IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: T
tions before using the elliptical exerciser.
1. Read all instructions in this manual 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
in-home use only. Do not use the elliptical
exerciser in a commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
4. Place the elliptical exerciser on a level surface, with a mat beneath it to protect the
floor or carpet. Keep the elliptical exerciser
indoors, away from moisture and dust.
5. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
6. Keep children under age 12 and pets away
from the elliptical exerciser at all times.
7. The elliptical exerciser should not be used
by persons weighing more than 300 pounds.
8. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when
using the elliptical exerciser. Always wear
athletic shoes for foot protection.
9. Always hold the handlebars when mounting,
dismounting, or using the elliptical exerciser.
o reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precau-
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 begin cooling
down.
12. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors, including the user's movement, 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.
14. Always unplug the power cord immediately
after use and before cleaning the elliptical
exerciser.
15. The decals shown on page 4 have been
placed on the elliptical exerciser. If either
decal is missing or illegible, please call our
Customer Service Department toll-free at
1-888-825-2588 and order a free replacement
decal. Apply the decal in the location shown.
WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

or break
down,
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 equipmentgrounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug the
power cord into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances. This product is for
use on a nominal 120-volt circuit. Important: The
elliptical exerciser is not compatible with GFCIequipped outlets.

Grounding Plug
Grounding Pin
DANGER: Improper connection of
the equipment-grounding conductor can result
in an increased 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.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
henever the adapter is used, it must be held in
W
place by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle out-
et box covers are not grounded. Contact a quali-
l
fied electrician to determine if the outlet box cover
is grounded before using an adapter.
Note: When the power cord is plugged in, the elliptical exerciser’s incline system may automatically
calibrate itself. During the calibration process,
three dashes (– – –) will appear in the console display, and the incline ramp will rise to the highest
position and then sink to the lowest position. The
calibration process will last for one to two minutes. If the incline system does not calibrate itself,
see HOW TO CALIBRATE THE INCLINE SYSTEM
on page 21.
EXERCISING ON THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the handlebars
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.

A temporary
adapter may
be used to
connect the
power cord
to a 2-pole
receptacle
as shown at
the right if a

grounded
outlet is not
available. The temporary adapter should be used only
until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician.
