IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:T

tions before using the elliptical exerciser

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

2. Use t h e elliptical exerciser only as described in this manual.

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

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

5. 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 the elliptical exerciser.

5. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regularly

. Replace any worn parts immediately.

Keep children under age 12 and pets away

6. from the elliptical exerciser at all times.

7. The elliptical exerciser should not be used by persons weighing more than 350 pounds.

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

8. Always hold the handlebars when mounting, dismounting, or using the elliptical exerciser.

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

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

11. If you feel pain or dizziness 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 exerci se 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 exerciser does not have a free wheel; the pedals will continue to move until the flywheel stops.

Always unplug the power cord immediately

14. after use and before cleaning the elliptical exerciser.

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.

I malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipmentgrounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug the

power cord into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit. Important: The elliptical exerciser is not compatible with GFCIequipped outlets.

the equipment-grounding conductor can result in an increased risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product—if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.

henever the adapter is used, it must be held in

W place by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle out-

et box covers are not grounded. Contact a quali-

l fied electrician to determine if the outlet box cover is grounded before using an adapter.

Note: When the power cord is plugged in, the elliptical exerciser’s incline system may automatically calibrate itself. During the calibration process, two dashes (– –) will appear in the Ramp display while the ramp rises to the highest position and then moves down to the lowest position. The calibration process may last for one to two minutes. If the incline system does not calibrate itself, see HOW TO CALIBRATE THE INCLINE SYSTEM on page 22.

EXERCISING ON THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER

To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the handlebars and step onto the pedal that is in the lowest position. Next, step onto the other pedal. Push the pedals until they begin to move with a continuous motion.

A temporary adapter may be used to connect the power cord to a 2-pole receptacle as shown at the right if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The advanced console offers a selection of features designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and effective. When the manual mode of the console is selected, the resistance of the pedals and the angle of the ramp can be changed with the touch of a button. As you pedal, the console will provide continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using the built-in handgrip pulse sensor.

In addition, the console of Each program automatically changes the resistance of the pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease your pace as it guides you through an ef

The console also features two heart rate programs that automatically change the resistance of the pedals to keep your heart rate near a target heart rate as you exercise.

You can even create your own custom workout programs and save them in memory for future use.

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 exerci se aid in determining heart rate trends in general.

The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for successful results.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity. The proper intensity level can be found by using your heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recommended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.

For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the middle number in your training zone as you exercise.

Aerobic Exercise

If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the highest number in your training zone as you exercise.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Each workout should include the following three parts: A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching

and light exercise. Aproper warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.

A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help to prevent post-exercise problems.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY

To maintain or improve your condition, complete three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest between workouts. cise, you may complete up to five workouts each week if desired. The key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
