AARREE TTHHEE SSOOUUNNDDSS MMYY EELLLLIIPPTTIICCAALL MMAAKKEESS NNOORRMMAALL??
Our ellipticals are some of the quietest available because they use belt drives and friction free mag-
netic resistance. We use the highest grade bearings and belts to minimize noise. However, because
the resistance system itself is so quiet, you will occasionally hear other slight mechanical noises.
Unlike older, louder technologies, there are no fans, friction belts, or alternator noises to mask these
sounds on our ellipticals. These mechanical noises, which may or may not be intermittent, are normal
and are caused by the transfer of significant amounts of energy to a rapidly spinning flywheel. All
bearings, belts and other rotating parts will generate some noise which will transmit through the cas-
ing and frame. It is also normal for these sounds to change slightly during a workout and over time
because of thermal expansion of the parts.

All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is generally more back-
ground noise than in your home. Also, there will be less reverberation on a carpeted concrete floor
than on a wood overlay floor. Sometimes a heavy rubber mat will help reduce reverberation through
the floor. If a fitness product is placed close to a wall, there will be more reflected noise.

The computer modeling we have done indicated virtually thousands of maintenance free hours. Belts
are now commonly used in far more demanding applications such as motorcycle drives.

Your elliptical has a pair of transport wheels built into the front legs. It is easy to move your elliptical
by rolling it on the front transport wheels. It is important that you place your elliptical in a comfort-
able and inviting room. Your elliptical is designed to use minimal floor space. Many people will place
their ellipticals facing the TV or a picture window. If at all possible, avoid putting your elliptical in a
unfinished basement. To make exercise a desirable daily activity for you, the elliptical should be in a
comfortable setting.

Your elliptical allows you to pedal both forward and backwards to exercise and strengthen a wider
range of muscles.
