When correctly positioned, the Cross-Trainer can be easily mounted from the side. Allow 1 foot of clearance in front of the Cross-Trainer to allow for movement of the pedal levers. 1.2.2 HOW TO STABILIZE THE LIFE FITNESS CROSS-TRAINER After placing the Cross-Trainer where it will be used, check its stability. If there is a rocking motion, even if slight, the unit needs to be stabilized. To level it, check the stabilizing feet on the stabilizing bars to determine which one does not rest fully on the floor. Using a finger, rotate this stabilizing foot to lower it. Recheck the stability and adjust again as needed until the Cross- Trainer is stable and no longer rocks. The adjustment may be locked into position by tightening the jam nut against the stabilizer bar with an open end 9/16 inch wrench . 1.2.3 CHECK FOR POWER The Cross-Trainer console is powered by a rechargeable 6 volt battery. Check the battery by pressing the START key. The console will light up, allowing a workout to be programmed. If the console does not light, mount the Cross-Trainer and begin pedaling. The console will light up, allowing a workout to be programmed. Pedal for 10-20 minutes at 25 RPM or greater while in a workout to charge the battery. Afterwards, the pedal action during workouts keeps the battery charged. If the console still does not light, call Customer Support Services. 1.2.4 FITNESS AND ENTERTAINMENT NETWORKING The Cross-Trainers are Fitness Network and Fitness Entertainment compatible. Contact Life Fitness Customer Support Services to purchase networking kits. FitLinxx® System Network: The protocol allows the unit to exchange workout information with a FitLinxx database. Fitness Entertainment System: The fitness entertainment network compatibility allows this unit to power a third-party receiver for use with an entertainment system (e.g. Cardio Theater® system). 2THE DISPLAY CONSOLE 2.1 DISPLAY CONSOLE OVERVIEW The computerized display console is easy to use. It allows an individual to follow the progress of a workout. The on-board computer allows a workout to be tailored to individual fitness capabilities and goals while providing a unique means of measuring fitness improvement from one workout to the next. 2.2 DISPLAY CONSOLE DESCRIPTIONS The functions for the keys and display windows on the Cross-Trainer console are shown below. Where differences exist between the three models, the particular model number is referenced. A START: The START key is used to activate an unlit console so a new workout can be set up. The activated console displays PRESS ENTER TO BEGIN and remains active for 20 seconds. If no key is pressed, it shuts down again. NOTE: The Cross-Trainers are equipped with AutoStart, so the console will also become active simply by beginning to pedal. B ENTER: This key is used to enter data displayed in the message center. 8 C NUMERIC KEYPAD (CT 9500HR): Use the numeric keys to set the workout parameters, including length of workout, weight, age, target heart rate, and resistance level. While a workout is in progress, they can also be used to enter a different effort level or target heart rate (in Fat Burn or Cardio). The ARROW keys have the same function as the numeric keypad, but allow the data to be increased or decreased instead of keying in the changed data. D ARROW KEYS: Use the Up and Down Arrow keys to set the workout parameters, including length of workout, weight, age, target heart rate, and resistance level. The Arrow keys can also be used to increase or decrease the effort level (or target heart rate if in Fat Burn or Cardio) of a workout while it is in progress. E QUICK WORKOUT: Allows a user to begin a manual workout quickly, with minimal console inputs. F PAUSE (CT 8500, CT 9100): Press this key during a workout to pause it. Press it again (or resume pedaling) to reactivate the workout. The Pause feature allows a paused workout to continue automatically when pedaling resumes. NOTE: The workout must resume before the pause timeout elapses, or it is cancelled. G CLEAR (CT 8500, CT 9100): Press this key to clear incorrect data before pressing the ENTER key. Pressing Clear during a workout will end it and show a summary of the workout (total time elapsed, total calories, and distance traveled). Pressing it a second time will prompt for a new workout. H CLEAR/PAUSE (CT 9500HR): Press this key once to clear incorrect data before pressing the ENTER key. Press it once during a workout to pause it. To reactivate the workout, press the Clear/Pause key again. Pressing it twice in rapid succession during a workout ends the workout and shows a summary of the workout (total time elapsed, total calories, and distance traveled.) Then pressing it a third time clears the current workout and prompts for a new one. DISPLAY LOCKf: During a workout, the message center normally alternates between display of Heart Rate or Distance (if heart rate detected) and (if enabled) Cal/Hr or Watts (not available on CT 8500).
