Important Safety Instructions

WARNING

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should

always be followed, including the following:

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

DANGER - To reduce the risk of electric shock:

Always unplug this appliance from the electrical outlet

immediately after using and before cleaning.

WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, re, electric

shock, or injury to persons, install the elliptical on a at level

surface with access to a 115-volt, 15-amp grounded outlet

with only the elliptical plugged into the circuit.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD UNLESS IT IS A 18AWG OR

BETTER, WITH ONLY ONE OUTLET ON THE END:

• To reduce the risk of burns, re electric shock, or injury

to persons:

• An appliance should never be left unattended when

plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use, and

before putting on or taking off parts.

• Do not operate under blanket or pillow. Excessive

heating can occur and cause re, electric shock, or

injury to persons.

• Close supervision is necessary when this appliance

is used by, on, or near children, invalids, or disabled

persons.

• Use this appliance only for its intended use as

described in this manual. Do not use attachments not

recommended by the manufacturer.

• Never operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord

or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been

dropped or damaged, or dropped into water. Return

the appliance to a service center for examination and

repair.

• Do not carry this appliance by supply cord or use cord

as a handle.

• Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.

• Never operate the appliance with the air openings

blocked. Keep the air openings free of lint, hair, and the

like.

• Never drop or insert any object into any opening.

• Do not use outdoors.

• Do not operate where aerosol (spray) products are

being use or where oxygen is being administered.

• Connect this appliance to a properly grounded outlet

only.

• The appliance is intended for household use.

• This exercise equipment is not intended for use by

persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental

capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge.

• Keep children under the age of 13 away from this

machine.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - THINK SAFETY!

WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals

including Toluene and Acrylamide which are known to the

State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or

other reproductive harm.

For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

Fitness Equipment Safety Instructions

To disconnect turn all controls to the off position, then remove the plug from the outlet.

• Do not operate equipment on deeply padded, plush or shag carpet. Damage to both carpet and equipment may result.

• Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult a physician. This is especially important for persons over the age

of 35 or persons with pre-existing health conditions.

• Do not attempt to use your equipment for any purpose other than for the purpose it is intended.

• Keep hands away from all moving parts.

• The pulse sensors are not medical devices. Their purpose is to provide you with an approximate measurement in

relation to your target heart rate. Use of a chest transmitter strap (sold separately) is a much more accurate method

of heart rate analysis .Various factors, including the user’s movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The

pulse sensors are intended only as exercise aids in determining heart rate trends in general.

• Wear proper shoes. High heels, dress shoes, sandals or bare feet are not suitable for use on your equipment. Quality

athletic shoes are recommended to avoid leg fatigue.

Failure to follow all guidelines may compromise the effectiveness of the exercise experience, expose yourself (and possibly

others) to injury, and reduce the longevity of the equipment.

Important Electrical Instructions

WARNING

NEVER remove any cover without rst disconnecting AC power. If voltage varies by ten percent (10%) or more, the

performance of your Elliptical may be affected. Such conditions are not covered under your warranty. If you suspect the

voltage is low, contact your local power company or a licensed electrician for proper testing.

NEVER 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. The operating temperature specication is 40 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and humidity

is 95% non-condensing (no water drops forming on surfaces).

Circuit Breakers: Some circuit breakers used in homes are not rated for high inrush currents that can occur when a

elliptical is rst turned on or even during use. If your elliptical is tripping the house circuit breaker (even though it is the

proper current rating) but the circuit breaker on the elliptical itself does not trip, you will need to replace the home breaker

with a high inrush type. This is not a warranty defect. This is a condition we as a manufacture have no ability to control. This

part is available through most electrical supply stores. Examples: Grainger part # 1D237, or available online at www.squared.

com part #QO120HM. The electrical outlet used should have a dedicated 15 amp circuit breaker.

Grounding Instructions

This product must be grounded. If the your equipment should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path

of least resistance for electric current, reducing the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an

equipment-grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in

accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a

qualied electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug

provided with the product if it will not t the outlet; have a proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.

This product is for use on a nominal 110-volt/15 amp dedicated circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug

illustrated below. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated below may be used to connect this plug to a

2-pole receptacle as shown below if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used

only until a properly grounded outlet, (shown below) can

be installed by a qualied electrician. The green colored

rigid ear-lug, or the like, extending from the adapter, must

be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly

grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it

must be held in place by a metal screw.

