the volume to the desired level. Then, press the center

button to exit the menu.

HOW TO VIEW THE ODOMETER

To view the total distance pedaled since the elliptical

exerciser was purchased and the total number of

hours the elliptical exerciser has been operated, press

the Menu button, select ODOMETER, and then select

VIEW.

The total distance (in total number of revolutions) that

the elliptical exerciser has been pedaled will appear in

the upper display. The total number of hours the ellipti-

cal exerciser has been operated will appear in the

lower display.

To exit the odometer information, press the Menu but-

ton repeatedly.

To reset the odometer information to zero, press the

Menu button, select ODOMETER, and then select

RESET. Press the Menu button repeatedly to exit the

reset mode.

HOW TO SELECT A BACKLIGHT OPTION

The console has three backlight options. The ON

option keeps the backlight on while the console is on.

To conserve the batteries, the AUTO option keeps the

backlight on only while you are pedaling. The OFF

option turns the backlight off.

To select a backlight option, press the Menu button,

select SETTINGS, and then select BACKLIGHT. An X

will appear next to the currently selected backlight

option. To change the backlight option, first move your

finger around the click wheel or press the Resistance

increase and decrease buttons to choose the desired

backlight option. Next, press the center button. The X

will then appear next to the currently selected back-

light option.

A few seconds after you select a backlight option, the

console will exit the backlight menu.

Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical exerciser

regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

To clean the elliptical exerciser, use a damp cloth and

a small amount of mild soap. IMPORTANT: To avoid

damage to the console, keep liquids away from

the console and keep the console out of direct

sunlight.

CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING

If the console displays become dim, the batteries

should be replaced; most console problems are the

result of low batteries. See assembly step 10 on page

10 for replacement instructions. If the handgrip pulse

sensor does not function properly, see step 5 on page

18.

HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH

If the console does not display correct feedback, the

reed switch should be adjusted. First, remove all of the

screws from both shields; there are three sizes of

screws in the shields—note which size of screw

you remove from each hole. Then, gently pry the

shields away from the frame.

Next, locate the

Reed Switch (50).

Turn the Pulley

Disc (62) until the

Magnet (100) is

aligned with the

Reed Switch.

Loosen, but do

not remove, the

indicated M4 x

16mm Screw

(78). Slide the

Reed Switch slightly closer to or away from the

Magnet, and then retighten the Screw. Rock the Pulley

Disc forward and backward just enough that the

Magnet passes the Reed Switch repeatedly. Adjust the

Screw until the console displays correct feedback.

When the Reed Switch is correctly adjusted, reattach

the shields. Note: If you have questions as to which

screw should be in which hole, see EXPLODED

DRAWING B on page 31 and the PART LIST on page

28.

HOW TO ADJUST THE BELT

If you can feel the pedals slip while you are pedaling,

even when the resistance of the pedals is at the high-

est setting, the Belt (74) may need to be adjusted.

First, remove all the screws from both shields; there

are three sizes of screws in the shields—note

which size of screw you remove from each hole.

Then, gently pry the shields away from the frame.

Next, turn the Belt

Adjustment Screw

(107) until the

Belt (74) is tight.

Then, reattach

the shields. Note:

If you have ques-

tions as to which

screw should be

in which hole, see

EXPLODED

DRAWING B on

page 31 and the

PART LIST on page 28.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise

program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a

reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,

proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for

successful results.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your

cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper inten-

sity is the key to achieving results. You can use your

heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level.

The chart below shows recommended heart rates for

fat burning and aerobic exercise.

To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the

bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the near-

est ten years). The three numbers listed above your

age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is

the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the

heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest

number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.

Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exer-

cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of

time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your

body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after

the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin

to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to

burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your

heart rate is near the lowest number in your training

zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your

heart rate near the middle number in your training

zone.

Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your

cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic

exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts

of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic

exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until

your heart rate is near the highest number in your

training zone.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching

and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body

temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation

for exercise.

Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 min-

utes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During

the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not

keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer

than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you

exercise–never hold your breath.

Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of

stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your

muscles and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY

To maintain or improve your condition, complete three

workouts each week, with at least one day of rest

between workouts. After a few months of regular exer-

cise, you may complete up to five workouts each

week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is to

make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your

everyday life.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

WARNING: Before beginning

this or any exercise program, consult your

physician. This is especially important for

persons over the age of 35 or persons with

pre-existing health problems.

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.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES

The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right.

Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.

1. Toe Touch Stretch

Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from

your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach

down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then

relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees and

back.

2. Hamstring Stretch

Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot

toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg.

Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts,

then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Hamstrings,

lower back and groin.

3. Calf/Achilles Stretch

With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your

hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back

foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move

your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3

times for each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles ten-

dons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles ten-

dons and ankles.

4. Quadriceps Stretch

With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp

one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your

buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3

times for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.

5. Inner Thigh Stretch

Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward.

Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for

15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and

hip muscles.
