CONSOLE
1. Connect the cords from the front frame tube to the
corresponding console connectors.
2 . Push the console onto its place at the end of the
console support tube. Fasten the console with two
fastening screws ( J
POWER CORD
Plug the socket end of the transformer cord into the
connector, just above the rear support in the centre of
the frame, and the other end into the wall socket. To
prevent damage to the cord, we recommend you tie it to
the protector next to the connector.
NOTE!
•
The device must be connected to a grounded wall
socket. Do not use extension wires when connecting the
device to the power source.
•
Make sure the power cord does not run underneath
the device.
DANGER: Always switch off the power and uplug this
appliance from the electrical outlet immediately after
using.

electric shock, or injury to persons.
ADJUSTING THE FOOTREST SUPPORTS
(EUROPEAN MODEL)
Turn the locking knob counterclockwise several turns
and pull the locking knob out so that the adjusting tube
can be moved freely up and down. When the height
is right, let go of the knob. The tube locks into place.
Tighten the locking knob clockwise.
NOTE! Always make sure that the locking knob is
fastened properly before starting to exercise. Adjust the
footrest support height so that the elliptic movement
does not strain your ankles.

EXERCISING

Working out using an elliptical trainer is excellent
aerobic exercise, the principle being that the exercise
should be suitably light, but of long duration. Aerobic
exercise is based on improving the body 's maximum
oxygen uptake, which in turn improves endurance and
fi tness. The ability of the body to burn fat as a fuel
is directly dependent on its oxygen-uptake capacity.
Aerobic exercise should above all be pleasant. You
should perspire, but you should not get out of breath
during the workout. You must, for example, be able to
speak and not just pant while pedaling.
You should exercise at least three times a week, 30
minutes at a time, to reach a basic fi tness level.
Maintaining this level requires a few exercise sessions
each week. Once the basic condition has been reached,
it is easily improved simply by increasing the number of
exercise sessions. Exercise is always rewarding for weight
loss, because it is the only way of increasing the energy
spent by the body. This is why it is always worthwhile
to combine regular exercise with a healthy diet. A dieter
should exercise daily, at fi rst 30 minutes or less at a
time, gradually increasing the daily workout time to one
hour.
You should start slowly at a low pedaling speed and low
resistance, because for an overweight person strenuous
exercise may subject the heart and circulatory system
to excessive strain. As fitness improves, resistance and
pedaling speed can be increased gradually. Exercise
efficiency can be measured by monitoring the pulse.
The pulse meter helps you monitor your pulse easily
during exercise, and thus to ensure that the exercise is
sufficiently effective but not over-strenuous. Start your
workout with slow tempo and low resistance. Gradually
increase tempo and resistance according to your own
condition. Keep your head up and neck long in order to
avoid stress on your neck, shoulders and back. Keep also
your back straight. Make sure that your feet are centered
on the foot pedals and that your hips, knees, ankles
and toes are facing forward. Keep your body weight
centered over your lower body regardless of whether you
lean forward or stand upright. Stop your workout by
gradually decreasing tempo and resistance.
