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 display
continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure
your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor.
The console offers three interactive cross training
workouts designed to help you to burn calories and
enhance your cardiovascular system while toning and
strengthening your muscles. The cross training workouts automatically control the resistance of the pedals
and prompt you to perform a variety of strength exercises during your workout. Note: The strength exercises require the use of dumbbells and an inflatable exercise ball (not included). To purchase dumbbells or
an exercise ball, call 1-888-533-1333.
The console also offers two target toning workouts
designed to work specific areas of the body. The console guides you through each workout with a variety of
exercise instructions while automatically changing the
resistance of the pedals.
In addition, you can use three calorie goal workouts
designed to help you burn 300 or 400 calories in 30or 45-minute workouts. The calorie goal workouts
automatically control the resistance of the pedals and
prompt you to vary your pace while counting the calories you burn.
The console also has a high performance workout that
automatically changes the resistance of the pedals
and prompts you to vary your pace as it guides you
through an effective workout.
To use the manual mode, see page 15. To use a
cross training workout, see page 16. To use a target toning workout, see page 18. To use a calorie
goal workout, see page 19. To use the high performance workout, see page 20.

series of tones will sound, the console will pause,
and the time will flash in the display.
If the pedals do not move for about five minutes,
the console will turn off and the display will be
reset.
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.
16
As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep
our pedaling pace near the target rpm setting for
y
the current segment. When the words PEDAL
FASTER appear in the upper display or the GO
FASTER indicator on the pace guide is lit,
ncrease your pace. When the words PEDAL
i
SLOWER appear or the GO SLOWER indicator is
lit, decrease your pace. When the words PEDALING IN RANGE appear or when the center indicator is lit, 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.
Step off the elliptical exerciser and prepare to
egin the first strength exercise. Every few sec-
b
onds, the console will sound a tone; when a tone
sounds, perform one repetition of the exercise.
Exercise with a slow, steady motion; do not per-
orm more than one repetition each time a tone
f
sounds. The display will count down the repetitions
as you perform them.
Note: Refer to a weight training manual or exercise guide if you are unfamiliar with the correct
form for each strength exercise. When performing
lunges, alternate legs with each repetition. When
performing dumbbell rows, perform half the repetitions with your right arm and half the repetitions
with your left arm. The strength exercises require
the use of dumbbells and an inflatable exercise
ball (not included). To purchase dumbbells or an

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.
As you exercise, the console will display a variety
of exercise instructions that will help you get the
most benefit from your workout. For example, the
console may instruct you to PEDAL BACKWARD,
USE UPPER BODY, or FOCUS LOWER BODY
during certain segments of the workout.
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.

3. Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Each workout is divided into 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. The displays for a calorie goal workout will work in the
same way as the displays for a cross training
workout (see step 3 on page 16).
IMPORTANT: The target rpm settings are
intended only to provide motivation. Your actual pace may be slower than the target rpm set-
ings. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is com-
t
fortable for you. Note: If you manually override
the resistance settings of a calorie goal workout,
you may not reach your calorie goal.
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

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
nspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical exerciser
I
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.
CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING
If the console displays become 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. If the handgrip pulse sensor does not function properly, see step 5 on page 16.
HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH

H
f you can feel the
I
pedals slip while
you are pedaling,
even when the
resistance of the
pedals is at the
highest setting,
the Belt (46) may
need to be
adjusted. First,
remove all the
screws from both
shields; there are three sizes of screws in the
shields—note which size of screw you remove
from each hole. Then, gently pry the shields away
from the frame.

If the console does not display correct feedback, the
reed switch should be adjusted. First, remove all of the
screws from both shields; there are three sizes of
screws in the shields—note which size of screw
you remove from each hole. Then, gently pry the
shields away from the frame.
Next, locate the
Reed Switch
(58). Turn the
Left Pedal Disc
(26) until the
Magnet (41) is
aligned with the
Reed Switch.
Loosen, but do
not remove, the
indicated M4 x
16mm Screw
(84). Slide the Reed Switch slightly closer to or away
from the Magnet, and then retighten the Screw. Rock
the Left Pedal Disc forward and backward just enough
that the Magnet passes the Reed Switch repeatedly.
Repeat until the console displays correct feedback.
When the Reed Switch is correctly adjusted, reattach
the shields. Note: If you have questions as to which
screw should be in which hole, see EXPLODED
DRAWING B on page 27 and the PART LIST on page
24.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WARNING: Before beginning
his or any exercise program, consult your
t
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.
urning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exer-
B
cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of
ime. During the first few minutes of exercise, your
t
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
he correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right.
T
Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.
1. Toe Touch Stretch
Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from
your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach
down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts,
then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of
knees, and back.
2. Hamstring Stretch
Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot
toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended
leg. Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15
counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches:
Hamstrings, lower back, and groin.
3. Calf/Achilles Stretch
