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. Before beginning any exercise program, con-
sult your physician. This is especially important
for persons over age 35 or persons with pre-
existing health problems.
2. Use the elliptical only as described in this
manual.
3. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the elliptical are adequately
informed of all precautions.
4. The elliptical is intended for home use only.
Do not use the elliptical in a commercial, rental,
or institutional setting.
5. Keep the elliptical indoors, away from mois-
ture and dust. Place the elliptical on a level sur-
face, with a mat beneath it to protect the oor
or carpet. Make sure that there is 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.
6. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-
larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
7. Keep children under age 12 and pets away
from the elliptical at all times.
8.The elliptical should not be used by persons
weighing more than 250 lbs. (115 kg).
9. Wear appropriate clothes while exercising;

shoes for foot protection while exercising.
10. Hold the handlebars or the upper body arms
when mounting, dismounting, or using the el-
liptical.
11. 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 determining heart
rate trends in general.
12. The elliptical does not have a freewheel; the
pedals will continue to move until the ywheel
stops. Reduce your pedaling speed in a con-
trolled way.
13. Keep your back straight while using the el-
liptical; do not arch your back.
14. Over exercising may result in serious injury
or death. If you feel faint or if you experience
pain while exercising, stop immediately and
cool down.

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
EXERCISER
To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the upper body
arms 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 may turn the pedal discs
in the opposite direction.
The upper body arms are designed to add upper-

push and pull the upper body arms to work your
arms, shoulders, and back. To focus on lower-body
exercise, hold the upper body arms but do not push
or pull them as you exercise.
To dismount the elliptical exerciser, wait until the
pedals come to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical
exerciser does not have a free wheel; the pedals
willcontinuetomoveuntiltheywheelstops.
When the pedals are stationary, step off the highest
pedalrst.Then,stepoffthelowerpedal.
MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE IF DESIRED
You can measure you heart rate using the
handgrip pulse sensor.
If there are sheets of clear plastic on the metal
contacts on the handgrip pulse sensor, remove
the plastic. In addition, make sure that your hands
are clean. To measure your heart rate, hold the
handgrip pulse sensor with your palms resting
against the metal contacts. Avoid moving your
hands or gripping the contacts tightly.
When you are nished exercising
