IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING ‐ Read all instructions before using this appliance. DANGER ‐ To reduce the risk of electric shock disconnect your SOLE elliptical from the electrical outlet prior to cleaning and/or service work. WARNING ‐ To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, install the elliptical on a flat level surface with access to a 110‐volt, 15‐amp grounded outlet with only the elliptical plugged into the circuit. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD UNLESS IT IS A 14AWG OR BETTER, WITH ONLY ONE OUTLET ON THE END: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISABLE THE GROUNDED PLUG BY USING IMPROPER ADAPTERS, OR IN ANY WAY MODIFY THE CORD SET. A serious shock or fire hazard may result along with computer malfunctions. See Grounding Instructions, page 5. Do not operate elliptical on deeply padded, plush or shag carpet. Damage to both carpet and elliptical may result. Keep children under the age of 13 away from this machine. There are obvious pinch points and other caution areas that can cause harm. Keep hands away from all moving parts. Never operate the elliptical if it has a damaged cord or plug. If the elliptical is not working properly, call your dealer. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces. Do not operate where aerosol spray products are being used or where oxygen is being administered. Sparks from the motor may ignite a highly gaseous environment. Never drop or insert any object into any openings. Do not use outdoors. To disconnect, turn all controls to the off position and then remove the plug from the outlet. Do not attempt to use your elliptical for any purpose other than for the purpose it is intended. ...
IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL INSTRUCTIONS WARNING! NEVER remove any cover without first disconnecting AC power. If voltage varies by ten percent (10%) or more, the performance of your elliptical may be affected. Such conditions are not covered under your warranty. If you suspect the voltage is low, contact your local power company or a licensed electrician for proper testing. NEVER expose this elliptical to rain or moisture. This product is NOT designed for use outdoors, near a pool or spa, or in any other high humidity environment. The operating temperature specification is 40 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and humidity is 95% non‐condensing (no water drops forming on surfaces). GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This product must be grounded. If the elliptical should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current, reducing the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment‐grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. DANGER ‐ Improper connection of the equipment‐grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

ELLIPTICAL FEATURES RAMP INCLINE ADJUSTMENT The E98 has an incline feature that will further increase the variety of your workouts. When the incline is at its lowest position you get a normal elliptical workout. As the incline increases you will feel your knees rise higher with each step; which means you are involving more muscle fibers, due to the increased range of motion. The E98 has a computer controlled power incline. The power incline is controlled by buttons on the console or left swing arm and will automatically adjust via the incline motor during the built‐in workout program. customerservice@dyaco.ca Dyaco Canada Inc. 2016...

The Elliptical has a built in heart rate monitoring system. Simply grasping the Contact Heart Rate Sensors on the stationary handle bars or wearing the chest strap transmitter will start the heart (see Heart Rate Programs) Icon blinking (this may take a few seconds). The Pulse Window will display your heart rate in beats per minute and the HR bar graph will show your current % in relation to projected heart rate maximum. The chest strap is a more accurate and reliable method of heart rate reading. The hand pulse sensors are subject to inaccurate readings depending on user physiology and workout habits including how one grips the sensors or how sweaty their hands are. The Stop button actually has several functions. Pressing the Stop key once during a program will Pause the program for 5 minutes. If you need to get a drink, answer the phone or any of the many things that could interrupt your workout, this is a great feature. To resume your workout during Pause just press the Start key. If the Stop button is pressed twice during a workout the program will end and a Workout Summary is displayed. If the Stop key is held down for 3 seconds the console will perform a complete Reset. During data entry for a program the Stop key performs a Previous Screen function. This allows you to go back one step in the programming each time you press the Stop key. There is an Audio Jack ( ) on the front of the console and built‐in speakers. You may plug any low‐level audio source signal into this port. Audio sources include MP3, iPod, portable radio, CD player or even a TV or computer audio signal. There is also a Headphone Jack ( ) for private listening. PROGRAMMING THE CONSOLE Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to suit your needs. Some of the information asked for is necessary to ensure the readouts are correct. You will be asked for your Age, Weight and Time. Entering your Age is necessary during the Heart Rate control program to ensure the correct settings are entered in the program; entering your Weight aides in calculating a more correct Calorie reading. Although we cannot provide an exact calorie count we do want to be as close as possible. Setting Age,Weight and Time page customerservice@dyaco.ca ...

