on the frame of the elliptical.
 Note: To plug the Power Adapter (119) into an 
outlet, see HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER 
ADAPTER on page 16.
20. Make sure that all parts are properly tightened before you use the elliptical. Extra parts may be included. 
Place a mat beneath the elliptical to protect the floor. 
						

							16
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER ADAPTER
IMPORTANT: If the elliptical has been exposed to 
cold temperatures, allow it to warm to room tem-
perature before you plug in the power adapter. If 
you do not do this, you may damage the console 
displays or other electronic components.
Plug the power 
adapter into the recep-
tacle on the frame of 
the elliptical. Insert 
the appropriate plug 
adapter into the power 
adapter if necessary. 
Then, plug the power 
adapter into an appro-
priate outlet that is 
properly installed in 
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL
Due to the size and weight of the elliptical, moving 
it requires two persons. Stand in front of the elliptical, 
hold the upright, and place one foot against one of the 
wheels. Pull on the upright and have a second person 
lift the handle until the elliptical will roll on the wheels. 
Carefully move the elliptical to the desired location, and 
then lower it to the floor.
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL
If the elliptical rocks 
slightly on your 
floor during use, 
turn one or both 
of the leveling feet 
beneath the rear of 
the frame until the 
rocking motion is 
eliminated.
HOW TO USE THE TABLET HOLDER
IMPORTANT: The tablet holder is designed for use 
with most full-size tablets. Do not place any other 
electronic device or object into the tablet holder.
To insert a tablet into 
the tablet holder, set 
the bottom edge of the 
tablet in the tray. Make 
sure that the tablet 
is firmly secured in 
the tablet holder. 
Reverse these actions 
to remove the tablet 
from the tablet holder.

HOW TO CHANGE THE INCLINE OF THE RAMP
To vary the motion of the pedals, you can change the 
incline of the ramp. To raise the ramp, simply pull the 
ramp handle upward to the desired incline level. 
To lower the ramp, press the latch button, pull the ramp 
handle, and lower the ramp to the desired incline level. 
Then, release the latch button and engage the latch 
pin into one of the adjustment holes in the frame. Make 
sure that the latch pin is firmly engaged in one of 
the adjustment holes in the frame.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
See the drawing at the right. 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 direction. 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.

The advanced console offers an array of features 
designed to make your workouts more effective and 
enjoyable. 
When you use the manual mode, you can change the 
resistance of the pedals with the touch of a button. 
While you exercise, the console will display continu-
ous exercise feedback. You can also measure your 
heart rate using the handgrip heart rate monitor or 
a compatible heart rate monitor. See page 22 for 
information about purchasing an optional chest 
heart rate monitor.
You can also connect your smart device to the console 
and use an iFit® app to record and track your workout 
information.
The console also offers a selection of onboard 
workouts. Each workout automatically changes the 
resistance of the pedals as it guides you through an 
effective workout. 
You can even connect your personal audio player to 
the console sound system and listen to your favorite 
music or audio books while you exercise. 
You can also use the charging port on the console 
to charge your USB-compatible device while you 
exercise.
To use the manual mode, see page 19. To use an 
onboard workout, see page 21. 
To use the sound system, see page 22. To use 
the charging port, see page 22. To connect your 
smart device to the console, see page 23. To  
connect your heart rate monitor to the console, 
see page 23. To change console settings, see 
page 24. 
Note: If there is a sheet of plastic on the display, 
remove the plastic.
Note: The console can display speed and distance in 
either miles or kilometers. To find which unit of mea-
surement is selected, see step 3 on page 24. For 
simplicity, all instructions in this section refer to miles.

bered Quick Resistance buttons.
   Note: After you press a button, it will take a 
moment for the pedals to reach the selected 
resistance level. 
4. Follow your progress with the display.
   The display can show the following workout 
information:
  Calories (Cals.)—This display mode will show the 
approximate number of calories you have burned.
  Calories per Hour (Cals./Hr)—This display mode 
will show the approximate number of calories you 
are burning per hour.
  Distance (Dist.)—This display mode will show 
the distance that you have pedaled in miles or 
kilometers. 
  Pulse—This display mode will show your heart rate 
when you use the handgrip heart rate monitor or 
the optional chest heart rate monitor (see step 5).
   Resistance (Resist.)—This display mode will 
show the resistance level of the pedals. 
  RPM—This display mode will show your pedaling 
speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).
  Speed—This display mode will show your pedaling 
speed in miles per hour or kilometers per hour.
  Time—When the manual mode is selected, this 
display mode will show the elapsed time. When a 
workout is selected, this display mode will show the 
time remaining in the workout.
   The matrix offers several display tabs. Press the 
increase and decrease buttons next to the Enter 
button until the desired tab is shown. 
  Speed—This tab will show a profile of the speed 
settings of the workout. A new segment will appear 
at the end of each minute.
   My Trail—This tab will show a track that represents 
1/4 mile (400 m). As you exercise, the flashing 
rectangle will show your progress. The My Trail tab 
will also show the number of laps you complete. 
  Calorie—This tab will show the approximate 
amount of calories you have burned. The height of 
each segment represents the amount of calories 
burned during that segment.

   As you exercise, the workout intensity level bar 
will indicate the approximate intensity level of your 
exercise. 
   To pause the console, press the Pause/End button 
or the Home button or simply stop pedaling. When 
the console is paused, the time will flash in the 
display. To continue your workout, simply resume 
pedaling.
   Press the Pause/End button or the Home button 
repeatedly to pause the workout, view your work-
out results, and exit the workout and return to the 
manual mode. 
   Change the volume level 
of the console by pressing 
the volume increase and 
decrease buttons.
5. Measure your heart rate if desired. 
   You can measure your heart rate using either 
the handgrip heart rate monitor or an optional 
chest heart rate monitor (see page 21 for 
information about the optional chest heart rate 
monitor). Note: The console is compatible with 
BLUETOOTH® Smart heart rate monitors.
   Note: If you use both heart rate monitors at the 
same time, the chest heart rate monitor will 
have priority.
  If there are 
sheets of plas-
tic on the metal 
contacts on the 
handgrip heart 
rate monitor, 
remove the plas-
tic. To measure 
your heart rate, 
hold the handgrip 
heart rate monitor with your palms resting against 
the contacts. Avoid moving your hands or grip-
ping the contacts tightly.
   When your pulse is detected, a heart symbol 
will appear in the display, one or two dashes will 
appear, and then your heart rate will be shown. For 
the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the 
contacts for at least 15 seconds. 
   If the display does not show your heart rate, make 
sure that your hands are positioned as described. 
Be careful not to move your hands excessively or 
to squeeze the contacts tightly. For optimal perfor-
mance, clean the contacts using a soft cloth; never 
use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals to clean 
the contacts.
6.   When you are finished exercising, the console 
will turn off automatically.
    If the pedals do not move for several seconds, the 
console will pause, and the time will flash in the 
display.
   If the pedals do not move for several minutes, the 
console will turn off and the display will be reset.
