HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL To mount the elliptical, hold the handlebars (I) or the upper body arms (J) and step onto the pedal (K) that is in the lower position. Then, step onto the other pedal. Push the pedals until they begin to move with a continuous motion. Note: The pedals can turn in either direction. It is recommended that you turn the pedals in the direction shown by the arrow; however, for variety, you can turn the pedals in the opposite direction. See HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL on page 10 and lower the upright to the folded position. Then, lift the handle (L) on the front stabilizer and tip the frame upright until the elliptical rests on the small and large storage feet (M). L M J I L K O N To dismount the elliptical, wait until the pedals come to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical does not have a free wheel; the pedals will continue to move until the flywheel stops. When the pedals are stationary, step off the higher pedal first. Then, step off the lower pedal. HOW TO STORE THE ELLIPTICAL Due to the size and weight of the elliptical, storing it requires two persons. CAUTION: You must be able to safely lift 100 lbs. (45 kg) to lift, store, and lower the elliptical. To lower the elliptical for use, first hold the handle (N) on the frame with one hand and hold the front stabilizer (O) with your other hand. Next, pull the frame towards you and lower the frame until you can reach the handle (L) on the front stabilizer. Then, hold the handle on the front stabilizer with both hands and finish lowering the elliptical to the floor. 11
