I PORTANT 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 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

in-home use only. Do not use the elliptical

exerciser in a commercial, rental, or institu-

tional setting.

4. Place the elliptical exerciser on a level sur-

face, with a mat beneath it to protect the

floor or carpet. Keep the elliptical exerciser

indoors, away from moisture and dust.

5. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-

larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

6. Keep children under age 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.

8. Wear appropriate exercise clothing when

using the elliptical exerciser. Always wear

athletic shoes for foot protection.

9. Always hold the handlebars when mounting,

dismounting, or using the elliptical exerciser.

10. Keep your back straight when using the ellip-

tical exerciser; 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 exerciser does not have a free wheel;

the pedals will continue to move until the

flywheel stops.

after use and before cleaning the elliptical

exerciser.

15.The decal shown below has been placed on

the elliptical exerciser. 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.

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.

5. Slide a Weld Spacer (119) onto the axle on the left

side of the Upright (2), with the open side of the Weld

Spacer facing the Upright. Apply a small amount of

grease to the axle.

Apply a small amount of the included Teflon®lubricant

to a paper towel. Rub a thin film of the lubricant onto

one of the Upper Body Legs (31). Insert the Upper

Body Leg into one of the Upper Body Arms (118) as

shown. Hold the Upper Body Arm with one hand, hold

6. Look inside one of the Handlebar Covers (26) and

locate the square tabs connecting the two halves.

Gently lift the tabs and disconnect the halves.

Hold the two halves of the Handlebar Cover (26)

around the tube on the left side of the Upright (2). Align

the halves and press them together until they lock.

Attach the other Handlebar Cover (26) to the right side

of the Upright (2) in the same way.

Hold the halves of the Upper Handlebar Cover (25)

around the tube on the front of the Upright (2); be

careful not to damage the Wires (not shown).

Attach the Upper Handlebar Cover with an M4 x 12mm

Round Head Screw (96).

10. ake sure that all parts of the elliptical exerciser are properly tightened. Cover the floor beneath the

elliptical exerciser to protect the floor from damage. Note: Some extra hardware may be left over.

The elliptical exerciser is now fully assembled. If you have purchased the optional chest pulse sensor

(see page 21), refer to page 9 of this manual.

7. Apply a liberal amount of grease to the long side of

each M8 x 79mm Bolt Set (65).

Identify the Left Pedal (10), which has a notch near

the right side. Place the Left Pedal on the Left Pedal

Leg (4). Have a second person hold the bracket on the

left Upper Body Leg (31) inside of the bracket on the

Left Pedal Leg, and hold a Wheel (28) inside of the

bracket on the left Upper Body Leg.

Align the indicated holes, and attach the Left Pedal

(10), the left Upper Body Leg (31), and the Wheel (28)

to the Left Pedal Leg (4) with an M8 x 79mm Bolt Set

(65). Attach the other end of the Left Pedal to the Left

Pedal Leg with two M8 x 54mm Button Screws (83).

Repeat this step on the right side of the elliptical

exerciser.

Next, locate the two ground wires that are attached

with a screw to the Upright (2). Connect the ground

wires to the two smallest wires on the Console.

Carefully insert all excess wiring up into the Console

(17) and down into the Upright (2). Attach the Console

to the Upright with four M4 x 16mm Screws (98).

the chest pulse sensor, attach the receiver to the two

plastic posts (not shown) inside the access opening in

the back of the Console (17).

3. Connect the wire on the receiver to the indicated wire

on the Console (17). Make sure that the connectors on

the wires snap together. Discard the other wires includ-

ed with the chest pulse sensor.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

This product

must be

grounded.

If it should

malfunction

or break

down,

grounding

provides a

path of least

resistance for

electric

current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This prod-

uct is equipped with a cord having an equipment-

grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug the

power cord into an appropriate outlet that is prop-

erly 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 GFCI-

equipped outlets.

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.

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.

Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in

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

let box covers are not grounded. Contact a quali-

fied electrician to determine if the outlet box cover

is grounded before using an adapter.

Note: When the power cord is plugged in, the ellip-

tical exerciser’s incline system may automatically

calibrate itself. During the calibration process, two

dashes (– –) will appear in the left display of the

console and the ramp will move to the highest

position and then return to the lowest position.

The calibration process will last for one to two

minutes.

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.

To dismount the elliptical exerciser, wait until the ped-

als come to a complete stop. The elliptical exerciser

does not have a free wheel; the pedals will contin-

ue to move until the flywheel stops. When the ped-

als are stationary, step off the highest pedal first.

Then, step off the lowest pedal.

DANGER:Improper connection of

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 qual-

ified electrician.
