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 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 provide
continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure
your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor.
The console offers eight preset workouts—four weight
loss and four performance workouts. Each preset
workout automatically changes the resistance of the
pedals as it guides you through an effective workout.
The console also offers six target toning workouts
designed to work specific areas of the body. Each target toning workout has a recommended ramp incline
level and will automatically change the resistance of
the pedals while guiding you through an effective
workout.
You can even connect your MP3 player or CD player
to the console sound system and listen to your favorite
music or audio books while you exercise.
To use the manual mode, see page 18. To use a preset workout, see page 19. To use a target toning
workout, see page 21. To use the sound system,
see page 22.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical regularly.
eplace any worn parts immediately.
R
To clean the elliptical, use a damp cloth and a small
amount of mild soap. IMPORTANT: To avoid damage
o the console, keep liquids away from the con-
t
sole and keep the console out of direct sunlight.
CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING
If the console displays become dim, replace all the
batteries at the same time; most console problems are
the result of low batteries. See assembly step 6 on
page 9 for replacement instructions.
If the handgrip pulse sensor does not function properly, see step 5 on page 19.
HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT
If you can feel the pedals slip while you are pedaling,
even when the resistance is adjusted to the highest
level, the drive belt may need to be adjusted.
To adjust the drive belt, you must remove the left
pedal, the rear shield cover, the top shield cover, and
the left shield (see the instructions below).
First, see step 15 on page 13 and remove the left
pedal.
Next, see step 16 on page 14 and remove the rear
shield cover.
Then, see step 4 on page 7 and release the top shield
cover from the left shield. Slide the top shield cover
upward.
Remove the M4 x 16mm Screws (92) from the Left
Shield (44) and then gently move the Left Shield outward over the Left Pedal Arm (14).

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.
25
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
