Seat adjustment
Proper seat adjustment ensures maximum exercise efficiency and
comfort, while reducing the risk of injury.
1. Place one crank arm in the forward position. Your arm should
be slightly bent at the elbow (Fig. 1).
2. If your arm is too straight or you cannot reach
the crank handle, you will need to move the seat
forward. If your arm is bent too much, you will
need to move the seat backward.
3. To move the seat, sit and depress the foot
pedal locking pin at the base of the seat.
4. Slide the seat forward or backward to the
desired position. When the seat is in the desired
position, release the foot pedal, repositioning the
locking pin in the desired, pre-set hole.
5. The height of the seat is also adjustable.
Standing, fully elevate the seat by pulling up
on the adjustment lever located underneath
the seat.
6. Then, sitting in the seat, pull up again on the
lever until the seat lowers itself to the desired
position.
7. Try several seat locations to find the most
comfortable position.
■
Crank arm adjustment
The crank arms are adjustable to provide for
comfort, range of motion and exercise variety.
To adjust crank arm length, turn the locking pin
counter-clockwise and pull out (Fig. 2). Slide the
crank arm to the desired length and reposition
the locking pin in a pre-set hole. To change the
crank arms for simultaneous arm motion, repeat
this procedure, sliding the arm completely out
and sliding it back in the opposite position,
parallel with the other crank arm.
■
Standard Workout
Once you are in position and sitting comfortably,
place your feet on the foot rests and grasp crank
handles with palms forward. In the standard posi-
tion, the crank handles will be in independent
positions (Fig. 1). Begin turning the crank arms at
an easy pace until you feel secure and comfort-
able. To increase the air resistance and workload,
increase your crank speed.
■
Alternative workouts
You can add variety to your workout by altering
the position of the crank arms by turning the
cranks in a backwards motion, or by doing the exercise standing
up. For a simultaneous arm motion, reposition one crank arm to
be parallel with the other and do the exercise with both arms
moving in a uniform motion (Fig. 3). To exercise in a standing
position, or for wheelchair access (Fig. 4 & 5), release the foot
pedal locking pin and move the seat backward and completely
off of the seat track.

Getting started
1. To activate the computer, begin by turning the hand cranks or
pressing any key.
2. Programming your current elevation into the computer
before beginning your workout will ensure a more accurate
work level. To set elevation, press the enter and race keys at the
same time. You will then be prompted to choose English or met-
ric units. Press the (+) key to select feet and the (–) key to select
meters. Then press enter to set your selection. You will be
prompted to use the (+) and (–) keys to choose the correct ele-
vation. Press the enter button to set your selection.
3. The resistance is factory pre-calibrated. You may recalibrate
the computer by pressing the enter and manual keys at the
same time. Then press the race key and turn the resistance
handle counter-clockwise until it stops (Fig. 6). Press enter
to calibrate.
4. Exercise resistance can be set at any time before or during a
program. To set, turn the resistance handle clockwise to
increase and counter-clockwise to decrease. The computer’s
resistance scale will display the current resistance level.
5. Beginning your workout, you will be prompted to select a
program mode (MANUAL, INTERVAL, PYRAMID OR RACE). Press
one of the four program buttons.
6. You can then set time using the (+) and (–) keys. Press enter to
set your selection. You will then be prompted to choose your
ability level, again using the (+) and (–) keys. Press enter to set
your selection and begin your workout.

Failure to follow any of these safeguards may result in injury or serious health problems.
• Do not place fingers or any other objects into moving parts of the exercise equipment
• Keep children and pets away from the Windjammer upper body exerciser. A child’s curiosi-
ty may result in injury. Do not allow children to use the Windjammer Exerciser. The
machine is designed and intended for adults, not children.
• To avoid entanglement and possible injury, do not expose hands or arms to the drive
mechanism.
• Do not release the crank handles on the Windjammer upper body exerciser until the crank
handles are at a complete STOP.
• Warn bystanders to keep a safe distance. Do not allow anyone to touch the exerciser while
it is in operation.
