HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL TRAINER
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL TRAINER
To mount the elliptical trainer, firmly hold the handle-
bars and carefully 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 turn the
pedal disks in the direction shown below; howev-
er, to give variety to your exercise, you may
choose to turn the pedal disks in the opposite
direction.
To dismount the elliptical trainer, allow the pedals to
come to a complete stop. CAUTION: The elliptical
trainer does not have a free wheel; 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.
HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE OF THE
PEDALS
As you exercise,
you can adjust
the resistance of
the pedals with
the resistance
knob on the
console. To
increase the
resistance,
turn the knob
clockwise; to
decrease the resistance, turn the knob counterclock-
wise. Important: The knob may not stop turning
when maximum or minimum resistance is reached.
When the knob becomes more difficult to turn,
stop turning it or damage will result.
DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE
The innovative
console offers
a manual mode
and three moti-
vational pacer
programs.
Each pacer
program is
designed to
guide you
through an
effective work-
out by pacing
your exercise. As you exercise, six monitor modes will
provide continuous exercise feedback. The monitor
modes are described below:
Speed—This mode shows your pedaling pace, in miles
per hour or kilometers per hour.
Time—If you select the manual mode, this mode will
show the elapsed time. If you select one of the three
pacer programs, this mode will show the time remain-
ing in the program.
Distance—This mode shows the distance you have
pedaled, in miles or kilometers.
Fat Calories (FAT CALS)—This mode shows the
approximate number of fat calories you have burned
(see BURNING FAT on page 13).
Calories (CALS)—This mode shows the approximate
number of calories you have burned.
Scan—This mode displays the Speed, Time, Distance,
Fat Calories, and Calories modes, for five seconds
each, in a repeating cycle.
HOW TO SELECT MILES OR KILOMETERS
When the letters KPH appear in the display, the con-
sole will display speed and distance in kilometers.
When the letters KPH do not appear, the console will
display speed and distance in miles. To change the
unit of measurement, first press the on/reset button.
Next, hold down the program and display buttons for
several seconds until the letters KPH appear or disap-
pear.
