HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
Due to the size and weight of the elliptical exercis­er, moving it requires two persons. Stand in front of
the elliptical exerciser, hold the upright, and place one foot against one of the front wheels. Pull on the upright and have a second person lift the base until the elliptical exerciser will roll on the front wheels. Carefully move the elliptical exerciser to the desired location, and then lower it to the floor.
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
If the elliptical exerciser rocks slightly on your floor during use, turn one or both of the lev­eling feet beneath the base or beneath the front stabilizer until the rocking motion is eliminated.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the handlebars and step onto the pedal 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 crank arm covers can turn in either direction. It is recommended that you turn the crank arm covers in the direction shown by the arrow below; however, for variety, you can turn the crank arm covers in the opposite direction.
To dismount the elliptical exerciser, wait until the ped­als come to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical
exerciser does not have a free wheel; 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.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The revolutionary console offers an array of features designed to make your workouts more effective and enjoyable. When you use the manual mode of the console, you can change the resistance of the pedals with the touch of a button. While you exercise, the console will display continuous exercise feedback. You can also measure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor.
Interactive Cross Trainer Programs
The console features nine interactive cross trainer pro­grams designed to help you to burn calories and develop your cardiovascular system while toning and strengthening your muscles. The cross trainer pro­grams automatically control the resistance of the ped­als and prompt you to perform a variety of strength exercises during your workout. Choose an upper body, lower body, or total body cross trainer program to focus your workout. Note: The strength exercises require the use of dumbbells and an inflatable exer­cise ball (not included). To purchase dumbbells or
an exercise ball, call the telephone number on the front cover of this manual.
Smart Programs
In addition, the console offers three smart programs. Each program automatically changes the resistance of the pedals and prompts you to vary your pedaling pace as it guides you through an effective workout.
Heart Rate Programs
The console also offers two heart rate programs that automatically control the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to maintain a constant pedaling pace to keep your heart rate near target heart rate settings during your workouts.
Interactive Games
The console features two motivational interactive games. Using the dual game controllers, play the chal­lenging Fat Blocker™ game or the fast-paced Calorie Destroyer™ game during your workouts—the harder you exercise, the greater the advantage you will have! The console keeps track of the four highest scores for each game—compete with other users or try to top your own high score.
Stereo Sound System
You can even connect your MP3 player or CD player to the console’s stereo sound system and listen to your favorite music or audio books while you exercise.
To use the manual mode of the console, follow the steps beginning on page 14. To use a cross trainer program, see page 15. To use a smart program, see page 17. To use a heart rate program, see page

5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
If there are sheets of clear plastic on the metal con­tacts on the hand­grip pulse sensor, remove the plas­tic. To measure
your heart rate, hold the handgrip pulse sensor with your palms resting against the metal contacts. Avoid moving your
hands or gripping the contacts too tightly.
When your pulse is detected, one, two, or three dashes will appear in the display, and then your heart rate will appear. For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the contacts for at least 15 sec­onds. Note: If you continue to hold the handgrip pulse sensor, the display will show your heart rate for up to 30 seconds.
If the display does not show your heart rate, make sure that your hands are positioned as described. Be careful not to move your hands excessively or to squeeze the metal contacts too tightly. For opti­mal performance, clean the metal contacts using a soft cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or
chemicals to clean the contacts.
6. Turn on the fan if desired.
To turn on the fan at low speed, press the Fan but­ton once. To turn on the fan at high speed, press the Fan button a second time. To turn off the fan, press the Fan button a third time.
7. When you are finished exercising, the console will turn off automatically.
If the pedals do not move for several seconds, a tone will sound and the console will pause. If the pedals do not move for several minutes and the buttons are not pressed, the console will turn off and the display will be reset.
HOW TO USE A CROSS TRAINER PROGRAM
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the con­sole to turn on the console.
A moment after you begin pedaling or press a but­ton, the display will light.
2. Select a cross trainer program.
To select one of the nine cross trainer programs, press the Interactive Cross Trainer Programs button repeatedly until Program 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 appears in the display. The program time and a profile of the resistance settings for the program will also appear in the display.
After a moment, the voice of a personal trainer will welcome you to the program and guide you through the workout. To adjust the volume level of the speakers, press the increase and decrease buttons until the desired volume level is selected. There are five volume levels.
3. Begin pedaling to start the program.
Each program is divided into either 30 or 45 one­minute segments. One resistance setting and one target rpm (pace) setting are programmed for most segments. (Note: The same resistance and/or tar­get rpm setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments.) During other seg­ments, the console will prompt you to perform strength exercises.
The resistance setting and the target rpm for the first segment will appear in the center of the dis­play for a few seconds. The resistance setting will then be indicated by the height of the flashing col­umn of the profile in the display. The resistance settings for the next several segments will be indi­cated by the heights of the columns to the right of the flashing column.
When the first segment of the program ends, the resistance setting and the target rpm for the sec­ond segment will appear in the center of the dis­play for a few seconds to alert you. The entire pro­file will then shift one column to the left, and the pedals will automatically adjust to the resistance setting for the second segment.

