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 per-
sons with pre-existing health problems.
3. Use the elliptical only as described in this
manual.
4. The elliptical is intended for home use only.
Do not use the elliptical in a commercial,
rental, or institutional setting.
5. Keep the elliptical indoors, away from mois-
ture and dust. Do not put the elliptical in a
garage or covered patio, or near water.
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
side. To protect the floor or carpet from dam-
age, place a mat under the elliptical.
7. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-
larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
8. Keep children under age 12 and pets away
from the elliptical at all times.
9. The elliptical should not be used by persons
weighing more than 300 lbs. (136 kg).
10. Wear appropriate clothes while exercising;

caught on the elliptical. Always wear athletic
shoes for foot protection while exercising.
11. Hold the handlebars or the upper body arms
when mounting, dismounting, or using the
elliptical.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. Keep your back straight while using the ellip-
tical; do not arch your back.
15. 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.

Note: To plug the Power Adapter (119) into an
outlet, see HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER
ADAPTER on page 18.
20. Make sure that all parts are properly tightened before you use the elliptical. Note: Extra parts may be
included. Place a mat beneath the elliptical to protect the floor.

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 front of the ellipti-
cal. 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, and place one foot against one of the
wheels. Pull on the upright and have a second person
lift the handle 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 rear of
the frame until the
rocking motion is
eliminated.
HOW TO USE THE TABLET HOLDER
IMPORTANT: The tablet holder was designed for
use with most full-size tablets. Do not place any
other electronic device or object into the tablet
holder.
To insert a tablet into
the tablet holder, set
the bottom edge of the
tablet in the tray. Make
sure that the tablet is
firmly secured in the
tablet holder. Reverse
these actions to
remove the tablet from
the tablet holder.
