HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
To mount the elliptical, hold the handlebars or the 
upper body arms and step onto the pedal that is in the 
lower position. Then, step onto the other pedal. Push 
the pedals until they begin to move with a continuous 
motion. Note: The pedals can turn in either direc-
tion. It is recommended that you turn the pedals 
in the direction shown by the arrow; however, for 
variety, you can turn the pedals in the opposite 
direction.
To dismount the elliptical, wait until the pedals come to 
a complete stop. Note: The elliptical does not have 
a free wheel; the pedals will continue to move until 
the flywheel stops. When the pedals are stationary, 
step off the higher pedal first. Then, step off the lower 
pedal.
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL
If the elliptical 
rocks slightly on 
your floor dur-
ing use, turn 
one or both of 
the leveling feet 
beneath the rear 
stabilizer until the 
rocking motion is 
eliminated.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers an array of features 
designed to make your workouts more effective and 
enjoyable. 
The console features revolutionary iFit technology that 
enables the console to communicate with your wireless 
network. With iFit technology, you can download per-
sonalized workouts, create your own workouts, track 
your workout results, and access many other features. 
See www.iFit.com for complete information.
In addition, the console features a selection of onboard 
workouts. Each onboard workout automatically 
changes the resistance of the pedals and the incline of 
the ramp and prompts you to vary your pedaling speed 
as it guides you through an effective workout. You can 
also set a time, distance, or calorie goal.
When you use the manual mode of the console, you 
can change the resistance of the pedals and the incline 
of the ramp with the touch of a button. 
While you exercise, the console will display continuous 
exercise feedback. You can also measure your heart 
rate using the handgrip heart rate monitor or the chest 
heart rate monitor. 
You can also listen to your favorite workout music or 
audio books with the console sound system while you 
exercise.

of the workout. A profile of the speed settings of the 
workout will appear in the matrix. 
  The display will also show the maximum pedaling 
speed (rpm), the maximum resistance level, and 
the maximum ramp level.
 3.   Begin pedaling to start the workout.
  Each workout is divided into segments. One resis-
tance level, one ramp incline level, and one target 
rpm (speed) are programmed for each segment. 
Note: The same resistance level, ramp incline 
level, and/or target rpm may be programmed for 
consecutive segments. 
  The resistance level, the ramp incline level, and the 
target rpm for the first segment will appear in the 
matrix. 
  During the 
workout, 
the pro-
files on 
the speed 
and incline 
tabs will 
show your 
progress. 
The flashing segment of the profile represents the 
current segment of the workout. The height of the 
flashing segment indicates the target speed or the 
incline level for the current segment. 
  As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep your 
pedaling speed near the target rpm for the cur-
rent segment. When an upward-pointing arrow 
appears in the display, increase your pace. When 
a downward-pointing arrow appears, decrease 
your pace. When no arrow appears, maintain 
your current pace. 
  IMPORTANT: The target rpm is intended only to 
provide motivation. Your actual pedaling speed 
may be slower than the target rpm. Make sure 
to pedal at a speed that is comfortable for you. 
  If the resistance level or incline level for the current 
segment is too high or too low, you can manually 
override the setting by pressing the Resistance 
buttons or the Quick Ramp buttons. IMPORTANT:
