Step 6: Install the Left & Right Swing Arms

Attach the left and right swing arms to the central pivot points on the main frame. Ensure the arc spacers are correctly positioned before tightening the bolts. These arms provide a full-body workout.

Step 7: Install the Left & Right Pedal Shaft

Screw the pedal shafts into the corresponding cranks. Important: The right pedal hinge bolt is screwed into the right crank in a clockwise direction. The left pedal hinge bolt is screwed into the left crank in a counterclockwise direction. Ensure they are fully tightened.

Step 8: Install the Left & Right Pedal

Secure the non-slip foot pedals to the pedal shafts using the designated bolts. Ensure they are firmly attached to prevent movement during exercise.

Step 9: Install the Left & Right Handlebar

Attach the movable handlebars to the swing arms. Ensure all connections are tight and the handlebars move freely with the swing arms.

Step 10: Install the Nut Cover & Bottle Holder

Place the protective nut covers over any exposed bolts for a clean finish and to prevent snagging. Finally, install the bottle holder on the main frame for convenient hydration during your workout.

Workout Modes

The 8 resistance levels allow for varied workout intensities:

• 1-3 Level (Casual Mode): Ideal for warm-up, light cardio, or recovery sessions.
• 4-6 Level (Strength Training Mode): Suitable for moderate intensity workouts to build endurance and strength.
• 7-8 Level (Body Built Mode): For high-intensity training, challenging your muscles and cardiovascular system.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and smooth operation of your elliptical machine.

General Care

• Wipe down the machine with a damp cloth after each use to prevent sweat corrosion and keep it clean.
• Keep the elliptical clean and free of dust, especially around moving parts and the flywheel enclosure.

Tightening Bolts

Regularly check and tighten all bolts and nuts, especially those connecting the handlebars and pedal shafts, as they may loosen over time due to continuous use. For persistent loosening, consider applying a thread locker (e.g., Loctite Red) to the bolt threads for added security.

Lubrication

Periodically apply a silicone-based lubricant to any moving joints or pivot points to ensure smooth operation and prevent squeaking. Consult the original assembly instructions for specific lubrication points.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your elliptical, refer to the common problems and solutions below:

Machine is noisy or wobbly

• Solution: Check all assembly bolts and nuts. Tighten any loose connections. Ensure the machine is on a level surface. If the issue persists with handlebars or pedals, consider applying thread locker as described in the Maintenance section.

Monitor not displaying data

• Solution: Check the battery in the LCD monitor and replace if necessary. Ensure all sensor cables are securely connected to the monitor and the main frame.

Resistance feels too stiff or too loose

• Solution: Verify the resistance cable is correctly installed and connected to the resistance knob. Adjust the knob to your desired level (1-8). If the cable is damaged, contact customer support.
