HOW TO USE THE AIR STRIDER  
ELECTRONIC MONITOR MODES  
CAUTION: When you are getting onto and off  
the AIR STRIDER, always tighten the resis-  
tance dials, hold the handles firmly, and be  
sure that your body weight is centered direct-  
ly over the pedals.  
The simple-to-operate electronic monitor offers  
five different modes to provide instant exercise  
feedback. The five modes are described below:  
SpeedÑDisplays the number of repetitions you are  
performing per minute.  
EXERCISING ON THE AIR STRIDER  
TimeÑDisplays the length of time you have exer-  
cised. Note: If you stop exercising for ten seconds or  
longer, the time mode will pause until you resume.  
Make sure that the lock knob is tightened into the  
right leg and pivot bracket (see assembly step 8 on  
page 6). Tighten the resistance dials, hold the han-  
dles, and step onto the pedals. The proper form for  
exercising on the AIR STRIDER is similar to the  
motion of walkingÑmove one leg forward as you  
move the other leg back.  
DistanceÑDisplays the total number of repetitions  
you have completed, up to Ò999.Ó The display will then  
reset to Ò0Ó and continue counting.  
CaloriesÑDisplays the approximate number of  
Calories you have burned. Note: If the resistance is  
near the highest or lowest setting, the actual number  
of Calories you have burned will be slightly higher or  
lower than the number displayed.  
For a full body workout, hold the handles as you walk,  
and move your arms and legs in motion with the han-  
dles and pedals. To vary the effect of the exercise on  
your muscles, change your stance on the AIR  
STRIDER. For example, stand erect or lean against  
the hip pad, change the position of your hands on the  
handles, or bend your legs slightly instead of keeping  
them straight.  
ScanÑDisplays the speed, time, distance, and calo-  
ries modes, for approximately 5 seconds each,  
in a repeating cycle.  
DIAGRAM OF THE ELECTRONIC MONITOR  
For a lower body workout, rest your hands on the  
frame for balance as you move the pedals.  
RESISTANCE ADJUSTMENT

To vary the intensity of your workout, the resistance of  
the AIR STRIDER can be changed. To increase the  
resistance, turn the resistance dials clockwise. To  
decrease the resistance, turn the resistance dials  
counterclockwise.

OPERATING THE ELECTRONIC MONITOR  
Speed, time, distance, or calories modeÑ  
These modes can be individually selected by  
repeatedly pressing the mode button. The mode  
indicators will show which mode has been select-  
ed. (Make sure that the scan mode is not select-  
ed.) The modes will be selected in the following  
order: speed, time, distance, calories, scan.  
1. To turn on the power, press the on/reset button or  
simply begin exercising on the AIR STRIDER. The  
entire display will appear for two seconds. The  
electronic monitor will then be ready for operation.  
2. Select one of the five modes:  
3. The monitor has an auto-off feature to turn off  
the power. If the pedals are not moved and the  
monitor buttons are not pressed for four minutes,  
the power will turn off automatically in order to  
conserve the batteries.  
Scan modeÑWhen the power is turned on, the  
scan mode will be selected automatically. The  
scan mode can also be selected by repeatedly  
pressing the mode button. One mode indicator will  
show that the scan mode has been selected, and  
a second mode indicator will show which mode is  
currently displayed.  
To reset the LCD display, press the on/reset button.  
STORAGE AND TROUBLE-SHOOTING  
Inspect and tighten all parts of the AIR STRIDER reg-  
ularly. Replace any worn parts immediately. The AIR  
STRIDER can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth.  
Keep liquids away from the electronic monitor. Keep  
the monitor out of direct sunlight or the display may  
be damaged. Remove the batteries when storing the  
AIR STRIDER.  
REPLACING THE BATTERIES  
If the display of the electronic monitor becomes dim,  
or if the monitor does not function properly, the batter-  
ies should be replaced. To replace the batteries, refer  
to assembly step 6 on page 6.  
HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH  
HOW TO FOLD THE AIR STRIDER FOR STORAGE  
If the speed and distance modes do not display cor-  
rect information, the reed switch should be adjusted.  
The reed switch is  
located below the  
electronic monitor  
When the AIR STRIDER is not in use, it can be folded  
for compact storage. To fold the AIR STRIDER, first  
remove the lock knob and lock washer from the right  
leg. Next, hold the resistance dials and fold the frame  
and the uprights together. Place the AIR STRIDER in  
a location where it cannot fall.  
(see the drawing at  
the right). Loosen the  
screw in the reed  
Magnet
