HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER
EXERCISING ON THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER
To mount the elliptical crosstrainer, hold the 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. Note:
The pedal disks can turn in either direction. It is recommended that you move the pedal disks in the direction shown below; however, to give vari- ety to your exercise, you may choose to turn the pedal disks in the opposite direction.
To dismount the elliptical crosstrainer, wait until the pedals come to a complete stop. CAUTION: The elliptical crosstrainer does not have a freewheel; 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.

The incline frame can be raised or lowered to vary the intensity of your exercise. To raise the incline frame, lift the end of the incline frame until the crossbar is on top of the incline bracket. Make sure that the incline frame is resting securely on top of the incline bracket. To lower the incline frame, first lift the incline frame slightly. Next, push the incline bracket toward the upright and lower the incline frame onto the stabi- lizer.

USING THE UPPER BODY ARMS
The upper body arms are designed to give you a total body workout. As you exercise, hold the upper body arms and move your arms forward and back in order to work your arms, back, and shoulders.
If you want to exercise only your lower body, hold the handlebar as you exercise.
