IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
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. Hotel
Fitness and FreeMotion Fitness assume no responsibility for personal injury or property damage
sustained by or through the use of this product.
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 that all users of the elliptical are ade-
quately informed of all precautions.
4. Keep the elliptical indoors, away from mois-
ture and dust. Do not place the elliptical in a
garage or covered patio or near water.
5. Place the elliptical on a level surface. To
protect the floor or carpet from damage,
place a mat beneath the elliptical. Make sure
that there is 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.
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 350 lbs. (159 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.
10. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor or the han-
dlebars when mounting, dismounting, or
using the elliptical.
11. Keep your back straight while using the
elliptical; do not arch your back.
12. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors, including the userʼs move-
ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
readings. The pulse sensor 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. Over exercising may result in serious injury
or death. If you feel faint or if you experi-
ence pain while exercising, stop
immediately and cool down.
15. Do not modify the power adapter or use an
adapter to connect the power adapter to an
improper receptacle. Keep the power
adapter away from heated surfaces. Do not
use an extension cord.
