How to Stabilize the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer
Once the cross-trainer is positioned in the room lower the front levelers (B) to contact the fl oor. Both wheels should be
1/2” off the ground. The levelers will keep the cross-trainer fi xed to the fl oor while using it.
CAUTION:
Do not use the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer without the levelers touching the fl oor.
After placing the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer where it will be used, check
the stability. If there is even a slight rocking motion, or the unit is not stable the
front levelers will need to be adjusted. Determine which leveler is not resting
fi rmly on the fl oor. To adjust the levelers downward twist the rubber portion of
the leg counterclockwise. To adjust the levelers upward twist the rubber por-
tion of the leg clockwise. After adjusting the levelers, tighten the jam nuts (C)
against the stabilizer to lock the levelers in place.
Note:
After the Cross-Trainer is stable, be sure to tighten the nut on the leveler against the stabilizer tube. If this is not
tightened, noise will occur.
Powering Up the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer
Your Life Fitness Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer may come with either a
U.S. line cord or one of several international line cords.
Insert and screw in
the appropriate power adapter jack into the connector on the front of the
Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer and tighten locking nut to ensure good
connection. Then insert the plug into the wall outlet. Make sure the cord is
placed so it doesn’t bind and will not be walked on. Once the unit is turned
on, the cross-trainer’s stride length will auto-calibrate
(FS6 only)
. Wait 30
seconds to allow for the calibration to complete. Then check that the LCD
display lights up. If not, recheck the plug and wall connections. Make sure
the wall outlet has power.
Mounting the Machine
When mounting the machine it is recommended that the pedal closest to you is in its lowest position. This can be done
by pushing the arms to rotate the pedal until it is centered to the side of you at its lowest position. It is also recom-
mended that the stride length on FS6 units be set to 18 in. (46 cm). The pedal is in its lowest position at 18 in. (46 cm)
on an FS6 unit. If you are standing to the left side of the machine, when facing the console, place your left foot on the
pedal closest to you and then swing your right leg over the right pedal. Use the stationary handlebar to stabilize your-
self.
Dismounting the Machine
Bring the machine to a stop. It is recommended to put the pedal in it’s lowest position on the side of the unit you will
be dismounting. If dismounting the machine on the left side, when facing the console, step off with the right leg fi rst
followed by the left leg. Use the stationary handlebar for stabilization.
Stride Length for Different Users (FS6 only)
The FS6 has nine different stride lengths from 18 - 26 in. (46 - 66 cm). Users may utilize any of the stride lengths.
Research has shown that shorter users may prefer a shorter stride length while taller users may prefer a longer stride
length.
