I malfunction 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

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 while the ramp moves to the highest position and then returns to the lowest position.

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.

Handlebar

A temporary adapter may be used to connect the power cord to a 2-pole receptacle as shown at the right if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.

Pedals

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 ped

als are stationary, step off the highest pedal first. Then, step of

f the lowest pedal.
