HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL

HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL

Due to the size and weight of the elliptical, moving it requires two persons. Stand in front of the elliptical,

hold the upright (A), and place one foot against one of the front wheels (B). Pull on the upright and have a second person lift the rear stabilizer (C) 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 LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL

If the elliptical rocks slightly on your floor during use, turn one or both of the leveling feet (D) beneath the rear stabilizer until the rocking motion is eliminated.

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL

To mount the elliptical, hold the handlebars (E) or the upper body arms (F) and step onto the pedal (G) that is in the lowest position. Then, step onto the other pedal.

Push the pedals (G) until they begin to move with a continuous motion. Note: The pedal discs can turn

in either direction. It is recommended that you move the pedal discs in the direction shown by the arrow; however, for variety, you can turn the pedal

discs in the opposite direction.

To dismount the elliptical, wait until the pedals (G) come to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical does

not have a free wheel; the pedals will continue to move until the flywheel stops. When the pedals are

stationary, step off the highest pedal first. Then, step off the lowest pedal.

Note: For clarity, the right pedal disc is not shown in the drawing below.

Locate the Reed Switch (53). Slightly loosen the M4 x 16mm Screw (52).

Next, rotate the Pulley (61) until a Magnet (58) is aligned with the Reed Switch (53). Slide the Reed Switch slightly toward or away from the Magnet. Then, retighten the M4 x 16mm Screw (52). Rotate the Pulley for a moment.

Repeat these actions until the console displays correct feedback.

When the reed switch is correctly adjusted, reattach the top shield.

HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT

If you can feel the pedals slip while you are pedaling, even when the resistance is adjusted to the highest level, the drive belt may need to be adjusted.

To adjust the drive belt, you must remove the pedal arms, the pedal discs, and the left shield.

Next, loosen the M8 x 22mm Screw (65), and turn the M10 x 60mm Bolt (62) until the Drive Belt (19) is tight.

See steps 17 and 16 on page 13. Remove the Left and Right Pedal Arms (11, 12).

See EXPLODED DRAWING A on page 26. Using a standard screwdriver, remove the left and right Pedal Discs (15).

Next, identify the Left and Right Shields (3, 4). Remove all of the M4 x 16mm Screws (52) from the Left and Right Shields.

Next, remove the two M6 x 18mm Screws (43). Then, remove the Left Shield (3).

When the Drive Belt (19) is tight, tighten the M8 x 22mm Screw (65).

Then, reattach the shields, the pedal discs, and the pedal arms.

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.

The heart rate monitor is not a medical device. Various factors may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The heart rate monitor 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
