IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING - Read all instructions before using this appliance. DANGER - To reduce the risk of electric shock disconnect your SOLE elliptical from the electrical outlet prior to cleaning and/or service work. WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, install the elliptical on a flat level surface with access to a 110-volt, 15-amp grounded outlet with only the elliptical plugged into the circuit.
IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL INSTRUCTIONS WARNING! NEVER remove any cover without first disconnecting AC power. If voltage varies by ten percent (10%) or more, the performance of your elliptical may be affected. Such conditions are not covered under your warranty. If you suspect the voltage is low, contact your local power company or a licensed electrician for proper testing.
IMPORTANT OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS NEVER operate this elliptical without reading and completely understanding the results of any operational change you request from the computer. Understand that changes in resistance and incline do not occur immediately. Set your de- sired resistance on the computer console and release the adjustment key. The computer will obey the command gradually.

PROGRAMMING THE CONSOLE Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to suit your needs. Some of the information asked for is necessary to ensure the readouts are correct. You will be asked for your Age and Weight.
PROGRAMMABLE FEATURES MANUAL PROGRAM The Manual program works as the name implies, manually. This means that you control the workload yourself and not the computer. 1. Press the Manual program button then press the Enter key. 2. The Message window will ask you to enter your Age. You may adjust the age setting using the Incline or Resistance Up and Down keys, then press the Enter key to accept the new number and proceed on to the next screen.
PRESET PROGRAMS The Elliptical has five different programs that have been designed for a variety of workouts. These five programs have factory preset work level profiles for achieving different goals. Hill The Hill program simulates going up and down a hill. The resistance in the pedals will steadily increase and then decrease during the program.
PROGRAMMING PRESET BUTTONS Press the desired program button then press the Enter key. The message window will ask you to enter your Age.

FITNESS TEST PROGRAM The fitness test will assess your fitness level and give a score at the end of the test. This score is not a Vo2 max number, but just a number to use as a reference. You can take the test every month and the score should be higher as your level of fitness improves.

HEART RATE PROGRAMS Before we get started, a word about Heart Rate: The old motto, “no pain, no gain” , is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits of exercising comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of heart rate monitors. With the proper use of a heart rate monitor, many people find that their usual choice of exercise intensity was either too high or too low and exercise is much more enjoyable by maintaining their heart rate in the desired benefit range.
Page 22
RATE OF PERCEIVED EXERTION Heart rate is important but listening to your body also has a lot of advantages. There are more variables involved in how hard you should workout than just heart rate. Your stress level, physical health, emotional health, temperature, humidity, the time of day, the last time you ate and what you ate, all contribute to the intensity at which you should workout.
USING HEART RATE TRANSMITTER (Optional) How to wear your wireless chest strap transmitter: 1. Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the locking parts. 2. Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too tight to remain comfortable.
Page 24
HEART RATE CONTROL PROGRAM OPERATION Both programs operate the same, the only difference is that HR1 is set to 60% and HR2 is set to 80% of the maximum heart rate. They both are programmed the same way. To start an HR program follow the instructions below or just select the HR1 or HR2 program, then the Enter button and follow the directions in the message window.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE 1. Wipe down all areas in the sweat path with a damp cloth after each workout. 2. If a squeak, thump, clicking or rough feeling develops the main cause is most likely one of two reasons: The hardware was not sufficiently tightened during assembly. All bolts that were installed during assembly need to be tightened as much as possible.
