HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL

How to Plug In the Power Cord

This product must be grounded. If it malfunctions or breaks down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The power cord has a plug with a grounding pin.

DANGER: Improper connection of the power cord increases the risk of electric shock. Do not modify the plug; if it will not fit an outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. If you are unsure whether the product is properly grounded, contact a qualified electrician.

Plug the power cord into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. The outlet must be on a nominal 120-volt circuit.

A temporary adapter may be used to connect the power cord to a 2-pole receptacle if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The lug or wire extending from the adapter must be connected with a metal screw to a permanent ground, such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box covers are not grounded. Before using an adapter, contact a qualified electrician to determine if the outlet box cover is grounded. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.

Diagram Description: Illustrates proper grounding for the power cord. It shows a grounded outlet with a grounding pin and a 2-pole receptacle with a temporary adapter connected to a metal screw for grounding. It emphasizes the importance of proper installation and grounding to prevent electric shock.

How to Move the Elliptical

Due to the size and weight of the elliptical, moving it requires two persons. Stand in front of the elliptical, hold the upright (A), and place one foot against one of the wheels (B). Have a second person lift the handle (C) on the rear of the frame until the elliptical will roll on the wheels. Carefully move the elliptical to the desired location, and then lower it to the floor.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance is important for optimal performance and to reduce wear. Inspect and properly tighten all parts each time the elliptical is used. Replace any worn parts immediately.

To clean the elliptical, 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

The console requires activation. If you have not activated the console, see assembly step 10 on page 12.

If the console does not turn on, make sure that the power cord is fully plugged in and that the power switch is in the reset position.

If the console does not display your heart rate when you hold the handgrip heart rate monitor, or if the displayed heart rate appears to be too high or too low, see step 5 on page 19.

INCLINE SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING

If the ramp does not move to the correct incline level, see HOW TO CHANGE CONSOLE SETTINGS on page 23 and calibrate the incline system.

HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH

If the console does not display correct feedback, the reed switch should be adjusted. To adjust the reed switch, first unplug the power cord.

Next, use a standard screwdriver and carefully pry the left Disc Cover (55) off the left Disc (71).

Then, turn the left Crank Arm (20) until one of the Magnets (43) on the Pulley (19) is aligned with the Reed Switch (38). Then, slightly loosen the two M4 x 16mm Screws (104), slide the Reed Switch slightly closer to or away from the Magnet, and retighten the Screws.

Diagram Description: Shows the process for adjusting the Reed Switch (38). It involves removing the Disc Cover (55) from the Disc (71), locating the Magnet (43) on the Pulley (19) and the Reed Switch (38), loosening screws (104) to adjust the switch position relative to the magnet.

Then, plug in the power cord and turn the left Crank Arm (20) for a moment. Repeat the procedure above, if necessary, until the console displays correct feedback. Then, reattach the left disc.

HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT

If the pedals slip while you are pedaling, even while the resistance is adjusted to the highest level, the drive belt may need to be adjusted. To adjust the drive belt, first unplug the power cord.

Then, remove the four M4 x 16mm Screws (not shown) from the upper and lower ends of the Rear Shield (75), and remove the Rear Shield.

Next, use a standard screwdriver and pry off the Shield Cover (56) and slide it upward.

Then, look between the Shields (73, 74) and locate the M8 Locknut (102). Tighten the Locknut until the Drive Belt (113) is tight.

Diagram Description: Shows the process for adjusting the Drive Belt (113). It involves removing the Rear Shield (75) and Shield Cover (56) to access the M8 Locknut (102) between Shields (73, 74). Tightening the locknut adjusts the drive belt tension.

When you have properly adjusted the drive belt, reattach the rear shield and press the shield cover onto the rear shield.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons over age 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.

The heart rate monitor is not a medical device. Various factors may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The heart rate monitor is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.

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 intensity 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 nearest 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.

Diagram Description: A chart illustrating recommended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise based on age. The horizontal axis represents age groups (e.g., 20, 30, 40 years), and the vertical axis shows heart rate in beats per minute (BPM). Three zones are indicated for each age group: Fat Burning (lowest BPM), Maximum Fat Burning (middle BPM), and Aerobic Exercise (highest BPM).

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 minutes 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 exercise, 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.
