    HE AR T R AT E HANDLEBARS Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars for your heart rate to register. It takes 5 consecutive heart beats (15-20 seconds) for your heart rate to register. When gripping the pulse handlebars, do not grip tightly.

  • Page 21: Perceived Exertion Level

    PERCEIVED ExERTION LEVEL A simple way to gauge your exercise intensity is to evaluate your perceived exertion level. While exercising, if you are too winded to maintain a conversation without gasping, you are working out too hard. A good rule of thumb is to work to the point of exhilaration, not exhaustion.

Stretching prior to exercise will improve flexibility and reduce chances of exercise related injury. Ease into each of these stretches with a slow gentle motion.

    • The outlet the machine is plugged into is functional. Double check that the breaker has not tripped. • The correct adapter is being used. Only use the adapter provided or authorized by Merit Fitness. • The adapter is not pinched or damaged and is properly plugged into the outlet AND the machine.
  • Page 27 • Does the problem occur when using the handlebars? Without using the handlebars? Answering these and other questions will give the technicians the ability to send proper replacement parts and the service necessary to get you and your Merit Fitness elliptical running again!
  • Page 28 CO MM O N PR OD UCT Q U E S T I O NS ARE THE SOUNDS MY ELLIPTICAL MAKES NORMAL? Our ellipticals are some of the quietest available because they use belt drives and friction free magnetic resistance. We use the highest grade bearings and belts to minimize noise. However, because the resistance system itself is so quiet, you will occasionally hear other slight mechanical noises.
  • Page 29 Clean with soap and water cleaners only. Never use solvents on plastic parts. Cleanliness of your elliptical and its operating environment will keep maintenance problems and service calls to a minimum. For this reason, Merit Fitness recommends that the following preventive maintenance schedule be followed.
