1. Before beginning any exercise program,
consult your physician. This is especially
important for persons over age 35 or per-

5. Keep the elliptical indoors, away from mois-
ture and dust. Do not put the elliptical in a

6. Place the elliptical on a level surface, with at
least 3 ft. (0.9 m) of clearance in the front and
rear of the elliptical and 2 ft. (0.6 m) on each

7. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-
larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

when mounting, dismounting, or using the

12. The heart rate monitor is not a medical
device. Various factors may affect the accu-
racy of heart rate readings. The heart rate
