CARING FOR YOUR GAZELLE
®
SPRINTER
Your unit has been carefully designed to require minimum maintenance.
To ensure this, we recommend that you do the following:
• Keep your unit clean by wiping sweat, dust or other residue off with a
soft, clean cloth after each use.
• Wipe your handlebar grips down with a soft, damp cloth frequently to
prevent accumulation of sweat & dirt.
• If squeaks or other noises develop over time, we recommend the
following:
a) Lubricate all moving parts. For best results we recommend using
white lithium grease. You may also apply clear household grease
(i.e. petroleum jelly) to axle tube.
b) Spray cable holders (top & bottom) with WD-40
®
or equivalent.
c) Check to be sure that the screws on the bottom of the foot
platforms are tight.
STORING YOUR GAZELLE
®
SPRINTER
Your unit conveniently folds down for easy storage. To fold your unit:
a) IMPORTANT: Before folding, rst disconnect hydraulic cylinders for
storage position. Clip into the hydraulic cylinder clips.
b) Fold foot platforms & lock into place by snapping lower cable holders
onto swing arms.
c) Place foot on rear frame tube (to hold in place) & slide front frame
tube toward you by grabbing front swing arms.
d) Carefully lower the unit toward the ground until the wheels engage &
roll unit out of the way.
Store your equipment in an area away from children & high trafc areas.
RESISTANCE
Your Gazelle comes with added resistance. Once you have reached your
maximum benets with no resistance, you may progress to a more efcient
workout with resistance.
To engage resistance, simply lift the cylinders toward the top of the swing
arms & lock the hydraulic cylinders into place.
IMPORTANT: See “Assembly Instructions” booklet for hydraulic cylinder
set-up. When in use, the cylinders get very hot. Do not touch & please keep
children away.
TOTAL FITNESS PROGRAM
A Total Fitness Program is more than exercise & more than eating right. It is
a “tness for life” plan that goes hand in hand with an overall healthy lifestyle.
This includes regular check-ups & exercise, now & for the rest of your life.
Your total tness program consists of three parts:
• Aerobic exercise to burn calories.
• Strength conditioning exercises to tone & shape your muscles,
increase your metabolic rate, & strengthen your bones.
• A diet that is safe, sensible & healthy.
Today, all tness research recommends both aerobic exercise & strength
conditioning to achieve balanced tness. By improving your aerobic tness
you will strengthen your heart & lungs, increase your stamina & endurance
& help with weight loss. Strength conditioning adds lean muscle to your
body, increasing your body’s metabolism. In this process, your body burns
more calories, even while you rest. When you combine aerobic workouts
with strength conditioning, you can burn more fat & calories than with just
aerobic exercise alone.
The Gazelle

Sprinter workout will help with the rst two parts of your Total
Fitness Program, but you need to make healthy, low-fat eating a big priority
as well. If you need help making healthy eating a part of your life, then please
refer to the Nutrition Guide that is included.
Consult with your physician about an eating plan that’s right
for you. Healthy eating habits & exercise will help you reach your goal.
We recommend that you follow dietary guidelines approved by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture & the U.S. Department of Health &
Human Services.
