HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL HOW TO FOLD AND UNFOLD THE ELLIPTICAL To move the elliptical, first fold it as described at the left. Next, stand in front of the elliptical, hold the handle in the center of the console, and place one foot against the center of the front stabilizer. Pull the handle until the elliptical will roll on the front wheels. Carefully move the elliptical to the desired position, and then lower it.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL To mount the elliptical, hold the handlebars and step onto the pedal that is in the lowest position. Next, step onto the other pedal. Push the pedals until they begin to move with a continuous motion. Handlebars Note: The crank arms can turn in either direction. It is recommended that you turn the crank arms in the direction shown by the arrow; however, for variety you can turn the crank arms in the opposite direction.
FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE Each pulse control program automatically controls the resistance of the pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease your pedaling pace to keep your heart rate near a target heart rate setting during your workout. The advanced console offers an array of features designed to make your workouts more effective and enjoyable. When you use the manual mode, you can change the resistance of the pedals with the touch of a button.
HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE 4. Monitor your progress with the display. 1. Press the Resistance decrease button or begin pedaling to turn on the console. The left side of the display—The left side of the display will show the elapsed time and the approximate number of calories you have burned. Note: When a preset program is selected (except for pulse program 2), the display will show the time remaining in the program instead of the elapsed time.
5. Measure your heart rate if desired. 6. Turn on the fan if desired. If there are sheets of plastic on the metal Metal Contacts contacts on the handgrip pulse sensor, remove the plastic. To measure your heart rate, hold the handgrip pulse sensor, with your palms resting against the metal contacts. Avoid moving your hands or gripping the contacts tightly. To turn on the fan at low speed, press the Fan button. To turn on the fan at high speed, press the button a second time.
HOW TO USE A PULSE CONTROL PROGRAM If pulse control program 2 is selected, the target heart rate setting for the program will flash in the display. If desired, press the Resistance increase and decrease buttons to change the target heart rate setting (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 23). 1. Press the Resistance decrease button or begin pedaling to turn on the console. A moment after the console is turned on, the display will light. 4. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor. 2.
During both pulse control programs, the console will regularly compare your heart rate to the target heart rate setting. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate setting, the resistance of the pedals will automatically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting. Note: During the program, you can manually override the resistance setting, if desired, by pressing the increase and decrease buttons.
HOW TO USE A RESISTANCE & RPM PROGRAM As you exercise, the Pace Coach will help you to keep your pedaling pace near the pace setting for the current segment. When one of the “Too Slow” arrows lights, increase your pace. When the one of the “Too Fast” arrows lights, decrease your pace. When the center indicator lights, maintain your current pace. 1. Press the Resistance decrease button or begin pedaling to turn on the console. A moment after the console is turned on, the display will light. 2.
4. Monitor your progress with the display. The program will continue until the resistance setting for the last segment is shown in the Current Segment column and the last segment ends. See step 4 on page 16. 5. Measure your heart rate if desired. Note: During the program, you can override the resistance setting for the current segment, if desired, by pressing the increase or decrease button.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical regularly.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES WARNING: 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.
