IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and
instructions in this manual and all warnings on your elliptical before using your elliptical. ICON
assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained 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
damage, 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. Always plug the power adapter into the
elliptical before you plug it into an outlet.
12. The elliptical should not be used by persons
weighing more than 275 lbs. (125 kg).
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. Keep your back straight while using the ellip-
tical; do not arch your back.
17. 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.
