IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING - Read all instructions before using this appliance.

DANGER - To reduce the risk of electric shock disconnect your elliptical from the

electrical outlet prior to cleaning and/or service work.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, install

the elliptical on a flat level surface with access to a 110-volt, 15-amp (220-volt, 10-amp)
grounded outlet with only the elliptical plugged into the circuit.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD UNLESS IT IS A 14AWG OR BETTER,
WITH ONLY ONE OUTLET ON THE END: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISABLE THE
GROUNDED PLUG BY USING IMPROPER ADAPTERS, OR IN ANY WAY
MODIFY THE CORD SET.

A serious shock or fire hazard may result along with computer malfunctions. See Grounding Instructions, page 4

 Do not operate elliptical on deeply padded, plush or shag carpet. Damage to

both carpet and elliptical may result.

 Keep children away from the elliptical. There are obvious pinch points and

other caution areas that can cause harm.

 Keep hands away from all moving parts.
 Never operate the elliptical if it has a damaged cord or plug. If the elliptical is

not working properly, call your dealer.

 Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
 Do not operate where aerosol spray products are being used or where oxygen

is being administered. Sparks from the motor may ignite a highly gaseous
environment.

 Never drop or insert any object into any openings.
 Do not use outdoors.
 To disconnect, turn all controls to the off position and then remove the plug

from the outlet.

 Do not attempt to use your elliptical for any purpose other than for the purpose

it is intended.

 The hand pulse sensors are not medical devices. Various factors, including

the user’s movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The
pulse sensors are intended only as exercise aids in determining heart rate
trends in general.

 Wear proper shoes. High heels, dress shoes, sandals or bare feet are not

suitable for use on your elliptical. Quality athletic shoes are recommended to
avoid leg fatigue.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - THINK SAFETY!

IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING!
NEVER remove any cover without first disconnecting AC power.
If voltage varies by ten percent (10%) or more, the performance of your elliptical may
be affected. Such conditions are not covered under your warranty. If you suspect
the voltage is low, contact your local power company or a licensed electrician for
proper testing.
NEVER expose this elliptical to rain or moisture. This product is NOT designed for use
outdoors, near a pool or spa, or in any other high humidity environment. The operating
temperature specification is 40 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and humidity is 95%
non-condensing (no water drops forming on surfaces).

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be grounded. If the elliptical should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current, reducing the risk of
electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in
a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in
doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the product if it will not fit the outlet; have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician. This product is for use on a nominal 110-volt circuit, and has a

grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated below. A temporary adapter that looks
like the adapter illustrated below may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle
as shown below if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter
should be used only until a properly grounded outlet, (shown below) can be installed by a
qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear-lug, or the like, extending from the
adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet
box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.

IMPORTANT OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

 NEVER operate this elliptical without reading and completely understanding the

results of any operational change you request from the computer.

 Understand that changes in resistance and incline do not occur immediately. Set

your desired resistance level on the computer console and release the adjustment
key. The computer will obey the command gradually.

 NEVER use your elliptical during an electrical storm. Surges may occur in your

household power supply that could damage elliptical components. Unplug the
elliptical during an electrical storm as a precaution.

 Use caution while participating in other activities while using your elliptical; such as

watching television, reading, etc. These distractions may cause you to lose balance;
which may result in serious injury.

 Always hold on to a handle bar while making control changes (incline, level, etc.).
 Do not use excessive pressure on console control keys. They are precision set to

function properly with little finger pressure. If you feel the buttons are not functioning
properly with normal pressure contact your dealer.

POWER CONNECTOR - FRONT, LEFT SIDE OF UNIT

TRANSPORT INSTRUCTIONS

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1

INCLINE RAIL & CONSOLE MAST

HARDWARE STEP 1

1.

Install the Incline Rail Assembly (2) into the U-channel bracket of
the main frame (1). Secure with the six bolts & associated hardware
as follows: From the sides install two Hex Head Bolts (117) with two
Flat Washers (158) and two Nylon Nuts (145). From the top install
four Hex Head Bolts (115), four Split Washers (166), four Flat
Washers (154), and four Star Washers (168), and tighten with the
Wrenches provided (169 & 172).

2.

Connect the three Incline Motor Power lines by matching the Red,
White and Black color codes of the wires (43) and the 3-pin position
Sensor Connector (44). Locate the Console Mast (12) and Console
Mast Cover (83) and slide the Cover onto the Mast as far as it will
go. Make sure the Console Mast Cover is facing the correct way. At
the top opening of the Main Frame of the elliptical is a Computer
Cable (45); Secure the free end of the twist tie that exits the bottom
of the console mast (12) to this cable. Pull the opposite end of this
twist tie up through the console mast (12) until the cable exits the
top. Install the Console Mast (12) into the receiving bracket on the
top of the Main Frame (1). Pull slightly on the computer cable at the
top of the mast while installing. This will ensure the cable does not
get pinched and shorted during console mast assembly.

3.

Put one Split Washer (167) onto the Long Hex Head Bolt (118) and
install through the left side of the receiving bracket into the Console
Mast (12). Put the two Curved Washers (164) onto the two Short
Hex Head Bolts (116) and install through the front of the console
mast. Using Wrench (169), tighten the (116) bolts first, then the
(118) bolt, and lastly the fourth bolt, which is pre-installed, firmly.
These bolts should be tightened as much as you possibly can. This
is the main joint of the unit. If not tightened sufficiently, this could
lead to noise and instability issues.

4.

Plug the Computer Cable (45), Ground Wire (192), two Hand pulse
Cables (52 & 56), and the Resistance & Incline wires (184 & 185)
into the back of the console. Secure the Console (40) onto the
console mounting plate with four Phillips Head Screws (128).
Tighten with the Phillips Head Screw Driver (170 or 171).

CONNECTING & LOWER SWING ARMS

HARDWARE STEP 2

1.

Slide two wave washers (163) onto each side of the swing arm axle.
Slide the Lower Handle Bars (25 Left, 26 Right) onto the axles and
secure with the two Hex Head Bolts (116) and Flat Washers (160).
Do not force the swing arms onto the axle. They should slide on,
but you may need to jiggle them to get them lined up properly. The
swing arms have been previously installed at the factory so they do
fit properly.

2.

Remove the tie that holds the Rod End Sleeve (19) in the rod
located at the end of the right pedal arm and line up the rod end
with the bracket at the bottom of the lower right Handle Bar (26).
Slide the Hex Head Bolt (114) through the bracket of the lower
Handle Bar and and then through the Rod End Sleeve (19) of the
rod end. Install the Flat Washer (154) and Nyloc Nut (143) on the
bolt and tighten as much as possible. Repeat this step for the left
side (25). Tighten hardware with the wrenches(169 & 172).
