    I nspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical regularly. 
    Replace any worn parts immediately. 
    To clean the elliptical, use a damp cloth and a small 
    amount of mild soap. IMPORTANT: To avoid damage 
    to the console, keep liquids away from the console 
    and keep the console out of direct sunlight.
    CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING
    If the console does not display your heart rate when 
    you hold the handgrip heart rate monitor, or if the dis-
    played heart rate appears to be too high or too low, see 
    step 5 on page 19. 
    HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL
    If the elliptical rocks slightly on your floor during use, 
    see HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL on page 15.
    HOW TO GREASE THE ROLLERS
    See the EXPLODED DRAWING near the end of this 
    manual. If the Rollers (51) squeak when moving on 
    the Tracks (16), apply a small amount of white marine 
    grease equally to each Roller. Spread the grease 
    evenly around the Rollers. Pedal the elliptical until a 
    thin  lm of grease is distributed along the Tracks; then, 
    wipe off any excess grease.
    HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH
    If the console does not display correct feedback, the 
    reed switch should be adjusted. 
    See EXPLODED DRAWING C on page 31. Using a 
    flat screwdriver, remove the left Disc (71).
    Note: For clarity, the left shield is shown removed in the 
    drawing below.
    Next, locate the Reed Switch (38). Turn the Pulley (19) 
    until a Magnet (43) is aligned with the Reed Switch. 
    Loosen, but do not remove, the indicated M4 x 16mm 
    Screw (101). Slide the Reed Switch (38) slightly closer 
    to or away from the Magnet (43), and then retighten 
    the Screw. Then, rock the Pulley (19) forward and 
    backward just enough that the Magnet passes the 
    Reed Switch repeatedly. 
    Repeat these actions until the console displays correct 
    feedback. When the reed switch is correctly adjusted, 
    reattach the left disc.

    HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT
    If the pedals slip while you are pedaling, even while 
    the resistance is adjusted to the highest level, the drive 
    belt may need to be adjusted. 
    To adjust the drive belt, first see assembly step 16 on 
    page 13. Use a flat screwdriver to remove the Shield 
    Cover (75) and the Shield Cover Cap (118).
    Next, see assembly step 15 on page 13 and remove 
    the Right Upper Body Leg Outer and Inner Covers (69, 
    83).
    Then, see assembly step 12 on page 11 and remove 
    the Right Pedal Arm (58) from the Right Upper Body 
    Leg (60).
    See EXPLODED DRAWING C on page 31 and 
    EXPLODED DRAWING A on page 29. Remove the 
    Right Roller Arm (59) from the right Crank Arm (20). 
    Then, carefully remove the Right Roller Arm assembly 
    from the elliptical.
    See EXPLODED DRAWING C on page 31. Remove 
    the M4 x 19mm Screws (5) and the M4 x 48mm Screw 
    (107) from the Left and Right Shields (73, 74). Then, 
    remove the Right Shield.
    Locate and loosen the Idler Screw (89). Next, tighten 
    the Belt Adjustment Screw (91) until the Drive Belt 
    (113) is tight. Then, retighten the Idler Screw.

    EXERCISE GUIDELINES
     
    These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise 
    program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a 
    reputable book or consult your physician. Remember, 
    proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for 
    successful results. 
    EXERCISE INTENSITY
    Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your 
    cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper inten-
    sity is the key to achieving results. You can use your 
    heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level. 
    The chart below shows recommended heart rates for 
    fat burning and aerobic exercise.
    To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the 
    bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the near-
    est ten years). The three numbers listed above your 
    age define your ctraining zone.d The lowest number is 
    the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the 
    heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest 
    number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.
    Burning FateTo burn fat effectively, you must exer-
    cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of 
    time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your 
    body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after 
    the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin 
    to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to 
    burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your 
    heart rate is near the lowest number in your training 
    zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your 
    heart rate near the middle number in your training 
    zone.
    Aerobic ExerciseeIf your goal is to strengthen your 
    cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic 
    exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts 
    of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic 
    exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your 
    heart rate is near the highest number in your training 
    zone. 
    WORKOUT GUIDELINES
    Warming UpeStart with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-
    ing and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body 
    temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation 
    for exercise. 
    Training Zone ExerciseeExercise for 20 to 30 min-
    utes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During 
    the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not 
    keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer 
    than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you 
    exerciseenever hold your breath. 
    Cooling DowneFinish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-
    ing. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles 
    and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.
    EXERCISE FREQUENCY
    To maintain or improve your condition, complete three 
    workouts each week, with at least one day of rest 
    between workouts. After a few months of regular exer-
    cise, you may complete up to five workouts each week, 
    if desired. Remember, the key to success is to make 
    exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday 
    life.
        WARNING: Before beginning this 
    or any exercise program, consult your physi-
    cian. This is especially important for persons 
    over age 35 or persons with pre-existing 
    health problems.
    The heart rate monitor is not a medical device. 
    Various factors may affect the accuracy of 
    heart rate readings. The heart rate monitor is 
    intended only as an exercise aid in determin-
    ing heart rate trends in general.
