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 and lift the handle (G) 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 EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
To mount the elliptical, hold the handlebars (H) and step onto the pedal (I) 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 (I) come to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical does not have a freewheel; 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.
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 front of the base until the rocking motion is eliminated.
THE OPTIONAL TABLET HOLDER
The optional tablet holder (K) 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.
HOW TO USE THE CONSOLE
FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

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 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 24).
Note: It may take a few minutes for the console to be ready for use.
INCLINE SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING
If the frame does not adjust to the selected incline level, see HOW TO CHANGE CONSOLE SETTINGS on page 24 and calibrate the incline system.
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 and unplug the power cord.
Next, remove the M4 x 16mm Screw (143) and the Access Cover (110) from the Right Inner Shield (101). Then, tighten the M10 Locknut (133) until the Drive Belt A (61) is tight.
When you have properly adjusted the Drive Belt A (61), reattach the Access Cover (110) and plug in the power cord.
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 and unplug the power cord.
Next, use a standard screwdriver and pry the Shield Disc (97) off the Left Outer Shield (98).
See the drawing at the right. Locate the Reed Switch (55). Turn the Right Inner Disc (107) until a Magnet (113) is aligned with the Reed Switch.
Then, slightly loosen the two M4 x 25mm Screws (153) and slide the Reed Switch (55) slightly closer to or away from the Magnet (113).
Plug in the power cord, press the power switch, and rock the Right Inner Disc (107) forward and backward so that the Magnet (113) passes the Reed Switch (55) repeatedly. Repeat these actions until the console displays correct feedback.
When the reed switch is correctly adjusted, retighten the two M4 x 25mm Screws (153), reattach the Shield Disc (97), and plug in the power cord.
EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WARNING:
Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons over age 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.
These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a reputable book or consult your physician. Remember, proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for successful results.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper intensity is the key to achieving results. You can use your heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level. The chart below shows recommended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise.
To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). The three numbers listed above your age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest number in your training zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your heart rate near the middle number in your training zone.
Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the highest number in your training zone.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE
To measure your heart rate, exercise for at least four minutes.
Then, stop exercising and place two fingers on your wrist as shown. Take a six-second heartbeat count, and multiply the result by 10 to find your heart rate. For example, if your six-second heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate is 140 beats per minute.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.
Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise; never hold your breath.
Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest between workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
