Getting Started
1. Place the fi tness 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 fl ooring.
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.
Note:
If the Console does not turn on after connecting the power, the Console may need to be charged to be able to
activate. Charge the Console until it is able to activate.
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.
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.
8. You are now in position to begin a workout.
Note:
When operating the Bowfl ex™ Max Trainer™ machine, be sure the Legs are moving in the direction as shown on
the Crank Cover.

pedaling the machine.
