The following guidelines will help you to plan your
exercise program. Remember that 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, the key to achieving the
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.
The proper intensity level can be found by using your
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recommended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat
burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
at the bottom line of the chart (ages are rounded off to
the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers
above your age. The three numbers are your “training
zone.” The lowest number is the recommended heart
rate for fat burning; the middle number is the recommended heart rate for maximum fat burning; the highest number is the recommended heart rate for aerobic
exercise.
Fat Burning
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener-
gy. 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 num-
ber in your training zone as you exercise. For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your exercise
until your heart rate is near the middle number in your
training zone as you exercise.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen
for prolonged periods of time. This increases the
demand on the heart to pump blood to the muscles,
and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until
your heart rate is near the highest number in your
training zone.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE
To measure your
heart rate, first exercise for at least four
minutes. Then, stop
exercising and place
two fingers on your
wrist as shown. Take
a six-second heartbeat count, and multiply the result by 10 to find your heart rate. For example, if your six-second heartbeat count is 14, your
heart rate is 140 beats per minute. (A six-second
count is used because your heart rate will drop rapidly
when you stop exercising.)
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your
body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heart rate in your training
zone. Note: During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your heart rate in your
training zone for longer than 20 minutes.
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This
will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will
help to prevent post-exercise problems.
CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
WARNING:Before beginning
this or any exercise program, consult your
physician. This is especially important for
persons over the age of 35 or persons with
pre-existing health problems.
Page 5
58
Inspect and properly tighten all parts each time you
use the cross-country skier. Once every three months,
apply a few drops of light multi-purpose oil to the hubs
of the pulleys at the ends of the cross-country skier.
CONSOLE
If the console does not function properly, or if the display becomes faint, the batteries should be replaced.
See assembly step 3 on page 4 for installation
instructions.
SKI PEDALS
The cords connecting the ski
pedals may
stretch slightly
when the
cross-country
skier is first
used. If necessary, turn the
Resistance
Knob (41)
clockwise to remove any slack from the cords. If there
is slack in the cords, the cords could slip off the pulleys at the ends of the ski rails.
If the movement of the Ski
Pedals (33)
becomes
rough or noisy,
clean the Ski
Rails (1) and
the Ski Pedal
Wheels (23)
with a soft, dry cloth. Next, apply silicon oil to the Ski
Rails where the Ski Pedal Wheels make contact.
(Silicon oil is available at most automotive and hardware stores.) Apply silicon oil at least once every
three months.
If the movement of the Ski Pedals (33) is still rough,
the Ski Pedal Wheels (23) may need to be replaced.
See the back cover of this manual.
UPPER BODY ARMS
If a squeaking sound is heard when the upper body
arms are moved, a small amount of grease may be
applied. Refer to the drawing below. Turn the
Resistance
Dial (19)
counterclockwise
and remove
it. Remove
the Round
Spring
Washer
(54). Using
pliers, grip
the head of
the M10 Carriage Bolt (21) and remove it. Apply a thin
film of grease to both sides of the Upper Body Arms
(24, 25) in the indicated locations. Reattach all parts,
making sure that they are in the positions shown.
STORAGE
When the
cross-country
skier is not in
use, it can be
folded to the
compact stowaway position.
Remove the
Lock Knob (30)
and the M10
Washer (18)
from the lower end of the Upright (26). Fold down the
Upright. Thread the Lock Knob and the M10 Washer
into the Upright for storage.

HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE OF THE SKI
PEDALS
To vary the intensity of your exercise, the resistance
of the ski pedals can be adjusted. The resistance is
controlled with the Resistance Knob (41) at the back
of the cross-country skier. CAUTION: Always dis-
mount the cross-country skier before adjusting
the resistance of the ski pedals.
To increase the
resistance of the
ski pedals, turn
the Resistance
Knob (41) clockwise; to decrease
the resistance,
turn the Knob
counterclockwise.
Note: The cords
connecting the
ski pedals may stretch slightly when the cross-country
skier is first used. If necessary, turn the Knob clockwise to remove any slack from the cords. If there is
slack in the cords, the cords may slip off the pulleys at
the ends of the ski rails.
To vary the intensity of your exercise, use the upper
body arms (see the section below), or change the
pace of your exercise.
HOW TO USE THE UPPER BODY ARMS IN THE
DUAL-MOTION POSITION
The Upper Body
Arms (24, 25)
can be used in
either the dualmotion position or
the stationary
position. To use
the Upper Body
Arms in the dualmotion position,
remove the Lock
Pin (29) from the
Upper Body Arms and the Upright (26). Insert the
Lock Pin into the storage hole.
The resistance of the Upper Body Arms (24, 25) can
be adjusted with the Resistance Dial (19) on the side
of the cross-country skier (see the drawing above). To
increase the resistance, turn the Dial clockwise; to decrease the resistance, turn the Dial counterclockwise.
To exercise, hold
both Upper Body
Arms (24, 25), step
onto the Ski Pedals
(33), and centre
your feet on the
Pedals. The correct
form for exercising
on the cross-country skier is similar
to the motion of
walking. Move your
arms and legs forward and backward
with a smooth, continuous motion. Be
sure to keep your
back straight and
your knees bent
slightly.
For effective aerobic exercise, short, rapid strides at
low resistance are recommended. To strengthen the
muscles, long, slow strides at higher resistance are
recommended.
HOW TO USE THE UPPER BODY ARMS IN THE
STATIONARY POSITION
To use the Upper
Body Arms (24,
25) in the stationary position, align
the holes in the
Upper Body Arms
with the hole in the
Upright (26). Insert
the Lock Pin (29)
through all parts.
Note: If it is difficult
to insert the Lock
Pin, do not hit the
Lock Pin. Twist the Upper Body Arms slightly in order
to align the holes.
Next, tighten the Resistance Dial (19) on the side of
the cross-country skier (see the drawing above).
To use the Upper Body Arms (24, 25) in the stationary
position, exercise as described at the top of this page,
but hold the Upper Body Arms for support and use
only your legs.

