EL3 /EL5 Elliptical
5. Put the flat washer onto the 2-1/4 bolt and the two curved washers onto the two
3/4 bolts. Install, and hand tighten, the 2-1/4 bolt through the left side of the receiving
tube into the console mast. NOTE: There is a wire running through the tube. Be careful
not to damage or pinch this wire during this procedure. Damage to the electronic
console could result. Install, and hand tighten, the two 1 bolts through the front of the
receiving tube into the console mast.
6. Using the two sided wrench tighten the three bolts, and the fourth bolt which is
pre-installed, firmly. These bolts should be tightened as much as you possibly can.
7. Locate the electronic console and the four 1/2 X 1/4 Phillips head screws.
8. There will be three electrical wire connectors at the top opening of the console mast,
two 2 pin (hand pulse sensors), one 10 pin (main wire harness). Connect these to the
mating connectors on the back of the console. The connectors are keyed so you cannot
plug them in the wrong way so do not force them.
9. Storing the excess wire back into the console mast, carefully install the console onto the
mounting plate and secure using the four Phillips head screws.
STEP 3: HANDLE BAR ASSEMBLY
1. Remove the hardware from the hardware pack for step 3. You should have two 5/8 X
3/8 bolts, two large flat washers, two large wave washers and six self tapping Phillips
head screws.
2. Locate and install the two large wave washers onto the handle bar axle, one on each
side.
3. Slide the left and right handle bars onto the appropriate side of the axle. There is a
sticker on each handle bar indicating L for left and R for right.
4. Put the large flat washers onto the two 5/8 X 3/8 bolts and install, and tighten, in the
threaded holes in the ends of the axle.
5. Install the plastic covers over the handle bar/axle connections with the six self tapping
Phillips head screws.
STEP 4: FOOT PAD/CONNECTING ARM ASSEMBLY (This step may have already been
performed at the factory on your unit)
1. Remove the hardware from the hardware pack for step 4. You should have two 1-1/4 X
5/16 bolts, two flat washers, two Nylon nuts, four 5/8 machine screws (long), four 3/8
machine screws (short) and two self-tapping Phillips head screws.
2. On the pedal arms, in the middle on top, there are two axles already installed in the
bushing housings. Remove, from one side of each axle, the bolt (one should be loose)
and washer. Remove the axle and set aside for the next step.
3. Locate the left foot pad/connecting arm. Holding the rear of the foot pad with your right
hand and the connecting arm, just in front of the foot pad, with your left hand, place the
foot pad over the bushing housing.
