erly installed and grounded in accordance with alt
local codes and ordinances. This product is for
use on a nominal 120-volt circuit. Important: The
elliptical exerciser is not compatible with GFCl-
equipped outlets.
DANGER: improperconnectionof
the equipment=grounding conductor can result
in an increased risk of electric shock, Check
with a qualified electrician or serviceman if
you are in doubt as to whether the product is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the product--if it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qual-
ified electrician.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in
place by a metal screw. Some 2=pole receptacle out-
let box covers are not grounded. Contact a quail=
fled electrician to determine if the outlet box cover
is grounded before using an adapter.
EXERCiSiNG ON THE ELLiPTiCAL EXERCISER

and step onto the pedal that is in the lowest position.
Next, step onto the other pedal. Push the pedals until
they begin to move with a continuous motion.

does not have a free wheel; the pedals will contin=
ue to move until the flywheel stops. When the ped=
als are stationary, step off the highest pedal first.
Then, step off the lowest pedal.
