Assembly Instructions

■■■■ UNPACKING THE UNIT

1. Carefully remove all parts from carton and inspect for any damage or missing parts. If

damaged parts are found, or parts are missing, contact your dealer immediately.

2. Locate the hardware package. The hardware is separated into steps. Remove the tools

first. Remove the hardware for each step as needed to avoid confusion.

STEP 1: REAR RAIL ASSEMBLY

1. Remove the hardware from the hardware pack for step 1. You should have four

3-3/4” X 3/8” bolts, four curved washers, two 1/4” X 3/8” bolts, two flat washers

and six 3/4” X 1/8” Phillips head screws.

2. Put the two flat washers on the 2-1/4” bolts and hand-tighten them, through the

top of the middle stabilizer tube, into the rear rail assembly.

3. Put the four curved washers on the 3-3/4” bolts and hand-tighten them through

the front of the middle stabilizer tube, into the rear rail assembly.

4. Using the wrench provided tighten all six bolts securely.

5. Locate the four plastic covers (XE150, XE350 only) for the rear rail assembly

and the one cover for the front stabilizer and install them using the six 3/4” X

1/4“ screws and the Phillips head screw driver provided.

STEP 2: CONSOLE MAST ASSEMBLY

1. Remove the hardware from the hardware pack for step 2. You should have one

2-3/4” X 3/8” bolt, one lock washer, two 1” X 3/8” bolts, two curved washers and

four 1/2” X 1/4” Phillips head screws.

2. Locate the console mast and console mast cover and slide the cover onto the

mast as far as it will go. Make sure the cover is facing the correct way.

3. At the top opening of the main body of the elliptical is a wire harness. Unravel

and straighten out the wire harness and feed it into the bottom of the console

mast tube and out of the top opening.

4. Install the console mast into the receiving bracket in the top of the main body.

XE Series Elliptical

NOTE: there is one bolt already installed in the receiving bracket that will engage

with the slot at the bottom of the console mast. This needs to be tightened at the

end along with the three other console mast bolts.

5. Put the flat washer onto the 2 3/4” bolt and the two curved washers onto the two

1” bolts. Install, and hand tighten, the 2 3/4” bolt through the left side of the

receiving tube into the console mast. NOTE: There is a wire running through the

tube. Be careful not to damage or pinch this wire during this procedure. Damage

to the electronic console could result. Install, and hand tighten, the two 1” bolts

through the front of the receiving tube into the console mast.

6. Using the two sided wrench tighten the three bolts, and the fourth bolt which is

pre-installed, firmly. These bolts should be tightened as much as you possibly

can.

7. Locate the electronic console and the four 1/2” X 1/4” Phillips head screws.

8. There will be two electrical wire connectors at the top opening of the console

mast, one 4 pin (hand pulse sensors), one 10 pin (main wire harness). Connect

these to the mating connectors on the back of the console. The connectors are

keyed so you cannot plug them in the wrong way so do not force them.

9. Storing the excess wire back into the console mast, carefully install the console

onto the mounting plate and secure using the four Phillips head screws.

STEP 3: HANDLE BAR ASSEMBLY

1. Remove the hardware from the hardware pack for step 3. You should have two

5/8” X 3/8” bolts, two large flat washers, two large wave washers and four self

tapping Phillips head screws.

2. Locate and install the 2 large wave washers onto the handle bar axle, one on

each side.

3. Slide the left and right handle bars onto the appropriate side of the axle. There is

a sticker on each handle bar indicating L for left and R for right.

4. Put the large flat washers onto the two 5/8” X 3/8” bolts and install, and tighten,

in the threaded holes in the ends of the axle.

5. Install the plastic covers over the handle bar/axle connections with the six self

tapping Phillips head screws.

STEP 4: FOOT PAD/CONNECTING ARM ASSEMBLY

1. Remove the hardware from the hardware pack for step 4. You should have two

1-1/4” X 3/8” bolts, two flat washers, two Nyloc® nuts, four 5/8” machine screws

(long), four 3/8” machine screws (short) and two self tapping Phillips head

XE Series Elliptical

screws.

2. On the pedal arms, in the middle on top, there are two axles already installed in

the bushing housings. Remove, from one side of each axle, the bolt (one should

be loose) and washer. Remove the axle and set aside for the next step.

3. Locate the left foot pad/connecting arm. Holding the rear of the foot pad with

your right hand and the connecting arm, just in front of the foot pad, with your left

hand, place the foot pad over the bushing housing.

4. Holding the axle (removed in step 2) in one hand, and the foot pad in the other,

line up the large hole in the side of the bracket (under the foot pad) with the hole

in the bushing housing and insert the axle all the way until the washer is flush

against the bracket. You may have to wiggle the axle while moving the foot pad

slightly to get the axle to go in.

5. Take the bolt and washer that you removed from the axle in step 2 and thread it

into the hole in the axle. Tighten the bolt using two wrenches provided. You have

to put a wrench on both axle bolts to tighten firmly.

6. Align the hole in the end of the connecting arm (pivoting rod end) with the hole in

the bracket of the handle bar. The rod end should be on the inside of the handle

bar bracket. Take one of the 1-1/4” X 3/8” bolts and install it through the handle

bar bracket and the rod end. Install a flat washer and Nyloc® nut on the bolt and

tighten firmly using a wrench on the nut and one on the bolt.

7. Repeat for the right side foot pad/connecting arm.

8. Install the plastic covers over the connection of the rod end and handle bar. The

front inside hole in the plastic uses a self tapping screw and the two rear holes

use the 3/8” machine screws (short). There is a short Phillips screw driver

provided for installing the inside screws.

9. Install the two wheel covers using the four 5/8” machine screws (long).

10. Install the locking pins for the adjustable foot pads into the desired holes (XE350,

XE550 only). *See Foot pad angle adjustment section for details of this feature.

11. This step is for the XE550 only. Install the two plastic parts that make up the rear

shroud using the seven Phillips head screws.
