3. While another person holds the Upright (2) in the posi-

tion shown, connect the Upper Wire Harness (86) to

the Lower Wire Harness (87). Carefully pull the

upper end of the Upper Wire Harness to remove

any slack. While holding the upper end of the

Upper Wire Harness, insert the Upright into the

Frame (1). Do not pinch the Wire Harnesses.

pinched and

damaged during

this step.

4. While another person holds the Console (5) in the

position shown, connect the wire harness on the

Console to the Upper Wire Harness (86). Insert the

excess wire harness into the Upright (2). Next, attach

the Console to the Upright with four M4 x 16mm

Screws (66). Be careful to avoid pinching the wire

harnesses.

amount of grease to an M10 x 78mm Button Bolt (27).

Attach the left Handlebar Leg to the left Front Flex

Bracket with the Button Bolt, two M10 Washers (38),

and an M10 Nylon Locknut (29). Do not overtighten

the Nylon Locknut; the left Handlebar Leg must be

able to pivot freely.

6. Identify the Left Handlebar (9), which is marked with a

sticker. Insert the Left Handlebar into one of the

Handlebar Legs (79); make sure that the Handlebar

Leg is turned so the hexagonal holes are on the

indicated side. Attach the Left Handlebar to the

Handlebar Leg with two M8 x 45mm Button Bolts (50)

left Flex Bar (14) with an M10 x 33mm Carriage Bolt

(20), an M10 Washer (38), and a Pedal Knob (15) as

Make sure that both Pedals are in the same position.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER

HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDALS

The motion of the

pedals is deter-

mined by their

positions on the

flex bars. There

are five positions.

To adjust each

pedal, first loosen

the knob beneath

the pedal. Next,

push the bolt

upward, slide the

pedal forward or backward to the desired position, and

then retighten the knob. Make sure that both pedals

are in the same position.

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL

CROSSTRAINER

To mount the elliptical crosstrainer, hold the handgrip

pulse sensor and step onto the pedal that is in the low-

est position. Then, 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 move the

pedal disks in the direction shown by the arrow

below; however, for variety, you can turn the pedal

disks in the opposite direction.

To dismount the elliptical crosstrainer, wait until the

pedals come to a complete stop. Note: 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 HANDLEBARS

The handlebars are

designed to add

upper-body exer-

cise to your work-

outs. Push and pull

the handlebars as

you exercise to

work your arms,

shoulders, and

back.

To exercise only

your lower body,

hold the handgrip

pulse sensor as

you exercise.

CAUTION:Before using the ellipti-

cal crosstrainer, read the following precau-

tions.

• Always hold the handgrip pulse sensor or the

handlebars when mounting, dismounting, or

using the elliptical crosstrainer.

• When you stop exercising, allow the pedals to

slowly come to a stop.

• The pulse sensor is not a medical device.

Various factors may affect the accuracy of

heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is

intended only as an exercise aid in determin-

ing heart rate trends in general.

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 pedals can be changed

with the touch of a button. As you pedal, the console

will provide continuous exercise feedback. You can

even measure your heart rate using the built-in hand-

grip pulse sensor.

The console also offers four Smart programs. Each pro-

gram automatically changes the resistance of the ped-

als 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 pro-

grams that change the resistance of the pedals and

prompt you to vary your pace to keep your heart rate

near a target heart rate as you exercise.

The console also features iFIT.com interactive technol-

ogy. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a per-

sonal trainer in your home. Using a stereo audio cable

(available at electronics stores), you can connect the

elliptical crosstrainer to your home stereo, portable

stereo, computer, or VCR and play special iFIT.com CD

and video programs (iFIT.com CDs and videocassettes

are available separately). iFIT.com CD and video pro-

grams automatically control the resistance of the ped-

als and prompt you to vary your pace as a personal

trainer coaches you through every step of your work-

out. High-energy music provides added motivation. To

purchase iFIT.com CDs and videocassettes, call

toll-free 1-800-735-0768.

With the elliptical crosstrainer connected to your com-

puter, you can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com

and access programs directly from the internet.

Explore www.iFIT.com for more information.

11. To use a Smart program, see page 13. To use a

Heart Rate program, see page 14. To use an

iFIT.com CD or videocassette, see page 18. To use