Important Operation Instructions

• NEVER operate this elliptical trainer 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 resistance level on the computer

console and release the adjustment key. The computer will obey the command gradually.

• NEVER use your elliptical during an electrical storm. Surges may occur in your household power supply that could

damage elliptical components. Unplug the elliptical during an electrical storm as a precaution.

• Use caution while participating in other activities while pedaling on your elliptical trainer; such as watching television,

reading, etc. These distractions may cause you to lose balance which may result in serious injury.

• Do not use excessive pressure on console control keys. They are precision set to function properly with little nger

pressure.

MUSCLE ACTIVATION FIGURE

There is an anatomical gure located at the top of the console. This gure will light all areas that are activated when using

the elliptical. These will light up during any of the programs. You can control which muscles are activated by changing the

incline and swinging your arms. The pre-set programs will determine which lower body muscles will be activated by automat-

ically adjusting the incline. Generally the following guidelines hold true:

• The upper body LED’s will light any time your hands aren’t in contact with the pulse grip sensors.

• The lower body lights will activate in three degrees of engagement: Green represents minimal muscle involvement, Am-

ber represents medium involvement, and Red represents full or heavy activation.

Forward pedal rotation

• Levels 0-7.5 Incline: Amber - Gluteals and Quadriceps light up; Green - Hamstrings and Calves light up.

• Levels 8-20 Incline: Red – Gluteals light up, Amber – Quadriceps light up, Green – Hamstrings and Calves Light up.

Reverse Pedal rotation

• Levels 0-7.5 Incline : Amber – Calves, Hamstrings, and Quadriceps light up; Green – Gluteals lights up.

• Levels 8-20 Incline: Red – Calves, Hamstrings, and Quadriceps light up; Green- Gluteals lights up.

Heart Rate % Proﬁle

The console LCD screen will display your current heart rate anytime a

pulse is detected. The Bar Graph, located to the right of the LCD screen, will show your current heart rate % in relation to

your projected maximum heart rate, which is determined by your age that you entered during the programming phase of

any of the 10 programs. The signicance of the bar graph colors are as follows:

• 50-60% of maximum is Amber

• 65-80% of maximum is Amber and Green

• 85-90% or more is Amber, Green, and Red

POWER

When the power cord is connected to the elliptical, the console will automatically power up. When

initially powered on the console will perform an internal self-test. During this time all the lights will turn on.

When the lights go off, the Message Center will show the software version (i.e.: VER 1.0).The distance window

shows the distance total and the time window shows the total hours of use.

The odometer will remain displayed for only a few seconds then the console will go to the start up display. The

dot matrix display will be scrolling through the different proles of the programs and the Message Center will be

scrolling the start up message. You may now begin to use the console.

Quick Start

This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers up you just press the Start key

to begin, this will initiate the Quick Start mode. In Quick Start the Time will count up from zero and

the workload may be adjusted manually by pressing the Level Up/Down keys. The dot matrix display

will have only the bottom row lit at rst. As you increase the work load more rows will light indicating a

harder workout. The elliptical trainer will get harder to pedal as the rows increase.

There are 20 levels of resistance available for plenty of variety. The rst 5 levels are very easy workloads

and the changes between levels are set to a good progression for de-conditioned users. Levels 6-10 are

more challenging, but the increases in resistance from one level to the next remain small. Levels 11-15

start getting tough as the levels jump more dramatically. Levels 16-20 are extremely hard and are good

for short interval peaks and elite athletic training.

Basic Information

The Message Center will initially be displaying the Program name. When in scan mode during a

program, speed will be displayed for four seconds, then move on and display Watts (indication of

workload). If 100 watts is displayed, you are doing enough work to keep a 100-watt light bulb lit. The

data changes to Laps completed, Segment time, Max level. Pressing the Enter key again will bring you

back to the beginning.

The Stop key actually has several functions. Pressing the Stop key once during a program will pause

the program for 5 minutes. If you need to get a drink, answer the phone or any of the many things

that could interrupt your workout, this is a great feature. To resume your workout during Pause, just

press the Start key. If the Stop key is pressed twice during a workout, the program will end and the

console will display your Workout Summary (Total time, Avg. Speed, Avg. Watts, Avg. HR, total Laps). If

the Stop key is held down for 3 seconds or a third time during the program, the console will perform

a complete Reset. During data entry for a program the Stop key performs a previous screen or

segment function. This allows you to go back to change programming data.

