HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER
EXERCISING ON THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER
To mount the elliptical crosstrainer, hold the handlebar
and step onto the pedal that is in the lowest position.
Next, step onto the other pedal. Push the pedals until
they begin to move with a continuous motion. Note:
The pedal disks can turn in either direction. It is
recommended that you move the pedal disks in
the direction shown below; however, to give vari-
ety to your exercise, you may choose to turn the
pedal disks in the opposite direction.
To dismount the elliptical crosstrainer, wait until the
pedals come to a complete stop. CAUTION: The
elliptical crosstrainer does not have a freewheel;
the pedals will continue to move until the flywheel
stops. When the pedals are stationary, step off the
highest pedal first. Then, step off the lowest pedal.
HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE
To adjust the
intensity of
your exercise,
the resistance
of the pedals
can be adjust-
ed. To increase
the resistance,
turn the resis-
tance control
clockwise; to
decrease the
resistance, turn
the control
counterclockwise.
INCLINE ADJUSTMENT
The incline frame can be raised or lowered to vary the
intensity of your exercise. To raise the incline frame,
lift the end of the incline frame until the crossbar is on
top of the incline bracket. Make sure that the incline
frame is resting securely on top of the incline
bracket. To lower the incline frame, first lift the incline
frame slightly. Next, push the incline bracket toward
the upright and lower the incline frame onto the stabi-
lizer.
USING THE UPPER BODY ARMS
The upper body arms are designed to give you a total
body workout. As you exercise, hold the upper body
arms and move your arms forward and back in order
to work your arms, back, and shoulders.
If you want to exercise only your lower body, hold the
handlebar as you exercise.
