this product.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
1. Before beginning any exercise program,
consult 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
moisture and dust. Do not put the elliptical in
a garage or covered patio, or near water.
6. 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 dam-
age, place a mat under the elliptical.
7. Inspect and properly tighten all parts
regularly. Replace any worn parts
immediately.
8. Keep children under age 12 and pets away
from the elliptical at all times.
9. The elliptical should not be used by persons
weighing more than 350 lbs. (159 kg).
10. 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.
11. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor or the
handlebars when mounting, dismounting, or
using the elliptical.
12. 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.
13. The elliptical does not have a freewheel; the
pedals will continue to move until the
flywheel stops. Reduce your pedaling speed
in a controlled way.
14. Keep your back straight while using the
elliptical; do not arch your back.
15. 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.
