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
in-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 age 12 and pets away
from the elliptical crosstrainer at all times.

athletic shoes for foot protection.

as an exercise aid in determining heart rate
trends in general.

to slowly come to a complete stop. The ellip-

after use and before cleaning the elliptical
crosstrainer.

the elliptical crosstrainer. If the decal is
missing or illegible, please call our Customer
