Before starting this or any other exercise
program, consult your physician, who can assist
you in determining the target heart rate zone

keep your estimated pulse rate within your target
heart rate zone. Follow the instructions on pages

Storing Directions
Your elliptical trainer is lightweight, compact and
portable. It can be easily moved from place to
place.
• Unplug your elliptical trainer.
• Stand in front of the elliptical trainer and make
sure that the dual-action handlebars are even.
They are even when one foot platform is at
the top of the elliptical disc and the other is
at the bottom.
• Grasp the stationary handlebars and pull
back, tipping the elliptical trainer towards
you until it is resting on the transportation
wheels/front rollers.
• Wheel the elliptical trainer to its new location
and store in an upright position.
Care Directions
Your Elliptical Trainer has been carefully designed
to require minimum maintenance. However, we
recommend the following to keep your trainer
operating smoothly.
• Unplug your elliptical trainer when it is not in use.
• Use your elliptical trainer indoors only.
• Wipe all perspiration from your elliptical trainer
with a soft, clean cloth after each use to
prevent an accumulation of sweat and dirt.
• Clean your elliptical trainer on a regular basis
to prevent a build-up of dust. Use Windex or
an alcohol based cleanser on a clean cloth.
Do not use any abrasive cleaners and/or polish
as these will damage the surface.

from children and high traffic areas.
• Regularly check the tightness of nuts and bolts.
