IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precautions before using the elliptical exerciser.

1.Read all instructions in this manual and all warnings on the elliptical exerciser before using the elliptical exerciser.

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.Wear appropriate exercise clothes when using the elliptical exerciser. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protection.

7.The elliptical exerciser should not be used by persons weighing more than 250 pounds.

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

9.Always hold the handgrip pulse sensor or the handlebars when mounting, dismounting, or using the elliptical exerciser.

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

11.If you feel pain or dizziness while exercising, stop immediately and cool down.

12.The pulse sensor is not a medical device. Various factors 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.

13.When you stop exercising, allow the pedals to slowly come to a complete stop. The elliptical exerciser does not have a free wheel; the pedals will continue to move until the flywheel stops.

WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems. Read all instructions before using. ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or through the use of this product.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER

HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER

Stand in front of the elliptical exerciser, hold the handlebars firmly, and place one foot against one of the wheels. Pull the handlebars until the elliptical exerciser can be moved on the wheels, and carefully move the elliptical exerciser to the desired location. Then, place one foot against a wheel, and lower the elliptical exerciser. Due to the size and weight of the elliptical exerciser, use extreme caution while moving and lowering it.

EXERCISING ON THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER

To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the handgrip pulse sensor and step onto the pedal that is in the lowest position. Next, step onto the other pedal. Push the pedals until they begin to move with a continuous motion.

To dismount the elliptical exerciser, wait until the pedals come to a complete stop. The elliptical exerciser does not have a free wheel; the pedals will continue to move until the flywheel stops. When the pedals are stationary, step off the highest pedal first. Then, step off the lowest pedal.

Note: If there is a sheet of clear plastic on the face of the console, remove it before using the console.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The advanced console offers a selection of features designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and effective. When you use the manual mode of the console, you can change the resistance of the pedals with the touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will provide continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor.

The console also offers eight preset programs that automatically change the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to increase or decrease your pace while guiding you through an effective workout.

In addition, the console features two heart rate programs that automatically change the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to vary your pace to keep your heart rate near a target heart rate while you exercise.

The console also features iFIT.com interactive technology. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a personal trainer in your home. Using a stereo audio cable

(available at electronics stores), you can connect the elliptical exerciser to your portable stereo, home stereo, computer, or VCR and play special iFIT.com CD and video programs (iFIT.com CDs and videocassettes are available separately). iFIT.com programs automatically control the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to vary your pace as a personal trainer coaches you through every step of your workout. High-energy music provides added motivation. To purchase iFIT.com

CDs and videocassettes, call the toll-free telephone number on the front cover of this manual.

With the elliptical exerciser connected to your computer, you can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com and access programs directly from the Internet.

Explore www.iFIT.com for more information.
