POWER

Your programmable elliptical is powered by a power supply. The power must be plugged into the power jack, 

which is located in the front of the machine near the STABILIZER TUBE. Make sure the console power switch is 

in the ON position. Note: Not all units have an ON/OFF switch on the console.

Do not operate the elliptical if the power cord or plug is damaged.

If the elliptical appears to not be working properly, do not use the elliptical.

MOVING

Your elliptical has a pair of transport wheels built 

into the FRONT STABILIZER TUBE. To move, first 

remove the power supply and firmly grasp the 

REAR STABILIZER BAR, carefully tilt and roll. Note: 

Be sure to grab the bar and not the plastic cover.

Our ellipticals are well built and heavy, weighing up to 200 lbs! Use care and 

additional help if necessary when moving.

FOOT POSITIONING

Your elliptical offers a variety  of foot positions. Moving your foot to the forward most position of the foot pad 

increases your step height, which will create a feel similar to a step machine. Placing your foot toward the back 

of the foot pad decreases your step height and creates more of a gliding feel, similar to a smooth walk or run.

 

Your elliptical also allows you to pedal both forward and backwards to offer a variation to your workout and to 

focus on other major leg muscle groups such as your hamstrings and calves.

ELLIPTICAL OPERATION

Note: There is a thin protective sheet of clear plastic on the overlay of the console and should be removed.

A) LARGE WINDOW:

 Displays program profiles, Time, Level, Calories, Heart Rate, Distance and Speed.

B) PROGRAM KEYS:

 Used to select the goal of the workout.

C) TERRAIN KEYS:

 Used to customize the workout.

 

D) ENTER: 

Used to confirm your program and program settings.

E) QUICK LEVEL KEYS: 

Used to quickly adjust your resistance level during the workout.

F) ARROW KEYS:

 Used to select program settings and adjust resistance level during the workout.

G) START/PAUSE: 

Press to start your workout or pause an existing workout. 

H) STOP: 

Press to stop your workout. Hold for 3 seconds to reset the elliptical.

NOTE

: If the unit is inactive for 10 minutes, the console display will shut off. 

 

   Press any key or ride the elliptical to restart the display. Program will be reset.
