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. Use the ellipti-

cal exercise only as described in this

manual.

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 institu-

tional 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, dis-

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.

cising.

9. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor or the han-

dlebars when mounting, dismounting, or

using the elliptical exerciser.

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 determin-

ing heart rate trends in general.

11. Keep your back straight when using the ellip-

tical exerciser; do not arch your back.

12. If you feel pain or dizziness while exercising,

stop immediately and cool down.

ing or illegible, call the telephone number on

the front cover of this manual and order a

free replacement decal. Apply the decal in

the location shown.

included hex keys, assembly requires a phillips screwdriver , an adjustable

wrench , and a rubber mallet .

below each drawing is the key number of the part, from the PART LIST on pages 28 and 29. The second number

is the quantity needed for assembly. Note: Some small parts may have been pre-assembled. If a part is not

in the parts bag, check to see if it has been pre-assembled.
