Various factors, including the user's movement, 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.
3. Place the elliptical crosstrainer on a level
surface, with a mat beneath it to protect the
floor or carpet. Keep the elliptical crosstrainer indoors, away from moisture and dust.
Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-

7. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when
using the elliptical crosstrainer. Always wear
athletic shoes for foot protection.
8. Always hold the handles on the console or
the handlebars when mounting, dismounting,
or using the elliptical crosstrainer.
10. Keep your back straight when using the elliptical crosstrainer; do not arch your back.
11. If you feel pain or dizziness while exercising, stop immediately and cool down.
12. When you stop exercising, allow the pedals
to slowly come to a stop.
13. The elliptical crosstrainer is intended for
home use only. Do not use the elliptical
crosstrainer in a commercial, rental, or institutional setting.

upright. To
increase the
resistance,
turn the knob
clockwise; to
decrease the
resistance, turn

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
CROSSTRAINER
To mount the
lliptical cross-
e
trainer, hold the
handles on the
console or the
handlebars and
step onto the
pedal that is in
the lowest position. Then, step
onto the other
pedal. Push the
pedals until they
begin to move
with a continuous motion.
Note: The
pedal disks
can turn in either direction. It is recommended that
you move the pedal disks in the direction shown
by the arrow; however, for variety, you may turn
the pedal disks in the opposite direction.
To dismount the elliptical crosstrainer, wait until the
pedals come to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical
crosstrainer 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.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical crosstrainer
regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
To clean the elliptical crosstrainer, use a damp cloth
and a small amount of mild dish soap. Important:
Keep liquids away from the console and keep the
console out of direct sunlight. During storage,
remove the batteries from the console.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the console display becomes dim, the batteries
should be replaced. See assembly step 3 on page 6
for replacement instructions.
HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH
If the console does not display correct feedback, the
reed switch should be adjusted. To do this, you must
remove the Right Pedal Leg (12), the right Pedal Disc
(15), and the Side Shields (3, 4). See step 8 on page
8 and remove the Pedal Legs.

CONDITIONING 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, including the user's movement, 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.
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 recommended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat
burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible
gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does
your body begin to use stored
f your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your
I
exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest number in your training zone as you exercise.
For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the middle number in your training zone as you exercise.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise 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 preparation for exercise.

between workouts.

if desired. The key to success is to make exercise a
regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
