HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
EXERCISER
To mount the elliptical exerciser, firmly hold the han-
dlebars and carefully 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 discs can turn in either
direction. It is recommended that you turn the
pedal discs in the direction shown below; howev-
er, to give variety to your exercise, you may
choose to turn the pedal discs in the opposite
direction.
Pedal
To dismount the elliptical exerciser, allow the pedals
to come to a complete stop. CAUTION: 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.
HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE OF THE
PEDALS
As you exercise,
you can adjust
the resistance of
the pedals with
the resistance
knob on the
Resistance
console. To
increase the
resistance,
turn the knob
clockwise; to
decrease the resistance, turn the knob counterclock-
wise. Important: The knob may not stop turning
when maximum or minimum resistance is reached.
When the knob becomes more difficult to turn,
stop turning it or damage will result.