As you exercise, you will be prompt­ed to keep your pedaling pace near the target rpm set­ting for the current segment. When an upward arrow appears in the display, increase your pace. When a downward arrow appears in the display, decrease your pace. When no arrows appear, maintain your current pace.
Important: The target rpm settings are intend­ed only to provide motivation. Your actual pace may be slower than the target rpm settings. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is com­fortable for you.
If the resistance setting for the current segment is too high or too low, you can manually override the setting by pressing the Quick Resistance buttons.
Important: When the current segment of the program ends, the pedals will automatically adjust to the resistance setting for the next segment.
4. Perform the first strength exercise when prompted.
When the first strength exercise segment begins, the name of the first strength exercise will appear in the display for a few seconds. The time will pause and flash in the display.
Step off the elliptical exerciser and prepare to begin the first strength exercise. Perform repeti­tions of the exercise as directed by the personal trainer. Exercise with a slow, steady motion; do not perform more than one repetition during each interval indicated by the personal trainer. The dis­play will also count the repetitions as you perform them.
Note: Refer to the accompanying exercise chart to see the correct form for each exercise. When per­forming lunges, alternate legs with each repetition. When performing dumbbell rows, perform half the repetitions with your right arm and half the repeti­tions with your left arm. The strength exercises require the use of dumbbells and an inflatable exercise ball (not included). To purchase dumb-
bells or an exercise ball, call the telephone number on the front cover of this manual.

HOW TO USE A SMART PROGRAM
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the con­sole to turn on the console.
A moment after you begin pedaling or press a but­ton, the display will light.
2. Select a smart program.
To select one of the three smart programs, press the Certified Personal Trainer Programs button repeatedly until Program 1, 2, or 3 appears in the display. The program time and a profile of the resistance settings for the program will also appear in the display.
3. Begin pedaling to start the program.
Each program is divided into 20, 30, or 45 one­minute segments. One resistance setting and one target rpm (pace) setting are programmed for each segment. Note: The same resistance and/or target rpm setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments.
The resistance setting and the target rpm for the first segment will appear in the center of the dis­play for a few seconds. The resistance setting will then be indicated by the height of the flashing col­umn of the profile in the display. The resistance settings for the next several segments will be indi­cated by the heights of the columns to the right of the flashing column.
When the first segment of the program ends, the resistance setting and the target rpm for the sec­ond segment will appear in the center of the dis­play for a few seconds to alert you. The entire pro­file will then shift one column to the left, and the pedals will automatically adjust to the resistance setting for the second segment.
As you exercise, you will be prompt­ed to keep your pedaling pace near the target rpm set­ting for the current segment. When an upward arrow appears in the display, increase your pace. When a downward arrow appears in the display, decrease your pace. When no arrows appear, maintain your current pace.
Important: The target rpm settings are intend­ed only to provide motivation. Your actual pace may be slower than the target rpm settings. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is com­fortable for you.
If the resistance setting for the current segment is too high or too low, you can manually override the setting by pressing the Quick Resistance buttons.
Important: When the current segment of the program ends, the pedals will automatically adjust to the resistance setting for the next segment.
The program will continue in this way until the last segment ends. To stop the program at any time, stop pedaling. A tone will sound and the time will begin to flash in the display. To restart the pro­gram, simply resume pedaling.
4. Follow your progress with the display.
See step 4 on page 14.
5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 15.
6. Turn on the fan if desired.

HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM
1. Begin pedaling to turn on the console.
A moment after you turn on the console, the dis­play will light.
2. Select a heart rate program.
To select one of the two heart rate program, press the Certified Personal Trainer Programs button repeatedly until Heart Rate 1 or 2 appears in the display. The program time and a profile of the tar­get heart rate settings for the program will also appear in the display.
3. Enter a target heart rate setting.
When you select a heart rate program, the maximum tar­get heart rate set­ting will flash in the center of the dis­play. If desired, use the increase and decrease buttons to change the maximum target heart rate setting, and then press the Enter button. Note: If you change the maximum target heart rate setting, the intensity level of the entire program will change. See EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 22 for information about recommended heart rates.
4. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sen­sor continuously during a heart rate program; how­ever, you should hold the handgrip pulse sensor frequently for the program to operate properly.
Each time you hold the handgrip pulse sensor, keep your hands on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds.
5. Begin pedaling to start the program.
Each heart rate program is divided into either 20 or 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 two or more consecutive segments.
The target heart rate setting for the first segment will be indicated by the height of the flashing col­umn of the profile in the display. The target heart rate settings for the next several segments will be indicated by the heights of the columns to the right of the flashing column.
When the first segment of the program ends, the entire profile will shift one column to the left. The target heart rate setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing column of the profile.
As you pedal, the console will regularly compare your heart rate to the target heart rate setting. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate setting, the resistance of the pedals will automatically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
You will also be prompted to pedal at a steady pace. When an upward arrow appears in the display, increase your pace. When a downward arrow appears in the display, decrease your pace. When no arrows appear in the display, maintain your current pace.
Important: Make sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you. Note: You can manually
override the resistance settings; however, you may not maintain the target heart rate. Also, 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.
The program will continue in this way until the last segment ends. To stop the program at any time, stop pedaling. A tone will sound and the time will begin to flash in the display. To restart the pro­gram, simply resume pedaling.
6. Follow your progress with the display.
See step 4 on page 14.
7. Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 15.
8. Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 15.
9. When you are finished exercising, the console will turn off automatically.
See step 7 on page 15.

HOW TO PLAY THE FAT BLOCKER GAME
The Fat Blocker game requires quick thinking and fast reflexes. In addition to the console buttons, you will use the four-button game controllers on the handlebar to play the game. Follow the steps below to play the Fat Blocker game.
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the con­sole to turn on the console.
A moment after you begin pedaling or press a but­ton, the display will light.
2. Select the Fat Blocker game.
To select the Fat Blocker game, press the Fat Blocker button. The words FAT BLOCKER will appear at the top of the display.
3. Pedal to start the game.
When you start the Fat Blocker game, a game arena will appear in the center of the display.
A block composed of four or five black squares will slowly move downward until it reaches the bottom of the arena. Another block will then move down­ward. There are blocks of eight different shapes. As each block falls, you can move it to the left or right using the left and right buttons on the left controller. In addition, you can rotate the block counterclockwise or clockwise using the left and right buttons on the right controller. Once you have positioned and oriented a block, you can speed its motion to the bottom of the arena, if desired, by pressing the down button on either controller.
Your goal is to maneuver the blocks so that they form a complete row of black squares across the entire arena. Each time you complete a row of black squares, the row will disappear, and all blocks above will move downward one row.
As you play, the blocks will fall faster and faster; however, your pedaling pace will affect the speed of the blocks—the faster you pedal, the more slowly the blocks will fall, giving you extra time to position and orient the blocks. The game will con­tinue until any part of a stacked block reaches the top of the arena.
When the game ends, the display will show your final score and the level of play that you reached. The display will then show the four highest scores recorded since the scores were reset. If desired, press and hold down the right button on either controller to reset the scores. Note: If your score is one of the four highest, the display will prompt you to enter a name consisting of three letters or dig­its. While the line below the first letter is flashing, press the up and down buttons on either controller to select the desired letter or digit. Next, press the right button on either controller and select another letter or digit. Repeat this process to select a third letter or digit. Then, press the right button on either controller again. The display will then show the four highest scores recorded since the scores were reset.
4. Follow your progress with the display.
While you exercise and play the Fat Blocker game, the corners of the display will show the elapsed time, the approximate number of calories you have burned, and your pedaling pace. In addi­tion, the display will show your current score and the game level that you have reached.
To pause the game, press the Display button. To resume the game, press the Display button repeatedly until the words FAT BLOCKER appear at the top of the display, and then begin pedaling.
5. When you are finished exercising, the console will turn off automatically.
See step 7 on page 15.

