HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER ADAPTER

IMPORTANT: If the elliptical has been exposed to
cold temperatures, allow it to warm to room tem­perature before you plug in the power adapter. If
you do not do this, you may damage the console
displays or other electronic components.

Plug the power adapter
into the receptacle on
the front of the ellipti­cal. Then, plug the
power adapter into an
appropriate outlet that
is properly installed
in accordance with
all local codes and
ordinances.

HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL

Due to the size and weight of the elliptical, moving
it requires two persons. Stand in front of the elliptical,

hold the upright, and place one foot against one of the
front wheels. Pull on the upright and have a second
person lift the frame until the elliptical will roll on the
front wheels. Carefully move the elliptical to the desired
location, and then lower it to the floor.

Power Adapter

HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL

If the elliptical rocks
slightly on your
floor during use,
turn one or both
of the leveling feet
beneath the rear of
the frame until the
rocking motion is
eliminated.

HOW TO ADJUST THE STRIDE OF THE
ELLIPTICAL

To adjust the stride of the elliptical, first loosen one
of the adjustment knobs and pull it outward until the
adjustment arm pivots freely. Next, pivot the adjust­ment arm until the adjustment knob is aligned with
one of the holes in the handlebar leg, and release the
adjustment knob. Pivot the adjustment arm back and
forth slightly to make sure that the adjustment pin is
engaged in one of the holes in the handlebar leg. Then,
tighten the adjustment knob. Adjust the other adjust-

ment knob in the same way. Make sure that both
adjustment knobs are in the same position.

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL

To mount the elliptical, hold the handlebars and step
onto the pedal that is in the lower position. Then, step
onto the other pedal. Push the pedals until they begin
to move with a continuous motion. Note: The pedals

can turn in either direction. It is recommended that
you turn the pedals in the direction shown by the
arrow; however, for variety, you can turn the pedals
in the opposite direction.

To dismount the elliptical, wait until the pedals come to
a complete stop. Note: The elliptical 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.

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.

While you exercise, the console will display continu­ous exercise feedback. You can also measure your
heart rate using the handgrip heart rate monitor or the
optional chest heart rate monitor (see page 21 for

information about the optional chest heart rate
monitor).

In addition, the console offers twenty-six onboard
workouts—ten calories workouts, eight intensity work­outs, and eight performance workouts. Each workout
automatically changes the resistance of the pedals and
prompts you to vary your pedaling pace as it guides
you through an effective workout.

The console also features an iFit Live mode that
enables the console to communicate with your wireless
network through an optional iFit Live module. With the
iFit Live mode, you can download personalized work­outs, create your own workouts, track your workout
results, race against other runners, and access many
other features. To purchase an iFit Live module at

any time, go to www.iFit.com or call the telephone
number on the front cover of this manual.

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.

settings of the workout. A new segment will appear
at the end of each minute.

My Trail—This tab will show a track that repre-

sents 640 revolutions (1/4 mile or 400 meters). As
you exercise, the flashing rectangle will show your
progress. The My Trail tab will also show the num­ber of laps you are completing.

Calorie—This tab will show the approximate

amount of calories you have burned. The height of
each segment represents the amount of calories
burned during that segment.

As you exercise, the workout intensity level bar

will indicate the approximate intensity level of your

about the optional chest heart rate monitor).

Note: If you use both heart rate monitors at the

same time, the console will not display your
heart rate accurately.

If there are sheets of plastic on the metal

contacts on the handgrip heart rate monitor,
remove the plastic. To measure your heart rate,
hold the contacts. Avoid moving your hands or
gripping the contacts tightly.

Contacts

When your pulse is detected, a heart symbol will

flash in the display each time your heart beats, one
or two dashes will appear, and then your heart rate
will be shown. For the most accurate heart rate
reading, hold the contacts for at least 15 seconds.

17

If the display does not show your heart rate, make

sure that your hands are positioned as described.
Be careful not to move your hands excessively or
to squeeze the contacts tightly. For optimal perfor­mance, clean the contacts using a soft cloth; never
use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals to clean the
contacts.

HOW TO USE AN ONBOARD WORKOUT

See HOW TO TURN OFF THE CONSOLE on page

16.

