IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precau-

tions before using the elliptical exerciser.

1. Read all instructions in this manual and all

warnings on the elliptical exerciser before

using the elliptical exerciser.

2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure

that all users of the elliptical exerciser are

adequately informed of all precautions.

3. The elliptical exerciser is intended for

home use only. Do not use the elliptical

exerciser in a commercial, rental, or institu-

tional setting.

4. Keep the elliptical exerciser indoors, away

from moisture and dust. Place the elliptical

exerciser on a level surface, with a mat

beneath it to protect the floor or carpet.

Make sure that there is enough clearance

around the elliptical exerciser to mount, dis-

mount, and use it.

5. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-

larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

6. Keep children under 12 and pets away from

the elliptical exerciser at all times.

7. The elliptical exerciser should not be used

by persons weighing more than 250 pounds.

8. Wear appropriate athletic clothes and athlet-

ic shoes while using the elliptical exerciser.

9. Always hold the handles on the console or

the handlebars while mounting, dismounting,

or using the elliptical exerciser.

10. Keep your back straight while using the ellip-

tical exerciser; do not arch your back.

11. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.

Various factors, including the user's move-

ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate

readings. The pulse sensor is intended only

as an exercise aid in determining heart rate

trends in general.

12. If you feel pain or dizziness while exercis-

ing, stop immediately and cool down.

13. When you stop exercising, allow the pedals

to slowly come to a stop.

14. The warning decal shown on page 4 has

been applied to the elliptical exerciser. If the

decal is missing, or if it is not legible, call

toll-free 1-888-533-1333 and order a free

replacement decal. Apply the decal in the

location shown.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL

EXERCISER

To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the handles on

the console or the handlebars and step onto the pedal

that is in the lowest 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; however, for variety, you can turn the pedal

disks in the opposite direction.

To dismount the elliptical exerciser, wait until the ped-

als come to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical

exerciser does not have a free wheel; the pedals

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.

The handlebars are designed to add upper-body exer-

cise to your workouts. As you exercise, push and pull

the handlebars to work your arms, shoulders, and

back.

Handlebars

HOW TO USE THE CONSOLE

Turn on the console.

Note: The console requires four 1.5V “D” batteries

(see assembly step 3 on page 6). If there is a

sheet of clear plastic on the face of the console,

peel off the plastic.

To turn on the console, press the increase button

or begin pedaling.

Change the resistance of the pedals as

desired.

As you pedal,

change the resis-

tance of the ped-

als by pressing

the increase or

decrease button.

There are ten

resistance levels. The selected resistance level

will be shown in the upper display. Note: After a

button is pressed, it will take a moment for the

pedals to reach the selected resistance level.

Follow your progress with the displays.

As you exercise,

the lower left dis-

play can show

the elapsed time

and the distance

(total number of

revolutions) that you have pedaled.

The lower right

display can show

your pedaling

speed (in revolu-

tions per minute)

and the approxi-

mate number of calories you have burned. When

you use the handgrip pulse sensor, the lower

right display will also show your heart rate (see

step 4 on page 11).
