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

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

a controlled way.

tical; do not arch your back.
