplied regulated power
adapter.
TABLET HOLDER TROUBLESHOOTING
HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT
If the pedals slip while you are pedaling, even while
the resistance is adjusted to the highest level, the drive
belt may need to be adjusted. To adjust the drive belt,
first unplug the power adapter.
Next, remove the M4 x 16mm Screw (143) and the
Access Cover (110) from the Right Inner Shield (101).
Then, tighten the M10 Locknut (133) until the Drive Belt
A (61) is tight.

HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH
If the console does not display correct feedback, the
reed switch should be adjusted. To adjust the reed
switch, first unplug the power adapter.
Next, locate the Reed Switch (55). Turn the Right Inner
Disc (107) until a Magnet (113) is aligned with the
Reed Switch.
Next, use a standard screwdriver and pry the Shield
Disc (97) off the Left Outer Shield (98).

Then, slightly loosen the two M4 x 25mm Screws (153)
and slide the Reed Switch (55) slightly closer to or
away from the Magnet (113).
Plug in the power adapter and rock the Right Inner
Disc (107) forward and backward so that the Magnet
(113) passes the Reed Switch (55) repeatedly. Repeat
these actions until the console displays correct
feedback.
When the reed switch is correctly adjusted, retighten
the two M4 x 25mm Screws (153), reattach the Shield
Disc (97), and plug in the power adapter.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WARNING: Before beginning this
or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons
over age 35 or persons with pre-existing
health problems.
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.
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.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper intensity 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.
To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the
bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest 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.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE
To measure your heart
rate, exercise for at
least four minutes.
Then, stop exercising and place two
fingers on your wrist
as shown. Take a
six-second heartbeat
count, and multiply the
result by 10 to find your heart rate. For example, if your
six-second heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate is 140
beats per minute.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-
ing 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 minutes 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.
Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exercise 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.
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
exercise, 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.
