PRECAUTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this elliptical. When using an electrical product, basic precautions
should always be followed, including the following: Read all instructions before using this elliptical. It
is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of this elliptical are adequately informed of
all warnings and precautions. If you have any questions after reading this manual, contact Customer
Tech Support at the number listed on the back panel of this manual.
IM PO RTANT PRECAUTIONS
At NO time should pets or children under the age of 12 be closer to the elliptical
than 10 feet. At NO time should children under the age of 12 use the elliptical.
Children over the age of 12 should not use the elliptical without adult supervision.
It is essential that your elliptical is used only indoors, in a climate controlled room. If your elliptical
has been exposed to colder temperatures or high moisture climates, it is strongly recommended that
the elliptical is warmed up to room temperature before first time use. Failure to do so may cause
premature electronic failure.
To reduce the risk of burns, fire,
electrical shock or injury to persons:
Connect this exercise product to a properly grounded outlet only.
See grounding instructions.
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-volt circuit and
has a grounding plug that looks like the illustration to the
right. 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. It
is recommended that the elliptical be used with a 15 amp
circuit for optimal performance.

strongly recommended that your elliptical is plugged into a dedicated 15 amp
circuit, without the use of an additional extension cord and/or power strip.
Failure to comply may void the warranty.
• If you experience any kind of pain, including, but not limited to chest pains, nausea, dizziness, or
shortness of breath, stop exercising immediately and consult your physician before continuing.
• Maintain a comfortable pace. Do not sprint above 80 rpms.
• To maintain balance, it is recommended to keep a grip on the handlebars while exercising, mounting or
dismounting the machine.
• Do not wear clothes that might catch on any part of the elliptical.
• Do not turn pedal arms by hand.
• Make sure handlebars are secure before each use.
• Do not insert or drop any object into any opening.
• Unplug elliptical before moving or cleaning it. To clean, wipe surfaces down with soap and slightly damp
cloth only; never use solvents. (See MAINTENANCE)
• This elliptical should not be used by persons weighing more than 300 pounds. Failure to comply will void
the warranty.
• This elliptical is intended for in-home use only. Do not use this elliptical in any commercial, rental, school

porches, pool rooms, bathrooms, car ports or outdoors. Failure to comply may void the warranty.
• Use the elliptical only as described in this manual.
• Keep the topside of the foot support clean and dry.

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.
