WHERE TO PLACE THE TOTAL-BODY ELLIPTICAL CROSS-TRAINER

After following all safety instructions move the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer to the place where it will be used. Allow a minimum clearance of 12 inches (30.5 cm) around the product. See specifications for full dimensions if needed. The Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer is equipped with front and rear wheels so that it is simple to push or pull the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer to its final destination. To use the wheels make sure that the levelers are twist- ed up far enough so that all wheels (A) can engage with the floor. Once the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer is properly positioned, allow enough space in the front of the Total- Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer for the movement of the pedal levers. Also be sure to allow space on the side so that it is easy to mount the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer from the side.

CAUTION: Make certain you have plenty of room for the swing of the moving arms. Test the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer at all stride lengths before finalizing its location.

CAUTION: Place Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer in a dry

Aplace. Do not place in highly humid areas, like near swimming pools, as rust and corrosion may occur.

HOW TO STABILIZE THE TOTAL-BODY ELLIPTICAL CROSS-TRAINER

Once the cross-trainer is positioned in the room lower the levelers on the front stabilizer to contact the floor. The levelers will keep the cross-trainer fixed to the floor while using it.

CAUTION: Do not use the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer without the levelers touching the floor. After placing the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer where it will be used, check the stability. If there is even a slight rocking motion, or the unit is not stable the levelers will need to be adjusted. Determine which leveler is not resting firmly on the floor. To adjust the levelers downward twist the rubber portion of the leg counterclockwise. To adjust the levelers upward twist the rubber portion of the leg clockwise.

Note: After the Cross-Trainer is level, be sure to tighten the nut on the leveler against the stabilizer tube. If this is not tightened, noise will occur.

POWERING UP THE TOTAL-BODY ELLIPTICAL CROSS-TRAINER
Your Life Fitness Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer may come with either a U.S. power
supply or one of several international power supplies. Insert the appropriate power
adapter jack into the connector (B) on the back of the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer.

button on the CoachZone to make sure it is powered. If not, recheck the plug and the
wall connections and make sure the wall outlet has power
MOUNTING THE MACHINE

When mounting the machine it is recommended that the pedal closest to you is in its lowest position. This can be done by pushing the arms to rotate the pedal until it is centered to the side of you at its lowest position. If you are standing to the left side of the machine, when facing the console, place your left foot on the pedal closest to you and then swing your right leg over the right pedal. Use the stationary handlebar to stabilize yourself.

DISMOUNTING THE MACHINE

Bring the machine to a stop. It is recommended to put the pedal in it’s lowest position on the side of the unit you will be dis- mounting. If dismounting the machine on the left side, when facing the console, step off with the right leg first followed by the left leg. Use the stationary handlebar for stabilization.

STRIDE LENGTH FOR DIFFERENT USERS

The X5 has stride lengths from 18 inches to 24 inches (46 cm to 61 cm). While it is fine for all size users to utilize any of the stride lengths, research has shown that shorter users may prefer a shorter stride length while taller users may prefer a longer stride length.
