Step Onto Your Machine
1. Steady yourself with the Handlebars or the hand grips under the Console.
2. The Pedals may not be at the same resting level. Step onto the lower Pedal with your first step.
3. Place your other foot on the opposite Pedal. Be sure to get comfortable with the Pedals before beginning
a workout.
Workout Stride
The Elliptical lets you do a forward or backward workout stride. You can even change the direction during a workout. To change
your stride, slow the Pedals until they stop and change direction.
The Console provides important information about your workout and lets you control the resistance levels while you exercise. The
Console has a grid display with touch control buttons to navigate you through the exercise programs.
Power-Up Mode
The Console will enter POWER-UP mode if it is plugged into a power source, any button is pushed, or if it receives an indication
from the RPM sensor as a result of pedaling the machine.
