IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read
all important precautions and instructions in this manual and all warnings on your elliptical before
using your elliptical. FreeMotion Fitness assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property
damage sustained by or through the use of this product.
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the elliptical are adequately
informed of all precautions.
2. Before beginning any exercise program,
consult your physician. This is especially
important for persons over age 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.
3. Use the elliptical only as described in this
manual.
4. Keep the elliptical indoors, away from moisture and dust. Do not put the elliptical in a
garage or covered patio, or near water.
5. 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 damage, place a mat under the elliptical.
6. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
7. Keep children under age 12 and pets away
from the elliptical at all times.
8. When connecting the power cord (see
page 7), plug the power cord into a
grounded circuit.
11. DANGER: Always unplug the power
cord and switch the power switch to the off
position when the elliptical is not in use and
before cleaning the elliptical. Servicing other
than the procedures in this manual should
be performed by an authorized service representative only.
12. The elliptical should not be used by persons
weighing more than 400 lbs. (181 kg).
13. 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.
14. Hold the handlebars or the upper body arms
when mounting, dismounting, or using the
elliptical.
15. The heart rate monitor is not a medical
device. Various factors may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The heart rate
monitor is intended only as an exercise aid
in determining heart rate trends in general.
16. 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.
9. Do not modify the power cord or use an
adapter to connect the power cord to an
improper receptacle. Keep the power cord
away from heated surfaces. Do not use an
extension cord.
10. Do not operate the elliptical if the power cord
or plug is damaged, or if the elliptical is not
working properly.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
17. Keep your back straight while using the elliptical; do not arch your back.
18. 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 USE THE ELLIPTICAL
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of
electric shock. The power cord has a plug with a
grounding pin.
DANGER: Improper connection of
the power cord increases the risk of electric
shock. Do not modify the plug—if it will not fit
an outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician. If you are unsure whether
the product is properly grounded, contact a
qualified electrician.
Plug the
power cord
into an
appropriate
outlet that
is properly
installed and
grounded in
accordance
with all local
codes and
ordinances.
The outlet must be on a nominal 120-volt circuit.
Grounded Outlet
Grounding Pin
A temporary
adapter may
be used to
connect the
power cord
to a 2-pole
receptacle
as shown
at the right
if a properly
grounded
outlet is not
available.
The lug or wire extending from the adapter must
be connected with a metal screw to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box covers are not
grounded. Before using an adapter, contact a qualified electrician to determine whether the outlet
box cover is grounded before using an adapter.
The temporary adapter should be used only until
a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician.

HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
Due to the size and weight of the elliptical, moving it requires two persons. Remove the rear frame
cover. Stand in front of the elliptical, hold the upright,
and place one foot against one of the wheels. Pull on
the upright and have a second person lift the rear of
the frame until the elliptical will roll on the front wheels.
Carefully move the elliptical to the desired location, and
then lower it to the floor.

To mount the elliptical, hold the upper body arms or
the handlebars and step onto the pedal that is in the
lower position. Then, step onto the other pedal. Push
the pedals until they begin to move with a continuous
motion. Note: The crank arms can turn in either
direction. It is recommended that you turn the
crank arms in the direction shown by the arrow;
however, for variety, you can turn the crank arms in
the opposite direction.

HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL
If the elliptical rocks slightly on your floor during use,
turn one or both of the leveling feet beneath the rear
stabilizer until the rocking motion is eliminated.
To dismount the elliptical, wait until the pedals come to
a complete stop. Note: The elliptical does not have
a free wheel; the pedals will continue to move until
the flywheel stops. When the pedals are stationary,
step off the higher pedal first. Then, step off the lower
pedal.

HOW TO CONNECT A CATV CABLE
WARRANTY INFORMATION
If your elliptical has the 17" Digital TV, a CATV
cable must be connected to the elliptical for cable TV
stations to be viewed.
Locate the cable jack on the front of the elliptical.
Connect the CATV cable to the TV Cable (105). Route
the cable so that it will not be pinched or crushed by
the elliptical.
105
A satellite receiver, VCR, or DVD player can also be
connected to the elliptical. Connect a CATV cable from
the coaxial output on your equipment (usually labeled
TV OUT or RF OUT) to the cable jack on the front of
the elliptical.
The warranty for this product does not cover damage
or equipment failure caused by electric wiring not in
compliance with electrical codes or the specifications
in this manual, or failure to provide reasonable and
necessary maintenance as outlined in this manual.
Any failure or damage caused by unauthorized service;
misuse; accident; negligence; improper assembly or
installation; debris resulting from any destruction activities in the product’s environment; rust or corrosion as a
result of the product’s location; alterations or modifications without written authorization; or failure on your
part to use, operate, and maintain the product as set
forth in this manual will void the warranty.
All terms of the warranty are void if this product is moved beyond the continental borders of
the United States of America (excluding Alaska,
Hawaii, and Canada) and are then subject to the
terms provided by that country’s local authorized
FreeMotion Fitness, Inc. representative.
Note: Audio/video equipment without coaxial outputs
(some satellite receivers and DVD players) will require
an RF modulator to work correctly. RF modulators are
not available from FreeMotion Fitness, but are available at electronics stores. See the user’s manual for
the equipment you wish to connect to determine if an
RF modulator is needed, or contact your local audio/
video service provider.