Program Keys

The program keys are used to preview each program. When you rst turn the console on you may

press each program key to preview what the program prole looks like. If you decide that you want

to try a program, press the corresponding program key and then press the Enter key to select the

program and enter into the data-setting mode.

The elliptical trainer has a built in heart rate monitoring system. Simply grasping the hand pulse sensors

on the stationary handle bars or wearing the heart rate transmitter (see Using Heart Rate Transmitter

section) will start the Heart Icon blinking (this may take a few seconds). The Pulse Display Window will

display your heart rate, or Pulse in beats per minute.

The console includes a built-in fan to help keep you cool. To turn the fan on, press the key on the left

side of the console.

Programming The Console

Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to suit your

needs. Some of the information asked for is necessary to ensure the readouts are correct. You will be

asked for your Age and Weight. Entering your Age is necessary during the Heart Rate programs to

ensure the correct settings are in the program for your Age. Otherwise the work settings could be too

high or low for you. Entering your Weight aides in calculating a more correct Calorie reading. Although

we cannot provide an exact calorie count, we do want to be as close as possible.

CALORIE NOTE: Calorie readings on every piece of exercise equipment, whether it is in a gym or at home,

are not accurate and tend to vary widely. They are meant only as a guide to monitor your progress

from workout to workout. The only way to measure your calorie burn accurately is in a clinical setting

connected to a host of machines. This is because every person is different and burns calories at a

different rate. Some good news is that you will continue to burn calories at an accelerated rate for at

least an hour after you have nished exercising!

Entering A Program And Changing Settings

When you enter a program, by pressing a program key, then Enter key, you have the option of entering

your own personal settings. If you want to workout without entering new settings, then just press the

Start key. This will bypass the programming of data and take you directly to the start of your workout.

If you want to change the personal settings then just follow the instructions in the Message Center. If

you start a program without changing the settings, the default or saved settings will be used.

NOTE: Age and Weight default settings will change when you enter a new number. So the last Age and

Weight entered will be saved as the new default settings. If you enter your Age and Weight the rst

time you use the elliptical trainer, you will not have to enter it every time you work out unless either

your Age or Weight changes, or someone else enters a different Age and Weight.

Programmable Features

Manual

The Manual program works as the name implies, manually. This means that you control the workload

and not the computer. To start the Manual program, follow the instructions below or just press the

Start key.

1. Press the Manual key, then press the Enter key.

2. The Message Center will ask you to enter your Age. You may enter your age, using the Level Up/Down keys, then

press the Enter key to accept the new value and proceed on to the next screen.

3. You are now asked to enter your Weight. You may adjust the Weight value using the Level Up/Down keys, then press

Enter to continue.

4. Next is Time. You may adjust the Time and press Enter to continue.

5. Now you are nished editing the settings and can begin your workout by pressing the Start key. You can also go back

and modify your settings by pressing the Enter key.

6. Once the program starts you will be at level one. This is the easiest level and it is a good idea to stay at level one for a

while to warm up. If you want to increase the work load at any time press the Level Up key; the Level Down key will

decrease the work-load.

7. During the Manual program you will be able to scroll through the data in the Message Center by pressing the Enter

key.

8. When the program ends you may press Start to begin the same program again or Stop to exit the program or

you can save the program you just completed as a custom user program by pressing a User key and following the

instructions in the Message Center.

Preset Programs

The elliptical has ve different programs that have been designed for a variety of workouts. These ve

programs have factory preset work level proles for achieving different goals.

HILL

This program follows a triangle or pyramid type

of gradual progression from approximately 10% of

maximum effort (the level that you chose before

starting this program) up to a maximum effort

which lasts for 10% of the total workout time, then a

gradual regression of resistance back to approximately 10% of maximum effort.

Incline: The pedal elevation is a more gradual and sustained progression. Maximum elevation is in the

middle of the workout and lasts for 10% of the duration

FAT BURN

This program follows a quick progression up to the maximum resistance level (default or user input

level) that is sustained for 2/3 of the workout. This program will challenge your ability to sustain your

energy output for an extended period of time.

Incline: The pedal elevation is a quick and sustained

progression up to the maximum value (default or

user input) for 90% of the workout duration.

