IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precau-

tions before using the elliptical crosstrainer.

1. Read all instructions in this manual before
using the elliptical crosstrainer.

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

3. The elliptical crosstrainer is intended for
in-home use only. Do not use the elliptical
crosstrainer in any commercial, rental, or
institutional setting.

4. Place the elliptical crosstrainer on a level
surface, with a mat beneath it to protect the
floor or carpet. Keep the elliptical crosstrain­er 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 crosstrainer at all times.

7. The elliptical crosstrainer should not be used
by persons weighing more than 250 pounds.

8. Wear appropriate exercise clothing when
using the elliptical crosstrainer. Always wear
athletic shoes for foot protection.

9. Always hold the handlebar or the upper
body arms when mounting, dismounting, or
using the elliptical crosstrainer.

10. Keep your back straight when using the ellip­tical crosstrainer; do not arch your back.

11. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time
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 crosstrainer does not have a free
wheel; the pedals will continue to move until
the flywheel stops.

14. After adjusting the incline frame, move it up
or down slightly until the pin on the incline
knob snaps into one of the holes in the
incline bracket. Push the incline knob to
make sure that the pin is fully inserted into
the hole.

15. The decal shown below has been placed on
the elliptical crosstrainer. If the decal is
missing or illegible, please call our Customer
Service Department toll-free at 1-888-825­2588 to 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.

ASSEMBLY

Assembly requires two people. Place all parts of the elliptical crosstrainer in a cleared area and remove the
packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. In addition to the two
included allen wrenches, assembly requires a phillips screwdriver , an adjustable
wrench , a rubber mallet , and pliers .

As you assemble the elliptical crosstrainer, use the drawings below to identify the small parts used in assembly.
The number in parenthesis below each drawing refers to the key number of the part, from the PART LIST on
page 22. The second number refers to the quantity used in assembly. Note: Some small parts may have been

pre-attached for shipping. If a part is not in the parts bag, check to see if it has been pre-assembled.

2. Attach the Front Stabilizer (90) to the Frame (1) with
the four M10 x 43mm Button Screws (65) and four
M10 Split Washers (22). Make sure that the Front

Stabilizer is turned so the Wheels (45) are not
touching the floor.

to a paper towel. Rub a thin film of the lubricant onto
the Chrome Tubes (21) on the Left and Right Spring
Arms (3, 4). Next, slide the Left Upper Body Arm (7),
which is marked with a sticker, onto the Chrome Tube
on the Left Spring Arm. Slide the Right Upper Body
Arm (75) onto the Chrome Tube on the Right Spring
Arm. Make sure that the Upper Body Arms are on

the correct sides—the upper ends should bend in
the direction shown by the arrows. Next, slide an

Axle Cover (74) onto the post on each Upper Body Arm.
Apply grease to the Arm Axle (19). Insert the Arm Axle

into the right Axle Cover (74) and the Right Upper Body
Arm (75). Next, insert the Arm Axle into the Upright (2)
until the left end of the Arm Axle is flush with the left
side of the Upright. Then, insert the ArmAxle into the
left Axle Cover (74) and the Left Upper Body Arm (7).

Center the Arm Axle (19). Using the included pedal
tool, tap two Push Nuts (15) about 1/8” onto each end
of the ArmAxle. Make sure that the Push Nuts are
turned as shown in the inset drawing. (Note: It may be
helpful if another person holds a block of wood against
one end of the ArmAxle while you tap Push Nuts onto
the other end.) Then, press an Axle Cap (34) onto each
end of the ArmAxle.
