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 power switch located next to the power jack is in the ON position.

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 or hold the stop button for 3 seconds to reset the console and 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. Note: Be sure to grab the bar and not the plastic cover.

WARNING

 

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.
