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. 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 only as described in this
manual.
3. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the elliptical are adequately
informed of all precautions.
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 330 lbs. (150 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 or if you experience
pain while exercising, stop immediately and

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL
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
frame of the ellipti-
cal. Next, plug the
power adapter into
the plug adapter.
Then, plug the
plug adapter
into an appropri-
ate outlet that is
properly installed
in accordance with
all local codes and
ordinances.
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL
If the elliptical
rocks slightly on
your floor during
use, turn one or
both of the level-
ing feet beneath
the rear of the
frame until the
rocking motion is
eliminated.
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 CHANGE THE INCLINE OF THE RAMP
To vary the motion of the pedals, you can change the
incline of the ramp. To raise the ramp, simply pull the
ramp handle upward to the desired incline level.
To lower the ramp, press the latch button, pull the ramp
handle, and lower the ramp to the desired incline level.
Then, release the latch button and engage the latch
pin into one of the adjustment holes in the frame. Make
sure that the latch pin is firmly engaged in one of
the adjustment holes in the frame.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
To mount the elliptical, hold the handlebars or the
upper body arms and step onto the pedal that is in the
lower position. Then, step onto the other pedal. Push
the pedals until they begin to move with a continuous
motion. Note: The pedals can turn in either direc-
tion. It is recommended that you turn the pedals
in the direction shown by the arrow; however, for
variety, you can turn the pedals in the opposite
direction.
To dismount the elliptical, wait until the pedals come to
a complete stop. Note: The elliptical does not have
a free wheel; the pedals will continue to move until
the flywheel stops. When the pedals are stationary,
step off the higher pedal first. Then, step off the lower
pedal.

CONSOLE DIAGRAM FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers an array of features
designed to make your workouts more effective and
enjoyable.
When you use the manual mode of the console, you
can change the resistance of the pedals with the touch
of a button. While you exercise, the console will display
continuous exercise feedback. You can also measure
your heart rate using the handgrip heart rate monitor or
the optional chest heart rate monitor.
The console offers twenty onboard workouts—ten
calorie workouts and ten performance workouts. Each
workout automatically changes the resistance of the
pedals as it guides you through an effective workout.
The console also features an iFit mode that enables
the console to communicate with your wireless network
through an optional iFit module. With the iFit mode,
you can download personalized workouts, create your
own workouts, track your workout results, race against
other iFit users, and access many other features. To
purchase an iFit module at any time, go to www.
iFit.com or call the telephone number on the front
cover of this manual.
You can even connect your MP3 player or CD player
to the console sound system and listen to your favorite
music or audio books while you exercise.
To use the manual mode, see page 20. To use
an onboard workout, see page 22. To use an iFit
workout, see page 23. To change console set-
tings, see page 24. To use the sound system, see
page 25.
Note: If there is a sheet of plastic on the display,
remove the plastic.

HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the
console to turn on the console.
When you turn on the console, the display will turn
on. The console will then be ready for use.
2. Select the manual mode.
Press the Manual Control button on the console to
select the manual mode.
If a wireless iFit module is not inserted into the con-
sole and connected to iFit, the manual mode will be
selected automatically.
3. Change the resistance of the pedals as desired.
As you pedal, change the resistance of the pedals
by pressing the Resistance increase and decrease
buttons.
Note: After you press a button, it will take a
moment for the pedals to reach the selected resis-
tance level.
4. Follow your progress with the display.
The display can show the following workout
information:
Calories (Cals.)—This display mode will show the
approximate number of calories you have burned.
Calories per Hour (Cals./Hr)—This display mode
will show the approximate number of calories you
are burning per hour.
Distance (Dist.)—This display mode will show
the distance that you have pedaled in miles or
kilometers.
Pulse—This display mode will show your heart rate
when you use the handgrip heart rate monitor or
the optional chest heart rate monitor (see step 5 on
page 21).
Resistance (Resist.)—This display mode will
show the resistance level of the pedals for a few
seconds each time the resistance level changes.
RPM—This display mode will show your pedaling
speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).
Stride—This display mode will show the total num-
ber of strides you have pedaled.
Time—When the manual mode is selected, this
display mode will show the elapsed time. When an
onboard workout is selected, this display mode will
show the time remaining in the workout.
The matrix offers several display tabs. Press the
Display button until the desired tab is shown. You
can also press the increase and decrease buttons
next to the Enter button.
Speed—This tab will show a profile of the speed
settings of the workout. A new segment will appear
at the end of each minute.
My Trail—This tab will show a track that represents
1/4 mile (400 m). As you exercise, the flashing
rectangle will show your progress. The My Trail tab
will also show the number of laps you complete.
Calorie—This tab will show the approximate
amount of calories you have burned. The height of
each segment represents the amount of calories
burned during that segment.
