IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precau-
tions before using the elliptical exerciser.
1. Read all instructions in this manual and all
warnings on the elliptical exerciser before
using the elliptical exerciser. Use the ellipti-
cal exercise only as described in this
manual.
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the elliptical exerciser are
adequately informed of all precautions.
3. The elliptical exerciser is intended for
home use only. Do not use the elliptical
exerciser in a commercial, rental, or institu-
tional setting.
4. 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 enough clearance
around the elliptical exerciser to mount, dis-
mount, and use it.
5. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-
larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
6. Keep children under age 12 and pets away
from the elliptical exerciser at all times.

using the elliptical exerciser. Always wear
athletic shoes for foot protection while exer-
cising.
9. Hold the handgrip pulse sensors or the upper
body arms when mounting, dismounting, or
using the elliptical exerciser.
10. 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.
11. Keep your back straight while using the ellip-
tical exerciser; do not arch your back.
12. If you feel pain or dizziness while exercising,
stop immediately and cool down.
13. When you stop exercising, allow the pedals
to slowly come to a stop.
14. The warning decals shown on page 4 have
been placed on the elliptical exerciser in the
locations shown. If a decal is missing or
illegible, call the toll-free telephone number
on the front cover of this manual and order
a free replacement decal. Apply the decal in

lems. Read all instructions before using. ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or
