IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precau-

tions before using the crosstrainer.

1. Read all instructions in this manual before

using the crosstrainer.

2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure

that all users of the crosstrainer are ade-

quately informed of all precautions.

3. The crosstrainer is intended for home use

only. Do not use the crosstrainer in a com-

mercial, rental, or institutional setting.

4. Place the crosstrainer on a level surface,

with a mat beneath it to protect the floor or

carpet. Keep the crosstrainer indoors, away

from moisture and dust.

5. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-

larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

6. Keep children under age 12 and pets away

from the crosstrainer at all times.

7. The crosstrainer should not be used by per-

sons weighing more than 250 pounds.

8. Wear appropriate exercise clothing when

using the crosstrainer; do not wear clothing

that could become caught on the crosstrain-

er. Always wear shoes for foot protection.

9. Before using the weight bench, always

adjust the seat to the farthest forward posi-

tion. Never sit on the backrest or the head-

rest; doing so could cause the crosstrainer

to tip, resulting in injury.

10. Keep your back straight when using the

crosstrainer; do not arch your back.

11. The crosstrainer includes three pairs of

hand weights. Do not use other weights with

the crosstrainer.

12. When you stop pedaling, allow the pedals to

slowly come to a stop.

13. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.

Various factors may affect the accuracy of

heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is

intended only as an exercise aid in determin-

ing heart rate trends in general.

14. If you feel pain or dizziness while exercising,

stop immediately and begin cooling down.

WARNING:Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician.

This is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health prob-

lems. Read all instructions before using. SEARS assumes no responsibility for personal injury or

property damage sustained by or through the use of this product.

HOW TO USE THE RECUMBENT CYCLE

HOW TO ADJUST THE BACKREST

When the recum-

bent cycle is used,

the backrest should

be in the upright

position. To adjust

the backrest, first

pull out the adjust-

ment pin. Raise the

backrest until it is

nearly vertical, and

then insert the

adjustment pin into

the indicated hole

in the rounded

brackets and the

corresponding hole

in the seat carriage.

HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT

For effective exer-

cise, the seat

should be in the

proper position. As

you pedal, there

should be a slight

bend in your knees

when the pedals

are in the farthest

position. To adjust

the seat, first turn

the indicated

adjustment knob

counterclockwise

two or three turns

to loosen it (if the knob is not loosened enough, it may

scratch the rail). Next, pull the knob, slide the seat car-

riage to the desired position, and then release the

knob. Move the seat carriage back and forth slightly

until it locks into position. Then, turn the knob clock-

wise until it is tight.

HOW TO ADJUST THE UPRIGHT

The upright can be

adjusted to the

height that is the

most comfortable for

you. To adjust the

upright, first turn the

indicated adjust-

ment knob counter-

clockwise two or

three turns to

loosen it (if the knob

is not loosened enough, it may scratch the upright).

Next, pull the knob, slide the upright to the desired

height, and then release the knob. Move the upright

up and down slightly until it locks into position.

Then, turn the knob clockwise until it is tight. IMPOR-

TANT: After you adjust the upright, make sure that

your knees will not touch the handgrip pulse sen-

sor when you pedal.

HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDAL STRAPS

To adjust the pedal

straps, first pull the

ends of the straps

off the tabs on the

pedals. Adjust the

straps to the

desired positions,

and then press the

ends of the straps

back onto the tabs.

HOW TO USE THE HAND WEIGHTS

The included hand weights can be used for a variety

of strength training exercises with the weight bench

(refer to page 20). In addition, the hand weights can

be used with the recumbent cycle. As you pedal, press

the hand weights over your head, raise the hand

weights out to your sides until your hands are level

with your shoulders, or do arm curls with the hand

weights.

The crosstrainer features a recumbent cycle for aerobic exercise, and a convenient weight bench for strength

training exercise. To use the recumbent cycle, refer to pages 9 to 19. To use the weight bench, refer to page 20.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The advanced console offers a selection of features

designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and

effective. When the manual mode of the console is

selected, the resistance of the crosstrainer can be

adjusted with a touch of a button. As you exercise, the

console will provide continuous exercise feedback.

You can even measure your heart rate using the built-

in handgrip pulse sensor. (For information about an

optional chest pulse sensor, refer to page 18.)

The console also offers eight Smart workout programs.

Each program automatically changes the resistance of

the crosstrainer and prompts you to increase or

decrease your pace as it guides you through an effec-

tive workout.

The console also features new iFIT.com interactive

technology. IFIT.com technology is like having a per-

sonal trainer right in your home. Using a stereo audio

cable (available at electronics stores), you can connect

the crosstrainer to your home stereo, portable stereo,

or computer and play special iFIT.com CD programs

(CD’s are available separately). IFIT.com CD programs

automatically control the resistance of the crosstrainer

and prompt you to vary your pace as a personal train-

er coaches you through every step of your workout.

High-energy music provides added motivation. Each

CD features two programs designed by certified per-

sonal trainers.

In addition, you can connect the crosstrainer to your

VCR and TV and play iFIT.com video programs (video-

cassettes are available separately). Video programs

offer the same benefits as iFIT.com CD programs, but

add the excitement of working out with a class and an

instructor.

With the crosstrainer connected to your computer, you

can also go to our new Web site at www.iFIT.com and

access audio programs and video programs directly

from the internet.

For information about the availability of iFIT.com

CDs or videocassettes, call toll-free 1-800-884-0620.
