HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
This product
must be
grounded.
If it should

Grounded Outlet
resistance for
electric
current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. Plug the power
cord into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances. This product is for
use on a nominal 120-volt circuit. Important: The
elliptical exerciser is not compatible with GFCI-
equipped outlets.
DANGER:
the equipment-grounding conductor can result
in an increased risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified 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 fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qual-
ified electrician.
A temporary
adapter may
be used to
connect the
power cord
to a 2-pole
receptacle
as shown at
the right if a
properly
grounded
outlet is not
available. The temporary adapter should be used only
until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified 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. Some 2-pole receptacle out-
let box covers are not grounded. Contact a quali-
fied electrician to determine if the outlet box cover
is grounded before using an adapter.
HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDALS
The motion of
the pedals is
determined by
their positions
on the flex
bars. There
are five posi-
tions. To
adjust each
pedal, first
loosen the
knob beneath
the pedal. Next, push the bolt upward, slide the pedal
forward or backward to the desired position, and then
retighten the knob. Make sure that both pedals are in
the same position.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
EXERCISER
To mount the
elliptical exer-
ciser, hold the
center handle-
bar and step
onto the pedal
that is in the
lowest posi-
tion. Then,
step onto the other pedal. Push the pedals until they
begin to move with a continuous motion. Note: The
crank arms (inside of the side shields) can be
turned in either direction. It is recommended that
you turn the crank arms in the same direction that
you pedal a bicycle; however, for variety, you can
turn the crank arms in the opposite direction.
To dismount the elliptical exerciser, wait until the ped-
als come to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical
exerciser does not have a free wheel; 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.
