GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
If your elliptical has power incline with a 3-prong plug, you must follow these
grounding instructions.
This product must be grounded. If a elliptical should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of
electrical shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances.
Connect this exercise product to a properly grounded outlet only. Never operate
product with a damaged cord or plug even if it is working properly. Never operate
any product if it appears damaged, or has been immersed in water.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a 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
qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a
nominal 110-120 Volt circuit
and has a grounding plug
that looks like the plug in the
illustration. Make sure that
the product is connected to
an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug.
No adapter should be used
with this product.
This product must be used on a dedicated circuit. To determine if you are on a
dedicated circuit, shut off the power to that circuit and observe if any other devices
lose power. If so, move devices to a different circuit. Note: There are usually multiple
outlets on one circuit. This elliptical should be used with a minimum 15-amp circuit.

PLACEMENT IN YOUR HOME
Please follow the safety instructions to place the Suspension Elliptical Trainer in the
location where it will best be used. It is important that you place your Suspension
Elliptical Trainer in a comfortable and inviting room. Avoid putting your Suspension
Elliptical Trainer in an unfinished basement or undesirable setting. Exercise adherence
will be easier to achieve only if you exercise in an attractive setting.
STABILIZING THE
SUSPENSION ELLIPTICAL
TRAINER
After positioning the Suspension
Elliptical Trainer in its intended location,
check the unit’s stability. Rocking or
wobbling indicates that your Suspension
Elliptical Trainer needs to be leveled.
Determine which leveler is not resting
completely on the floor. Loosen the nut
at the base of the leveler to allow the
leveler to rotate. Now rotate the leveler
to the left or right until the Suspension
Elliptical Trainer is stable. Lock the
adjustment by tightening the nut against
the support tube.
TURNING THE UNIT ON AND
OFF
Use the power switch on the front of the
unit to turn the machine ON and OFF. It
is recommended to turn the machine off
when not in use.
NOTE:You can also turn the power off
at the console.

CONTACT HEART RATE
HAND PULSE HEART RATE
SENSORS
The Contact Hand Pulse Sensors are
included on each product to monitor
your heart rate. To use, grasp both of
the sensors with a comfortable grip
during your workout. The console will
display your heart rate. It may take
the system a few seconds to zero in
on your actual heart rate. Most people
have a grip that is conductive enough
to transmit a good signal. However,
some people have erratic heart rates or
improper body chemistry to transmit a
good signal through the touch sensitive
hand pulse grips.
