HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL TRAINER

To mount the elliptical trainer, firmly hold the handle- bars and carefully 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 turn the pedal disks in the direction shown below; howev- er, to give variety to your exercise, you may choose to turn the pedal disks in the opposite direction.

To dismount the elliptical trainer, allow the pedals to come to a complete stop. CAUTION: The elliptical trainer does not have a free wheel; 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.

HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE OF THE PEDALS

As you exercise, you can adjust the resistance of the pedals with the resistance knob on the console. To increase the resistance, turn the knob clockwise; to

decrease the resistance, turn the knob counterclock- wise. Important: The knob may not stop turning when maximum or minimum resistance is reached. When the knob becomes more difficult to turn, stop turning it or damage will result.
