HOW TO USE THE AEROFLYER
CAUTION: When you are getting onto and off the AEROFLYER, tighten the resistance dials, hold the handles firmly, and center your body weight directly over the pedals.
CAUTION: Always wear the nylon belt when using the AEROFLYER.
CAUTION: Always hold the handgrips on the handles or place your hands beside the hip pad on the frame when using the
AEROFLYER.
The unique AEROFLYER can be used in either the dependent mode or the independent mode. In the dependent mode, as one pedal moves forward, the other pedal moves back an equal distance. In the independent mode, the pedals move independently of each other, allowing a freer movement.
HOW TO USE THE DEPENDENT MODE
Make sure that the lock knobs are tightened into the legs and pivot brackets (see assembly step 9 on page 8). Tighten the resistance dials, hold the handles, and step onto the pedals.
HOW TO USE THE INDEPENDENT MODE
Remove the lock knobs and lock washers from the legs. Place both lock washers on one lock knob. Insert the lock knob with both washers into the stor- age hole in the crossbar. Insert the other knob without lock washers through the crossbar and tighten the lock knob into the rocker arm.

Tighten the resistance dials, hold the handles, and step onto the pedals. Put on the nylon belt. Exercise as described at the left. CAUTION: When using the independent mode, be careful to control your movement and maintain your balance at all times.
Wrap the nylon belt around your waist as shown and buckle the ends together.
Make sure that the buckle is fully engaged. Adjust the length of the nylon belt, if necessary.

RESISTANCE ADJUSTMENT
To vary the intensity of your exercise in the dependent mode, the resistance of the AEROFLYER can be changed. To increase the resistance, turn the resis- tance dials clockwise. To decrease the resistance, turn the resistance dials counterclockwise.

The proper form for exercising on the AEROFLYER is similar to the motion of walkingÑmove one leg forward as you move the other leg back.
For a full body workout, hold the handles as you walk, and move your arms and legs in motion with the handles and pedals. To vary the effect of the exercise, stand erect or lean against the hip pad, or bend your legs slightly instead of keeping them straight.
For a lower body workout, place your hands on the frame beside the hip pad as you exercise.
