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.

INCLINE OPERATION

If the stop button is pressed to pause the program, the incline motor will remain at its current height. To return the incline to 0%, press start and change the incline to 0% before dismounting. If the stop button is held for 3 seconds to reset the console, the incline will return to 0%.

 

 

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

 

WARNING

 

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 REAR STABILIZER BAR, carefully lift and roll.

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.
