Your programmable (CSE3HR Only) elliptical is powered by a power supply. The power supply must be plugged into the power jack, which is located in the front of the machine near the front foot tube.
MOVING Your elliptical has a pair of transport wheels built into the front of the frame. To move, firmly grasp the console mast, carefully lift and roll. ! CAUTION CAUTION! Our ellipticals are well built and heavy, weighing up to 200lbs.! 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.

Troubleshooting & Maintenance Procedures ! WHAT KIND OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED? CAUTION 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.
Your Horizon Fitness elliptical is designed to be reliable and maintenance free. However, if you do experience problems with your elliptical, please reference the troubleshooting guide listed below. PR OBLEM: There is no display on the console. SO LUTION : Remove the console and verify that the console cable is attached properly, making sure that the cable is securely inserted into the console. On the (CSE3HR), check power cords to ensure they are properly plugged in.
Check your exercise environment for sources of interference such as high power lines, large motors, etc. 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.
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.
Co! nditioning Guidelines CAUTION Always consult your physician before beginning an exercise program. TIPS HOW OFTEN? 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.
HOW HARD? How hard you workout is also determined by your goals. If you use your elliptical to prepare for a 5K run, 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.
Monitoring Your Heart Rate FEEDBACK Your elliptical offers two heart rate feedback options. You may choose to use the heart rate handlebars, or the chest transmitter for a hands free workout. HEART RATE HANDLEBAR Place the palm of your hands directly on the heart rate handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars for your heart rate to register. When griping the handlebars, do not grip tightly. Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure.
Heart Rate Chart TARGET HEART RATE ZONE Your ‘Target Heart Rate Zone’ is a percentage of your maximum heart rate. Target Zones 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. See the chart below for convenient reference.
Developing A Fitness Program STRETCH FIRST Before using your Horizon Fitness product, it is best to take a few minutes doing 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.
Warm Up & Cool Down 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 Horizon Fitness product at a slow pace. COOL DOWN Never stop exercising suddenly! A cool-down period 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.
Achieving Your Fitness Goals An important step in developing a long term fitness program is to determine your goals. Is your primary goal for exercising on your elliptical to lose weight? Improve muscle? Burn Stress? Prepare for the spring racing schedule? Knowing what your goals are will help you develop a more successful exercise program.
