4. Keep your elliptical exerciser indoors, away
from moisture and dust. Place your elliptical
exerciser on a level surface, with a mat
beneath it to protect the floor or carpet.
Make sure that there is enough clearance
around your elliptical exerciser to mount,
dismount, and use it.
5. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
6. Keep children under age 12 and pets away
from your elliptical exerciser at all times.
7. Your elliptical exerciser should not be used
by persons weighing more than 275 lbs.
(124 kg).
8. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when
exercising; do not wear loose clothes that
could become caught on your elliptical exerciser. Always wear athletic shoes for foot
protection.
9. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor or the handlebars when mounting, dismounting, or using
your elliptical exerciser.
10. Keep your back straight while using your
elliptical exerciser; do not arch your back.
11. 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.
12. When you stop exercising, allow the pedals
to slowly come to a stop.
13. If you feel pain or dizziness while exercising,

Assembly requires two persons. Place all parts of the elliptical exerciser in a cleared area and remove the
acking materials. Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. In addition to the
p
included tools, assembly requires a Phillips screwdriver , an adjustable
wrench , and a rubber mallet .
s you assemble the elliptical exerciser, use the drawings below to identify small parts. The number in parenthe-
A
ses below each drawing is the key number of the part, from the PART LIST near the end of this manual. The
number following the parentheses is the quantity needed for assembly. IMPORTANT: Some small parts may
have been preassembled. If a part is not in the parts bag, check to see if it has been preassembled.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced 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. As you exercise, the console will display
continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure
your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor.
The console offers four weight loss workouts designed
to help you burn calories and lose unwanted pounds.
The console guides you through an ef
loss workout by prompting you to vary your pace and
by automatically changing the resistance of the pedals.

Profile
When you select a weight loss workout, the name
of the workout and the workout time will appear in
the displays and a profile of the resistance levels
of the workout will scroll across the center display.
As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep
your pedaling pace near the target rpm setting for
he current segment. When the words PEDAL
t
FASTER appear in the upper display, increase
our pace. When the words PEDAL SLOWER
y
appear, decrease your pace. When the words
PEDALING IN RANGE 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 pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you.
If the resistance level for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override the
setting by pressing the Quick Resistance buttons.
However, when the current segment ends, the pedals will automatically adjust to the resistance level
for the next segment.
3. Press Start or begin pedaling to start the
workout.
Each weight loss workout is divided into 25, 30, or
45 one-minute segments. One resistance level and
one target rpm (revolutions per minute) setting are
programmed for each segment. Note: The same
resistance level and/or target rpm setting may be
programmed for consecutive segments.
During the workout, the workout profile will show
your progress (see the drawing above). The flashing segment of the profile represents the current
segment of the workout. The height of the flashing
segment indicates the resistance level for the current segment. At the end of each segment of the
workout, a series of tones will sound and the next
segment of the profile will begin to flash. If a different resistance level is programmed for the next
segment, the resistance level will appear in the
display for a few seconds to alert you. The resistance of the pedals will then change.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a series
of tones will sound and the workout will pause. To
restart the workout, simply resume pedaling. The
workout will continue until the last segment of the
profile flashes and the last segment of the workout
ends.
When the last segment of the workout ends, the
words PROGRAM DONE will appear in the upper
display.

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.
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.
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

t
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.

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.
o find the proper intensity level, find your age at the
T
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.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Warming up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. Awarm-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—
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.
Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of