A message about Calories: Calorie readings on every piece of exercise equipment, whether it is in a gym or at home, are not accurate and tend to vary widely. They are meant only as a guide to monitor your progress from workout to workout. The only way to measure your calorie burn accurately as in a clinical setting connected to a host of machines. This is because every person is different and burns calories at a different rate. ENTERING A PROGRAM AND CHANGING SETTINGS Press each program button to scroll through the program selections. The profile for each program will be displayed in the window. The incline profile will appear if you press the Display key Press the Enter key to select a program and begin customizing the settings. If you want to work out without entering new settings, then just press the Start key. This will bypass the programming of data and take you directly to the start of your workout. If you want to change the personal settings, then just follow the instructions in the Window. If you start a program without changing the settings, the default settings will be used. Note: Age and Weight default settings will change when you enter a new number. So the last Age and Weight entered will be saved as the new default settings. If you enter Age and Weight the first time you use the elliptical you will not have to enter it every time you work out unless either Age or Weight has changed or someone else enters a different Age and Weight. customerservice@dyaco.ca Dyaco Canada Inc. 2016 ...

PRESET PROGRAMS The Elliptical has five different programs that have been designed for a variety of workouts. These five programs have factory preset work level profiles for achieving different goals. Hill The Hill program simulates going up and down a hill. The resistance in the pedals will steadily increase and then decrease during the program. LEVEL INCLINE Fat Burn The Fat Burn program is designed, as the name implies, to maximize the burning of fat. There are many schools of thought on the best way to burn fat but most experts agree that a lower exertion level that stays at a steady workload is the best. The absolute best way to burn fat is to keep your heart rate at around 60% to 70% of its maximum potential. This program does not use heart rate but simulates a lower, steady exertion workout. LEVEL INCLINE Cardio The Cardio program is designed to increase your cardiovascular function and endurance. This is exercise for your heart and lungs. It will build up your heart muscle and increase blood flow and lung capacity. This is achieved by incorporating a higher level of exertion with slight fluctuations in work. LEVEL INCLINE Strength The Strength program is designed to increase muscular strength in your lower body. This program will steadily increase in resistance to a high level and forces you to sustain it. This is designed to strengthen and tone your legs and glutes (muscles of the butt). LEVEL INCLINE ...

HEART RATE PROGRAMS Before we get started, a word about Heart Rate: The old motto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits of exercising comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of heart rate monitors. With the proper use of a heart rate monitor, many people find that their usual choice of exercise intensity was either too high or too low and exercise is much more enjoyable by maintaining their heart rate in the desired benefit range. To determine the benefit range in which you wish to train, you must first determine your Maximum Heart Rate. This can be accomplished by using the following formula: 220 minus your age. This will give you the Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) for someone of your age. To determine the effective heart rate range for specific goals you simply calculate a percentage your MHR. Your Heart rate training zone is 50% to 90% of your maximum heart rate. 60% of your MHR is the zone that burns fat while 80% is for strengthening the cardio vascular system. This 60% to 80% is the zone to stay in for maximum benefit. For someone who is 40 years old their target heart rate zone is calculated: 220 – 40 = 180 (maximum heart rate) 180 x .6 = 108 beats per minute (60% of maximum) 180 X .8 = 144 beats per minute (80% of maximum) So for a 40 year old the training zone would be 108 to 144 beats per minute. If you enter your age during programming the console will perform this calculation automatically. Entering your age is used for the Heart Rate programs. After calculating your MHR you can decide upon which goal you would like to pursue. The two most popular reasons for, or goals, of exercise are cardiovascular fitness (training for the heart and lungs) and weight control. The black columns on the chart above represent the MHR for a person whose age is listed at the bottom of each column. The training heart rate, for either cardiovascular fitness or weight loss, is represented by two different lines that cut diagonally through the chart. A definition of the lines’ goal is in the bottom left‐hand corner of the chart. If your goal is cardiovascular fitness or if it is ...

