Congratulations on choosing your elliptical. You’ve taken an important step in developing and sustaining
an exercise program! Your elliptical is a tremendously effective tool for achieving your personal fitness
goals. Regular use of your elliptical can improve the quality of your life in so many ways.
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.

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 console
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. 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. 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.
Our ellipticals are well built and heavy, weighing up to 280 lbs! Use care and
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.
