Attach the footrests to the position of your choice 

on the pedal shafts with two screws, two washers / 

screw and locking nuts.

Detach the lid of the battery casing at the back of 

the meter and place the batteries in the holder (2 

x 1.5 V AA). Push the casing lid back into place. 

Remove the two attachment screws at the back of 

the meter. Attach the cable coming from the front 

frame tube to the connector of the meter and push 

the meter into place on top of the front frame tube. 

Attach the meter with the two attachment screws.

Remove the rubber band holding the handlebar 

pulse cable. Attach the handlebar to the front frame 

tube with a clamp, four screws and two sleeves / 

screw.  Attach the pulse cable to the connector at 

the bottom-edge of the meter. 

Turn the locking knob counterclockwise and pull 

the locking knob out so that the adjusting tube 

can be moved freely up and down. When the 

height is right, let go of the knob. The tube locks 

into place. Tighten the locking knob clockwise. 

 Always make sure that the locking knob is 

fastened properly before starting to exercise. Adjust 

the footrest support height so that the elliptic 

movement does not strain your ankles.

To increase or decrease resistance, turn the 

adjustment knob at the top of the handlebar 

support tube clockwise (+direction) to increase 

resistance and counterclockwise (-direction) to 

decrease resistance. The scale above the knob (1-8) 

helps you find and reset a suitable resistance.

Working out using an elliptical trainer is excellent 

aerobic exercise, the principle being that the 

exercise should be suitably light, but of long 

duration. Aerobic exercise is based on improving 

the body ’s maximum oxygen uptake, which in 

turn improves endurance and fitness. The ability 

of the body to burn fat as a fuel is directly 

dependent on its oxygen-uptake capacity. Aerobic 

exercise should above all be pleasant. You should 

perspire, but you should not get out of breath 

during the workout. You must, for example, be able 

to speak and not just pant while pedaling. 

You should exercise at least three times a week, 

30 minutes at a time, to reach a basic fitness 

level. Maintaining this level requires a few exercise 

sessions each week. Once the basic condition has 

been reached, it is easily improved simply by 

increasing the number of exercise sessions. Exercise 

is always rewarding for weight loss, because it is 

the only way of increasing the energy spent by 

the body. This is why it is always worthwhile to