2. Select an onboard workout.

To select an onboard workout, press the Calorie

Workouts button, the Intensity Workouts button, or
the Performance Workouts button repeatedly until
the desired workout appears in the display.

When you select an onboard workout, the display

will show the duration of the workout, the name
of the workout, the maximum speed (rpm) of the
workout, and the maximum resistance level. A
profile of the speed settings of the workout will also
appear in the matrix.

If you select a calorie workout, the approximate

number of calories you will burn will appear in the
name of the workout.

3. Begin pedaling to start the workout.

Each workout is divided into one-minute segments.

One resistance level and one target rpm (speed)
is programmed for each segment. Note: The same
resistance level and/or target rpm may be pro­grammed for consecutive segments.

The resistance level and the target rpm for the first

segment will appear in the matrix.

18

During the

workout, the
profiles on
the speed
tab will show
your progress.
The flash­ing segment
of the profile
represents the current segment of the workout. The
height of the flashing segment indicates the target
speed 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 and/or target rpm is programmed for
the next segment, the resistance level and/or target
rpm will appear in the display for a few seconds
to alert you. The resistance of the pedals will then
change.

Profile

If the resistance level for the current segment is

too high or too low, you can manually override
the setting by pressing the Resistance buttons.

IMPORTANT: When the current segment of the
workout ends, the pedals will automatically
adjust to the resistance level programmed for
the next segment.

Note: The calorie goal is an estimate of the

number of calories that you will burn during the
workout. The actual number of calories that you
burn will depend on your weight. In addition, if
you manually change the resistance level or if
your pedaling speed does not match the target
rpm during the workout, the number of calories
you burn will be affected.

The workout will continue in this way until the last

segment ends. To stop the workout at any time,
stop pedaling. The time will flash in the display. To
resume the workout, simply resume pedaling.

As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep

your pedaling speed near the target rpm for the
current segment. When an upward-pointing arrow
appears in the display, increase your speed. When
a downward-pointing arrow appears, decrease your
speed. When no arrow appears, maintain your cur­rent speed.

IMPORTANT: The target rpm is intended only to

provide motivation. Your actual pedaling speed
may be slower than the target rpm. Make sure
to pedal at a speed that is comfortable for you.

4. Follow your progress with the display.

See step 4 on page 16.

5. Measure your heart rate if desired.

See step 5 on page 17.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

I nspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical regularly.
Replace any worn parts immediately.

To clean the elliptical, 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 does not display your heart rate when
you hold the handgrip heart rate monitor, or if the dis­played heart rate appears to be too high or too low, see
step 5 on page 17.

HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL

If the elliptical rocks slightly on your floor during use,
see HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL on page 13.

HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH

If the console does not display correct feedback, the
reed switch should be adjusted.

First, remove the left large and small rail covers. Then
remove all of the screws from the left outer and inner
shields; there are two sizes of screws in the left

outer and inner shields—note which size of screw
you remove from each hole. Then, gently remove the

left outer shield.

Next, locate the Reed Switch (86). Turn the Pulley (53)
until a Magnet (88) is aligned with the Reed Switch.

53

88

67

86

Loosen, but do not remove, the indicated M4 x 16mm
Screw (67). Slide the Reed Switch (86) slightly closer
to or away from the Magnet (88), and then retighten
the Screw. Then, rock the Pulley (53) forward and
backward just enough that the Magnet passes the
Reed Switch repeatedly.

Repeat these actions until the console displays correct
feedback. When the reed switch is correctly adjusted,
reattach the left outer and inner shields and the left
large and small rail covers. Note: If you have questions
regarding which screw should be in which hole, see
EXPLODED DRAWING A on page 29 and the PART
LIST on page 27.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

WARNING: Before beginning this

or any exercise program, consult your physi­cian. This is especially important for persons
over age 35 or persons with pre-existing
health problems.

The heart rate monitor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The heart rate monitor 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.

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.

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 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.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-

ing 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.

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.

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.

23

SUGGESTED STRETCHES

The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right. 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

With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your
hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back foot
flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move your
hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times
for each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles tendons,
bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons and
ankles.

4. Quadriceps Stretch

1

4

With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp one
foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your buttocks
as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each
leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.

5. Inner Thigh Stretch

Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward.
Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for 15
counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip
muscles.
