Place the machine on a clean, hard, level surface, free from unwanted material or other objects that may hamper your ability to move freely. A rubber mat can be used below the machine to prevent the release of static electricity and protect your flooring. The machine can be moved by one or more persons. Make sure that your own physical strength is capable of safely moving the machine. 2. Examine for any objects below the Pedals. Be sure it is clear. 3. Connect the power cord to the machine and into a grounded AC Wall Outlet. 4. If you use a Heart Rate Monitor, follow the Heart Rate Monitor directions. 5. To mount the machine, move the Pedals so both are over the Rail Assembly, and not extended past the rear of the machine. Care should be used when mounting or dismounting the machine. Be aware that the Pedals and the Handlebars are connected and when either of these parts move the other does as well. In order to avoid possible serious injury, grasp the Static Handlebars to steady yourself. 6. Grasp the Static Handlebars under the Console Assembly. 7. Steadying yourself with the Static Handlebars, step up onto the Transport Handle / Rear Step and the lowest Pedal. As your weight is applied to the lowest Pedal, both Pedals will move. Be sure that the Pedals do not affect the leg on the Transport Handle / Rear Step. Note: "Bottomed out" is when the User is unable to start a workout because the Pedals will not move. If this occurs, safely grasp the Static Handlebars and apply your weight to the heel of the higher foot. While still grasping the Static Handlebar, lean back slightly applying more weight onto the heel. Once the Pedals begin to move, resume your intended workout. 8. You are now in position to begin a workout.
