IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read

all important precautions and instructions in this manual and all warnings on your elliptical before
using your elliptical. ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sus­tained by or through the use of this product.

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

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

3. Use the elliptical only as described in this
manual.

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

5. Keep the elliptical indoors, away from mois­ture and dust. Do not put the elliptical in a
garage or covered patio, or near water.

6. Place the elliptical on a level surface, with at
least 3 ft. (0.9 m) of clearance in the front and
rear of the elliptical and 2 ft. (0.6 m) on each
side. To protect the floor or carpet from dam­age, place a mat under the elliptical.

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

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

9. When connecting the power cord, plug the
power cord into a grounded circuit. To avoid
overloading the circuit, do not plug other
electrical devices, except for low-power
devices such as cell phone chargers, into an
outlet on the same circuit.

10. Do not modify the power cord or use an
adapter to connect the power cord to an
improper receptacle. Keep the power cord
away from heated surfaces. Do not use an
extension cord.

11. Do not operate the elliptical if the power cord
or plug is damaged, or if the elliptical is not
working properly.

12. Always unplug the power cord and switch
the power switch to the off position when the
elliptical is not in use.

13. DANGER: Always unplug the power

cord when the elliptical is not in use and
before cleaning the elliptical. Servicing other
than the procedures in this manual should
be performed by an authorized service repre­sentative only.

14. The elliptical should not be used by persons
weighing more than 325 lbs. (147 kg).

15. Wear appropriate clothes while exercising;
do not wear loose clothes that could become
caught on the elliptical. Always wear athletic
shoes for foot protection while exercising.

16. Hold the handlebars or the upper body arms
when mounting, dismounting, or using the
elliptical.

17. The heart rate monitor is not a medical
device. Various factors may affect the accu­racy of heart rate readings. The heart rate
monitor is intended only as an exercise aid
in determining heart rate trends in general.

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

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

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