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

In addition to the included allen wrench, assembly requires a phillips screwdriver , two adjustable

wrenches , a rubber mallet , and a pair of pliers .

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL TRAINER

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL TRAINER

To mount the elliptical trainer, firmly hold the handle-

bars and carefully 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 below; howev-

er, to give variety to your exercise, you may

choose to turn the pedal disks in the opposite

direction.

To dismount the elliptical trainer, allow the pedals to

come to a complete stop. CAUTION: The elliptical

trainer 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 OF THE

PEDALS

As you exercise,

you can adjust

the resistance of

the pedals with

the resistance

knob on the

console. To

increase the

resistance,

turn the knob

clockwise; to

decrease the resistance, turn the knob counterclock-

wise. Important: The knob may not stop turning

when maximum or minimum resistance is reached.

When the knob becomes more difficult to turn,

stop turning it or damage will result.

DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE

The innovative

console offers

a manual mode

and three moti-

vational pacer

programs.

Each pacer

program is

designed to

guide you

through an

effective work-

out by pacing

your exercise. As you exercise, six monitor modes will

provide continuous exercise feedback. The monitor

modes are described below:

Speed—This mode shows your pedaling pace, in miles

per hour or kilometers per hour.

Time—If you select the manual mode, this mode will

show the elapsed time. If you select one of the three

pacer programs, this mode will show the time remain-

ing in the program.

Distance—This mode shows the distance you have

pedaled, in miles or kilometers.

Fat Calories (FAT CALS)—This mode shows the

approximate number of fat calories you have burned

(see BURNING FAT on page 13).

Calories (CALS)—This mode shows the approximate

number of calories you have burned.

Scan—This mode displays the Speed, Time, Distance,

Fat Calories, and Calories modes, for five seconds

each, in a repeating cycle.

HOW TO SELECT MILES OR KILOMETERS

When the letters KPH appear in the display, the con-

sole will display speed and distance in kilometers.

When the letters KPH do not appear, the console will

display speed and distance in miles. To change the

unit of measurement, first press the on/reset button.

Next, hold down the program and display buttons for

several seconds until the letters KPH appear or disap-

pear.

HOW THE PACER PROGRAMS OPERATE

The console offers

three motivational

pacer programs.

Each program

lasts for twenty

minutes. When

you use a pacer

program, two

columns of bars

will appear in the

display. The left column represents a target pace, and

the right column shows your actual pedaling pace.

The target pace will change periodically during the

program; as the target pace changes, simply change

your pedaling 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.

STEP-BY-STEP CONSOLE OPERATION

Before the console can be operated, two “AA”

batteries must be installed. (See step 9 on page 8.)

Turn on the power.

To turn on the power, press the on/reset button or

simply begin pedaling. 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 one

of the pacer

programs,

repeatedly

press the pro-

gram button.

The program

indicator will

show which

program you

have select-

ed. To select

the manual

mode, press the program button until the program

indicator disappears. The programs will be select-

ed in the following order: program 1, program 2,

program 3, manual mode.

Begin your workout.

If you select-

ed the manual

mode, go to

step 4. If you

selected one

of the pacer

programs, two

columns of

bars will

appear in the display. The left column will show

one bar, indicating a relatively slow pace. The right

column will show your actual pedaling pace.

Change your pace until only one bar appears in

the right column. Each time the target pace

changes during the program, change your pedal-

ing pace to keep both columns at the same height.

Follow your progress with the monitor modes.

The scan

mode—

Repeatedly

press the dis-

play button

until an arrow

appears under

the word

“scan.” When

the scan mode is selected, the console will display

the speed, time, distance, fat calories, and calo-

ries modes, for five seconds each, in a repeating

cycle.

The speed,

time, dis-

tance, fat

calories,

or calories

mode—To

select one of

these modes

for continuous

display, repeatedly press the display button until

an arrow appears below or above the desired

mode. Make sure that there is not an arrow under

the word “scan.”

To reset the display, press the on/reset button.

Turn off the power.

To turn off the power, simply wait for about

six minutes. If the pedals are not moved and the

console buttons are not pressed for six minutes,

the power will turn off automatically.
