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 12 and pets away from
the elliptical exerciser at all times.
7. The elliptical exerciser should not be used
by persons weighing more than 325 pounds.
8. Wear appropriate exercise clothes while
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
the location shown.
WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician.
This is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health prob-
lems. Read all instructions before using. ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or
property damage sustained by or through the use of this product.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
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 ground-
ed in accordance with all local codes and ordi-
nances. This product is for use on a nominal 120-
volt circuit. Important: The elliptical crosstrainer
is not compatible with GFCI-equipped outlets.
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 temporary adapter should be used only
until a properly 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 outlet box
covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec-
trician to determine if the outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.
HOW TO FOLD AND UNFOLD THE ELLIPTICAL
EXERCISER
When the elliptical exerciser 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 they touch the magnets
on the upper body legs; 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 exerciser, first hold the handle,
press the latch button, and lower the frame.
Next, pull the pedal arms off the magnets on the upper
body legs. 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.

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.
