HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER
PLUGGING IN THE POWER CORD
Check your power cord to see if it has different volt-
age settings. If your power cord has different voltage
settings, set it to the 12 volt setting. Plug the power
cord into a 220–240 volt outlet. The displays and indi-
cators on the console will flash once; the displays and
various indicators will then light and a tone will sound.
Please read through all instructions in this section
before using the elliptical crosstrainer.
EXERCISING ON THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER
To mount the elliptical crosstrainer, hold the handlebar
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. Note:
The pedal disks can turn in either direction. It is
recommended that you move the pedals disks in
the direction shown below; however, to give vari-
ety to your exercise, you may choose to turn the
pedal disks in the opposite direction.
To dismount the elliptical crosstrainer, wait until the
pedals come to a complete stop. CAUTION: The
elliptical crosstrainer does not have a freewheel;
the pedals will continue to move until the flywheel
stops. When the pedals are stationary, step off the
highest pedal first. Then, step off the lowest pedal.
INCLINE ADJUSTMENT
The incline frame can be raised or lowered to vary the
intensity of your exercise. To raise the incline frame,
lift the end of the incline frame until the crossbar is
resting on top of the incline bracket. Make sure that
the incline frame is resting securely on top of the
incline bracket. To lower the incline frame, first lift
the incline frame slightly. Then, push the incline brack-
et toward the upright and lower the incline frame onto
the stabiliser.
USING THE UPPER BODY ARMS
The upper body arms are designed to give you a total
body workout. As you exercise, hold the upper body
arms and move your arms forward and back in order
to work your arms, back, and shoulders.
If you want to exercise only your lower body, hold the
handlebar as you exercise.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The console offers a variety of features that help you
get the most from your exercise. When the console is
in the manual mode, the resistance of the pedals can
be changed with a touch of a button. As you exercise,
four LED displays will provide continuous exercise
feedback. The console also offers six workout pro-
grams. Each workout program is designed to change
the resistance automatically as it guides you through
an effective workout.
DIAGRAM OF THE CONSOLE
1. Program Profiles—These profiles show how the
resistance will change during the six workout pro-
grams. During program 5, for example, the resis-
tance will gradually increase during the first half of
the program, and then gradually decrease during
the last half.
2. Mode Indicators—These indicators show which
mode is selected (the manual mode or one of the
six workout programs).
3. TIME display—When the manual mode is selected,
this display will show the elapsed time. When a
workout program is selected, this display shows the
time remaining in the program.
4. DISTANCE display—This display shows the total
distance you have completed, in miles.
5. SPEED display—This display shows the number of
strides you are taking per minute, as well as your cur-
rent speed in miles per hour. The display will change
from one number to the other every seven seconds.
When the number of strides per minute is shown, the
STRIDES MIN. indicator will light; when your current
speed is shown, the MPH indicator will light.
6. CALORIES display—This display shows the total
number of calories you have burned and the number
of fat calories you have burned. (See BURNING
FAT on page 12 for an explanation of fat calories.)
The display will change from one number to the
other every seven seconds. When the total number
of calories is shown, the TOTAL indicator will light;
when the number of fat calories is shown, the FAT
indicator will light.
7. MODE button—This button is used to select the
MANUAL mode and the six workout programs.
8. START/PAUSE button—This button is used to start
and pause the workout programs.
9. RESISTANCE (RESIS.) button—This button
changes the resistance of the pedals.
Note: If there is a thin sheet of clear plastic on
the face of the console, remove it before
using the console.
