IMPORTANT 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

home use only. Do not use the elliptical

crosstrainer in a commercial, rental, or insti-

tutional 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 properly tighten all parts regu-

larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

6. Keep children under 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 clothes when

using the elliptical crosstrainer. Always wear

athletic shoes for foot protection while exer-

cising.

9. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor or the han-

dlebars when mounting, dismounting, or

using the elliptical crosstrainer.

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 crosstrainer; do not arch your back.

12. If you feel pain or dizziness while exercis-

ing, stop immediately and begin cooling

down.

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. Always unplug the power cord immediately

after use and before cleaning the elliptical

crosstrainer.

15. The decals shown below have been placed

on the elliptical crosstrainer. If a decal is

missing, or if it is not legible, please call our

Customer Service Department toll-free at

1-800-999-3756 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.

any slack. While holding the Upper Wire Harness,

insert the Upright into the Frame (1). Do not pinch

the Wire Harnesses.

Slide an M10 Split Washer (70) and a Frame Spacer

(83) onto an M10 x 85mm Button Screw (63). Insert

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER

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 crosstrainer 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 outlet box covers

are not grounded. Contact a qualified electrician to

determine if the outlet box cover is grounded

before using an adapter.

HOW TO EXERCISE 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. Then, 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 can turn the pedal

disks in the opposite direction.

To dismount the elliptical crosstrainer, wait until the

pedals come to a complete stop. Note: 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.

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.
