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 persons
with pre-existing health problems.
3. The elliptical is not intended for use by
persons with reduced physical, sensory, or
mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they are given supervi-

4. Use the elliptical only as described in this
manual.
5. The elliptical is intended for home use only.
Do not use the elliptical in a commercial,

7. 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.
8. Inspect and properly tighten all parts each
time the elliptical is used. Replace any worn
parts immediately.
9. When connecting the power cord, plug the
power cord into a grounded 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. DANGER: Always unplug the power
cord and switch the power switch to the off
position 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.
13. Keep children under age 13 and pets away
from the elliptical at all times.
14. The elliptical should not be used by persons
weighing more than 350 lbs. (159 kg).

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.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

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. 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ed electrician to determine whether the out-
let 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
qualied electrician.
HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL
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 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 (A), and place one foot against one
of the wheels (B). Next, pull on the upright and have a
second person lift the handle (C) until the elliptical will
roll on the wheels. Theh, carefully move the elliptical to
the desired location, and lower it to the floor.
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL
If the elliptical rocks slightly on your floor during use,
turn one or both of the leveling feet (D) beneath the
rear of the frame or turn the leveling foot (F) under
the center of the frame until the rocking motion is
eliminated.
HOW TO USE THE TABLET HOLDER
IMPORTANT: The tablet holder (F) is designed
for use with most full-size tablets. Do not place
any other electronic device or object in the tablet
holder.
To insert a tab-
let into the tablet
holder (F), set the
bottom edge of
the tablet in the
tray. Then, pull the
clip over the top
edge of the tablet.
Make sure that
the tablet is firmly
secured in the
tablet holder. If applicable to your tablet holder model,
rotate and/or pivot the tablet holder to the desired posi-
tion. Reverse these actions to remove the tablet from
the tablet holder.

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
To mount the elliptical, hold the handlebars (G) or the
upper body arms (H) and step onto the pedal (I) that is
in the lower position. Then, step onto the other pedal.
Push the pedals until they begin to move with a con-
tinuous motion. Note: The pedals can turn in either
direction. It is recommended that you turn the ped-
als 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 (I) 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 station-
ary, step off the higher pedal first. Then, step off the
lower pedal.

the console to connect to iFit. With iFit, you can access
a large and varied workout library, create your own
workouts, track your workout results, and access many
other features.
In addition, the console features a selection of onboard
workouts. Each workout automatically controls the

it guides you through an effective exercise session.
When you use the manual mode of the console, you
can change the resistance of the pedals and the incline
of the ramp with the touch of a button.
While you exercise, the console will display continu-
ous exercise feedback. You can also measure your
heart rate using the handgrip heart rate monitor or an
optional chest heart rate monitor (see page 30
for more information).
You can also listen to your favorite workout music or
audio books with the console sound system while you
exercise.
To turn on the power, see page 21. To learn how
to use the touch screen, see page 21. To set up
the console, see page 22.
