WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, 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 sustained by or through the
use of this product.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the elliptical are adequately
informed of all precautions.
2. Keep children under age 16 and pets away
from the elliptical at all times.
3. Consult your health care provider before
beginning any exercise program. This is
especially important for persons over age
35 or persons with pre-existing health
problems.
4. Consult your health care provider before
beginning or continuing any exercise pro-
gram during pregnancy. Use the elliptical
only as authorized by your health care
provider.
5. 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.
6. Use the elliptical only as described in this
manual.
7. The elliptical is intended for home use only.
Do not use the elliptical in a commercial,
rental, or institutional setting.
8. Keep the elliptical indoors, away from mois-
ture and dust. Do not put the elliptical in a
garage or covered patio, or near water.
9. 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
side. To protect the floor or carpet from dam-
age, place a mat under the elliptical.
10. Inspect and properly tighten all parts each
time the elliptical is used. Replace any worn
parts immediately. Use only manufacturer-
supplied parts.
11. The elliptical should not be used by persons
weighing more than 300 lbs. (135 kg).
12. 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.
13. Hold the handlebars or the upper body arms
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.
14. 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.
15. Keep your back straight while using the ellip-
tical; do not arch your back.
16. Over exercising may result in serious injury
or death. If you feel faint, if you become short

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER ADAPTER
IMPORTANT: If the elliptical has been exposed to
cold temperatures, allow it to warm to room tem-
perature before you plug in the power adapter (A).
If you do not do this, you may damage the console
displays or other electronic components.
Plug the power adapter
(A) into the receptacle
on the front of the
elliptical. Then, plug
the power adapter
into an appropriate
outlet that is properly
installed in accordance
with all local codes and
ordinances.
HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL
Due to the size and weight of the elliptical, moving
it requires two persons. Stand in front of the elliptical,
hold the upright (B), and place one foot against one of
the wheels (C). Pull on the upright and have a second
person lift the handle (D) 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 LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL
If the elliptical rocks slightly on your floor during use,
turn one or both of the leveling feet (E) beneath
the rear stabilizer or turn the leveling foot (F) under
the center of the frame until the rocking motion is
eliminated.
THE OPTIONAL TABLET HOLDER
The optional tablet
holder (G) 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

HOW TO CHANGE THE INCLINE OF THE RAMP
To vary the motion of
the pedals, you can
change the incline
of the ramp. To raise
the ramp, press the
latch button (H), and
then pull the ramp
handle (I) upward to
the desired incline
level.
To lower the ramp, press the latch button (H), pull the
ramp handle (I), and lower the ramp to the desired
incline level. Then, release the latch button and
engage the latch pin into one of the adjustment holes
in the frame. Make sure that the latch pin is firmly
engaged in one of the adjustment holes in the
frame.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
See the drawing at the right. To mount the elliptical,
hold the handlebars (J) or the upper body arms (K)
and step onto the pedal (L) 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 (L) come
to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical does not
have a free wheel; 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.

With the iFit app, you can access a large and var-
ied library of iFit video workouts, create your own
workouts, track your workout results, and access many
other features.
Each iFit workout automatically changes the resistance
of the pedals as an iFit coach guides you through an
immersive and effective video workout.
In addition, you can connect your personal audio
player to the console sound system and listen to your
favorite music or audio books while you exercise.
To use the manual mode, see page 20. To use an
iFit workout, see page 22. To connect your heart
rate monitor to the console, see page 24. To
use the sound system, see page 24. To change
console settings, see page 25.
Note: If there is a sheet of plastic on the display,
remove the plastic. The console can display speed
and distance in either standard units or metric units.
To change the unit of measurement, press the St/Met
button repeatedly.