approximate number of fat calories you have
burned. (See FAT BURNING on page 9 for an
explanation of fat calories.)
• Calories (CALS)—This mode shows the approximate number of calories you have burned. (This
number includes both fat calories and carbohydrate
calories. See FAT BURNING on page 9.)
• Scan—This mode displays the calories, fat calories,
reps per minute, time, and distance modes, for a
few seconds each, in a repeating cycle.
STEP-BY-STEP CONSOLE OPERATION
Before the console can be operated, batteries
must be installed (see assembly step 3 on page 4). If
there is a thin sheet of clear plastic on the face of the
console, remove it.
Follow the steps below to operate the console.
Turn on the power
To turn on the power, press the on/reset button or
simply begin exercising on the cross-country
skier. When the power is turned on, the entire display will appear for two seconds. The console will
then be ready for use. Note: If batteries were just
installed, the power will already be on.
Select one of the three pacer programs or the
manual mode
To select a
pacer program,
repeatedly press
the program button. The program indicator
will show which
program you
have selected. To select the manual mode, press
the program button until the program indicator disappears. The programs will be selected in the following order: program 1 (Interval), program 2
(Aerobic), program 3 (Fat Burn), manual mode.
Begin your workout
If you selected
the manual
mode, go to
step 4. If you
selected a
pacer program,
two columns of
bars will appear
in the display.
The left column
will show one bar, showing that the target pace is
40 strides per minute. The right column will show
your actual pace. Adjust your pace until only one
bar appears in the right column. As the program
progresses, the target pace will change periodically; as the target pace changes, adjust your
pace to keep both columns at the same height.
Important: The target pace is a goal pace. Your
actual pace may be slower than the target
pace, especially during the first few months of
your exercise program. Be sure to exercise at
a pace that is comfortable for you.
Follow your progress with the monitor modes
When the
power is turned
on, the scan
mode will be
selected. One
mode indicator
will show that
the scan mode
is selected, and a flashing mode indicator will
show which mode is currently displayed. Note: If
you select a different mode, you can select the
scan mode again by repeatedly pressing the mode
button.
If desired, you can select only the reps per
minute, time, distance, fat calories, or calories
mode for continuous display. Repeatedly press
the mode button. The mode indicators will show
which mode is selected. (Make sure that the scan
mode is not selected.)
If desired, reset the display by pressing the
on/reset button.
Turn off the power
To turn off the power, simply wait for a few
minutes. If the ski pedals are not moved and the
console buttons are not pressed for a few minutes, the power will turn off automatically.

DIAGRAM OF THE CONSOLE
DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE
The innovative console offers a manual mode and
three pacer programs. The pacer programs are
designed to help you achieve specific exercise goals
by pacing your exercise. The programs include a stamina-building Interval program, an Aerobic program,
and a special Fat Burn program. Whether you select
the manual mode or one of the pacer programs, the
console will provide continuous exercise feedback during your workouts. Please read pages 6 and 7 before
operating the console.
HOW THE PACER PROGRAMS OPERATE
When you use a
pacer program, two
columns of bars will
appear in the display. The left column
will show a target
pace; the right column will show your
actual pace. The target pace will change
periodically during the program; as the target pace
changes, simply adjust your pace to keep both
columns at the same height. Important: The target
pace is a goal pace. Your actual pace may be slower than the target pace, especially during the first
few months of your exercise program. Be sure to
exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.
The graphs on the left side of the console show how
the target pace will change during the programs.
Look at the graphs for a moment (see the drawing
above). Each graph is divided into ten columns, with
six bars in each column. The columns represent twominute time periods, and the red bars show what the
target pace will be. In the first column of the Fat Burn
graph, for example, there is one red bar. This shows
that during the first two minutes of the Fat Burn program, the target pace will be 40 repetitions (strides)
per minute (see the scale at the right end of the
graph). In the second column there are five red bars.
This shows that during the second two-minute time
period, the target pace will be 80 strides per minute.
Note: Because there are ten two-minute periods, each
program will last for twenty minutes.
DESCRIPTION OF THE MONITOR MODES
The six monitor modes provide continuous exercise
feedback. The modes are described below.
• Reps per minute (REPS MIN)—This mode shows
your pace, in repetitions (strides) per minute.
• Time—If you select one of the three pacer programs, this mode will count down the time remaining in the program. If you select the manual mode,
this mode will count up the length of time you have
exercised. Note: If you stop exercising for ten seconds or longer, the time mode will pause.
