ASSEMBLY

Assembly requires two persons. Place all parts of the elliptical crosstrainer in a cleared area and remove the

packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed.

Assembly requires the following tools: the included allen wrench, a phillips screwdriver ,

an adjustable wrench , a rubber mallet , and pliers .

As you assemble the elliptical crosstrainer, use the drawings below to identify the small parts used in assembly.

The number in parenthesis below each drawing refers to the key number of the part, from the PART LIST on

page 18. The second number refers to the quantity used in assembly. Note: Some small parts may have been

pre-attached for shipping. If a part is not in the parts bag, check to see if it has been pre-assembled.

1. Hold the Rear Stabilizer (65) against the saddle on the

rear of the Frame (1). Make sure that the Stabilizer is

turned so the square holes are facing away from the

Frame. Attach the Stabilizer with two M10 x 105mm

Carriage Bolts (27) and two M10 Nylon Locknuts (26).

2. Turn the Resistance Control (57) counterclockwise to

the minimum setting.

If the Resistance Control (57) is attached to the Upright

(2), remove the M4 x 16mm Screw (35). Pull the bot-

tom of the Resistance Control away from the Upright

and then slide it down to remove it. 57

3. Lay a cloth over the front of the Frame (1) to protect it.

Lay the Upright (2) in the position shown. Connect the

Extension Wire (51) to the Reed Switch Wire (50).

Next, connect the Resistance Cable (57) to the

Extension Cable (84) in the following way:

¥ Refer to drawing A. Pull up on the metal bracket, and

insert the tip of the Resistance Cable (57) into the

wire clip on the Extension Cable (84) as shown.

¥ Refer to drawing B. Firmly pull the Resistance Cable

(57) and slide it into the metal bracket on the

Extension Cable (84) as shown.

¥ Refer to drawing C. Using pliers, squeeze the prongs

on the upper end of the metal bracket together.

5. Attach the Incline Bracket (24) to the lower end of the

Upright (2) with the M10 x 85mm Bolt (25) and an M10

Nylon Locknut (26). Do not overtighten the Nylon

Locknut; the Incline Bracket must pivot easily.

4. Align the two holes in the front of the Upright (2) with

the two welded bolts on the front of the Frame (1).

Carefully push the Reed Switch Wire (not shown) into

the Upright until there is no slack.

Next, pivot the Upright (2) about halfway to the vertical

position while guiding the metal bracket on the

Extension Cable (not shown) into the Upright. Once

the top edge of the metal bracket is inside the Upright,

pivot the Upright to the vertical position so it rests on

the four welded bolts on the Frame (1). Be careful to

avoid pinching the wires. Tighten a M10 Nylon

Locknut (26) onto each welded bolt.

Refer to assembly step 2. Insert the tab on the Resis-

tance Control (57) into the Upright (2). Next, press the

bottom of the Resistance Control against the Upright.

Tighten the M4 x16mm Screw (35) into the Resistance

Control and the Upright.

wire on the Console (87).

Next, connect the two Pulse Wires (86) to the two

remaining wires on the Console (87). Note: Either

Pulse Wire can be attached to either wire on the

Console.

Next, connect the ground wire to the indicated hole in

the Upright (2) with an M4 x 16mm Screw (35).

Carefully feed the wires down into the Upright (2).

Attach the Console Base (49) to the Upright with four

M4 x 16mm Screws (35). Be careful to avoid pinch-

ing the wires.

drawing. Make sure that the negative ends of the

batteries (marked ÒÑÓ) are touching the springs in

the battery clip.

one end of the Incline Axle (29). Next, apply a small

amount of the included grease to the Incline Axle.

Align the indicated tubes on the Incline Frame (5) with

the tubes on the Base (1). Make sure that the Incline

Frame is turned so the V-shaped grooves are on

onto the other Axle Screw (30). Tighten the Axle Screw

into the open end of the Incline Axle (29).

10. Apply grease to an M8 x 108mm Bolt (79). Slide an M8

Washer (81) onto the Bolt and insert the Bolt into the

indicated side of the Left Pedal Arm (3). Be careful not

to confuse the Left Pedal Arm with the Right Pedal

Arm (not shown); look at the position of the round

tube to identify the Left Pedal Arm. Next, slide a

Spacer (44), a Pedal Wheel (77), and another Spacer

(44) onto the Bolt and push the Bolt through the other

side of the Left Pedal Arm.

Next, slide a Tube Spacer (82), a Chrome Tube (21),

and an M8 Washer (81) onto the M8 x 108mm Bolt

(79). Tighten an M8 Nylon Locknut (80) onto the Bolt.

Attach the other Chrome Tube (not shown) to the Right

Pedal Arm (not shown) in the same way.

9. Identify the Left Pedal Arm (3), which has an ÒLÓ sticker

on it. Be careful not to confuse the Left Pedal Arm

with the Right Pedal Arm (not shown); look at the

position of the round tube in the inset drawing to

identify the Left Pedal Arm. Next, identify the Left

Pedal (41), which has the letter ÒLÓ molded onto the

bottom.

Turn over the Left Pedal Arm (3) as shown. Insert the

three plastic posts on the Left Pedal (41) into the three

indicated holes in the Left Pedal Arm. Make sure that

the Left Pedal is turned as shown. Attach the Left

may be left over after assembly is completed. To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat

under the elliptical crosstrainer.

12. Refer to the inset drawing. Apply a small amount of

the included Teflon¨lubricant to a paper towel; rub a

thin film of the lubricant onto each of the Chrome

Tubes (21). Slide an Upper Body Arm (7) onto each

Chrome Tube. Make sure that the Upper Body Arms

are turned as shown.

Tap a 5/8Ó Axle Cap (85) onto one end of the Axle

(19). Insert the Axle through one of the Upper Body

Arms (7) and then through the Upright (2). Slide the

other Upper Body Arm (7) onto the Axle. Tap another

5/8Ó Axle Cap (85) onto the Axle.

11. Apply a small amount of grease to the axle on the left

Crank Arm (6).

Slide a Nylon Washer (11) and the Left Pedal Arm (3)

onto the axle on the left Crank Arm (6). Note: It may be

helpful to use a rubber mallet to tap these parts on. Be

careful not to confuse the Left Pedal Arm with the

Right Pedal Arm (not shown); look at the position

of the round tube to identify the Left Pedal Arm.

Next, tap a 3/4Ó Axle Cap (61) onto the axle.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER

EXERCISING ON THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER

To mount the elliptical crosstrainer, hold the handlebar

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 move the pedal disks in

the direction shown below; however, to give vari-

ety to your exercise, you may choose to turn the

pedal disks in the opposite direction.

To dismount the elliptical crosstrainer, wait until the

pedals come to a complete stop. Important: The

elliptical crosstrainer 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.

HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE

To adjust the

intensity of your

exercise, the

resistance of the

pedals can be

adjusted. To

increase the

resistance, turn

the resistance

control clockwise;

to decrease the

resistance, turn

the control coun-

terclockwise.
