HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER HOW TO MOVE AND LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER To move the elliptical exerciser, stand in front of it, place one foot against one of the wheels, and firmly hold the upper end of the upright. Pull the upright until you can move the elliptical exerciser on the wheels. Carefully move the elliptical exerciser to the desired location and then lower it. CAUTION: To decrease the risk of injury, do not attempt to move the elliptical exerciser over an uneven surface. HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER To mount the elliptical exerciser, firmly hold the upper body arms 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 discs can turn in either direction. It is recommended that you turn the pedal discs in the direction shown below; however, for variety, you can turn the pedal discs in the opposite direction. Upright Upper Body Arm Wheel Leveling Foot If the elliptical exerciser rocks slightly on your floor, turn one or both of the levelling feet under the front stabilizer until the rocking motion is eliminated. HOW TO ADJUST THE POSITION OF THE HANDLEBARS The upper body arms can be adjusted to the height that is the most comfortable for you. To adjust each upper body arm, first loosen the arm knob. Next, slide the upper body arm to the desired position, and then firmly retighten the arm knob. Make sure that both upper body arms are at the same height. Upper Body Arm Arm Knob Pedal Pedal Disc To dismount the elliptical exerciser, allow the pedals to come to a complete stop. CAUTION: The elliptical exerciser 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 lower pedal. 10