HOW TO PLAY THE CALORIE DESTROYER GAME
The Calorie Destroyer game is a fast-paced game that pits you against a squadron of laser-firing drones. In addition to the console buttons, you will use the four­button game controllers on the handlebar to play the game. Follow the steps below to play the Calorie Destroyer game.
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the con­sole to turn on the console.
A moment after you begin pedaling or press a but­ton, the display will light.
2. Select the Calorie Destroyer game.
To select the Calorie Destroyer game, press the Calorie Destroyer button. The word DESTROYER will appear at the top of the display.
3. Pedal to start the game.
When you start the Calorie Destroyer game, a game arena will appear in the display. Three rows of drones will begin to move across the top of the arena, periodically firing their lasers downward. Each time the drones reach the left or right side of the arena, they will reverse direction and move downward.
At the bottom of the arena is a laser blaster. You can fire the laser blaster at the drones by pressing the up button on either controller. In addition, while you are pedaling, you can move the laser blaster to the left or right using the left and right buttons on either controller. The faster you pedal, the faster the laser blaster will move.
Between the drones and the laser blaster are five shields. You can hide the laser blaster below a shield if desired. However, each time a shield is hit by a laser, a piece will be vaporized.
Your goal is to keep the laser blaster from being hit and to keep any drone from reaching the bot­tom of the arena. If the laser blaster is hit, it will be disabled and another laser blaster will appear in its place; there are a total of four laser blasters. If you vaporize the entire squadron of drones, a new squadron will appear.
As you play, the drones will move faster and faster. The game will continue until all four laser blasters are disabled or a drone reaches the bot­tom of the arena.
When the game ends, the display will show the level of play that you reached and your final score. The display will then show the four highest scores recorded since the scores were reset. If desired, press and hold down the right button on either controller to reset the scores. Note: If your score is one of the four highest, the display will prompt you to enter a name consisting of three letters or dig­its. While the line below the first letter is flashing, press the up and down buttons on either controller to select the desired letter or digit. Next, press the right button on either controller and select another letter or digit. Repeat this process to select a third letter or digit. Then, press the right button on either controller again. The display will then show the four highest scores recorded since the scores were reset.
4. Follow your progress with the display.
While you exercise and play the Calorie Destroyer game, the upper left corner of the display will show the elapsed time. In addition, the display will show the game level that you have reached and your current score.
To pause the game, press the Display button. To resume the game, press the Display button repeatedly until the word DESTROYER appears at the top of the display, and then begin pedaling.
5. When you are finished exercising, the console will turn off automatically.

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. Make sure to regularly clean the rollers and the track on which the rollers ride. Important: To avoid damage to the console,
keep liquids away from the console and keep the console out of direct sunlight.
CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING
If the console display becomes dim, the batteries should be replaced; most console problems are the result of low batteries. See assembly step 13 on page 11 for replacement instructions.
HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
If the console does not display your heart rate when you hold the handgrip pulse sensor, or if the displayed heart rate appears to be too high or too low, see step 5 on page 15.
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
If the elliptical exerciser rocks slightly on your floor during use, see HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER on page 12.
HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT
If the pedals slip while you are pedaling, even while the resistance is adjusted to the highest setting, the drive belt may need to be adjusted. To adjust the drive
belt, first remove the screws from the left and right side shields (not shown). Note: There are two different sizes of screws in the side shields. Be sure to note the location of each screw. Then, gently pull the side shields apart and remove the convenience tray.
Next, locate the Idler Screw (68) and loosen it one half turn. Step onto the elliptical exerciser and move the pedals. If the pedals continue to slip, turn the Idler Screw another half turn and test the pedals again. Continue in this way until the pedals no longer slip. Then, replace the convenience tray and reattach the side shields.

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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WARNING: Before beginning
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 determin­ing heart rate trends in general.
23
STRENGTH TRAINING GUIDELINES
During strength exercises, you must maintain proper form for the best results. Maintaining proper form involves moving through the full range of motion for each exercise and moving only the appropriate parts of the body. Exercising in an uncontrolled manner will reduce the benefits of strength exercises. On the exer­cise chart accompanying this manual are photographs showing the correct form for several strength exercis­es.
Perform each repetition of each strength exercise smoothly and without pausing. The exertion phase of each repetition should last only about half as long as the return phase. Proper breathing is also important. Exhale during the exertion phase of each repetition and inhale during the return phase—never hold your breath.
To increase the size and strength of your muscles, you must work your muscles at a level close to their maxi­mum capacity. Your muscles will adapt and grow as you progressively increase the amount of weight that you use. You can tone your muscles by working them at a moderate percentage of their capacity. The proper amount of weight to use for each strength exercise depends on you—you must gauge your limits and select an appropriate amount of weight.
It is important to avoid overdoing it during the first few months of your exercise program. Progress at your own pace and be sensitive to your body’s signals. If you experience pain or dizziness at any time while exercising, stop immediately and cool down. Find out what is wrong before continuing. Remember that ade­quate rest and a proper diet are important factors in any exercise program.
