IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precau-
tions before using the elliptical crosstrainer.
1. Read all instructions in this manual before
using the elliptical crosstrainer.
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the elliptical crosstrainer
are adequately informed of all precautions.
3. The elliptical crosstrainer is intended for
home use only. Do not use the elliptical
crosstrainer in a commercial, rental, or insti-
tutional setting.
4. Place the elliptical crosstrainer on a level
surface, with a mat beneath it to protect the
floor or carpet. Keep the elliptical crosstrain-
er indoors, away from moisture and dust.
5. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-
larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
6. Keep children under 12 and pets away from
the elliptical crosstrainer at all times.
7. The elliptical crosstrainer should not be used
by persons weighing more than 250 pounds.
8. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when
using the elliptical crosstrainer. Always wear
athletic shoes for foot protection while exer-
cising.
9. Hold the left and right handlebars when
mounting, dismounting, or using the elliptical
crosstrainer.
10. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is
intended only as an exercise aid in determin-
ing heart rate trends in general.
11. Keep your back straight when using the ellip-
tical crosstrainer; do not arch your back.
12. If you feel pain or dizziness while exercis-
ing, stop immediately and cool down.
13. When you stop exercising, allow the pedals
to slowly come to a complete stop. The ellip-
tical crosstrainer does not have a free

the flywheel stops.
14. The decal shown below has been placed on
the elliptical crosstrainer. If the decal is
missing or illegible, please call our
Customer Service Department toll-free at
1-800-999-3756 and order a free replacement

lems. Read all instructions before using. ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or
property damage sustained by or through the use of this product.

indicated tab on the battery drawer and pull the bat-
tery drawer down. Press four batteries into the battery
clips; make sure that the batteries are oriented as
shown by the markings inside of the battery clips.
Then, close the battery drawer.
Note: The Console (5) can be operated with an optional
power supply instead of batteries. To order a power
supply, call toll-free 1-800-999-3756. Plug one end
of the power supply into the jack at the rear of the
elliptical crosstrainer (see the inset drawing). Plug the
other end of the power supply into an appropriate out-
let that is properly installed in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
13. Make sure that all parts of the elliptical crosstrainer are properly tightened. Note: Some hardware may
be left over after assembly is completed. To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat under the
elliptical crosstrainer.
11. Attach the Left Handlebar Cover (109) to the Console
(5) with three M4 x 16mm Screws (66). Do not over-
tighten the Screws; overtightening the Screws may
cause the Console to malfunction. Attach the Right

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
CROSSTRAINER
To mount the elliptical crosstrainer, hold 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 crank arms (inside of the side shields) can be
turned in either direction. It is recommended that
you turn the crank arms in the same direction that
you pedal a bicycle; however, for variety, you can
turn the crank arms in the opposite direction.
To dismount the elliptical crosstrainer, wait until the
pedals come to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical
crosstrainer does not have a free wheel; the ped-
als 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.
HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDALS
The motion of
the pedals is
determined by
their positions on
the flex bars.
There are five
positions. To
adjust each
pedal, first
loosen the knob
beneath the
pedal. Next,
push the bolt
upward, slide the pedal forward or backward to the
desired position, and then retighten the knob. Make
sure that both pedals are in the same position.
