Where to Place and How to Stabilize the Cross-Trainer
Read the entire manual before setting up the cross-trainer. After following all Safety Instructions, move the unit to the location where it will be used. Allow 1 ft. (0.3 m) of clearance in front of the cross-trainer and at least 2 ft. (0.6 m) on the side. It should be easy to mount the cross-trainer from the side.
Free area
After placing the unit in position, check the unit’s stability by attempting to rock it from side to side. Any slight rocking indicates that the unit must be leveled. Determine which foot is not resting completely on the floor. Loosen the jam nut with an open-end M17 wrench and rotate the stabilizing foot to lower it. Verify that the unit is stable. Repeat the adjustment as necessary until the unit no longer rocks. Lock the adjustment by tightening the jam nut against the stabilizing bar.

i-. Note: Do not modify the plug provided with this product. If the plug does not fit into an available electrical outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
I Note: Make sure the power brick cord is securely connected to the base unit. A loose connection may result in the unit not receiving external power.
Check for Console Power
The Integrity X and Integrity C consoles are powered by a rechargeable 6-volt battery. Check the battery by pressing the GO button. The console should beep and light up. The console will display the Life Fitness logo. If a prompt doesn’t appear, mount the unit and begin pedaling. The console should light up and programming a workout should be possible. Pedal for 10 20 minutes at 50 rpm or faster during a workout for optimum battery charging. The pedal action during workouts keeps the battery charged. Optional external power supply can be used. If the unit is externally powered, battery maintenance is automatic and pedaling is not required. Use only the power supply provided by Life Fitness to insure against unsafe operation.
Power Assist Option / External Power Supply
The cross-trainer’s optional Power Assist feature makes it possible for the console to be powered by an external electrical source. This eliminates the need to pedal at a minimum speed to supply constant power to the console. With this option, users who use the cross-trainer for rehabilitative exercise may pedal at a rate below the minimum without losing console power.
Plug the power to the external power connector on the front end of the cross- trainer. Plug the cord into an AC outlet. Use only the external power supply provided by Life Fitness in order to insure against unsafe operation.
A Caution: Connectors should easily fit into the receptacles. Forcing a connection may lead to damage to the barrel connector and/or receptacle and may void product warranty. If the power supply barrel doesn’t fit easily into the receptacle then the wrong power supply is being used.
The Power Assist feature option requires an optional kit. Contact Life Fitness Customer Support Services to order the kit.

How to Use the Cross-Trainer
Place feet anywhere on the pedals that feel comfortable. Many users put their toes 1-2″ from the front edge of the pedals and 0.5-111 from the inside edge of the pedals. However, the pedals are large enough to allow a range of foot positions depending on preference. Using a combination of upper body strength with the moving handles and lower body strength at the feet, begin to rotate the pedals in a forward motion like walking. The cross-trainer can be used in a slow motion like walking or a faster motion like jogging and running. A typical usage speed is 50 – 60 revolutions of the pedals per minute. The user can concentrate more or less force on the moving handles to vary the degree of upper and lower body recruitment. The stationary bullhorn handles can also be used instead of the moving handles, to focus the effort on the lower body only. For added variation, the cross-trainer can be used in a backwards motion.
Mounting and Dismounting the Cross-Trainer
Before mounting, use the moving arms to bring the pedal nearest you to its lowest position. Grasp the stationary handles and carefully step on the pedals. To dismount, rotate the pedals so the pedal you are stepping off is in the lowest position. Step off the pedals while still holding the stationary handles. Then let go of the handles.