RATE OF PERCEIVED EXERTION Heart rate is important but listening to your body also has a lot of advantages. There are more variables involved in how hard you should workout than just heart rate. Your stress level, physical health, emotional health, temperature, humidity, the time of day, the last time you ate and what you ate, all contribute to the intensity at which you should workout. If you listen to your body, it will tell you all of these things. The rate of perceived exertion (RPE), also known as the Borg scale, was developed by Swedish physiologist G.A.V. Borg. This scale rates exercise intensity from 6 to 20 depending upon how you feel or the perception of your effort. The scale is as follows: Rating Perception of Effort 6 Minimal 7 Very, very light 8 Very, very light + 9 Very light 10 Very light + 11 Fairly light 12 Comfortable 13 Somewhat hard 14 Somewhat hard + 15 Hard 16 Hard + 17 Very hard 18 Very hard + ...
USING HEART RATE TRANSMITTER How to wear your wireless chest strap transmitter: 1. Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the locking parts. 2. Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too tight to remain comfortable. 3. Position the transmitter with the SOLE logo centered in the middle of your body facing away from your chest (some people must position the transmitter slightly left of center). Attach the final end of the elastic strap by inserting the round end and, using the locking parts, secure the transmitter and strap around your chest. 4. Position the transmitter immediately below the pectoral muscles. 5. Sweat is the best conductor to measure very minute heart beat electrical signals. However, plain water can also be used to pre‐wet the electrodes (2 ribbed oval areas on the reverse side of the belt and both sides of the transmitter). It’s also recommended that you wear the transmitter strap a few minutes before your work out. Some users, because of body chemistry, have a more difficult time in achieving a strong, steady signal at the beginning. After “warming up”, this problem lessens. As noted, wearing clothing over the transmitter/strap doesn’t affect performance. 6. Your workout must be within range ‐ distance between transmitter/receiver – to achieve a strong steady signal. The length of range may vary somewhat but generally stay close enough to the console to maintain good, strong, reliable readings. Wearing the transmitter immediately against bare skin assures you of proper operation. If you wish, you may wear the transmitter over a shirt. To do so, moisten the areas of the shirt that the electrodes will rest upon. Note: The transmitter is automatically activated when it detects activity from the user’s heart. Additionally, it automatically deactivates when it does not receive any activity. Although the transmitter is water resistant, moisture can have the effect of creating false signals, so you should take precautions to completely dry the transmitter after use to prolong battery life (estimated transmitter battery life is 2500 hours). The replacement battery is Panasonic CR2032. ...

GENERAL MAINTENANCE 1. Wipe down all areas in the sweat path with a damp cloth after each workout. 2. If a squeak, thump, clicking or rough feeling develops the main cause is most likely one of two reasons: I. The hardware was not sufficiently tightened during assembly. All bolts that were installed during assembly need to be tightened as much as possible. It may be necessary to use a larger wrench than the one provided if you cannot tighten the bolts sufficiently. I cannot stress this point enough; 90% of calls to the service department for noise issues can be traced to loose hardware or the rear rails being dirty. II. Dirt build‐up on the rear rails and polyurethane wheels are also a source of noise. Noise from build‐up on the rails can cause a thumping sound that you would swear is coming from inside the main body of the machine because noise travels, and is amplified in the tubing of the frame. Clean the rails and wheels with a lint free cloth and rubbing alcohol. Stubborn build‐up can be removed with your thumbnail or a non‐metallic scraper, like the back edge of a plastic knife. After cleaning, apply a small amount of lubricant on the rails with your fingers or a lint free cloth. You only need a thin coat of lubrication, wipe off any excess. 3. If squeaks or other noises persist, check that the unit is properly leveled before calling the service department.
