Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical exerciser
regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately. 

To clean the elliptical exerciser, use a damp cloth and
a small amount of mild soap. 

IMPORTANT: To avoid

damage to the console, keep liquids away from
the console and keep the console out of direct
sunlight.

HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT

If the pedals slip while you are pedaling, even while
the resistance is adjusted to the highest setting, the
drive belt may need to be adjusted. To adjust the drive
belt, see assembly step 11 on page 10 and remove
the Left Pedal Leg (24) and the Left Link Arm (25).
Then, see EXPLODED DRAWING A near the end of
this manual and remove the M6 x 25mm Button Screw
(61) from the center of the left Crank Arm Cover (32),
and then carefully remove the left Crank Arm Cover.

Next, remove all the screws from the left side shield,
and then carefully remove the left side shield.

Loosen, but do not
remove, the three
screws (A). Insert
the shaft of a
screwdriver down-
ward between the
Idler (12) and the
pulley located on
the Eddy
Mechanism (10).
Pull the top of the
screwdriver toward
the rear of the
elliptical exerciser until the Belt (80) is tight, and then
tighten the three screws. 

Reattach the left side shield and the left crank arm
cover. Then, see step 11 on page 10 and reattach the
left pedal leg and the left link arm.

HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH

If the console does not display correct feedback, the
reed switch should be adjusted. To adjust the reed
switch, first see EXPLODED DRAWING A near the
end of this manual and loosen the M6 x 25mm Button
Screw (61) in the center of the right Crank Arm Cover
(32), and then carefully rotate the right Crank Arm
Cover out of the way.

Next, see the drawing below and locate the Reed
Switch (21). Loosen, but do not remove, the indicated
M4 x 16mm Screw (72). Slide the Reed Switch slightly
closer to or away from the Magnet (18) on the Pulley
(13). 

Then, retighten the M4 x 16mm Screw (72). Turn one
of the Crank Arms (31) for a moment. Repeat until the
console displays correct feedback. When the Reed
Switch is correctly adjusted, replace the crank arm
cover.

CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING

If the console display becomes dim, the batteries
should be replaced; most console problems are the
result of low batteries. See assembly step 5 on page 7
for replacement instructions.  

HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING

If the console does not display your heart rate when
you hold the handgrip pulse sensor, or if the displayed
heart rate appears to be too high or too low, see step
5 on page 14. 

HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER

If the elliptical exerciser rocks slightly on your floor
during use, see HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL
EXERCISER on page 11.

HOW TO GREASE THE ROLLERS

See the EXPLODED DRAWING near the end of this
manual. If the Rollers (27) squeak when moving on
the Track (2), apply the contents of the included pack-
et of white marine grease equally to each Roller.
Spread the grease evenly around the Rollers. Pedal
the elliptical exerciser until a thin film of grease is dis-
tributed along the Track; wipe off any excess grease.
