MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical exerciser
regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
To clean the elliptical exerciser, use a damp cloth and
a small amount of mild soap. Important: Keep liq-
uids away from the console, place only a sealed
water bottle in the water bottle holder, and keep
the console out of direct sunlight. During storage,
remove the batteries from the console.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the console display becomes dim, the batteries
should be replaced; most console problems are the
result of low batteries. To replace the batteries, see
assembly step 3 on page 5.
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, you must remove the Left Pedal Arm (11) and
