HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER

EXERCISING ON THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER
To mount the elliptical crosstrainer, hold the handlebar
and 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 disks can turn in either direction. It is
recommended that you move the pedal disks in
the direction shown by the arrow below; however,
to give variety to your exercise, you may turn the
pedal disks in the opposite direction.

To dismount the elliptical crosstrainer, wait until the
pedals come to a complete stop. The elliptical
crosstrainer does not have a freewheel; the ped-
als 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
To adjust the
resistance of the
pedals as you
exercise, turn the
resistance dial on
the console. Turn
the dial clockwise
to increase the
resistance or
counterclockwise
to decrease the resistance.

INCLINE ADJUSTMENT
The intensity of your exercise can be further adjusted
by raising or lowering the incline frame. To raise the
incline frame, position the pedal arms side by side as
shown. Lift the end of the incline frame until the cross-
bar is on top of the incline bracket. Make sure that
the crossbar is resting securely on top of the
incline bracket. To lower the incline frame, lift the
incline frame slightly, push the incline bracket toward
the upright, and then lower the incline frame onto the
stabilizer.

HOW TO USE THE UPPER BODY ARMS
The upper body
arms are designed
to add upper-body
exercise to your
workouts. As you
exercise, hold the
upper body arms
and move your
arms forward and
back in order to
work your arms,
back, and shoul-
ders.
To exercise only your lower body, hold the handlebar
as you exercise.
