CONGRATULATIONS! on choosing your elliptical. You’ve taken an important step
in developing and
sustaining an exercise program! Your elliptical is a tremendously effective
tool for achieving your personal fitness goals. Regular use of your elliptical

your elliptical in the comfort of your home. This guide provides you with
basic information for using and enjoying your new machine.

ELLIPTICAL OPERATION
POWER
Your programmable elliptical is powered by a power supply. The power must be
plugged into the power jack, which is located in the front of the machine near
the STABILIZER TUBE. Make sure the console power switch is in in the ON
position. Note: Not all units have an ON/OFF switch on the console.
WARNING
Do not operate the elliptical if the power cord or plug is damaged. If the elliptical appears to not be working properly, do not use the elliptical.
MOVING
Your elliptical has a pair of transport wheels built into the FRONT STABILIZER
TUBE. To move, first remove the power supply and firmly grasp the CONSOLE
MAST, carefully tilt and roll.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
TROUBLESHOOTING & MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Our ellipticals are well built and heavy, weighing up to 200 lbs! Use care and additional help if necessary when moving.
FOOT POSITIONING
Your elliptical offers a variety of foot positions. Moving your foot to the
forward most position of the foot pad increases your step height, which will
create a feel similar to a step machine. Placing your foot toward the back of
the foot pad decreases your step height and creates more of a gliding feel,
similar to a smooth walk or run.
Your elliptical also allows you to pedal both forward and backwards to offer a
variation to your workout and to focus on other major leg muscle groups such
as your hamstrings and calves.

HEART RATE
HANDLEBARS
Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse handlebars. Both hands
must grip the bars for your heart rate to register. It takes 5 consecutive
heart beats (15-20 seconds) for your heart rate to register. When gripping the
pulse handlebars, do not grip tightly. Holding the grips tightly may elevate
your blood pressure. Keep a loose, cupping hold. You may experience an erratic
readout if consistently holding the grip pulse handlebars. Make sure to clean
the pulse sensors to ensure proper contact can be maintained.
WIRELESS CHEST TRANSMITTER (CSE4.6 only)
Prior to wearing the wireless chest transmitter on your chest, moisten the two
rubber electrodes with water. Center the chest strap just below the breast or
pectoral muscles, directly over your sternum, with the logo facing out. NOTE:
The chest strap must be tight and properly placed to receive an accurate and
consistent readout. If the chest strap is too loose, or positioned improperly,
you may receive an erratic or inconsistent heart rate readout. WARNING! The
heart rate function is not a medical device. Various factors may affect the
accuracy of your heart rate reading. The heart rate reading is intended only
as an exercise aid.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE BEGINNING AN ExERCISE PROGRAM.
HOW OFTEN? (Frequency of Workouts)
The American Heart Association recommends that you exercise at least 3 to 4
days per week to maintain cardiovascular fitness. If you have other goals such
as weight or fat loss, you will achieve your goal faster with more frequent
exercise. Whether it’s 3 days or 6 days, remember that your ultimate goal
should be to make exercise a lifetime habit. Many people are successful
staying with a fitness program if they set aside a specific time of day to
exercise. It doesn’t matter whether it’s in the morning before breakfast,
during lunch hour or while watching the evening news. What’s more important is
that it’s a time that allows you to keep a schedule, and a time when you won’t
be interrupted. To be successful with your fitness program, you have to make
it a priority in your life. So decide on a time, pull out your day planner and
pencil in your exercise times for the next month!
HOW LONG? (Duration of Workouts)
For aerobic exercise benefits, it’s recommended that you exercise from between
24 and 60 minutes per session. But start slowly and gradually increase your
exercise times. If you’ve been sedentary during the past year, it may be a
good idea to keep your exercise times to as little as five minutes initially.
Your body will need time to adjust to the new activity. If your goal is weight
loss, a longer exercise session at lower intensities has been found to be most
effective. A workout time of 48 minutes or more is recommended for best weight
loss results.
HOW HARD? (Intensity of Workouts)
How hard you workout is also determined by your goals. If you use your machine
to prepare for a 5K workout, you will probably work out at a higher intensity
than if your goal is general fitness. Regardless of your long term goals,
always begin an exercise program at low intensity. Aerobic exercise does not
have to be painful to be beneficial! There are two ways to measure your
exercise intensity. The first is by monitoring your heart rate (using the grip
pulse handlebars or a wireless chest transmitter – may be sold separately),
and the second is by evaluating your perceived exertion level (this is simpler
than it sounds!).
PERCEIVED ExERTION LEVEL
A simple way to gauge your exercise intensity is to evaluate your perceived
exertion level. While exercising, if you are too winded to maintain a
conversation without gasping, you are working out too hard. A good rule of
thumb is to work to the point of exhilaration, not exhaustion. If you cannot
catch your breath, it’s time to slow down. Always be aware of these warning
signs of overexertion.

