1.  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.
2.  Use the elliptical only as described in this 
manual. 
3.  It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure

informed of all precautions.
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.

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

a controlled way.
14. Keep your back straight while using the ellip-
tical; do not arch your back.
