WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and

instructions in this manual and all warnings on your exercise bike before using your exercise bike.
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 exercise bike are
adequately informed of all precautions.

2. Before beginning any exercise program,
consult your physician. This is especially

only. Do not use the exercise bike in a com­mercial, rental, or institutional setting.

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

6. Place the exercise bike on a level surface,
with a mat beneath it to protect the floor or
carpet. Make sure that there is at least 2 ft.
(0.6 m) of clearance around the exercise bike.

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

8. Keep children under age 12 and pets away

in a controlled way.

14. To stop the flywheel quickly, press the
resistance knob downward.

15. When the exercise bike is not in use, tighten
the resistance knob completely to prevent
the flywheel from moving.

16. To avoid damaging the brake pads, do not
