the Shifter setting toward the 8 setting, allowing less Pedal movement. The Pedals should be set so they displace
enough to absorb the impact of your motion at your desired stepping pace.
Note: “Bottomed out” is when the User is unable to start a workout because the Pedals will not move. If this
occurs, safely grasp the Static Handlebars and apply your weight to the heel of the higher foot. While still
grasping the Static Handlebar, lean back slightly applying more weight onto the heel. Once the Pedals
begin to move, resume your intended workout.
It may be helpful to note the Shifter setting for future reference when there are multiple users of the machine.

The transmitter will send your heart rate to the machine’s receiver and display your estimated Beats Per Minute (BPM).
Always remove the transmitter before you clean the chest strap. Clean the chest strap regularly with mild soap and water, and thoroughly dry it.
Residual sweat and moisture may keep the transmitter active and drain the battery in the transmitter. Dry and wipe clean the transmitter after each
use.
Note: Do not use abrasives or chemicals such as steel wool or alcohol when you clean the chest strap, as they can damage the electrodes
permanently.
