WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read

all important precautions and instructions in this manual and all warnings on your elliptical before

using your elliptical. FreeMotion Fitness 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. Keep the elliptical indoors, away from mois-

ture and dust. Do not put the elliptical in a

garage or covered patio, or near water.

5. 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.

6. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-

larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

7. Keep children under age 12 and pets away

from the elliptical at all times.

8. The elliptical should not be used by persons

weighing more than 400 lbs. (181 kg).

9. 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.

10. Hold the handlebars or the upper body arms

when mounting, dismounting, or using the

elliptical.

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. Keep your back straight while using the

elliptical; do not arch your back.

14. Over exercising may result in serious injury

or death. If you feel faint, if you become short

of breath, or if you experience pain while

exercising, stop immediately and cool down.