TARGET HEART RATE ZONE CHART
What is Target Heart Rate Zone?
Target Heart Rate Zone tells you the number of times per minute your heart
needs to beat to achieve a desired workout effect. It is represented as a
percentage of the maximum number of times your heart can beat per minute.
Target Zone will vary for each individual, depending on age, current level of
conditioning, and personal fitness goals. The American Heart Association
recommends working-out at a Target Heart Rate Zone of between 60% and 75% of
your maximum heart rate. A beginner will want to workout in the 60% range
while a more experienced exerciser will want to workout in the 70-75% range.
See chart for reference.

STRETCHING
STRETCH FIRST
Before using your product, it is best to take a few minutes to do a few gentle
stretching exercises. Stretching prior to exercise will improve flexibility
and reduce chances of exercise related injury. Ease into each of these
stretches with a slow gentle motion. Do not stretch to the point of pain. Make
sure not to bounce while doing
these stretches.

THE IMPORTANCE OF WARM UP & COOL DOWN
WARM UP
The first 2 to 5 minutes of a workout should be devoted to warming up. The
warm-up will limber your muscles and prepare them for more strenuous exercise.
Make sure that you warm-up on your product at a slow pace. The warm up should
gradually bring your heart rate into your Target Heart Rate Zone.
COOL DOWN
Never stop exercising suddenly! A cool-down period of 3-5 minutes allows your
heart to readjust to the decreased demand. Make sure that your cool down
period consists of a very slow pace to allow your heart rate to lower. After
the cool-down, repeat the stretching exercises listed above to loosen and
relax your muscles.

ACHIEVING YOUR FITNESS GOALS
ASSEMBLY
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
ELLIPTICAL OPERATION
CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
An important step in developing a long term fitness program is to determine
your goals. Is your primary goal for exercising to lose weight? Improve
muscle? Reduce stress? Prepare for the spring racing schedule? Knowing what
your goals are will help you develop a more successful exercise program. Below
are some common exercise goals:
· Weight Loss – lower intensity, longer duration workouts · Improve Body Shape
and Tone – interval workouts, alternate between hi and low intensities ·
Increased Energy Level – more frequent daily workouts · Improved Sports
Performance – high intensity workouts · Improved Cardiovascular Endurance –
moderate intensity, longer duration workouts
If possible try to define your personal goals in precise, measurable terms,
and then put your goals in writing. The more specific you can be, the easier
it will be to track your progress. If your goals are long term, divide them up
into monthly and weekly segments. Longer term goals can lose some of the
immediate motivation benefits. Short term goals are easier to achieve. Your
console provides you with several readouts that can be used to record your
progress. You can track Distance, Calories or Time.
KEEPING AN ExERCISE DIARY
To make your personal exercise log book you can print them off of your
computer by going to:

TROUBLESHOOTING
Your Horizon Fitness elliptical is designed to be reliable. However, if you do
experience problems with your elliptical, please reference the troubleshooting
guide listed below.
PROBLEM: The console does not light up. SOLUTION: Verify the following:
· The outlet the machine is plugged into is functional. Double check that the
breaker has not tripped. · The correct adapter is being used. Only use the
adapter provided or authorized by Horizon Fitness. · The adapter is not
pinched or damaged and is properly plugged into the outlet AND the machine. ·
The power switch is turned to the ON position (may not apply to all models). ·
Turn off the machine and unplug power cord. Remove the console and check that
all connections to the console
are secure and not damaged or pinched. NOTE: If your console uses batteries,
they may need to be replaced.
PROBLEM: The console lights up but the Time/RPM’s do not count. SOLUTION:
Verify the following:
· Turn off machine and unplug power cord. Remove the console and check that
all connections to the console are secure and not damaged or pinched.
· If doing the above does not fix the problem, the speed sensor and/or magnet
may have become dislodged or damaged.
PROBLEM: The resistance levels seem to be incorrect, seeming too hard or too
easy. SOLUTION: Verify the following:
· The correct adapter is being used. Only use the adapter provided or
authorized by Horizon Fitness. · Reset the console and allow the resistance to
reset to the default position. Restart and retry the resistance levels.
PROBLEM: The roller wheels appear to be leaving particles on the guide rails.
SOLUTION: This is considered normal wear of the elliptical wheels.
To remove, simply wipe off the roller wheels and guide rails with a damp
cloth.
PROBLEM: The elliptical makes a squeaking or chirping noise. SOLUTION: Verify
the following:
· The elliptical is on a level surface. · Loosen all bolts attached during the
assembly process, grease the threads, and tighten again.

