warnings on the elliptical exerciser before
using the elliptical exerciser. Use the elliptical exerciser only as described in this
manual.
0. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
1
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.
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the elliptical exerciser are
adequately informed of all precautions.
3. The elliptical exerciser is intended for
home use only. Do not use the elliptical
exerciser in a commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
4. Keep the elliptical exerciser indoors, away
from moisture and dust. Place the 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 the 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

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
EXERCISER
To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the handgrip
ulse sensor and step onto the pedal that is in the low-
p
est position. Next, step onto the other pedal. Push the
pedals 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
below; however, for variety, you can turn the pedal
discs in the opposite direction.

HOW TO USE THE HANDLEBARS
The handlebars are
designed to add
pper-body exer-
u
cise to your workouts. Push and pull
the handlebars as
you exercise to
work your arms,
shoulders, and
back.
To exercise only your lower body, hold the handgrip
pulse sensor as you exercise.
HOW TO ADJUST THE STRIDE OF THE ELLIPTICAL
EXERCISER
To adjust the stride of the elliptical exerciser, first pull
one of the adjustment knobs until the adjustment
bracket can be pivoted freely. Then, pivot the adjustment bracket until the adjustment knob is aligned with
either of the two holes in the crank arm, and gently
release the knob. Pivot the adjustment bracket back
and forth slightly to make sure that the adjustment pin
is engaged in one of the holes. Adjust the other side of
the elliptical exerciser in the same way.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
This advanced console offers a selection of features
designed to make your workouts more effective. 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 pedal, the console will provide continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure your
heart rate using the built-in handgrip pulse sensor.
The console features two heart rate programs that
allow you to enter target heart rate settings. The programs help you maintain the target heart rate by automatically changing the resistance of the pedals and
prompting you to maintain your pedaling pace.
The console also offers two preset programs that automatically change the resistance of the pedals and

Two calorie goal programs are designed to help you
burn 250 or 350 calories. You can exercise at your
desired pace and resistance level while the program
counts down the calories you burn until you reach the
goal.
To use the manual mode of the console, see page
13. To use a heart rate program, see page 14. To
use a preset program, see page 15. To use a calorie goal program, see page 16.
Before using the console, make sure that batteries are

For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue
to hold the handgrip pulse sensor for about 30
seconds. Note: If you continue to hold the handgrip pulse sensor, the display will show your heart
rate for about 30 seconds. The display will then
show your heart rate along with the other modes.
If your heart rate does not appear, make sure that

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical exerciser
regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
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.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the console display becomes dim, the batteries
should be replaced; most console problems are the
result of low batteries. See assembly step 5 on page
8 for replacement instructions.

• Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so
may interfere with heart rate readings.
• For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the
metal contacts for about 30 seconds.

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.
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.
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.
o find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
T
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.
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.
