IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precau-
tions before using the elliptical exerciser.
. Read all instructions in this manual and all
1
warnings on the elliptical exerciser before
using the elliptical exerciser. Use the elliptical exercise only as described in this
manual.
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.
. Wear appropriate exercise clothes while
8
using the elliptical exerciser. Always wear
athletic shoes for foot protection while exercising.
9. Hold the handgrip pulse sensors or the upper
body arms when mounting, dismounting, or
using the elliptical exerciser.
10. 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.
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. 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 325 lbs.
(147 kg).
11. Keep your back straight while using the elliptical exerciser; do not arch your back.
12. If you feel pain or dizziness while exercising,
stop immediately and cool down.
13. When you stop exercising, allow the pedals
to slowly come to a stop.
14. The warning decals shown on page 4 have
been placed on the elliptical exerciser in the
locations shown. If a decal is missing or
illegible, call the toll-free telephone number
on the front cover of this manual and order
a free replacement decal. Apply the decal in
the location shown.
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.

until they begin to move with a continuous motion.
Note: The crank arms can turn in either direction.
It is recommended that you turn the crank arms in
the direction shown by the arrow below; however,
for variety you can turn the crank arms in the
opposite direction.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers an array of features
designed to make your workouts more effective and
enjoyable. When you select the manual mode of the
console, you can change the resistance of the pedals
and the incline of the ramp 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 twenty preset programs. Each
program automatically changes the resistance of the
pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease your
pedaling pace as it guides you through an effective
workout.

During the program, the program profile in the

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical exerciser
regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
To clean the elliptical exerciser, use a damp cloth and
a small amount of mild soap. Important: To avoid
damage to the console, keep liquids away from
the console and keep the console out of direct
sunlight.
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER OR
ELIMINATE FLEXING IN THE FRAME
If the elliptical exerciser rocks on your floor during
use, turn one or both of the Leveling Feet (98) until
the rocking motion is eliminated.

adjust the belt,
first carefully pry

HOW TO ELIMINATE RUBBING OF THE DISCS
See the drawing above. If the Discs (12) rub against
the Side Shields (14, 15) during use, make sure that
the Center Foot (95) is installed in the Frame (1). If the
Center Foot is installed, loosen the two indicated Bolt

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.
The following guidelines will help you to plan your
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition
and adequate rest are essential for successful results.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.
The proper intensity level can be found by using your
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recommended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat
burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.
For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the middle number in your training zone as you exercise.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen
for prolonged periods of time. This increases the
demand on the heart to pump blood to the muscles,
and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until
your heart rate is near the highest number in your
training zone as you exercise.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your
body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.
o find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
T
at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the
nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers above
your age.
The lower two numbers are recommended heart rates
for fat burning; the highest number is the recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Fat Burning
o burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative-
T
ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
The three numbers are your “training zone.”
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heart rate in your training
zone. Note: During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your heart rate in your
training zone for longer than 20 minutes.
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This
will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will
help to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
o maintain or improve your condition, complete three
T
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each week
if desired.
