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 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. When connecting the power cord, plug the
power cord into a grounded circuit. To avoid
overloading the circuit, do not plug other
electrical devices, except for low-power
devices such as cell phone chargers, into an
outlet on the same circuit.
10. 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.
11. Do not operate the elliptical if the power cord
or plug is damaged, or if the elliptical is not
working properly.
12. Always unplug the power cord and switch
the power switch to the off position when the
elliptical is not in use.
13. DANGER: Always unplug the power
cord 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 300 lbs. (136 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 or the upper body arms
when mounting, dismounting, or using the
elliptical.
17. 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.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-
tion 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
into an
appropriate
outlet 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 may
be used to
connect the
power cord
to a 2-pole
receptacle
as shown
at the right
if a properly
grounded
outlet is not
available.
The lug or wire extending from the adapter must
be connected with a metal screw 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-
fied electrician to determine whether the outlet
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
qualified electrician.
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 FOLD AND UNFOLD THE ELLIPTICAL
When the ellipti-
cal is not in use,
the frame can
be folded out of
the way. First, lift
the latch under
each pedal arm,
and lift the pedal
arms off the
sleeves on the
crank arms.
Next, raise the pedal arms until the magnets on the
pedal arms touch the handlebars; the magnets will hold
the pedal arms in place. Then, hold the handle and lift
the frame until it locks in a vertical position.
To use the elliptical, first hold the handle, press the
latch button, and lower the frame.
Next, pull the magnets on the pedal arms off the han-
dlebars. Then, lift the latches under the pedal arms,
and set the pedal arms on the sleeves on the crank
arms. Release the latches, and make sure that the
pedal arms are securely connected to the crank arms.
HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL
To move the elliptical, first fold it as described at
the left. Next, stand in front of the elliptical, hold the
upright, and place one foot against one of the wheels.
Pull the upright until the elliptical rolls on the wheels.
With the help of a second person, carefully move the
elliptical to the desired location, and then lower it to the
floor.