CARDIO

This program presents a quick progression up to near maximum resistance level (default or user input

level). It has slight uctuations up and down to allow your heart rate to elevate, and then recover

repeatedly, before beginning a quick cool down. This will build up your heart muscle and increase blood

ow and lung capacity.

Incline: The elevation in this program is moderate.

There are several elevation spikes at different points

of the workout. Segments 4, 9, and 14 are maximum

elevation for this program.

STRENGTH

This program has a gradual progression of

resistance up to 100% of maximum effort that is

sustained for 25% of workout duration. This will

help build strength and muscular endurance in the

lower body and gluts. A brief cool down follows.

Incline: There is a quick climb to a moderate, sustained elevation that lasts the majority of the workout

length.

INTERVAL

This program takes you through high levels of

intensity followed by recovery periods of low

intensity. This program utilizes and develops your “Fast Twitch” muscle bers which are used when

performing tasks that are intense and short in duration. These deplete your oxygen level and spike

your heart rate, followed by periods of recovery and heart rate drop to replenish oxygen. Your

cardiovascular system gets programmed to use oxygen more efciently.

Incline: This program will spike similar to the resistance prole, but in different segments (columns); this

means that all of your lower extremity muscles will be equally challenged throughout this program. The

incline alternates between 25 & 65 % of maximum elevation.

Programming Preset Programs

1. Select the desired program key then press the Enter key.

2. The Message Center will ask you to enter your Age. You may adjust the age setting, using the Level Up/Down keys,

Custom User Deﬁned Programs

There are two customizable User programs that allow you to build and save your own workout. The

two programs, User 1 and User 2, operate exactly the same way so there is no reason to describe

them separately. You can build your own custom program by following the instructions below or you

can save any other preset program you complete as a custom program. Both programs allow you to

further personalize it by adding your name.

1. Press the User 1 or User 2 key. The Message Center will show a welcome message. If you had previously saved a

program the message will contain your name. Then press the Enter key to begin programming.

2. If you have already saved a program to either U1 or U2, it will be displayed and you are ready to begin. If not, you will

have the option of inputing a username. In the Message Window, the letter “A” will be blinking. Use the Level Up/

Down buttons to select the appropriate rst letter of your name (pressing the up button will switch to the letter

“B”; pressing the Down button will switch to letter “Z”). Press Enter when the desired letter is displayed. Repeat this

process until all of the characters of your name have been programmed (maximum 7 characters). When nished press

Stop.

3. If there is a program already stored in User when you press the key, you will have an option to run the program as it is

or delete the program and build a new one. At the welcome message screen, when pressing Start or Enter you will

be prompted: Run Program? Use the Level Up/Down arrows to select Yes or No. If you select No, you will then be

asked if you want to delete the currently saved program. It is necessary to delete the current program if you want to

build a new one.

4. The Message Center will ask you to enter your Age. You may enter your age, using the Level Up/Down keys, then

Center says “PROG SAVED” then will give you the option to Start or modify the program. Pressing Stop will exit to

the start up screen.

Heart Rate Programs

The old motto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been

overpowered by the benets of exercising comfortably. A

great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of

heart rate monitors. With the proper use of a heart rate

monitor, many people nd that their usual choice of exercise

intensity was either too high or too low and exercise is much

more enjoyable by maintaining their heart rate in the desired

benet range.

To determine the benet range in which you wish to train,

you must rst determine your Maximum Heart Rate. This can

be accomplished by using the following formula: 220 minus your age. This will give you the Maximum

Heart Rate (MHR)for someone of your age. To determine the effective heart rate range for specic

goals you simply calculate a percentage of your MHR. Your Heart rate training zone is 50% to 90%

of your maximum heart rate. 60% of your MHR is the recommended for burning fat while 80% is

recommended for strengthening the cardio vascular system. This 60% to 80% is the zone to stay in for

maximum benet.

For someone who is 40 years old their

target heart rate zone is calculated:

220 – 40 = 180 (maximum heart rate)

180 x .6 = 108 beats per minute (60% of maximum)

180 X .8 = 144 beats per minute (80% of maximum)

So for a 40 year old the training zone would

be 108 to 144 beats per minute.

If you enter your age during programming the console will perform this calculation automatically.

Entering your age is used for the Heart Rate programs. After calculating your MHR you can decide

upon which goal you would like to pursue.

