HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
If the elliptical exerciser rocks slightly on your floor
during use, turn one or all of the leveling feet beneath
the track until the rocking motion is eliminated.
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; 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.
12
HOW TO ADJUST THE SELECTORS
The pedals on the elliptical exerciser move your feet in
a natural elliptical path. You can adjust the elliptical
exerciser so that the pedals move in a more vertical
path or a more horizontal path.
To adjust the elliptical exerciser so that the pedals
ove in a more vertical path, pivot the two selectors
m
to the high position; to adjust the elliptical exerciser so
that the pedals move in a more horizontal path, pivot
the selectors to the low position. IMPORTANT: Make
sure to adjust both selectors to the same position.

CONSOLE DIAGRAM
FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers an array of features
designed to make your workouts more effective and
enjoyable. When you select 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 provide continuous exercise feedback. You
can even measure your heart rate using the handgrip
pulse sensor.
The console also offers four preset workouts. Each
workout automatically changes the resistance of the
pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease your
pedaling pace as it guides you through an effective
workout.
In addition, the console features two heart rate workouts that change the resistance of the pedals to keep
your heart rate near target heart rate settings while
you exercise.
The console features the iFit Interactive Workout
System, which enables the console to accept iFit
cards containing workouts designed to help you
achieve specific fitness goals. For example, lose
unwanted pounds with the 8-week Weight Loss workout. iFit workouts control the resistance of the pedals
while the voice of a personal trainer coaches you
through your workouts. iFit cards are available separately. To purchase iFit cards, go to www.iFit.com
or see the front cover of this manual. iFit cards are
also available at select stores.
You can even connect your MP3 player or CD player
to the consoleʼs sound system and listen to your
favorite music or audio books while you exercise.
To use the manual mode, see page 15. To use a
preset workout, see page 17. To use a heart rate

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical exerciser
egularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
r
To clean the elliptical exerciser, use a damp cloth and
a small amount of mild soap. IMPORTANT: To avoid
damage to the console, keep liquids away from
the console and keep the console out of direct
sunlight.
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, see assembly steps 8 and 9
on pages 9 and 10 and remove the Left Pedal Leg
(24) and the Left Link Arm (25).
Then, see EXPLODED DRAWING A near the end of
this manual and remove the M6 x 25mm Button Screw
(61) from the center of the left Crank Arm Cover (32),
and then carefully remove the left Crank Arm Cover.
Note: You may have to remove a decal from the Crank
Arm Cover before you can remove the Button Screw.
HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH
If the console does not display correct feedback, the
reed switch should be adjusted.
To adjust the reed switch, first see EXPLODED
DRAWING A near the end of this manual and loosen
the M6 x 25mm Button Screw (61) in the center of the
right Crank Arm Cover (32), and then carefully rotate
the right Crank Arm Cover out of the way.
Locate the Reed Switch (21). Loosen, but do not
remove, the indicated M4 x 16mm Screw (72). Slide
the Reed Switch slightly closer to or away from a
Magnet (18) on the Pulley (13).

Next, remove all the screws from the left shield, and
then carefully remove the left shield.
Loosen, but do
not remove, the
three M6 x 25mm
Button Screws
(61). Insert the
shaft of a screwdriver downward
between the Idler
(12) and the pulley located on the
Eddy Mechanism
(10). Pull the top
of the screwdriver
toward the rear of
the elliptical exerciser until the Belt (68) is tight, and
then tighten the three screws.
Reattach the left shield and the left crank arm cover.
Then, see assembly steps 8 and 9 on pages 9 and 10
and reattach the left pedal leg and the left link arm.

Then, retighten the M4 x 16mm Screw (72). Turn one
of the Crank Arms (31) for a moment. Repeat until the
console displays correct feedback.
When the reed switch is correctly adjusted, replace
the crank arm cover.

CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
If the console display becomes dim, the batteries
hould be replaced; most console problems are the
s
result of low batteries. See assembly step 5 on page 8
or replacement instructions.
f
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 16.
If the elliptical exerciser rocks slightly on your floor
uring use, turn one or all of the leveling feet beneath
d
the track until the rocking motion is eliminated.
HOW TO GREASE THE ROLLERS
See the EXPLODED DRAWING near the end of this
manual.
If the Rollers (27) squeak when moving on the Track
(2), apply a small amount of white marine grease
equally to each Roller. Spread the grease evenly
around the Rollers. Pedal the elliptical exerciser until a
thin film of grease is distributed along the Track; wipe
off any excess grease.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WARNING: B
or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons
over age 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.
efore beginning this
Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exer-
cise 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.
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.
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.
22
SUGGESTED STRETCHES
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right.
ove slowly as you stretch—never bounce.
M
. Toe Touch Stretch
1
