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

nstructions in this manual and all warnings on your elliptical before using your elliptical. ICON

i
assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or through the use of
this product.

1. Before beginning any exercise program,
consult your physician. This is especially
important for persons over age 35 or
persons with pre-existing health problems.

2. Use the elliptical only as described in this
manual.

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

4. The elliptical is intended for home use only.
Do not use the elliptical in a commercial,
rental, or institutional setting.

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

6. Place the elliptical on a level surface, with at
least 3 ft. (0.9 m) of clearance in the front
and rear of the elliptical and 2 ft. (0.6 m) on
each side. To protect the floor or carpet from
damage, place a mat under the elliptical.

9. The elliptical should not be used by persons
weighing more than 300 lbs. (136 kg).

Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is

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