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. Place the elliptical on a
level surface, with a mat beneath it to protect
the floor or carpet. Make sure that there is at
least 3 ft. (0.9 m) of clearance in the front
and rear of your elliptical and 2 ft. (0.6 m) on
each side.

6. Inspect and properly tighten all parts

regularly. Replace any worn parts
immediately.

7. Keep children under age 12 and pets away

from the elliptical at all times.

8. The elliptical should not be used by persons
weighing more than 325 lbs. (147 kg).

do not wear loose clothes that could become
caught on the elliptical. Always wear athletic
shoes for foot protection while exercising.

10. Hold the handlebars or the upper body arms
when mounting, dismounting, or using the
elliptical.

11. 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.

12. The elliptical does not have a freewheel; the
pedals will continue to move until the
flywheel stops. Reduce your pedaling speed
in a controlled way.