The two most popular reasons for, or goals, of exercise are cardiovascular tness (training for the heart

and lungs) and weight control. The black columns on the chart above represent the MHR for a person

whose age is listed at the bottom of each column. The training heart rate, for either cardiovascular

tness or weight loss, is represented by two different lines that cut diagonally through the chart. A

denition of the lines’ goal is in the bottom left-hand corner of the chart. If your goal is cardiovascular

tness or if it is weight loss, it can be achieved by training at 80% or 60%, respectively, of your MHR

on a schedule approved by your physician. Consult your physician before participating in any exercise

program.

With all Spirit Fitness Heart Rate programs you may use the heart rate monitor feature without using

the Heart Rate program. This function can be used during manual mode or during any of the nine

different programs. The Heart Rate program automatically controls resistance at the pedals.

Rate of Perceived Exertion

Heart rate is important but listening to your body also has a lot of advantages. There are more

variables involved in how hard you should workout than just heart rate. Your stress level, physical health,

emotional health, temperature, humidity, the time of day, the last time you ate and what you ate, all

contribute to the intensity at which you should workout. If you listen to your body, it will tell you all of

these things.

The rate of perceived exertion (RPE), also know as the Borg scale, was developed by Swedish

physiologist G.A.V. Borg. This scale rates exercise intensity from 6 to 20 depending upon how you feel

or the perception of your effort.

The scale is as follows:

Rating Perception of Effort

You can get an approximate heart rate level for each rating by simply adding a zero to each rating. For example a rating of

12 will result in an approximate heart rate of 120 beats per minute. Your RPE will vary depending up the factors discussed

earlier. That is the major benet of this type of training. If your body is strong and rested, you will feel strong and your pace

will feel easier. When your body is in this condition, you are able to train harder and the RPE will support this. If you are

feeling tired and sluggish, it is because your body needs a break. In this condition, your pace will

feel harder. Again, this will show up in your RPE and you will train at the proper level for that

day.

Wearing The Chest Strap

1. Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the interlocking key.

2. Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too tight to remain

comfortable.

3. Position the transmitter with the logo centered in the middle of your torso facing away

from your chest (some people must position the transmitter slightly left of center). Attach

the nal end of the elastic strap by inserting the round end and, using the locking parts, secure the transmitter and strap

around your chest.

4. Position the transmitter directly below the pectoral muscles.

5. Sweat is the best conductor to measure very minute heart beat electrical signals. However, plain water can also be used

to pre-wet the electrodes (2 ribbed oval areas on the reverse side of the belt and both sides of the transmitter). It’s

also recommended that you wear the transmitter strap a few minutes before your work out. Some users, because of

body chemistry, have a more difcult time in achieving a strong, steady signal at the beginning. After “warming up”, this

problem lessens.

6. Your workout must be within range - distance between transmitter/receiver – to achieve a strong steady signal. The

length of range may vary somewhat but generally stay close enough to the console to maintain good, strong, reliable

readings. Wearing the transmitter directly on bare skin assures you of proper operation. If you wish, you may wear the

transmitter over a shirt. To do so, wet the areas of the shirt that the electrodes will rest upon.

Note: The transmitter is automatically activated when it detects activity from the user’s heart. Additionally, it automatically

deactivates when it does not receive any activity. Although the transmitter is water resistant, moisture can have the effect

of creating false signals, so you should take precautions to completely dry the transmitter after use to prolong battery life

(estimated transmitter battery life is 2500 hours). The replacement battery is Panasonic CR2032.

Using the Spirit F IT App

In order to help you achieve your exercise goals, your new exercise machine comes equipped with a

Bluetooth® transceiver that will allow it to interact with selected phones or tablet computers via the

Spirit Fit App.

Just download the free Spirit Fit App from the Apple Store or Google Play, and then follow the

instructions in the App to sync with your exercise machine. Now you can view current workout data

in three different Display screens on your device. You can also easily switch back and forth from the

workout display view to internet/social media/email sites via icons on the display screen. When your

workout is nished, the data is automatically saved to the built-in personal calendar for future reference.

The Spirit Fit App also allows you to sync your workout data with one of many tness cloud sites we

support: iHealth, MapMyFitness, Record or Fitbit, with more to come.

Syncing the App with your exercise machine:

1. Download the App.

2. Open the App on your device (phone or tablet) and make sure Bluetooth® is enabled on your device

(phone or tablet).

