Before assembling the unit, verify the chosen site meets the following criteria:

• Area is well lit and well ventilated.
• Surface is structurally sound and properly leveled.
• Free area for access to unit and emergency dismount. Minimum clearance is 23.6 inches (0.6 meters).
• Adjacent units may share the free area.

Free Area - Lower Body

1	23.6”, 0.6m

Free Area - Total Body

1	23.6”, 0.6m

It is the responsibility of the facility owner/owner of the equipment to ensure that there is appropriate clearance around each machine to allow for safe use and passage.

In compliance with the ADA (American Disabilities Act) there must be clear floor space of at least 30 by 48 inches and be served by an accessible route for at least one of each type of exercise equipment. If the clear space is enclosed on three sides (e.g., by walls or the equipment itself), the clear space must be 36 by 48 inches.

All other machines must have a clear floor space of 23" for all access point on the machine.

The dimensions stated in the assembly instructions of this manual include the maximum foot print (in use) dimensions.

Minimum clearance of 12” (30 cm) between units for proper wireless heart rate signal operation.

1. Plug in the power to the external power connector on the front end of the unit.
2. Tighten the connector to the unit until its securely in place.
3. Plug the cord into an AC outlet.

Note to the CATV Installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

To mount, step one foot at a time atop each of the foot plates. If necessary, stabilize your body by grasping the frame, the stationary handles (if available), or the moving handles (if available). Be aware that the pedals will begin to move as soon as you put weight on them. The pedals are large enough to accommodate different foot positions, however the most common position is with the user’s toes forward underneath the plastic toe cup.

To begin exercise, push down and back into the pedals. Since the Arc Trainer pedals travel back and forth along an arc (not in a circle or ellipse), there is no ‘forward’ or ‘backward’ motion.

To dismount, slowly bring the pedals to a stop. Grasp the stationary handles or part of the frame to assist in stepping off the foot plate, back and away from the machine. When stepping back, ensure that you are beyond and behind the path of motion of the foot plates. Never stand inside of the machine’s footprint, unless standing atop the foot plates.

Once standing on the foot plates, begin exercise by pushing down and back on the foot plates. The user has several options for hand placement, not all of which are available on each Arc Trainer variant: 1. Stationary handles along the side of the frame, 2. Stationary handles around the console, 3. Moving handles, or 4. Not holding anything. These different postures have an influence on the muscles that are utilized and thus, the calories burned during the exercise. Always be aware of the position of the moving handles, especially if you are not actively grasping them. These handles move in synchrony with the pedals, so pull on the handle as you are pushing down and back with your foot. Speed on the Arc Trainer is measured in cadence as steps per minute. The most common cadences during use are 100-160 steps per minute, although users performing high intensity intervals may routinely exceed this range.

The following preventive maintenance tips will keep the LIFE FITNESS product operating at peak performance:

• Locate the product in a cool, dry place.
• Clean the display console and all exterior surfaces with an approved or compatible cleaner (see LIFE FITNESS Approved Cleaners) and a microfiber cloth.
• Long fingernails may damage or scratch the surface of the console; use the pad of the finger to press the selection buttons on the console.
• Clean the top surface of the foot plates regularly.
• Clean the housing and moving arms thoroughly on a regular basis.

Two preferred cleaners have been approved by reliability experts: PureGreen 24 and Gym Wipes. Both cleaners will safely and effectively remove dirt, grime and sweat from equipment. PureGreen 24 and the Antibacterial Force formula of Gym Wipes are both disinfectants that are effective against MRSA and H1N1.

PureGreen 24 is available in a spray which is convenient for gym staff to use. Apply the spray to a microfiber cloth and wipe down the equipment. Use PureGreen 24 on the equipment for at least 2 minutes for general disinfection purposes and at least 10 minutes for fungus and viral control.

Gym Wipes are large, durable pre-moistened wipes to use on the equipment before and after workouts. Use Gym Wipes on the equipment for at least 2 minutes for general disinfection purposes.

Contact Customer Support Services to order these cleaners (1-800-351-3737 or email: customersupport@lifefitness.com).

Mild soap and water or a mild non-abrasive household cleaner can also be used to clean the display and all exterior surfaces. Use a soft microfiber cloth only. Apply the cleaner to the microfiber cloth before cleaning. DO NOT use ammonia or acid based cleaners. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners. DO NOT use paper towels. DO NOT apply cleaners directly to the equipment surfaces.

If the heart rate reading is erratic or missing, do the following:

• Dry the hands if necessary to prevent slipping.
• Apply hands to all eight sensors on user arms or bullhorns.
• Grasp the sensors firmly.
• Apply constant pressure around the sensors.
