Moving and storage

Please follow these instructions when carrying and moving
the equipment about, because lifting it incorrectly may
strain your back or risk other accidents:
• For transportation or moving of the device, two
grown-ups are needed. Remain standing in front of
the device on each side and take a sturdy grip at the
handles. Lift the front of the device so as to lift the rear
of the device on the wheels. Move the device and
carefully put it down to its new place.
To prevent the equipment malfunctioning, store in a dry
place with as little temperature variation as possible and
protected from dust.

Basics on exercising

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
combine regular exercise with a healthy diet. A dieter
should exercise daily, at first 30 minutes or less at a time,
gradually increasing the daily workout time to one hour.
You should start slowly at a low pedaling speed and low
resistance, because for an overweight person strenuous
exercise may subject the heart and circulatory system
to excessive strain. As fitness improves, resistance and
pedaling speed can be increased gradually. Exercise
efficiency can be measured by monitoring the pulse. The
pulse meter helps you monitor your pulse easily during
exercise, and thus to ensure that the exercise is sufficiently
effective but not over-strenuous. Start your workout with
slow tempo and low resistance. Gradually increase
tempo and resistance according to your own condition.
Keep your head up and neck long in order to avoid stress
on your neck, shoulders and back. Keep also your back
straight. Make sure that your feet are centered on the
foot pedals and that your hips, knees, ankles and toes
are facing forward. Keep your body weight centered
over your lower body regardless of whether you lean
forward or stand upright. Stop your workout by gradually
decreasing tempo andresistance.
Don't forget to stretch afterwards. To strengthen
cardiovascular system, maintain low resistance but high
tempo. Exercising with higher resistance and slow tempo
strengthens correspondingly your back and hips.

Heart rate

No matter what your goal, you'll get the best results by
training at the right level of effort, and the best measure is
your own heart rate. The meter has a heart rate receiver
compatible with Polar equipment, so you can also use
Polar coded heart rate transmitter belts for heart rate
measurement.
The most reliable heart rate measurement is achieved
with a telemetric device, in which the electrodes of the
transmitter fastened to the chest transmit the pulses from
the heart to the console by means of an electromagnetic
field. If you want to measure your heart rate this way
during your workout, moisten the grooved electrodes on the
transmitter belt with water. Fasten the transmitter just below
the chest with the elastic belt, firmly enough so that the
electrodes remain in contact with the skin while exercising,
but not so tight that normal breathing is prevented. If you
wear the transmitter and belt over a light shirt, moisten the
shirt slightly at the points where the electrodes touch the
shirt. The transmitter automatically transmits the heart rate
reading to the console up to a distance of about 1 m. If the
electrode surfaces are not moist, the heart-rate reading will
not appear on the display. If the electrodes are dry, they
must be moistened again. Allow the electrodes warm up
properly to ensure accurate heart rate measurement. If there
are several telemetric heart rate measurement devices next
to each other, the distance between them should be at least
1.5 m. Similarly, if there is only one receiver and several
transmitters in use, only one person with a transmitter should
be within transmission range. The transmitter is switched to
an active state only when it is being used for measurement.
Sweat and other moisture can, however, keep the
transmitter in an active state and waste battery energy.
Therefore it is important to dry the electrodes carefully after
use.
When selecting training attire, please note that some
fibers used in clothes (e.g. polyester, polyamide) create
static electricity, which may prevent reliable heart rate
measurement. Please note that a mobile phone, television
and other electrical appliances form an electromagnetic
field around them, which will cause problems in heart rate
measurement.

Maintenance

The elliptical is practically maintenance free. To keep it
so, keep it clean by wiping down the unit with a damp
cloth after each use. Do not use harsh detergents. Every
month check that all the hardware is securely tightened.
Do not use the elliptical if any parts are loose or broken.
The wheels and aluminum tracks will need to be kept
clean to prevent noise and maintain smoothness.
