• Inspect all assembly bolts and pedals on the machine for proper tightness.
HOW HARD?
How hard you workout is also determined by your goals. If you use your Horizon Fitness
Elliptical Trainer to prepare for a 5K run, you will probably work out at a higher
intensity than if your goal is general fitness. Regardless of your long term goals, always
begin an exercise program at low intensity. Aerobic exercise does not have to be painful
to be beneficial! There are two ways to measure your exercise intensity. The first is by
monitoring your heart rate (see page 18), and the second is by evaulating your perceived
exertion level (this is simpler than it sounds!).
Note:
Always consult your physician before beginning an exercise program.
PERCEIVED EXERTION LEVEL
The second and simpler way to gauge your exercise intensity is to evaluate your perceived
exertion level. While exercising, if you are too winded to maintain a conversation
without gasping, you are working out too hard. A good rule of thumb is to work to the
point of exhilaration, not exhaustion. If you cannot catch your breath, it's time to slow
down. Always be aware of other warning signs of overexertion.

WHAT KIND OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED?
We use sealed bearings throughout our Elliptical Trainer so lubrication is not needed. The
most important maintenance step is to simply wipe your perspiration off the trainer after
each use.
HOW DO I CLEAN MY HORIZON FITNESS ELLIPTICAL TRAINER?
Clean with soap and water cleaners only. Never use solvents on plastic parts. Cleanliness
of your Horizon Fitness elliptical trainer and its operating environment will keep
maintenance problems and service calls to a minimum. For this reason, Horizon Fitness
recommends that the following preventative maintenance schedule be followed.
AFTER EACH USE (DAILY)
Turn off the elliptical trainer with the on/off switch, and unplug the power cord from the
wall outlet.
WARNING!
To remove power from the elliptical, the power cord must be disconnected from the wall
outlet.
•
Wipe down the elliptical trainer with a damp cloth. Never use solvents, as they can
cause damage to the elliptical.
• Inspect the power cord. If the power cord is damaged contact Horizon Fitness.
• Make sure the power cord is not underneath the elliptical trainer or in any other area
where it can become pinched or cut.
EVERY WEEK
Clean underneath the elliptical, following these steps:
• Turn off the elliptical trainer with the on/off switch.
•
Then unplug the power cord at the wall outlet.
• Move the elliptical trainer to a remote location.
• Wipe or vacuum any dust particles or other objects that may have accumulated
underneath the elliptical.
• Return the elliptical trainer to its previous position.
