Usage Modes: Seated and Standing

The elliptical can be used in two primary modes:

Seated Use

• Place the elliptical under your desk or in front of a chair.
• Sit comfortably with your feet on the pedals.
• Begin pedaling in a smooth, controlled motion.
• This mode is ideal for low-impact exercise while working or relaxing.

Standing Use

• Ensure the elliptical is on a stable surface.
• Stand with your feet on the pedals, maintaining balance.
• Begin pedaling. You may hold onto a stable object (like a desk) for support.
• Standing mode engages core and leg muscles more intensely.

Pedal Features

The anti-slip pedals feature massage dots designed to improve blood flow and joint flexibility. They are shock-absorbing to reduce knee impact. You can use the elliptical barefoot, with socks, or with appropriate footwear.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe down the machine with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Inspection: Regularly check all bolts and connections to ensure they are secure. Tighten if necessary.
• Storage: Store the elliptical in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Its compact design allows for easy storage under desks or in closets.
• Lubrication: The magnetic resistance system is generally maintenance-free. Do not attempt to lubricate internal components unless specifically instructed by MERACH support.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

Machine is making noise (squeaking/grinding):

Ensure all assembly bolts are tightened. Check for any foreign objects obstructing the pedal movement. If the noise persists, contact customer support.

Display is not working:

Check if the batteries in the display unit need replacement. Ensure the sensor cable is securely connected. The display activates automatically when pedaling begins.

Resistance feels inconsistent or too easy/hard:

Verify that the tension control knob is correctly set to your desired level. If the magnetic resistance mechanism feels faulty, discontinue use and contact support.

Pedals are unstable or slide off:

Ensure the pedals are correctly installed and secured to the pedal tubes. Check for any missing or loose knobs/fasteners that hold the pedals in place.
