hrough the use of this product.

t

consult your physician. This is especially
important for persons over age 35 or per­sons with pre-existing health problems.

that all users of the elliptical exerciser are
adequately informed of all precautions.

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

4. Keep your elliptical exerciser indoors, away

sure that there is at least 3 ft. (0.9 m) of clear­ance in the front and rear of your elliptical
exerciser and 2 ft. (0.6 m) on each side.

11. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors, including the userʼs move­ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate

as an exercise aid in determining heart rate
trends in general.

12. When you stop exercising, allow the pedals
to slowly come to a stop.

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