HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD A temporary adapter may be used to connect the power cord to a 2-pole receptacle as shown at the right if a properly grounded outlet is not available. This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break 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.
HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL Due to the size and weight of the elliptical exerciser, moving it requires two persons. Stand in front of the elliptical, hold the upright, and place one foot against one of the front wheels. Pull on the upright and have a second person lift the handle at the rear until the elliptical will roll on the front wheels. Carefully move the elliptical to the desired location, and then lower it to the floor.
CONSOLE DIAGRAM FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE For example, lose unwanted pounds with the 8-week Weight Loss workout. iFit workouts control the resistance of the pedals while the voice of a personal trainer coaches you through your workouts. iFit cards are available separately. To purchase iFit cards, go to www.iFit.com or see the front cover of this manual. iFit cards are also available at select stores.
HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER 3. Change the resistance of the pedals and the incline of the ramp as desired. IMPORTANT: If the elliptical has been exposed to cold temperatures, allow it to warm to room temperature before turning on the power. If you do not do this, you may damage the console displays or other electrical components. Plug in the power cord (see HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD on page 15). Next, locate the power switch on the frame near the power cord.
The upper display—This display can show the elapsed time, the distance that you have pedaled, your pedaling speed, and the approximate number of calories you have burned. When your pulse is detected, a flashing heart symbol will appear in the display, and then your heart rate will appear. For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the contacts for at least 15 seconds. Note: If you continue to hold the handgrip heart rate monitor, the display will show your heart rate for up to 30 seconds.
HOW TO USE A PRESET WORKOUT As you exercise, keep your pedaling speed near the target speed for the current segment. At the beginning of each segment, the target speed for the segment will flash in the display. 1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the console to turn on the console. See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 18. 2. Select a preset workout.
HOW TO USE AN IFIT WORKOUT HOW TO USE THE SOUND SYSTEM iFit cards are available separately. To purchase iFit cards, go to www.iFit.com or see the front cover of this manual. iFit cards are also available at select stores. To play music or audio books through the console sound system while you exercise, plug your audio cable into the jack on the console and into a jack on your MP3 player or CD player; make sure that your audio cable is fully plugged in. 1.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately. 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 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.
HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH Locate the Reed Switch (38). Rotate the Pulley (19) until a Magnet (43) is aligned with the Reed Switch. Next, loosen but do not remove the indicated M4 x 16mm Screw (104). Slide the Reed Switch slightly closer to or away from the Magnet. Then, retighten the Screw. Turn the Pulley for a moment. Repeat until the console displays correct feedback. If the console does not display correct feedback, the reed switch should be adjusted.
EXERCISE GUIDELINES Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exercise 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.
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. 1 2. Hamstring Stretch Sit with one leg extended.
