HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

This product

must be

grounded.

If it should

malfunction

or break

down,

grounding

provides a

path of least

resistance for

electric

current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This prod-

uct is equipped with a cord having an equipment-

grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug the

power cord into an appropriate outlet that is prop-

erly installed and grounded in accordance with all

local codes and ordinances. This product is for

use on a nominal 120-volt circuit. Important: The

elliptical crosstrainer is not compatible with GFCI-

equipped outlets.

DANGER:Improper connection

of the equipment-grounding conductor can

result in an increased risk of electric shock.

Check with a qualified electrician or service-

man 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.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER

A temporary

adapter may

be used to

connect the

power cord

to a 2-pole

receptacle

as shown at

the right if a

properly

grounded

outlet is not

available. The temporary adapter should be used only

until a properly grounded outlet 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. Some 2-pole receptacle

outlet box covers are not grounded. Contact a

qualified electrician to determine if the outlet box

cover is grounded before using an adapter.

HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDALS

The motion of the

pedals is deter-

mined by their

positions on the

spring arms.

There are five dif-

ferent pedal posi-

tions. To adjust

the pedals, first

loosen the knob

beneath each

pedal. Slide the

pedals forward or

backward to the

desired position,

and then retighten

the knobs. Make

sure that both

pedals are in the same position.

EXERCISING ON THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER

To mount the elliptical crosstrainer, hold the handgrip

pulse sensor and step onto the pedal that is in the

lowest position. Next, step onto the other pedal. Push

the pedals until they begin to move with a continuous

motion. Note: The pedal disks can turn in either

direction. It is recommended that you turn the

pedal disks in the direction shown by the arrow

below. To give variety to your exercise, turn the

pedal disks in the opposite direction.

To dismount the elliptical crosstrainer, wait until the

pedals come to a complete stop. The elliptical

crosstrainer does not have a free wheel; the ped-

als will continue to move until the flywheel stops.

When the pedals are stationary, step off the highest

pedal first. Then, step off the lowest pedal.

HOW TO USE THE UPPER BODY AR S

As you exercise,

push and pull the

upper body arms

in order to work

your arms, back,

and shoulders. To

exercise only your

lower body, hold

the handgrip pulse

sensor as you

exercise.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The advanced console offers a selection of features

designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and

effective. When the manual mode of the console is

selected, the resistance of the elliptical crosstrainer

and the angle of the incline ramp can be changed with

a touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will

provide continuous exercise feedback. You can even

measure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sen-

sor. (For information about an optional chest pulse sen-

sor, refer to page 19.)

The console also offers eight smart workout programs.

Each program automatically changes the resistance of

the elliptical crosstrainer and prompts you to increase

or decrease your pace as it guides you through an

effective workout.

In addition, the console features two heart rate work-

out programs that automatically change the resistance

of the elliptical crosstrainer and prompt you to vary

your pace to keep your heart rate near a target heart

rate as you exercise.

The console also features new iFIT.com interactive

technology. IFIT.com technology is like having a per-

sonal trainer right in your home. Using the included

audio cable, you can connect the elliptical crosstrainer

to your home stereo, portable stereo, or computer and

play special iFIT.com CD programs (CDs are available

separately). IFIT.com CD programs automatically con-

trol the resistance of the elliptical crosstrainer and

prompt you to vary your pace as a personal trainer

coaches you through every step of your workout. High-

energy music provides added motivation. Each CD fea-

tures two programs designed by certified personal

trainers.

In addition, you can connect the elliptical crosstrainer

to your VCR and TV and play iFIT.com video programs

(videocassettes are available separately). Video pro-

grams offer the same benefits as iFIT.com CD pro-

grams, but add the excitement of working out with a

class and an instructor.

With the elliptical crosstrainer connected to your com-

puter, you can also go to our new Web site at

www.iFIT.com and access audio programs and video

programs directly from the internet.

To purchase iFIT.com CDs and videocassettes, call

toll-free 1-800-735-0768.
