WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and
instructions in this manual and all warnings on your elliptical exerciser before using your elliptical
exerciser. ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
1. Before beginning any exercise program,
consult your physician. This is especially
important for persons over the age of 35 or
persons with pre-existing health problems.
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the elliptical exerciser are
adequately informed of all precautions.
3. Your elliptical exerciser is intended for
home use only. Do not use your elliptical
exerciser in a commercial, rental, or institu-
tional setting.
4. Keep your elliptical exerciser indoors, away
from moisture and dust. Place your elliptical
exerciser on a level surface, with a mat
beneath it to protect the floor or carpet.
Make sure that there is enough clearance
around your elliptical exerciser to mount,
dismount, and use it.
5. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-
larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
6. Keep children under age 12 and pets away
from your elliptical exerciser at all times.
7. Your elliptical exerciser should not be used
by persons weighing more than 250 lbs.
(113 kg).
8. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when
exercising; do not wear loose clothes that
could become caught on your elliptical exer-
ciser. Always wear athletic shoes for foot
protection.
9. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor or the han-
dlebars when mounting, dismounting, or
using your elliptical exerciser.
10. Keep your back straight while using your
elliptical exerciser; do not arch your back.
11. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors, including the user’s move-
ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
readings. The pulse sensor is intended only
as an exercise aid in determining heart rate
trends in general.
12. When you stop exercising, allow the pedals
to slowly come to a stop.
13. If you feel pain or dizziness while exercis-
ing, stop immediately and cool down.
14. Use your elliptical exerciser only as
described in this manual.

ASSEMBLY
To hire an authorized service technician to assemble the elliptical exerciser, call 1-800-445-2480.
Assembly requires two persons. Place all parts of the elliptical exerciser in a cleared area and remove all
packing materials; do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Assembly requires the
included hex keys and your own adjustable wrench , Phillips screwdriver ,
and rubber mallet .
As you assemble the elliptical exerciser, use the drawings below to identify small parts. The number in parenthe-
ses below each drawing is the key number of the part, from the PART LIST near the end of this manual. The
number following the parentheses is the quantity needed for assembly. Note: Some small parts may have
been preassembled. If a part is not in the parts bag, check to see if it has been preassembled.

to room temperature before inserting batteries
into the Console. If you do not do this, the con-
sole displays or other electronic components
may become damaged. Remove the battery cover
from the Console, and insert four batteries into the
Console. Make sure that the batteries are orient-
ed as shown by the markings on the battery
cover. Then, reattach the battery cover.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
EXERCISER
To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the handles on
the console or the handlebars and step onto the pedal
that is in the lowest position. Then, step onto the other
pedal. Push the pedals until they begin to move with a
continuous motion. Note: The pedal discs can turn
in either direction. It is recommended that you
move the pedal discs in the direction shown by
the arrow; however, for variety, you can turn the
pedal discs in the opposite direction.
To dismount the elliptical exerciser, wait until the ped-
als come to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical
exerciser does not have a free wheel; the pedals
will continue to move until the flywheel stops.
When the pedals are stationary, step off the highest
pedal first. Then, step off the lowest pedal.
The handlebars are designed to add upper-body exer-
cise to your workouts. As you exercise, push and pull
the handlebars to work your arms, shoulders, and
back.

HOW TO USE THE CONSOLE
1. Turn on the console.
Note: The console requires four 1.5V “D” batteries
(see assembly step 3 on page 6). If there is a
sheet of clear plastic on the face of the console,
peel off the plastic.
To turn on the console, press the increase button
or begin pedaling.
2. Change the resistance of the pedals as
desired.
As you pedal,
change the resis-
tance of the ped-
als by pressing the
increase or
decrease button.
There are ten
resistance levels. The selected resistance level will
be shown in the upper display. Note: After a button
is pressed, it will take a moment for the pedals to
reach the selected resistance level.
3. Follow your progress with the displays.
As you exercise,
the lower left dis-
play can show the
elapsed time and
the distance (total
number of revolu-
tions) that you have pedaled.
The lower right
display can show
your pedaling
speed (in revolu-
tions per minute)
and the approxi-
mate number of calories you have burned. When
you use the handgrip pulse sensor, the lower right
display will also show your heart rate (see step 4
on page 11).