HEART RATE TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM: There is no heart rate reading. SOLUTION: Remove the console and
verify that the heart rate cables are attached properly, making
sure that the cables are securely inserted into the console.
YOU MAY ExPERIENCE AN ERRATIC READOUT UNDER THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
· Gripping the heart rate handlebars too tight. Try to maintain moderate
pressure while holding onto the heart rate handlebars.
· Constant movement and vibration due to constantly holding the heart rate
grips while exercising. · When you are breathing heavily during a workout. ·
When your hands are constricted by wearing a ring. · When your hands are dry
or cold. Try moistening your palms or rubbing them together to warm. · Anyone
with heavy arrhythmia. · Anyone with arteriosclerosis or peripheral
circulation disorder. · Anyone whose skin on the measuring palms is especially
thick.
NOTE: Outside interference sources such as computers, motors and fluorescent
lights may cause the heart
rate reading to be erratic. Check your exercise environment for sources of
interference such as high power lines, large motors, etc.
If the above troubleshooting section does not remedy the problem, discontinue
use and turn the power off.
CALL CUSTOMER TECH SUPPORT AT THE NUMBER ON THE BACK PANEL. WHEN YOU ARE NEAR
THE EQUIPMENT
The following information may be asked of you when you call. Please have these
items readily available: · Model Name · Serial Number · Date of Purchase
(receipt or credit card statement)
In order for Customer Tech Support to service your elliptical they may need to
ask detailed questions about the symptoms that are occurring. Some
troubleshooting questions that may be asked are:
· How long has this problem been occurring? · Does this problem occur with
every use? With every user? · If you are hearing a noise, does it come from
the front, back or inside? What kind of noise is it (thumping,
grinding, squeaking, chirping etc.)? · If you are having a resistance problem
what is occurring? Is the resistance always too hard or too easy?
Does the resistance respond when pushing the buttons on the console? Does the
resistance constantly cycle through the levels during the workout? · Has the
machine been maintained per the maintenance schedule? · Does the problem occur
when using the handlebars? Without using the handlebars?
Answering these and other questions will give the technicians the ability to
send proper replacement parts and the service necessary to get you and your
Horizon Fitness elliptical running again!

COMMON PRODUCT QUESTIONS
ARE THE SOUNDS MY ELLIPTICAL MAKES NORMAL?
Our ellipticals are some of the quietest available because they use belt
drives and friction free magnetic resistance. We use the highest grade
bearings and belts to minimize noise. However, because the resistance system
itself is so quiet, you will occasionally hear other slight mechanical noises.
Unlike older, louder technologies, there are no fans, friction belts, or
alternator noises to mask these sounds on our ellipticals. These mechanical
noises, which may or may not be intermittent, are normal and are caused by the
transfer of significant amounts of energy to a rapidly spinning flywheel. All
bearings, belts and other rotating parts will generate some noise which will
transmit through the casing and frame. It is also normal for these sounds to
change slightly during a workout and over time because of thermal expansion of
the parts.
WHY IS THE ELLIPTICAL I HAD DELIVERED LOUDER THAN THE ONE AT THE STORE?
All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is
generally more background noise than in your home. Also, there will be less
reverberation on a carpeted concrete floor than on a wood overlay floor.
Sometimes a heavy rubber mat will help reduce reverberation through the floor.
If a fitness product is placed close to a wall, there will be more reflected
noise.
HOW LONG WILL THE DRIVE BELT LAST?
The computer modeling we have done indicated virtually thousands of
maintenance free hours. Belts are now commonly used in far more demanding
applications such as motorcycle drives.
CAN I MOVE THE TRAINER EASILY ONCE IT IS ASSEMBLED?
Your elliptical has a pair of transport wheels built into the front legs. It
is easy to move your elliptical by rolling it on the front transport wheels.
It is important that you place your elliptical in a comfortable and inviting
room. Your elliptical is designed to use minimal floor space. Many people will
place their ellipticals facing the TV or a picture window. If at all possible,
avoid putting your elliptical in a unfinished basement. To make exercise a
desirable daily activity for you, the elliptical should be in a comfortable
setting.
CAN I PEDAL BACKWARDS ON MY ELLIPTICAL?
Your elliptical allows you to pedal both forward and backwards to exercise and
strengthen a wider range of muscles.

MAINTENANCE
WHAT KIND OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED?
We use sealed bearings throughout our ellipticals so lubrication is not
needed. The most important maintenance step is to simply wipe your
perspiration off the trainer after each use.
HOW DO I CLEAN MY ELLIPTICAL?
Clean with soap and water cleaners only. Never use solvents on plastic parts.
Cleanliness of your elliptical and its operating environment will keep
maintenance problems and service calls to a minimum. For this reason, Horizon
Fitness recommends that the following preventive maintenance schedule be
followed.
AFTER EACH USE (DAILY)
Turn off the elliptical by unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet ·
Wipe down the elliptical with a damp cloth. Never use solvents, as they can
cause damage to the elliptical. · Inspect the power cord. If the power cord is
damaged, contact Horizon Fitness. · Make sure the power cord is not underneath
the elliptical or in any other area where it can become pinched or cut.
