BEFORE YOU BEGIN
CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
tional questions, please call our Customer Service
Department at 08457 089 009. To help us assist you,
please note the product model number and serial
number before calling. The model number is
PFEVEL39012. The serial number can be found on a
decal attached to the elliptical crosstrainer (see the
front cover of this manual for the location of the decal).
Congratulations for selecting the new PROFORM®
700 CARDIO CROSSTRAINER. The PROFORM® 700
is an incredibly smooth exerciser that moves your feet
in a natural elliptical path, minimising the impact on
your knees and ankles. And the unique PROFORM®
700 features adjustable resistance and a state-of-theart console to help you get the most from your exercise. Welcome to a whole new world of natural, elliptical-motion exercise from PROFORM®.
Before reading further, please look at the drawing
below and familiarise yourself with the parts that are
labelled.
For your benefit, read this manual carefully before
you use the elliptical crosstrainer. If you have addi-
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does
your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy.
If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest number in your training zone as you exercise.
WARNING:
Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons over the age of 35
or persons with pre-existing health problems.
For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the middle number in your training zone as you exercise.
The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is
intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen
for prolonged periods of time. This increases the
demand on the heart to pump blood to the muscles,
and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until
your heart rate is near the highest number in your
training zone as you exercise.
The following guidelines will help you to plan your
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition
and adequate rest are essential for successful results.
Water Bottle Holder*
Book Rack
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Console
Handgrip Pulse Sensor
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.
The proper intensity level can be found by using your
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recommended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat
burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.
Handlebar
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your
body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.
FRONT
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heart rate in your training
zone. (During the first few weeks of your exercise
program, do not keep your heart rate in your training
zone for longer than 20 minutes.)
Pedal
Wheel
BACK
Adjustment Foot
Flex Bar
Pedal Disk
LEFT SIDE
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This
will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will
help to prevent post-exercise problems.
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
on the bottom line of the chart (ages are rounded off
to the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers
above your age. The three numbers are your “training
zone.” The lower two numbers are recommended
heart rates for fat burning; the highest number is the
recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each week
if desired. The key to success is to make exercise a
regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
Fat Burning
*No water bottle
is included

To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body

THE OPTIONAL CHEST PULSE SENSOR
ASSEMBLY
The optional chest pulse sensor provides hands-free
operation and continuously monitors your heart rate
during your workouts. To purchase the optional
chest pulse sensor, call 08457 089 009.
Assembly requires two persons. Place all parts of the elliptical crosstrainer in a cleared area and remove the
packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. In addition to the
included allen wrenches, assembly requires a phillips screwdriver
, an adjustable
spanner
, and a rubber mallet
.
As you assemble the elliptical crosstrainer, use the drawings below to identify the small parts used in assembly.
The number in parenthesis below each drawing refers to the key number of the part, from the PART LIST on
page 22. The second number refers to the quantity used in assembly. Note: Some small parts may have been
pre-assembled for shipping. If a part is not in the parts bag, check to see if it has been pre-assembled.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical crosstrainer
regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING
• Avoid moving your hands whilst using the handgrip
pulse sensor. Excessive movement may interfere
with heart rate readings.
To clean the elliptical crosstrainer, use a damp cloth
and a small amount of mild dish soap. Important: To
avoid damage to the console, keep liquids away
from the console and keep the console out of
direct sunlight.

• Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so
may interfere with heart rate readings.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
• For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the
metal contacts for about 15 seconds.
If the console display becomes dim, the batteries
should be replaced; most console problems are the
result of low batteries. Refer to assembly step 5 on
page 7 for replacement instructions. The console
requires four 1,5 V (“D”) batteries.
• For optimal performance of the handgrip pulse sensor, keep the metal contacts clean. The contacts
can be cleaned with a soft cloth—never use alcohol,
abrasives, or chemicals.
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER
HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER

HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM
Each Heart Rate program helps you to keep your
heart rate near a certain percentage of your maximum
heart rate during your workout. (Your maximum heart
rate is estimated by subtracting your age from 220.
For example, if you are 25 years old, your maximum
heart rate is 195.) Heart Rate program 5 is designed
to keep your heart rate between 65% and 85% of your
maximum heart rate whilst you exercise; Heart Rate
program 6 is designed to keep your heart rate
between 65% and 80% of your maximum heart rate.
Follow the steps below to use a Heart Rate program.

CONSOLE DESCRIPTION
When using a Heart Rate program, you must use
the handgrip pulse sensor (refer to step 5 on
page 12) or the optional chest pulse sensor (refer
to page 20). If you use the handgrip pulse sensor,
it is not necessary to hold the handgrips continuously during the program. However, you should
hold the handgrips frequently for the program to
operate properly. Each time you hold the handgrips, keep your hands on the metal contacts
for at least 30 seconds. Note: When you are not
holding the handgrips, the letters PLS will appear
in the display instead of your heart rate.
Refer to the drawing on page 10. Note: If there is a
thin sheet of clear plastic on the face of the console, remove it.
Start the program.
To start the program, simply begin exercising.
Each Heart Rate program consists of twenty, oneminute periods. One resistance setting and one
heart rate setting are programmed for each period. (The same resistance setting and/or heart
rate setting may be programmed for consecutive
periods.)
During the program, the resistance of the elliptical
crosstrainer will automatically change as shown
by the applicable profile on the console. If the current resistance level is too high or too low, you
can adjust the resistance level by pressing the +
and – buttons. However, when the current period
of the program is completed, the resistance level
will automatically change if a different resistance
setting is programmed for the next period.
As you exercise,
the bar graphs
will help you to
keep your heart
rate near the
heart rate setting
for the current
period. The left
bar graph will show your actual exercise pace.
The right bar graph will show a target pace. When
you hold the handgrip pulse sensor (or wear the
optional chest pulse sensor), the console will
compare your heart rate to the heart rate setting
for the current period. If necessary, the right bar
graph will then change to prompt you to increase
or decrease your pace to bring your heart rate
closer to the current heart rate setting. When the
currently shown. Note: When the distance is
shown, the word Miles or the letters Kms will
appear; when your speed is shown, the letters MPH
or Km/H will appear.
G. Pace bar graphs—When the manual mode is
selected, only the left bar graph will appear. This
bar graph represents your exercise pace. As you
increase or decrease your pace, additional bars will
appear or disappear on the bar graph. When a
Smart program, a Heart Rate program, or the
iFIT.com mode is selected, both bar graphs will
appear. The left bar graph represents your exercise
pace, and the right bar graph represents a target
pace. During the program, the target pace will
periodically change. As the right bar graph
changes, simply adjust your pace so that the same
number of bars appear on both bar graphs.
Important: The target pace is a goal pace. Your
actual pace may be slower than the target pace,
especially during the first few months of your
exercise program. Make sure to exercise at a
pace that is comfortable for you.
A. Exercise feedback display—This display features
seven modes that give you instant exercise feedback: your current speed, the elapsed time (or the
time remaining in a Smart program or a Heart Rate
program), the distance that you have pedalled, the
resistance level, the approximate number of calories you have burned, your power output in watts,
and your heart rate (when you use the handgrip
pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor
[refer to page 20 for information about the chest
pulse sensor]). If the scan mode is selected, the
display will change from one mode to the next
every six seconds. Or, you can select a single mode
for continuous display.
Note: The console can show speed and distance
in either miles or kilometres. To change the unit
of measurement, hold down the On/Reset button
