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 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

in-home use only. Do not use the elliptical

exerciser in a commercial, rental, or institu-

tional setting.

4. Place the elliptical exerciser on a level sur-

face, with a mat beneath it to protect the

floor or carpet. Keep the elliptical exerciser

indoors, away from moisture and dust.

5. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-

larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

6. Keep children under age 12 and pets away

from the elliptical exerciser at all times.

7. The elliptical exerciser should not be used

by persons weighing more than 115 kg (250

8. Wear appropriate exercise clothing when

using the elliptical exerciser. Always wear

athletic shoes for foot protection.

9. Always hold the handlebar when mounting

ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER OPERATION

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL

EXERCISER

To mount the

elliptical exer-

ciser, hold the

handlebar and

step onto the

pedal that is in

the lowest posi-

tion. 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 direc-

tion. It is rec-

ommended

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.

HOW TO USE THE UPPER BODY ARMS

To add upper-

body exercise

to your work-

outs, push and

pull the upper

body arms as

you exercise.

To exercise

only your lower

body, hold the

handlebar as

you exercise.

HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDAL CUSHIONS

The feel of the

pedals is affect-

ed by the posi-

tions of the

pedal cushions.

The farther back

the pedal cush-

ions are placed,

the firmer the

pedals will feel.

To move the

pedal cushions,

lift the pedal

arms and slide

the pedal cush-

ions to the desired positions. Make sure that both

pedal cushions are in the same position.

HOW TO MOVE AND LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL

EXERCISER

Stand in front of

the elliptical

exerciser, hold

the handlebar

firmly, and tip

the elliptical

exerciser until it

can be moved

on the front

wheels.

Carefully move

the elliptical

exerciser to the

desired location

and then lower

it. Due to the

weight of the

elliptical exer-

ciser, use extreme caution when moving it.

After the elliptical exerciser has been moved, make

sure that the ends of both stabilizers are touching the

floor. If the elliptical exerciser rocks slightly during use,

turn one or both of the leveling feet under the front sta-

bilizer until the rocking motion is eliminated.
