this manual.
4. The incline trainer is intended for home use 
only. Do not use the incline trainer in any

water.
6. Place the incline trainer on a level surface, 
with at least 8 ft. (2.4 m) of clearance behind 
it and 2 ft. (0.6 m) on each side. Do not place 
the incline trainer on any surface that blocks 
air openings. To protect the floor or carpet
