21
c-1: It represents to catch the HR reading when the HR graphic
flashes. A
value 0 (for example 124) shows a target heart rate that is set by user.
The red dot 0 represents a proposed(target) RPM. The bottom red line
represents your current RPM. It would be better to line up red point and
red line that means actual RPM consistent with target RPM.
c-2: The preset value is at resistance level 1 and 50 RPM. These programs will
dectect the user's heart rate and adjust resistance levels accordingly.
Once the workout goal is obtained, the elliptical goes into a COOL DOWN
mode.

GUIDELINES FOR EXERCISE
How long should I exercise?
The duration of your exercise session is dependent on your fitness level. In general,
it is recommended that you maintain your heart rate in the training zone for at least
ten minutes to realize an aerobic benefit. As your fitness level increases, you will be
able to maintain your heart rate in the training zone for longer periods: usually
between 20 and 30 minutes.
When starting your workout, use the first several minutes to warm up, then slowly
increase your workload to bring your heart rate into your specific training zone. At the
end of your workout, gradually decrease your workload and exercise lightly as a
"cool down".
How often should I exercise?
To achieve the greatest benefits, aerobic exercises should be performed three to five
times per week. It is important to allow sufficient time, at least 24 hours, for your
body to recover after exercise.
MAINTAINING THE E870 ELLIPTICAL
The Sports Art E870 requires little maintenance but regular cleaning is
recommended to keep your elliptical at peak performance. Before your workout, use
a dry cloth to clean the surface of the display.
NOTE: NEVER POUR LIQUIDS ON THE DISPLAY.
To clean plastic parts, use a mild detergent, and make sure the unit is completely dry
before operating it.
It is recommended that you keep all liquids away from the unit during operation.
Spillage of liquids onto or into the machine will void the warranty.
26
MAINTENANCE LUBRICATING
Shoulder Joint
NOTE: For best performance, lubricate elliptical trainer once a year. Use a grease
gun filled with red lithium ball bearing grease. Such grease is available at
automotive supply stores. Follow the steps below:
STEP 1. Remove the cap underneath the cover.
STEP 2. Insert the grease gun tube end onto the lubrication valve on the product.
Squeeze the grease gun once. Wipe up any excess grease that appears.
STEP 3. Disconnect the grease gun tube from the valve.
STEP 4. Reinsert the cap.
