IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using the elliptical.

exercising immediately and consult your doctor.
2. Before exercising calculate your maximum heart rate using the formula on page 31.
3. Do warm up stretching exercises before using the unit.
4. Verify that all of the parts are attached and that the nuts, bolts, pedals and bar are correctly tightened
before use. Verify that there are not any cracks or sharp edges.
5. Do not wear loose clothing or high heels. Tie up shoe laces.
6. The maximum weight of a user is 375 pounds (170 Kg).
7. Keep hands away from moving parts.
8. Supervise children, invalids or disabled persons at all times. Children are curious and vulnerable to
accidents. Do not use the unit as a toy. Disabled people should not use the exercise equipment
without the assistance of a qualified person or doctor. Keep pets away from unit.
9. The owner is responsible for explaining safety instructions to each user.
10. The unit can only be used by one person at a time.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, injury to persons or inflicting the harm of a burn:
7. Remove the batteries before adding or removing parts.
8. Do not operate the unit under a blanket or pillow. Excessive heating can occur and cause fire, electric
shock, injury to persons or inflict the harm of a burn.
9. Use the unit only as described in this manual. Only use attachments recommended by the
manufacturer.
10. Do not operate this unit if it is not working properly. Do not operate this unit if it has been dropped or
damaged. Do not operate this unit if it has been immersed into water. Return the unit to a service
center for examination and repair.
11. Never operate the unit when the air openings are blocked. Keep the air openings free of lint, hair and
the like.
12. Do not drop or insert any objects into any openings.
13. Do not use outdoors or near water.
14. Do not operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being administered.
POWER SUPPLY
The X8 is self-powered, requiring no external power source. When a user strides at a speed
above 20 revolutions per minute (RPM), electricity is generated to allow the console of the
Elliptical Trainer to function properly. Because of this self-generating feature, the console
feedback will fade away when you cease pedaling.
Exercising will recharge the four 1.2V, AA rechargeable batteries installed in the console. If the
user exercises for 20 minutes, then stops, and the LED display immediately turns off (within 3 to
5 seconds) it means that the batteries in the console are dead. Replace the batteries with new
rechargeable batteries. The battery location is illustrated on Assembly Step 11.
CLEANING
Clean with soap and slightly damp cloth only; never use solvents.
