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.
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 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.
8. Inspect and properly tighten all parts each
time the elliptical is used. Replace any worn
parts immediately.
9. Keep children under age 13 and pets away
from the elliptical at all times.
10. The elliptical should not be used by persons
weighing more than 350 lbs. (159 kg).
11. 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.
12. Hold the handlebars or the handrails
when mounting, dismounting, or using the
elliptical.
13. The heart rate monitor is not a medical
device. Various factors may affect the accu-
racy of heart rate readings. The heart rate
monitor is intended only as an exercise aid in
determining heart rate trends in general.
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
of breath, or if you experience pain while
exercising, stop immediately and cool down.

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. If
you do not do this, you may damage the console
displays or other electronic components.
Plug the power
adapter into the
receptacle on the
frame of the ellipti-
cal. Then, plug
the power adapter
into an appropriate
outlet that is properly
installed in accor-
dance with all local codes and ordinances.
HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL
Due to the size and weight of the elliptical, mov-
ing it requires two persons. Have a second person
place one foot against one of the wheels. Grip the
handle and lift the frame 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
beneath the front of
the frame until the
rocking motion is
eliminated.
HOW TO ADJUST THE STRIDE OF THE ELLIPTICAL
To adjust the stride of the elliptical, turn the adjustment
knobs clockwise or counterclockwise. Make sure that
both adjustment knobs are at the same setting.

HOW TO ADJUST THE POSITIONS OF THE
PEDALS
Each pedal can be adjusted to several positions.
To adjust each pedal, simply pull the pedal handle
outward, move the pedal to the desired position, and
then release the pedal handle into an adjustment hole
beneath the pedal. Make sure to adjust both pedals
to the same position.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
To mount the elliptical, hold the handlebars and step
onto the pedal 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 recommended 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 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 stationary,
step off the higher pedal first. Then, step off the lower
pedal.
