IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and

instructions in this manual and all warnings on your elliptical exerciser before using your elliptical
exerciser. FreeMotion Fitness assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage

ustained by or through the use of this product.

s

1. Before beginning any exercise program,
consult your physician. This is especially
important for persons over the age of 35 or
persons with pre-existing health problems.

2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the elliptical exerciser are
adequately informed of all precautions.

3. The elliptical exerciser is intended for home
use only. Do not use the elliptical exerciser
in a commercial, rental, or institutional
setting.

4. Keep the elliptical exerciser indoors, away
from moisture and dust. Place the elliptical
exerciser on a level surface, with a mat
beneath it to protect the floor or carpet.
Make sure that there is enough clearance
around the elliptical exerciser to mount,
dismount, and use it.

5. Inspect and properly tighten all parts
regularly. Replace any worn parts
immediately.

6. Keep children under age 12 and pets away
from the elliptical exerciser at all times.

7. The elliptical exerciser should not be used
by persons weighing more than 350 lbs.
(159 kg).

8. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when
exercising; do not wear loose clothes that
could become caught on the elliptical
exerciser. Always wear athletic shoes for
foot protection.

9. Hold the handles on the console or the
handlebars when mounting, dismounting, or
using the elliptical exerciser.

10. Keep your back straight while using the
elliptical exerciser; do not arch your back.

11. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors, including the userʼs
movement, 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.

12. The elliptical exerciser does not have a
freewheel; the pedals will continue to move
until the flywheel stops. Reduce your
pedaling speed in a controlled way.

13. Over exercising may result in serious injury
or death. If you feel faint or if you experience
pain while exercising, stop immediately and
