I PORTANT PRECAUTIONS

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

tions before using the elliptical crosstrainer.

1. Read all instructions in this manual before

using the elliptical crosstrainer.

2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure

that all users of the elliptical crosstrainer

are adequately informed of all precautions.

3. The elliptical crosstrainer is intended for

in-home use only. Do not use the elliptical

crosstrainer in any commercial, rental, or

institutional setting.

4. Place the elliptical crosstrainer on a level

surface, with a mat beneath it to protect the

floor or carpet. Keep the elliptical crosstrain-

er indoors, away from moisture and dust.

5. Inspect and tighten all parts regularly.

Replace any worn parts immediately.

6. Keep children under age 12 and pets away

from the elliptical crosstrainer at all times.

7. The elliptical crosstrainer should not be used

by persons weighing more than 250 pounds.

8. Wear appropriate exercise clothing when

using the elliptical crosstrainer. Always wear

athletic shoes for foot protection.

9. Always hold the handlebar or the upper

body arms when mounting, dismounting, or

using the elliptical crosstrainer.

10. Keep your back straight when using the ellip-

tical crosstrainer. Do not arch your back.

11. If you feel pain or dizziness while exercis-

ing, stop immediately and cool down.

12. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.

Various factors, including the user's move-

ment, 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.

13. When you stop exercising, allow the pedals

to slowly come to a complete stop. The ellip-

tical crosstrainer does not have a free

wheel; the pedals will continue to move until

the flywheel stops.

14. After adjusting the incline frame, move it up

or down slightly until the pin on the incline

knob snaps into one of the holes in the

incline bracket. Push the incline knob to

make sure that the pin is fully inserted into

the hole.

15. The decal shown below has been placed on

the elliptical crosstrainer. If the decal is

missing or illegible, please call our Customer

Service Department toll-free at 1-888-825-

2588 to order a free replacement decal.

Apply the decal in the location shown.

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 prob-

lems. Read all instructions before using. ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or

property damage sustained by or through the use of this product.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER

EXERCISING ON THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER

To mount the elliptical crosstrainer, hold the handgrip

pulse sensor 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. Note: The pedal disks can turn in either

direction. It is recommended that you turn the

pedal disks in the direction shown by the arrow

below; however, for variety, you may turn the

pedal disks in the opposite direction.

To dismount the elliptical crosstrainer, wait until the

pedals come to a complete stop. The elliptical

crosstrainer does not have a free wheel; the ped-

als will continue to move until the flywheel stops.

When the pedals are stationary, step off the highest

pedal first. Then, step off the lowest pedal.

HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDALS

The motion of the

pedals is deter-

mined by their

position on the

spring arms.

There are five

different pedal

positions. To

adjust the pedals,

first loosen the

knob beneath

each pedal. Slide

the pedals forward or backward to the desired posi-

tion, and then retighten the knobs. Make sure that

both pedals are in the same position.

HOW TO ADJUST THE INCLINE FRA E

As you exercise on the elliptical crosstrainer, you can

vary the effect of the exercise by raising or lowering

the incline frame. First, position the incline wheels

side by side. Next, pull the incline knob as you lift

the incline frame slightly. Raise or lower the incline

frame to the desired position and then release the

incline knob. ove the incline frame up or down

slightly until the pin on the incline knob snaps

into one of the holes in the incline bracket. Push

the incline knob to make sure that the pin is fully

inserted into the hole.

HOW TO USE THE UPPER BODY AR S

The upper body

arms are

designed to add

upper-body exer-

cise to your work-

outs. As you

exercise, push

and pull the

upper body arms

in order to work

your arms, back,

and shoulders. To

exercise only

your lower body,

hold the handgrip

pulse sensor as you exercise.

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 elliptical crosstrainer

can be changed with the touch of a button. As you

exercise, the console will provide continuous exercise

feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using

the handgrip pulse sensor. Note: For information about

an optional chest pulse sensor, refer to page 20.

The console also offers four preset workout programs.

Each program automatically changes the resistance of

the elliptical crosstrainer and prompts you to increase

or decrease your pace as it guides you through an

effective workout.

In addition, the console features two heart rate work-

out programs that automatically change the resistance

of the elliptical crosstrainer and prompt you to vary

your pace to keep your heart rate near a target heart

rate as you exercise.

The console also features new iFIT.com interactive

technology. Having IFIT.com technology is like having a

personal trainer right in your home. Using the included

audio cable, you can connect the elliptical crosstrainer

to your home stereo, portable stereo, or computer and

play special iFIT.com CD programs (CD’s are available

separately). IFIT.com CD programs automatically con-

trol the resistance of the elliptical crosstrainer and

prompt you to vary your pace as a personal trainer

coaches you through every step of your workout. High-

energy music provides added motivation. Each CD fea-

tures two programs designed by certified personal

trainers.

In addition, you can connect the elliptical crosstrainer

to your VCR and TV and play iFIT.com video programs

(videocassettes are available separately). Video pro-

grams offer the same benefits as iFIT.com CD pro-

grams and allow you to enjoy breathtaking scenery

while you exercise.

With the elliptical crosstrainer connected to your com-

puter, you can also go to our new Web site at

www.iFIT.com and access programs directly from the

internet.
