Read the entire User Manual before setting up the Total-Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer.

Note: This Total Body Elliptical Cross-Trainer is speed independent. Resistance
can be adjusted by means other than speed.

DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can

result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualied electrician or service-man

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 t the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualied electrician.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS (E5 ONLY)

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, ground­ing provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped 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 all local codes and ordinances.

ElEctrical powEr rEquirEmEnts (E5 only)

Most Life Fitness Cross-Trainers are intended for use on a normal 120 volt circuit in the United States and Canada. Below
is a table that provides the current rating for this product based on supply voltage. Make sure that the cross-trainer model
supports the proper line voltage for the installation location before plugging into the outlet. Line voltage is noted on the
product’s serial label.
