suspect the voltage is low, contact your local power company or a licensed electri-
cian for proper testing.

expose this elliptical to rain or moisture. This product is NOT designed
for use outdoors, near a pool or spa, or in any other high humidity environment.
Maximum
environmental ratings are 40-120 degrees Fahrenheit, 95% humidity non-con-
densing (no water droplets forming on surfaces).
• NEVER
operate this elliptical without reading and completely understanding the results of any operational
change you request from the computer.
• Understand that changes in resistance do not occur immediately. Set your desired level on the computer
console and release the adjustment key. The computer will obey the command gradually.
• NEVER

Important Electrical Instructions
Important Operation Instructions
The FS 5.9e has an exciting electronic incline feature that will increase the variety of your workouts. When the
incline is at its lowest position you get a traditional elliptical workout. As the incline increases you will feel your
knees rise higher with each step, which changes the emphasis of the muscles being used. The power incline is
controlled by keys on the console and also automatically during the built-in workout programs.
Incline Adjustment
The elliptical is equipped with transport wheels, which are engaged when the rear of the elliptical is lifted.

The foot pedals are adjustable to meet the users preference of pedal
angle. There are three angles available with a simple pull-pin adjustment
located under the footpads (see illustration). The lowest position will set
the footpads to zero (0) degrees at the bottom the elliptical stroke. The
second position sets the pedal angle at five (5) degrees and the third
position sets the pedal angle at ten (10) degrees. Some individuals get
a numb foot from the compression of the nerves under your foot during
an elliptical workouts and some individuals have problems with flexibility
in their Achilles tendons. This footpad adjustability allows those users to
find the angle that works best for them. A side benefit of the adjustable
footplate is that you can change the emphasis on the muscles in your
lower extremities during your work out. The higher the angle, the more
you emphasize the quadriceps. The lower the angle, the more you
emphasize the hamstrings and glutes.