3. In the App click the icon in the top left corner to search for your Spirit equipment (shown right).

4. After the equipment is detected, click Connect. When the App and equipment are synced, the Bluetooth® icon on the

equipment’s console display will light up. You may now start using your new Spirit Fitness product.

5. When you workout is nished, the data is automatically saved and you will be prompted to sync your data with each

available tness cloud site. Please note you will have to download the applicable compatible tness App, such as iHealth,

MapMyFitness, Record, Fitbit, etc, in order for the icon to be active and available.

*Note: Your device will need to be running on a minimum operating system of iOs 7 or Android 4.4 for the Spirit Fit App to operate

properly.

Erratic Operation

Caution! Do not use this elliptical trainer for Heart Rate programs unless a steady, solid Actual Heart

Rate value is being displayed. High, wild, random numbers being displayed

indicate a problem.

Areas to look for interference which may cause erratic heart rate:

1. Microwave ovens, TV’s, small appliances, etc.

2. Fluorescent lights.

3. Some household security systems.

4. Perimeter fence for a pet.

5. Some people have problems with the transmitter picking up a signal from their skin. If you have problems try wearing

the transmitter upside down. Normally the transmitter will be oriented so the Spirit Fitness logo is right side up.

6. The antenna that picks up your heart rate is very sensitive. If there is an outside noise source, turning the whole

machine 90 degrees may de-tune the interference.

7. Another Individual wearing a transmitter within 3’ of your machine’s console.

If you continue to experience problems contact your dealer.

Heart Rate Program Operation

Note: You must wear the heart rate transmitter strap for these programs.

Both programs operate the same, the only difference is that HR1 is set to 60% and HR2 is set to 80%

of the maximum heart rate. They both are programmed the same way.

To start an HRC program follow the instructions below or just select the HR1 or HR2 program, then

the Enter button and follow the directions in the Message Center.

After selecting your heart rate target the program will attempt to keep you at or within 3-5 heart

beats per minute of this value. Follow the prompts in the Message Center to maintain your selected

heart rate value.

1. Press the HR 1 or HR 2 key then press the Enter key.

2. The Message Center will ask you to enter your Age. You may enter your age, using the Level Up/Down keys, then

press the Enter key to accept the new value and proceed on to the next screen.

3. You are now asked to enter your Weight. You may adjust the weight value using the Level Up/Down keys, then press

Enter to continue.

4. Next is Time. You may adjust the time and press Enter to continue.

5. Now you are asked to adjust the Heart Rate Target. This is the heart rate level you will strive to maintain during the

program. Adjust the level using the Level Up/Down keys, then press Enter. Note: The heart rate that appears is based

on the % you accepted in Step 1. If you change this number it will either increase or decrease the % from Step 1.

6. Now you are nished editing the settings and can begin your workout by pressing the Start key. You can also go back

and modify your settings by pressing the Enter key.

7. If you want to increase or decrease the workload at any time during the program press the Level Up/Down key. This

will allow you to change your target heart rate at any time during the program.

8. During the HR 1 or HR 2 programs you will be able to scroll through the data in the Message Center by pressing the

Enter key.

9. When the program ends you may press Start to begin the same program again or Stop to exit the program.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

1. Wipe down all areas in the sweat path with a damp cloth after each workout.

2. If a squeak, thump, clicking or rough feeling develops the main cause is most likely one of several reasons:

I. The hardware was not sufciently tightened during assembly. All bolts that were installed

during assembly need to be tightened as much as possible. It may be necessary to use a larger wrench than the

one provided if you cannot tighten the bolts sufciently. I cannot stress this point enough; 90% of calls to the ser-

vice department for noise issues can be traced to loose hardware.

II. Dirt build-up on the rear rails and polyurethane wheels are also a source of noise. Noise from build-up on the rails

can cause a thumping sound that you would swear is coming from inside the main body of the machine because

noise travels, and is amplied, in the tubing of the frame. Clean the rails and wheels with a lint free cloth and rub-

bing alcohol. Stubborn build-up can be removed with your thumbnail or a nonmetallic scraper, like the back edge of

a plastic knife. After cleaning, apply a small amount of lubricant on the rails with your ngers or a lint free cloth. You

only need a thin coat of lubrication, wipe off any excess.

III. The crank arm nut needs to be retightened

IV. If squeaks or other noises persist, check that the unit is properly leveled. There are 2 leveling pads on the bottom

of the rear stabilizer, use a 14mm wrench (or adjustable wrench) to adjust the levelers.
