Elliptical Operation & Adjustments
POWER
The console on your (2.1E) is powered by 2 AA batteries, which are replaceable through the back side of the console. Your elliptical itself, is powered by you.
Your programmable (4.1E) elliptical trainer is powered by a power supply. The power supply must be plugged into the power jack, which is located in the front of the machine near the front foot tube.
LEVELING
The elliptical trainer should be level for optimum use. Once you have placed the elliptical trainer where you intend to use it, raise or lower the adjustable levelers located on the bottom of the rear base frame. Once you have leveled the elliptical trainer, lock the levelers in place by tightening the wing nuts against the frame.
FOOT POSITIONING
Your elliptical trainer 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 trainer 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.
