can be folded out of the way. First, lift the latch under

each pedal leg, and lift the pedal legs off the sleeves

on the crank arms.

on the upper body arms; the magnets will hold the

pedal legs in place. Then, hold the handle and lift the

frame until it locks in a vertical position.

To use the elliptical exerciser, first hold the handle,

press the latch button, and lower the frame.

Next, pull the pedal legs off the magnets on the upper

body arms. Then, lift the latches under the pedal

legs, and set the pedal legs on the sleeves on the

crank arms. Release the latches, and make sure that

the pedal legs are securely connected to the crank

arms.
