HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER PLUGGING IN THE POWER CORD Locate the power cord on the elliptical crosstrainer. Plug the power cord into a surge protector (not included), and plug the surge protector into a 120-volt outlet. The displays and various indicators on the console will light and a tone will sound. To decrease the possibility of damaging the elliptical crosstrainer, always use a surge protector. Note: Each time the power cord is plugged in, the incline frame will move to the lowest position. In addition, the incline frame may automatically move up and then down as the elliptical crosstrainer goes through a calibration sequence. During the calibration sequence, dashes will appear in the left LED display and the INCLINE indicator will flash. EXERCISING ON THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER To mount the elliptical crosstrainer, hold the pulse handlebar and 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. 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 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 USE THE UPPER BODY ARMS The upper body arms are designed to add upperbody exercise to your workouts. Move the upper-body arms forward and back as you exercise in order to work your arms, back, and shoulders. To exercise only your lower body, hold the pulse handlebar as you exercise. Upper Body Arms Pulse Handlebar CAUTION: Before operating the console, read the following precautions. Pulse Handlebar • Always hold the pulse handlebar or the upper body arms when mounting, dismounting, or using the elliptical crosstrainer. • When you stop exercising, allow the pedals to slowly come to a stop. Pedals • Keep your feet and objects from beneath the elliptical crosstrainer. • To reduce the risk of electric shock, keep the console dry. Pedal Disk • 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 determining heart rate trends in general. 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 above; however, to give variety to your exercise, you may turn the pedal disks in the opposite direction. 9
