IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1) Before starting this or any other exercise
program, consult your physician, who can assist you in determining the target heart rate zone appropriate for your age and physical condition. Certain exercise programs or types of equipment may not be appropriate for all people. This is especially important for people over the age of 35, pregnant women, or those with pre-existing health problems or balance impairments.
2) Monitor your heart rate while you exercise and
keep your estimated pulse rate within your target heart rate zone. Follow the instructions on pages 18 – 20 in this manual regarding heart rate moni­toring and how to determine your appropriate target heart rate zone. When used properly, the heart rate pulse sensors and display monitor provide a reasonably accurate estimate of your actual heart rate. This estimate is not exact and persons with medical conditions and/or a specific need for accurate heart rate monitoring should not rely on the estimations provided.
3) Warm up before any exercise program by doing
5 - 10 minutes of aerobic activity, followed by stretching.

Storing Directions
Your elliptical trainer is lightweight, compact and portable. It can be easily moved from place to place.
• Unplug your elliptical trainer.
• Stand in front of the elliptical trainer and make sure that the dual-action handlebars are even. They are even when one foot platform is at the top of the elliptical disc and the other is at the bottom.
• Grasp the stationary handlebars and pull back, tipping the elliptical trainer towards you until it is resting on the transportation wheels/front rollers.
• Wheel the elliptical trainer to its new location and store in an upright position.
Care Directions
Your Elliptical Trainer has been carefully designed to require minimum maintenance. However, we recommend the following to keep your trainer operating smoothly.
• Unplug your elliptical trainer when it is not in use.
• Use your elliptical trainer indoors only.
• Wipe all perspiration from your elliptical trainer with a soft, clean cloth after each use to prevent an accumulation of sweat and dirt.
• Clean your elliptical trainer on a regular basis to prevent a build-up of dust. Use Windex or an alcohol based cleanser on a clean cloth. Do not use any abrasive cleaners and/or polish as these will damage the surface.
• Store your elliptical trainer in a dry area away from children and high traffic areas.
• Regularly check the tightness of nuts and bolts.
