instructions in this manual and all warnings on your elliptical exerciser before using your elliptical
exerciser. ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or
through the use of this product.
1. 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.
2. Use the elliptical exerciser only as described
in this manual.
3. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the elliptical exerciser are
adequately informed of all precautions.
4. The elliptical exerciser is intended for
home use only. Do not use the elliptical exer-
ciser in a commercial, rental, or institutional
setting.
5. Keep the elliptical exerciser indoors, away
from moisture and dust. Place the elliptical
exerciser on a level surface, with a mat
beneath it to protect the floor or carpet.
Make sure that there is at least 3 ft. (0.9 m) of
clearance in the front and rear of your ellipti-
cal exerciser and 2 ft. (0.6 m) on each side.
6. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-
larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
7. Keep children under age 12 and pets away
from the elliptical exerciser at all times.
8. The elliptical exerciser should not be used
by persons weighing more than 350 lbs.

do not wear loose clothes that could become
caught on the elliptical exerciser. Always
wear athletic shoes for foot protection while
exercising.
10. Hold the handlebars or the upper body arms
when mounting, dismounting, or using the
elliptical exerciser.
11. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is
intended only as an exercise aid in determin-
ing heart rate trends in general.
12. Keep your back straight while using the
elliptical exerciser; do not arch your back.
13. Over exercising may result in serious injury
or death. If you feel faint or if you experience

Right Pedal Arm (8) with a 5/16" x 1" Patch
Screw (81), a Small Axle Cover (67), and a
5/16" Washer (104).
Repeat this step for the other side of the
elliptical exerciser.
Tip: If you have a hard time working the Link
Arms (10, 11) all the way into the Upper
Body Arms (12) and the Pedal Arms (8, 9),
try working them in halfway and then tight-
ening the 5/16" x 1" Patch Screws (81) to
pull them the rest of the way in.

9. Plug the Power Cord (55) into the power socket
at the rear of the elliptical exerciser (see OW
TO PLUG IN T E POWER CORD on page 10).
IMPORTANT: If the elliptical exerciser has
been exposed to cold temperatures, allow it
to warm to room temperature before plug-
ging in the power cord. If you do not do this,
the console displays or other electronic
components may become damaged.
Note: When you plug in the elliptical exer-
ciser for the first time (see HOW TO PLUG IN
THE POWER CORD on page 10), the Ramp
(not shown) will calibrate automatically. The
Ramp will move upward and downward as it
calibrates. When the Ramp stops moving, the
Ramp is calibrated.
IMPORTANT: If the Ramp (not shown) does
not calibrate automatically, see HOW TO
CALIBRATE THE RAMP on page 20 and
manually calibrate the Ramp.

8. Identify the Right andlebar (31), which is
marked with a “Right” sticker and orient it as
shown. Attach the Right andlebar to the right
Upper Body Arm (12) with two 5/16" x 1.5"
Button Bolts (73) and two 5/16" Locknuts (106).
Make sure that the Locknuts are in the
hexagonal holes.
Repeat this step to attach the Left Handlebar
(7) to the left Upper Body Arm (12).

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. This product is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. Plug the power cord into an appro-
priate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. This product is for use on a nominal
120-volt circuit. IMPORTANT: The elliptical exer-
ciser is not compatible with GFCI-equipped out-
lets.
A temporary
adapter may
be used to
connect the
power cord to
a 2-pole
receptacle as
shown at the
right if a prop-
erly grounded
outlet is not
available. The
temporary adapter should be used only until a prop-
erly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified
electrician.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in
place by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle out-
let box covers are not grounded. Contact a quali-
fied electrician to determine if the outlet box cover
is grounded before using an adapter.
HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
Due to the size and weight of the elliptical exer-
ciser, moving it requires two persons. Stand in
front of the elliptical exerciser, hold the upright, and
place one foot against one of the front wheels. Pull on
the upright and have a second person lift the handle
on the rear of the frame until the elliptical exerciser will
roll on the front wheels. Carefully move the elliptical
exerciser to the desired location, and then lower it to
the floor.
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
If the elliptical exerciser rocks slightly on your floor
during use, turn one or both of the leveling feet
beneath the rear stabilizer until the rocking motion is
eliminated.
DANGER: Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service-
man if you are in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the product—if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
