.

Getting Started
1. Place the fitness machine in your workout area.
Place the machine on a clean, hard, level surface, free from unwanted material or other objects that may hamper your ability to
move freely. A rubber mat can be used below the machine to prevent the release of static electricity and protect your flooring.
The machine can be moved by one or more persons. Make sure that your own physical strength is capable of safely moving the
machine.
2. Examine for any objects below the Pedals and in the Air Resistance Fan. Be sure it is clear.
3. Connect the power cord to the machine and into a grounded AC Wall Outlet.
4. If you use a Heart Rate Monitor, follow the Heart Rate Monitor directions.
5. To mount the machine, move the Pedals until the one nearest you is in the lowest position.
Care should be used when mounting or dismounting the machine.
Be aware that the Pedals and the Handlebars are connected and when either of these parts move the other does as well. In order to
avoid possible serious injury, grasp the Static Handlebars to steady yourself.
6. Grasp the Static Handlebars under the Console Button Assembly.
7. Steadying yourself with the Static Handlebars, step up onto the lowest Pedal and place your other foot onto the opposite Pedal.
Note:
“Bottomed out” is when the User is unable to start a workout because the Pedals will not move. If this occurs, safely grasp the Static
Handlebars and apply your weight to the heel of the higher foot. While still grasping the Static Handlebar, lean back slightly applying
more weight onto the heel. Once the Pedals begin to move, resume your intended workout.
