HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
This product
must be
grounded.
If it should
malfunction
or break
down,
grounding
provides a
path of least
resistance for
electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipmentgrounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug the
power cord into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances. This product is for
use on a nominal 120-volt circuit. Important: The
elliptical crosstrainer is not compatible with GFCIequipped outlets.
A temporary
adapter may
be used to
connect the
power cord
to a 2-pole
receptacle
as shown at
the right if a
properly
grounded
outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should
be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be
installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored
rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter
must be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the
adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal
screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box covers
are not grounded. Contact a qualified electrician to
determine if the outlet box cover is grounded
before using an adapter.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
CROSSTRAINER
To mount the elliptical crosstrainer, hold the handgrip
pulse sensor 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 turn the
pedal disks in the direction shown by the arrow
below; however, for variety, you can 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.
DANGER:
Improper connection of
the equipment-grounding conductor can result
in an increased risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or serviceman if
you are in doubt as to whether the product is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the product—if it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers a selection of features
designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and
effective. When the manual mode of the console is
selected, the resistance of the pedals and the angle of
the ramp can be changed with the touch of a button.
As you pedal, the console will provide continuous
exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart
rate using the built-in handgrip pulse sensor.
In addition, the console offers six Smart programs. Each
program automatically changes the resistance of the
pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease your
pace as it guides you through an effective workout.
The console also features iFIT.com interactive technology. Having iFIT.com interactive technology is like having a personal trainer in your home. Using a stereo
audio cable (available at electronics stores), you can
connect the elliptical crosstrainer to your home stereo,
portable stereo, computer, or VCR and play special
iFIT.com CD and video programs (iFIT.com CDs and
videocassettes are available separately). iFIT.com CD
and video programs automatically control the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to vary your pace
as a personal trainer coaches you through every step
of your workout. High-energy music provides added
motivation. To purchase iFIT.com CDs and video-
cassettes, call toll-free 1-800-735-0768.
With the elliptical crosstrainer connected to your computer, you can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com
and access programs directly from the internet.

Each Smart program consists of 20 or 30 oneminute periods. One resistance level and one target pace are programmed for each period. (The
same resistance level and/or target pace may be
programmed for two or more consecutive periods.)
When you begin pedaling, the resistance of the
pedals will automatically change to the resistance
level programmed for the first period. The target
pace for the first period will appear in the small
display for a few
seconds, and the
arrows in the
small display will
help you to pedal
at the target
pace—simply
increase or
decrease your
pedaling pace until one segment of the indicator
bar appears at the tip of each arrow (see the
drawing above). For example, if there are five
arrows, five segments of the indicator bar should
appear. Note: When the word TARGET does not
appear in the small display, your actual pedaling
pace will be shown. Important: The target pace
is intended only to provide a goal. Your actual
pace may be slower than the target pace,

Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical crosstrainer
regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
For smooth operation of the elliptical
crosstrainer, clean
the ramp regularly
using a soft cloth
and a small amount
of mild detergent.
Other parts of the
elliptical crosstrainer
can be cleaned in
the same way. Keep
liquids away from the console. Never use abrasives or solvents.
HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER
Stand in front of
the elliptical
crosstrainer,
hold the handlebars firmly, and
place one foot
against the ramp
in the location
shown. Pull the
handlebars until
the elliptical
crosstrainer can
be moved on the
front wheels,
and carefully
move the elliptical crosstrainer
to the desired
location. Then,
place one foot against the ramp and lower the elliptical crosstrainer. Due to the size and weight of the
elliptical crosstrainer, use extreme caution while
moving and lowering it.
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER
After the elliptical
crosstrainer has
been moved, make
sure that the ends
of both stabilizers
are touching the
floor. If the elliptical
crosstrainer rocks
slightly during use,
turn one or both of
the leveling feet
under the front stabilizer until the rocking motion is
eliminated.
HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
If there are sheets of clear plastic on the metal contacts on the handgrip pulse sensor, peel off the plastic. For optimal performance of the handgrip pulse
sensor, keep the metal contacts clean using a soft
cloth and a small amount of mild detergent. Never
use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals.
Avoid moving your hands or squeezing the handgrip
pulse sensor too tightly. Excessive movement or pressure may interfere with heart rate readings. For the
most accurate heart rate reading, hold the metal contacts for about 30 seconds.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
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.
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the
nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers above
your age. The three numbers are your “training zone.”
The lower two numbers are recommended heart rates
for fat burning; the highest number is the recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Fat Burning
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener-
gy. 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 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.
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heart rate in your training
zone. Note: During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your heart rate in your
training zone for longer than 20 minutes.
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This
will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will
help 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. The key to success is to make exercise a
regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
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.
