IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read
all important precautions and instructions in this manual and all warnings on your elliptical before
using your elliptical. iFIT assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sus-
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. Keep children under age 16 and pets away
from the elliptical at all times.
3. Consult your health care provider before
beginning any exercise program. This is
especially important for persons over age 35
or persons with pre-existing health problems.
4. Consult your health care provider before
beginning or continuing any exercise pro-
gram during pregnancy. Use the elliptical
only as authorized by your health care
provider.
5. 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.
6. Use the elliptical only as described in this
manual.
7. The elliptical is intended for home use only.
Do not use the elliptical in a commercial,
rental, or institutional setting.
8. Keep the elliptical indoors, away from mois-
ture and dust. Do not put the elliptical in a
garage or covered patio, or near water.
9. 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.
10. Inspect and properly tighten all parts each
time the elliptical is used. Replace any worn
parts immediately. Use only manufacturer-
supplied parts.
11. When connecting the power cord, plug the
power cord into a grounded circuit.
12. 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.
13. Do not operate the elliptical if the power cord
or plug is damaged, or if the elliptical is not
working properly.
14. 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.
15. The elliptical should not be used by persons
weighing more than 300 lbs. (135 kg).
16. 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.
17. Hold the handlebars or the upper body arms
when mounting, dismounting, or using the
elliptical. Before mounting or dismounting,
bring the pedals to a stop with the pedal
on the mounting or dismounting side in its
lowest position.

4
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
18. 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.
19. Keep your back straight while using the
elliptical; do not arch your back.
20. 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.

IMPORTANT: You will connect wires in one or
more of the following steps. For your ellipi-
cal to function properly, connect the wires as
described below. Note: The actual wires may
look different from the wires shown.
First, firmly push the wires (V) into each connec-
tor (W, X) to make sure that the wires are fully
seated.
Next, turn the wires so that the latch (Y) on one
connector (W) is on the same side as the catch
(Z) on the other connector (X). Then, slide the
connectors together; the connectors should
slide together easily and snap into place with
an audible click.
Then, pull on the connectors (W, X) to make
sure that they are connected; do not pull on the
wires (V). To see a video about connecting
wires, scan the QR code or go to my.iFIT.com.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL
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 (A) into
an appropriate
outlet (B) 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 (C) may
be used to con-
nect the power
cord to a 2-pole
receptacle (D)
as shown at the
right if a properly
grounded outlet is
not available.
The lug (E) or wire extending from the adapter must
be connected with a metal screw (F) 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.
B
A
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, mov-
ing it requires two persons. Take any necessary
measures to avoid damaging your floor. Stand in
front of the elliptical, hold the upright (G), and place
one foot against one of the wheels (H). Next, pull on
the upright and have a second person lift the handle (I)
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 LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL
If the elliptical rocks slightly on your floor during use,
turn one or both of the leveling feet (J) beneath the rear
stabilizer or turn the leveling foot (K) under the center
of the frame until the rocking motion is eliminated.
HOW TO ADJUST THE POSITIONS OF THE
PEDALS
Each pedal can be
adjusted to several
positions. To adjust
each pedal, simply
pull the pedal handle
(L) outward, move the
pedal to the desired
position, and then
release the pedal
handle into an adjust-
ment hole beneath the
pedal. Make sure to
adjust both pedals to
the same position.

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
To mount the elliptical, hold the handlebars (M) or
the upper body arms (N) and step onto the pedal (O)
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 direction. 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 (O)
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.
