ting.

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 at least 3 ft. (1 m) of

cal exerciser and 2 ft. (0.6 m) on each side.

larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

Various factors, including the userʼs move-
ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Thank you for selecting the new PROFORM®480 CSE
elliptical exerciser. The 480 CSE is a smooth exerciser
that moves your feet in a natural elliptical path, mini-
mizing the impact on your knees and ankles.
For your benefit, read this manual carefully before
you use the elliptical exerciser. If you have ques-
tions after reading this manual, please see the front
cover of this manual. To help us assist you, note the
product model number and serial number before con-
tacting us. The model number and the location of the
serial number decal are shown on the front cover of
this manual.
To avoid a registration fee for any service needed
under warranty, you must register the elliptical
exerciser at www.proformservice.com/registration.
