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; however, to give variety to your exercise, you may choose to turn the pedal disks in the opposite direction. Pedal Disk Pedal 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 Resistance console. To Knob 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 motivational pacer programs. Each pacer program is designed to guide you through an effective workout 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 remaining 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 12). 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 console 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 disappear. 9
