For a MOTOR ERROR on the Keys Fitness CG1, check the following:
1. Ensure the brake motor is moving to its target position within 2 seconds. 2. Confirm the brake motor responds when the unit is powered on. 3. If the error appears, unplug and plug the unit back in to clear the message. 4. If the motor continues to fail or makes loud noise, try reversing the resistance. If that fails, the motor may need replacement.

Monitoring Your Heart Rate Monitoring Your Heart Rate To obtain the greatest cardiovascular benefits from your exercise workout, it is important to work within your target heart rate zone. The American Heart Association (AHA) defines this target as 60%-75% percent of your maximum heart rate. Your maximum heart rate may be roughly calculated by subtracting your age from 220.
Warm Up Exercises EXERCISE GUIDELINES WARNING! Before beginning this or any exercise program, you should consult your physician. This is especially important for individuals over the age of 35 or individuals with pre-existing health problems. Warming up prepares the body for the exercise by increasing circulation, supplying more oxy- gen to the muscles and raising body temperature.
CLEANING/MAINTENANCE - Your CG1 Elliptical has been manufactured to withstand many hours of use with minimal maintenance. Periodically wipe down your machine with mild, soapy water or a diluted general purpose household cleaner. Machine should be wiped down to remove sweat after each use.
