Using The Pulse Sensors
The pulse window on your Monitor works in conjunction with the Pulse Sensors found
on the Handlebars. When you are ready to read your pulse:
1)
Place both hands firmly on the pulse sensors. For the most accurate reading, it is
important to use both hands and to temporarily stop moving.
2)
Look at your pulse window. The small heart will begin to blink.
3)
Your estimated heart rate will appear in the window approximately 6 seconds
after you grasp the pulse sensors.
4)
Refer to the Target Heart Rate Zone chart found on page 25 of this manual. For additional information
about the importance of working within certain heart rate ranges, see pages 23 and 24 –
Measuring
Your Heart Rate.
5)
This estimate is not exact and persons with medical conditions and/or a specific need for accurate
heart rate monitoring should not rely on the estimations provided.
ADJUSTING THE STRIDE LENGTH
The elliptical trainer has two stride length settings
of 17” and 21”.
To find the stride length setting that is most comfortable
to you, start at the 21” setting. If this setting does not
feel comfortable to you, then proceed to adjust to a
shorter stride length as noted below.
To adjust your stride length, turn the Stride Adjustment
Knob
counter-clockwise
approximately 1/4 turn. Using
both hands, keep hold of the Rocker Arm with one
hand and with the other hand, pull out the Adjustment
Knob to allow the pin to release. Slowly raise or lower
the Swing Arm to the preferred stride length as marked
on the Swing Arm and let go of the Stride Adjustment
Knob so the Pin engages into the hole. Once you hear
the pin pop into the hole, turn the Stride Adjustment
Knob
clockwise
to tighten. If the Stride Adjustment
Knob is not securely tightened, you may hear a
knocking noise when using the elliptical trainer.
CAUTION:
Before beginning to exercise, make sure
that the Stride Adjustment Pin is engaged and the
Knob is tightened to prevent any possible injuries or
damage to the elliptical trainer.

CHANGING FOOT POSITIONS
The generously sized Foot Platforms are 5” wide by 14” long,
which provides workout stability and allows you to vary
your foot position for different workout intensities.
Begin with your feet in the most forward position and then
move your feet to the position that feels most comfortable
to you. The further back your feet are placed on the Foot
Platforms, the greater the vertical height of the elliptical
motion and therefore, the harder the workout.
You can move forward or backward to exercise different muscles,
but make sure your entire foot is on the Foot Platform at all times.
