9. Apply a small amount of grease to the axle on the left
Crank Arm (6).
Side a Plastic Pedal Spacer (92) and the Left Pedal
Arm (3) onto the axle on the left Crank Arm (6). Note: It
may be helpful to use a rubber mallet to tap these parts
on. Be careful not to confuse the Left Pedal Arm
with the Right Pedal Arm (not shown); look at the
position of the round tube to identify the Left Pedal
Arm. Next, tap a 3/4" Axle Cap (61) onto the axle.
Attach the Right Pedal Arm (not shown) in the same way.
10. Apply grease to the welded bolt on the Left Pedal Arm
(3). Slide a Chrome Tube (21) and a Chrome Tube
Washer (84) onto the welded bolt. Make sure that the
Chrome Tube is turned exactly as shown in the
inset drawing. Then, tighten an M10 Nylon Locknut
(26) onto the welded bolt.
Attach the other Chrome Tube (not shown) to the Right
Pedal Arm (4) in the same way.
Apply a small amount of the included Teflon
®
lubricant
to a paper towel. Rub a thin film of the Lubricant onto
both Chrome Tubes (21).
11. Slide the Left Upper Body Arm (7), which is marked
with an "L" sticker, onto the Chrome Tube (21) on the
Left Pedal Arm (3). Slide the Right Upper Body Arm
(75) onto the Chrome Tube on the Right Pedal Arm (4).
Make sure that the Upper Body Arms are on the
correct sides—the upper ends should bend in the
direction shown by the arrows. Next, slide an Axle
Cover (74) onto the post on each Upper Body Arm.
Apply grease to the Arm Axle (19). Insert the Arm Axle
into the Right Upper Body Arm (75) and the right Pivot
Cover (74). Next, insert the Arm Axle into the Upright
(2) until the left end of the Axle is flush with the left side
of the Upright. Then, insert the Arm Axle into the left
Axle Cover (74) and the Left Upper Body Arm (7).
Center the Arm Axle.
Using the included pedal tool, tap two Push Nuts (15)
about 1/8" onto each end of the Arm Axle (19). Make
sure that the Push Nuts are turned as shown in the
inset drawing. Note: It may be helpful if another person
holds a block of wood against one end of the Arm Axle
while you tap Push Nuts onto the other end.
Press an Axle Cap (34) onto each end of the Arm Axle
(19).
12. Make sure that all parts of the elliptical crosstrainer are properly tightened. Note: Some hardware
may be left over after assembly is completed. To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat
under the elliptical crosstrainer.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER

EXERCISING ON THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER
To mount the elliptical crosstrainer, hold the handlebar
and step onto the pedal that is in the lowest position.
Next, step onto the other pedal. Push the pedals until
they begin to move with a continuous motion. Note:
The pedal disks can turn in either direction. It is
recommended that you move the pedal disks in
the direction shown by the arrow below; however,
to give variety to your exercise, you may turn the
pedal disks in the opposite direction.

To dismount the elliptical crosstrainer, wait until the
pedals come to a complete stop. CAUTION: The
elliptical crosstrainer does not have a freewheel;
the pedals will continue to move until the flywheel
stops. When the pedals are stationary, step off the
highest pedal first. Then, step off the lowest pedal.
HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE
To adjust the
4
resistance of the
pedals as you
exercise, turn the
resistance dial on
the console. Turn
the dial clockwise
to increase the
resistance or
counterclockwise
to decrease the resistance.
INCLINE ADJUSTMENT
The intensity of your exercise can be further adjusted
by raising or lowering the incline frame. To raise the
incline frame, position the pedal arms side by side as
shown. Lift the end of the incline frame until the cross-
bar is on top of the incline bracket. Make sure that
the crossbar is resting securely on top of the
incline bracket. To lower the incline frame, lift the
incline frame slightly, push the incline bracket toward
the upright, and then lower the incline frame onto the
stabilizer.

exercise to your
workouts. As you
exercise, hold the
upper body arms
and move your
arms forward and
back in order to
work your arms,
back, and shoul-
ders.

To exercise only your lower body, hold the handlebar
as you exercise.
