HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER
PLUGGING IN THE POWER CORD
Locate the power cord on the elliptical crosstrainer.
Plug the power cord into a surge protector (not includ-
ed), and plug the surge protector into a 120-volt outlet.
The displays and various indicators on the console will
light and a tone will sound. To decrease the possibil-
ity of damaging the elliptical crosstrainer, always
use a surge protector.
Note: When the power cord is plugged in, the
incline ramp will move to the lowest position. In
addition, the incline ramp may rise and then move
back to the lowest position as the elliptical
crosstrainer performs a calibration routine. During
the routine, the letters “CAL” will appear in the
right LED display and then dashes will appear in
the left LED display.
EXERCISING ON THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER
To mount the elliptical crosstrainer, hold the handlebars
or the pulse 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 contin-
uous 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 above; howev-
er, to give variety to your exercise, you may turn
the pedal disks in the opposite direction.
To dismount the elliptical crosstrainer, wait until the
pedals come to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical
crosstrainer does not have a free wheel; the ped-
als 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.
USING THE UPPER BODY ARMS
The upper body arms are
designed to add upper-
body exercise to your
workouts. Move the
upper-body arms forward
and back as you exercise
in order to work your
arms, back, and shoul-
ders.
To exercise only your
lower body, hold the han-
dlebars or the pulse han-
dlebar as you exercise.
ADJUSTING THE PEDALS
The pedals can be adjusted to any of five positions. To
adjust the pedals, loosen the pedal knobs beneath the
pedals, slide the pedals forward or backward, and then
retighten the pedal knobs.
CAUTION:
Before operating the
console, read the following precautions.
• Always hold the pulse handlebar or the upper
body arms when mounting, dismounting, or
using the elliptical crosstrainer.
• When you stop exercising, allow the pedals to
slowly come to a stop.
• Keep your feet and objects from beneath the
elliptical crosstrainer.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, keep the
console dry.
• The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is
intended only as an exercise aid in determin-
ing heart rate trends in general.
