WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, 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 sustained 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. 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-
sion or instruction about use of the elliptical
by someone responsible for their safety.
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,
rental, or institutional setting.
6. Keep the elliptical indoors, away from mois-
ture and dust. Do not put the elliptical in a
garage or covered patio, or near water.
7. Place the elliptical on a level surface, with at
least 4 ft. (1.2 m) of clearance in the front of
the elliptical, 6 ft. (1.8 m) in the rear, and 2 ft.
(0.6 m) on each side. To protect the floor or
carpet from damage, 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. Keep children under age 13 and pets away
from the elliptical at all times.
10. The elliptical should not be used by persons
weighing more than 325 lbs. (147 kg).
11. 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.
12. Hold the handlebars or the handrails
when mounting, dismounting, or using the
elliptical.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. Keep your back straight while using the ellip-
tical; do not arch your back.
16. Over exercising may result in serious injury
or death. If you feel faint, if you become short
of breath, or if you experience pain while
exercising, stop immediately and cool down.
