CONGRATULATIONS! on choosing your elliptical. You’ve taken an important step in developing and

sustaining an exercise program! Your elliptical is a tremendously effective tool for achieving your personal

fitness goals. Regular use of your elliptical can improve the quality of your life in so many ways.

HERE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF EXERCISE:

• Weight Loss

• A Healthier Heart

• Improved Muscle Tone

• Increased Daily Energy Levels

The key to reaping these benefits is to develop an exercise habit. Your new

elliptical will help you eliminate obstacles that prevent you from exercising.

Inclement weather and darkness won't interfere with your workout when you

use your elliptical in the comfort of your home. This guide provides you with

basic information for using and enjoying your new machine.

LOCATION OF THE ELLIPTICAL

Place the elliptical on a level surface. There should be 6 feet of clearance

behind the elliptical, 3 feet on each side and one foot in front for the power

cord (See diagram to the right). Do not place the elliptical in any area that

will block any vent or air openings. The elliptical should not be located in a

garage, covered patio, near water or outdoors.

ELLIPTICAL

OPERATION

POWER

Your programmable elliptical is powered by a power supply. The power must be plugged into the power jack,

which is located in the front of the machine near the STABILIZER TUBE. Make sure the console power switch is

in the ON position.

Do not operate the elliptical if the power cord or plug is damaged.

If the elliptical appears to not be working properly, do not use the elliptical.

MOVING

Your elliptical has a pair of transport wheels built

into the FRONT STABILIZER TUBE. To move, first

remove the power supply and firmly grasp the

CONSOLE MAST, carefully tilt and roll.

Our ellipticals are well built and heavy, weighing up to 200 lbs! Use care and

additional help if necessary when moving.

FOOT POSITIONING

Your elliptical offers a variety of foot positions. Moving your foot to the forward most position of the foot pad

increases your step height, which will create a feel similar to a step machine. Placing your foot toward the back

of the foot pad decreases your step height and creates more of a gliding feel, similar to a smooth walk or run.

Your elliptical also allows you to pedal both forward and backwards to offer a variation to your workout and to

focus on other major leg muscle groups such as your hamstrings and calves.
