HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL HOW TO MOVE AND LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL Due to the size and weight of the elliptical, moving it requires two persons. With the help of another person, lift the handle on the rear of the elliptical until the elliptical will roll on the front wheels. Carefully move the elliptical to the desired location and then lower it. To mount the elliptical, hold the handlebars and step onto the pedal that is in the lowest position. Then, step onto the other pedal. Push the pedals until they begin to move with a continuous motion. Note: The crank arms can turn in either direction. It is recommended that you turn the crank arms in the direction shown by the arrow; however, for variety, you can turn the crank arms in the opposite direction. Wheel Lift Here Handlebars Pedals Crank Arm Levelling Feet Levelling Foot CAUTION: To decrease the risk of injury, bend your legs and keep your back straight. Make sure to use your legs rather than your back to lift the elliptical. Do not attempt to move the elliptical over an uneven surface. If the elliptical rocks slightly on your floor, see the inset drawings and turn the levelling feet under the front and rear of the elliptical until the rocking motion is eliminated. 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. 14
