    WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and 
instructions in this manual and all warnings on your elliptical before using your elliptical. ICON 
assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or through the use of 
this product.
1.  It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure 
that all users of the elliptical are adequately 
informed of all precautions.
2.  Before beginning any exercise program, 
consult your physician. This is especially 
important for persons over age 35 or per-
sons with pre-existing health problems.
3.  Use the elliptical only as described in this 
manual. 
4.  The elliptical is intended for home use only. 
Do not use the elliptical in a commercial, 
rental, or institutional setting.
5.  Keep the elliptical indoors, away from mois-
ture and dust. Do not put the elliptical in a 
garage or covered patio, or near water. 
6.  Place the elliptical on a level surface, with at 
least 3 ft. (0.9 m) of clearance in the front and 
rear of the elliptical and 2 ft. (0.6 m) on each 
side. To protect the floor or carpet from dam-
age, place a mat under the elliptical.
7.  Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-
larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
8.  Keep children under age 12 and pets away 
from the elliptical at all times.
9.  The elliptical should not be used by persons 
weighing more than 250 lbs. (113 kg).
10. Wear appropriate clothes while exercising; 
do not wear loose clothes that could become 
caught on the elliptical. Always wear athletic 
shoes for foot protection while exercising.
11.  Hold the handlebars or the upper body arms 
when mounting, dismounting, or using the 
elliptical.
12. The heart rate monitor is not a medical 
device. Various factors may affect the accu-
racy of heart rate readings. The heart rate 
monitor is intended only as an exercise aid 
in determining heart rate trends in general.
13. The elliptical does not have a freewheel; the 
pedals will continue to move until the fly-
wheel stops. Reduce your pedaling speed in 
a controlled way.
14. Keep your back straight while using the ellip-
tical; do not arch your back.
15. Over exercising may result in serious injury 
or death. If you feel faint or if you experience
