IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

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

tions before using the elliptical exerciser.

1. Read all instructions in this manual and all
warnings on the elliptical exerciser before
using the elliptical exerciser.

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.

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 12 and pets away from
the elliptical exerciser at all times.

7. The elliptical exerciser should not be used
by persons weighing more than 250 pounds
(113 kg).

8. Wear appropriate exercise clothes when
using the elliptical exerciser. Always wear
athletic shoes for foot protection while exer­cising.

9. When mounting and dismounting the ellipti­cal exerciser, always hold the handlebars
and step onto and off the pedal that is in the
lowest position.

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.

11. Keep your back straight when 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.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Thank you for selecting the new PROFORM®470 HR

knees and ankles. Welcome to a whole new world of
natural, elliptical-motion exercise.

For your benefit, read this manual carefully before
you use the elliptical exerciser. If you have ques-

tions after reading this manual, please see the front
cover of this manual. To help us assist you, note the
product model number and serial number before con­tacting us. The model number is PFEVEL2786.0. The
serial number can be found on a decal attached to the
