ARETHESOUNDSMYELLIPTICALMAKESNORMAL?
Our ellipticals are some of the quietest available because they use belt drives and friction free magnetic
resistance. Weuse the highest grade bearings and belts to minimize noise. However, because the resistance
system itself is so quiet, you wifl occasionally hear other slight mechanical noises. Unlike older, louder
technologies, there are no fans, friction belts, or alternator noises to mask these sounds on our ellipticals.
Thesemechanical noises, which may or may not be intermittent, are normal and are caused by the transfer
of significant amounts of energy to a rapidly spinning flywheel Aft bearings, belts and other rotating parts
will generate some noise which will transmit through the casing and frame. It is also normal for these
sounds to change slightly during a workout and over time because of thermal expansion of the parts.
WHYI$ THEELLIPTICALI HADDELIVEREDLOUDERTHANTHEONEATTHESTORE?
All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is generally more background
noise than in your home. Also, there will be less reverberation on a carpeted concrete floor than on a wood
overlay floor. Sometimes a heavy rubber mat will help reduce reverberation through the floor. If a fitness
product is placed close to a wall, there will be more reflected noise.

The computer modeling we have done indicated virtually thousands of maintenance free hours. Belts are
now commonly used in far more demanding applications such as motorcycle drives.
CANI MOVETHETRAINEREASILYONCEITIS ASSEMBLED?
Yourelliptical has a pair of transport wheels built into the front legs. It is easy to move your elliptical by
rolling it on the front transport wheels. It is important that you place your elliptical in a comfortable and
in viting room. Yourefliptical is designed to use minimal floor space. Many people will place their ellipticals
facing the TVor a picture window. If at aft possible, avoid putting your elliptical in a unfinished basement.
Tomake exercise a desirable daily activity for you, the elliptical should be in a comfortable setting.
CANI PEDALBACKWARDSONMYELLIPTICAL?
Yourelliptical allows you to pedal both forward and backwards to exercise and strengthen a wider range
of muscles.
WHATKINDOFROUTINEMAINTENANCEIS REQUIRED?
We use sealed bearings throughout our ellipticals so lubrication is not needed. The most important
maintenance step is to simply wipe your perspiration off the trainer after each use.
HOWDOI CLEANMYELLIPTICAL?
Clean with soap and water cleaners only. Never use solvents on plastic parts.
Cleanliness of your elliptical and its operating environment will keep maintenance problems
and service calls to a minimum. For this reason,HorizonFitness recommendsthat the following
preventivemaintenanceschedulebe followed.
AFTEREACHUSE(DAILY)
Turn off the elliptical by unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet
o Wipe down the elliptical with a damp cloth. Never use solvents, as they can cause damage to the
elliptical
o Inspect the power cord. Replace the power cord if damaged.
o Make sure the power cord is not underneath the elliptical or in any other area where it can become
pinched or cut.

WEEKLY
Clean underneath the elliptical, following these steps:
o Turn off the elliptical
o Move the elliptical to a remote location.
o Wipe or vacuum any dust particles or other objects that may have accumulated underneath the
elliptical
o Return the elliptical to its previous position.
EVERYMONTH
* Inspect all assembly bolts and pedals on the machine for proper tightness.
o Clean any debris off of the pedal arm wheels and guide rails.
