3 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR ELLIPTICAL 3.1 E-40 ELLIPTICAL Safety Tip: When getting onto the elliptical, rotate the pedal on the side you are standing to its lowest point and hold that side’s swinging arm for stability with one arm while stepping up onto the pedals and reaching out for the other swing arm with the opposite hand.
3.2 E-40 CONSOLE The E-40 elliptical features a battery powered LCD display with an animation center surrounded by information windows showing the parameters of the exercise under way. 3.3 E-40 CONSOLE BUTTONS / FEATURES Note: The console will enter into a SLEEP mode (for power-saving purposes) after 4 minutes of receiving no RPM or Heart Rate signal input.
If you feel faint or dizzy, stop exercising immediately. Your Bodyguard Fitness E-40 elliptical can display your heart rate (pulse) if you grip the contact heart rate sensors while pedaling. When the equipment detects your heart rate a small heart begins to flash on the display and after a short period of time if the reading is consistent a value will appear.
When setting up your workout, you may input a Maximum Heart Rate into the Pulse parameter and the console will beep when you exceed it warning you that you are over-training. 3.7 HEART RATE RECOVERY TEST The Heart Rate Recovery Test is a protocol that tests the heart’s ability to recover from exercise, which is a key component of heart health and general fitness.
The E-40 elliptical is fitted with a manual resistance knob that the user turns clockwise to increase resistance (simulates hill-climbing) or anti-clockwise to decrease resistance at any time.

The goal of each program is for the USER (left animation) to have completed at least 60% of the PC’s work (right animation) when the 20 minutes is up. When an animation is moving up the screen and getting smaller it indicates that it is in front of the other animation. The higher and smaller it gets, the further in front it is.
