POWER
Your programmable elliptical trainer is powered by a power supply. The power supply must be
plugged into the power jack, which is located in the front of the machine near the front foot tube.
LEVELING
The elliptical trainer should be level for optimum use. Once you have placed the elliptical trainer
where you intend to use it, raise or lower the adjustable levelers located underneath each guiderail.
Once you have leveled the elliptical trainer, lock the levelers in place by tightening the wing nuts
against the frame.

TARGET HEART RATE ZONE
Your ‘Target Heart Rate Zone’ is a percentage of your maximum heart rate. Target Zones will vary for
each individual, depending on age, current level of conditioning, and personal fitness goals. The
American Heart Association recommends working-out at a ‘Target Heart Rate Zone’ of between 60%
and 75% of your maximum heart rate. See the chart below for convenient reference.
EXAMPLE
for a
42-year old user: find AGE along the bottom of the chart (round to 40), follow AGE column up to the
TARGET ZONE BAR. RESULTS: 60% of maximum Hear Rate = 108 Beats Per Minute, 75% of maxi-
mum Heart Rate = 135 Beat Per Minute.
