IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read
all important precautions and instructions in this manual and all warnings on your elliptical before
using your elliptical. ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sus-
tained by or through the use of this product.
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the elliptical are adequately
informed of all precautions.
2. Before beginning any exercise program,
consult your physician. This is especially
important for persons over age 35 or persons
with pre-existing health problems.
3. The elliptical is not intended for use by
persons with reduced physical, sensory, or
mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they are given supervi-
sion or instruction about use of the elliptical
by someone responsible for their safety.
4. Use the elliptical only as described in this
manual.
5. The elliptical is intended for home use only.
Do not use the elliptical in a commercial,
rental, or institutional setting.
6. Keep the elliptical indoors, away from mois-
ture and dust. Do not put the elliptical in a
garage or covered patio, or near water.
7. Place the elliptical on a level surface, with at
least 4 ft. (1.2 m) of clearance in the front of
the elliptical, 6 ft. (1.8 m) in the rear, and 2 ft.
(0.6 m) on each side. To protect the floor or
carpet from damage, place a mat under the
elliptical.
8. Inspect and properly tighten all parts each
time the elliptical is used. Replace any worn
parts immediately.
9. Keep children under age 16 and pets away
from the elliptical at all times.
10. When connecting the power cord (see
page 14), plug the power cord into a
grounded circuit.
11. Do not modify the power cord or use an
adapter to connect the power cord to an
improper receptacle. Keep the power cord
away from heated surfaces. Do not use an
extension cord.
12. Do not operate the elliptical if the power cord
or plug is damaged, or if the elliptical is not
working properly.
13. DANGER: Always unplug the power
cord and switch the power switch to the off
position when the elliptical is not in use and
before cleaning the elliptical. Servicing other
than the procedures in this manual should be
performed by an authorized service repre-
sentative only.
14. The elliptical should not be used by persons
weighing more than 375 lbs. (170 kg).
15. Wear appropriate clothes while exercising;
do not wear loose clothes that could become
caught on the elliptical. Always wear athletic
shoes for foot protection while exercising.
16. Hold the handlebars when mounting,
dismounting, or using the elliptical. Before
mounting or dismounting, bring the pedals
to a stop with the pedal on the mounting or
dismounting side in its lowest position.

4
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
17. The elliptical does not have a freewheel; the
pedals will continue to move until the fly-
wheel stops. Reduce your pedaling speed in
a controlled way.
18. Keep your back straight while using the
elliptical; do not arch your back.
19. Over exercising may result in serious injury
or death. If you feel faint, if you become short
of breath, or if you experience pain while
exercising, stop immediately and cool down.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
This product must be grounded. If it should mal-
function or break down, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk
of electric shock. The power cord has a plug with a
grounding pin.
Plug the power
cord (A) into
an appropriate
outlet (B) that is
properly installed
and grounded in
accordance with
all local codes and
ordinances. The
outlet must be
on a nominal 120-volt circuit.
A temporary
adapter (C) may
be used to con-
nect the power
cord to a 2-pole
receptacle (D)
as shown at the
right if a properly
grounded outlet is
not available.
The lug (E) or wire extending from the adapter must
be connected with a metal screw (F) to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box covers are not
grounded. Before using an adapter, contact a
qualied electrician to determine whether the out-
let box cover is grounded before using an adapter.
The temporary adapter should be used only until
a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualied electrician.
B
A
DANGER: Improper connection of
the power cord increases the risk of electric
shock. Do not modify the plug—if it will not fit
an outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician. If you are unsure whether
the product is properly grounded, contact a
qualified electrician.

HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL
Due to the size and weight of the elliptical, moving
it requires two persons. Stand in front of the ellipti-
cal and lift the handle (G) until the elliptical will roll on
the wheels. Carefully move the elliptical to the desired
location, and then lower it to the floor.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
To mount the elliptical, hold the handlebars (H) and
step onto the pedal (I) that is in the lower position.
Then, step onto the other pedal. Push the pedals until
they begin to move with a continuous motion. Note:
The pedals can turn in either direction. It is recom-
mended that you turn the pedals in the direction
shown by the arrow; however, for variety, you can
turn the pedals in the opposite direction.
To dismount the elliptical, wait until the pedals (I) come
to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical does not
have a freewheel; the pedals will continue to move
until the flywheel stops. When the pedals are station-
ary, step off the higher pedal first. Then, step off the
lower pedal.

HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL
If the elliptical rocks
slightly on your
floor during use,
turn one or both of
the leveling feet (J)
beneath the front of
the frame until the
rocking motion is
eliminated.
THE OPTIONAL TABLET HOLDER
The optional tablet
holder (K) will hold
your tablet securely
in place and enable
you to use your tablet
while you exercise. The
optional tablet holder is
designed for use with
most full-size tablets.
To purchase a tablet
holder, please see

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers an array of features
designed to make your workouts more effective and
enjoyable.
The console features wireless technology that enables
the console to connect to iFit. With iFit, you can access
a large and varied workout library, create your own
workouts, track your workout results, and access many
other features.
In addition, the console features a selection of onboard
workouts. Each workout automatically controls the
resistance of the pedals and the incline of the frame as
it guides you through an effective exercise session.
When you use the manual mode of the console, you
can change the resistance of the pedals and the incline
of the frame with the touch of a button.
While you exercise, the console will display continu-
ous exercise feedback. You can even measure your
heart rate using a compatible heart rate monitor. See
page 26 for information about purchasing an
optional chest heart rate monitor.
You can also listen to your favorite workout music or
audio books with the console sound system while you
exercise.
To turn on the power, see page 18. To learn how
to use the touch screen, see page 18. To set up
the console, see page 18.
HOW TO USE THE CONSOLE

HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER
IMPORTANT: If the elliptical has been exposed to
cold temperatures, allow it to warm to room tem-
perature before you turn on the power. If you do

frame near the power cord.
Press the power switch to the
reset position (A).
The console will then turn on and be ready for use.
Note: When you turn on the power for the rst time,
the incline system may calibrate automatically. The
frame will move upward and downward as it calibrates.
When the frame stops moving, the incline system is
calibrated.
IMPORTANT: If the incline system does not
calibrate automatically, see step 6 on page 18
and manually calibrate the incline system.
HOW TO USE THE TOUCH SCREEN
The console features a tablet with a full-color touch
screen. The following information will help you use the

displays in a workout.
• To type information into a text box, first touch the text
box to view the keyboard. To use numbers or other
characters on the keyboard, touch ?123. To view
more characters, touch ~[<. Touch ?123 again to
return to the number keyboard. To return to the letter
keyboard, touch ABC. To use a capital character,
touch the shift button (upward-facing arrow symbol).
To use multiple capital characters, touch the shift
button again. To return to the lowercase keyboard,
touch the shift button a third time. To clear the last
character, touch the clear button (backward-facing
arrow with an X symbol).
