HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The power cord has a plug with a grounding pin.
DANGER: Improper connection of the power cord increases the risk of electric shock. Do not modify the plug—if it will not fit an outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. If you are unsure whether the product is properly grounded, contact a qualified electrician.
Plug the power cord (A) into an appropriate outlet (B) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. The outlet must be on a nominal 120-volt circuit.
A temporary adapter (C) may be used to connect the power cord to a 2-pole receptacle (D) as shown at the right if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The lug (E) or wire extending from the adapter must be connected with a metal screw (F) to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box covers are not grounded. Before using an adapter, contact a qualified electrician to determine whether the outlet box cover is grounded before using an adapter. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.
HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL
Due to the size and weight of the elliptical, moving it requires two persons. Stand in front of the elliptical, hold the upright (G), and place one foot against one of the wheels (H). Next, pull on the upright and have a second person lift the handle (I) until the elliptical will roll on the wheels. Carefully move the elliptical to the desired location, and then lower it to the floor.
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL
If the elliptical rocks slightly on your floor during use, turn one or both of the leveling feet (J) beneath the rear stabilizer or turn the leveling foot (K) under the center of the frame until the rocking motion is eliminated.
HOW TO ADJUST THE POSITIONS OF THE PEDALS
Each pedal can be adjusted to several positions. To adjust each pedal, simply pull the pedal handle (L) outward, move the pedal to the desired position, and then release the pedal handle into an adjustment hole beneath the pedal. Make sure to adjust both pedals to the same position.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
To mount the elliptical, hold the handlebars (M) or the upper body arms (N) and step onto the pedal (O) that is in the lower position. Then, step onto the other pedal. Push the pedals until they begin to move with a continuous motion. Note: The pedals can turn in either direction. It is recommended that you turn the pedals in the direction shown by the arrow; however, for variety, you can turn the pedals in the opposite direction.
To dismount the elliptical, wait until the pedals (O) come to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical does not have a free wheel; the pedals will continue to move until the flywheel stops. When the pedals are stationary, step off the higher pedal first. Then, step off the lower pedal.
THE OPTIONAL TABLET HOLDER
The optional tablet holder (P) will hold your tablet securely in place and enable you to use your tablet while you exercise. The optional tablet holder is designed for use with most full-size tablets. To purchase a tablet holder, please see the front cover of this manual.

To purchase a chest heart rate monitor, please see the front cover of this manual.
Note: The console is compatible with all Bluetooth Smart heart rate monitors.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance is important for optimal performance and to reduce wear. Inspect and properly tighten all parts each time the elliptical is used. Replace any worn parts immediately.
To clean the elliptical, use a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the console, keep liquids away from the console and keep the console out of direct sunlight.
CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING
If the console does not turn on, make sure that the power cord is fully plugged in and that the power switch is in the reset position. If there are exterior wires on the console, make sure that the connectors on the wires are oriented correctly and are connected firmly.
If the console does not display your heart rate when you hold the handgrip heart rate monitor, or if the displayed heart rate appears to be too high or too low, see step 5 on page 22.
If you are having problems connecting the console to a wireless network or if you are having problems with your iFit account or iFit workouts, go to support.iFit.
If the console does not boot up properly, or if the console freezes and does not respond, reset the console to the factory default settings. IMPORTANT: Doing this will erase all custom settings you have made to the console. Resetting the console requires two people. First, press the power switch and unplug the power cord. Next, locate the small reset opening (A) on the back or the side of the console. Using a bent paper clip, press and hold the reset button inside the opening, and have a second person plug in the power cord and press the power switch. Continue holding the reset button until the console turns on. When the reset operation is complete, the console will turn off and then turn back on. If it does not, press the power switch off and then on again. Once the console turns on, check for firmware updates (see step 5 on page 27). Note: It may take a few minutes for the console to be ready for use.
INCLINE SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING
If the ramp does not move to the correct incline level, see step HOW TO CHANGE CONSOLE SETTINGS on page 27 and calibrate the incline system.
HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH
If the console does not display correct feedback, the reed switch should be adjusted. To adjust the reed switch, first press the power switch to the off position and unplug the power cord.
Next, using a standard screwdriver, carefully pry off the left Disc (71).
Next, locate the Reed Switch (38). Turn the Pulley (19) until a Magnet (43) is aligned with the Reed Switch.
Next, slightly loosen the indicated two M4 x 12mm Self-tapping Screws (50). Slide the Reed Switch (38) slightly closer to or away from the Magnet (43), and then retighten the Self-tapping Screws.
Then, plug in the power cord, press the power switch, and rock the Pulley (19) forward and backward just enough that the Magnet (43) passes the Reed Switch (38) repeatedly. Repeat these actions until the console displays correct feedback.
When the reed switch is correctly adjusted, reattach the left disc, plug in the power cord, and press the power switch.
HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT
If the pedals slip while you are pedaling, even while the resistance is adjusted to the highest level, the drive belt may need to be adjusted. To adjust the drive belt, first press the power switch to the off position and unplug the power cord.
Next, locate the Access Cover (3) on the Right Shield (74). Remove the M4 x 16mm Screw (101) and then remove the Access Cover.
Next, locate and loosen the Idler Screw (89). Tighten the Drive Belt Adjustment Screw (91) until the Drive Belt (113) is tight. Then, retighten the Idler Screw.
Reattach the parts that you removed. Then, plug in the power cord and press the power switch.
