9. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.

Various factors may affect the accuracy of

heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is

intended only as an exercise aid in determin-

ing heart rate trends in general.

10. Keep your back straight when using the ellip-

tical crosstrainer; do not arch your back.

11. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time

while exercising, stop immediately and

Frame (1). Do not pinch the Wire Harnesses.

Next, turn the Upright Knob (43) counterclockwise sev-

eral turns. Pull the Knob, slide the Upright (2) down

until the Knob is aligned with one of the four adjust-

ment holes, and then release the Knob. Do not tighten

the Knob yet.

Console (23). Lift off the front of the Console.

2. Plug the short jumper wire (A) into the indicated jack on

the Console (23). Connect the other end of the short

jumper wire to the wire on the receiver (B). Note: The

included long jumper wire is not needed.

Next, peel the paper off the adhesive pad on the back

of the receiver (B). Orient the receiver as shown, and

press it onto the Console (23) in the indicated location.

Refer to step 1 above. Reattach the front of the

Console (23) with the four screws. Make sure that no

wires are pinched.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER

HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDALS AND THE UPRIGHT

The motion of the elliptical crosstrainer is determined

by the positions of the pedals and the upright. Follow

the instructions below to adjust the motion of the ellip-

tical crosstrainer.

To adjust the

pedals, first

loosen the pedal

knobs beneath

the pedals. Slide

the pedals for-

ward or back-

ward to one of

the five posi-

tions, and then

retighten the

knobs. Make

sure that both

pedals are in the

same position.

To adjust the

upright, first turn

the upright knob

counterclockwise a few turns to loosen it. Next, pull the

knob, raise or lower the upright to the desired height,

and then release the knob. Move the upright up and

down slightly until the pin on the knob snaps into

one of the four adjustment holes in the upright.

Make sure that the upright is not resting on top of

the pin. Then, turn the knob clockwise until it is tight.

HOW TO USE THE HANDLEBARS

The handlebars

are designed to

add upper-body

exercise to your

workouts. As you

exercise, push

and pull the han-

dlebars to work

your arms, shoul-

ders, and back.

To exercise only

your lower body,

hold the handgrip

pulse sensor as

you exercise.

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL

CROSSTRAINER

To mount the

elliptical cross-

trainer, hold the

handgrip pulse

sensor and

step onto the

pedal that is in

the lowest

position. Then,

step onto the

other pedal.

Push the ped-

als until they

begin to move

with a continu-

ous motion.

Note: The

pedal disks

can turn in

either direction. It is recommended that you move

the pedal disks in the direction shown by the

arrow; however, for variety, you may turn the pedal

disks in the opposite direction.

To dismount the elliptical crosstrainer, wait until the

pedals come to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical

crosstrainer does not have a free wheel; the ped-

als 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 MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER

Stand behind

the elliptical

crosstrainer,

hold the rear

stabilizer firm-

ly, and lift the

elliptical

crosstrainer

until it can be

moved on the

front wheels.

Carefully move the elliptical crosstrainer to the desired

location and then lower it. CAUTION: To decrease

the possibility of injury, bend your legs and keep

your back straight as you lift the rear stabilizer;

make sure to lift with your legs rather than your

back.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The advanced console offers a selection of features

designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and

effective. When the manual mode of the console is

selected, the resistance of the elliptical crosstrainer

can be adjusted with a touch of a button. As you exer-

cise, the console will provide continuous exercise

feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using

the built-in handgrip pulse sensor. (For information

about an optional chest pulse sensor, refer to page 19.)

The console also offers six Smart workout programs.

Each program automatically changes the resistance of

the elliptical crosstrainer and prompts you to increase

or decrease your pace as it guides you through an

effective workout.

In addition, the console features two Heart Rate work-

out programs that automatically change the resistance

of the elliptical crosstrainer and prompt you to vary

your pace to keep your heart rate near a target heart

rate as you exercise.

The console also features new iFIT.com interactive

technology. IFIT.com technology is like having a per-

sonal trainer right in your home. Using a stereo audio

cable (available at electronics stores), you can connect

the elliptical crosstrainer to your home stereo, portable

stereo, or computer and play special iFIT.com CD pro-

grams (CDs are available separately). IFIT.com CD

programs automatically control the resistance of the

elliptical crosstrainer and prompt you to vary your pace

as a personal trainer coaches you through every step

of your workout. High-energy music provides added

motivation. Each CD features two programs designed

by certified personal trainers.

In addition, you can connect the elliptical crosstrainer

to your VCR and TV and play iFIT.com video programs

(videocassettes are available separately). Video pro-

grams offer the same benefits as iFIT.com CD pro-

grams, but add the excitement of working out with a

class and an instructor.

With the elliptical crosstrainer connected to your com-

puter, you can also go to our new Web site at

www.iFIT.com and access audio programs and video

programs directly from the internet.

For information about the availability of iFIT.com

CDs or videocassettes, send an e-mail to

ellipticalworkouts@iFIT.com, and we’ll notify you

as soon as iFIT.com CDs and videocassettes are

available. Or, call toll-free 1-800-884-0620.
