SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Location of the Elliptical
Before assembling the unit, verify the chosen site meets the following criteria:
•
Area is well lit and well ventilated.
•
Surface is structurally sound and properly leveled.
•
Free area for access to the unit and emergency dismount. Minimum clearance is 24 inches (0.6
meters) on the sides of the unit and 78.7 inches (2.0 meters) behind the unit.
•
Adjacent units may share the free area.
•
Place in a location away from direct sunlight. The intense UV light can cause discoloration on the
plastics.
•
Locate your elliptical in an area with cool temperatures and low humidity.
•
Do not install, use or store the elliptical in an area of high humidity, such as in the vicinity of a steam
room, sauna, indoor pool, garage, covered patio, near water or outdoors. Exposure to extensive water
vapor, chlorine and/or bromine could adversely affect the electronics as well as other parts of the unit.
The below minimum spacing recommendations are based on a combination of the ASTM (U.S.) voluntary standards and
EN (European) regulations as of October 1, 2012, for access, passage around, and emergency dismount:
ASTM standards are voluntary and may not reflect current industry standards. The actual area for access, passage
around, and emergency dismount is the responsibility of the facility. The facility should consider the total space
requirements for training on each unit, voluntary and industry standards, and any local, state, and federal regulations.
Standards and regulations are subject to change at any time.
Careful consideration should be given to the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), US Code 28 CFR
(
see Section 305
).
In compliance with the ADA (American Disabilities Act) there must be clear floor space of at least 30 inches by 48 inches
and be served by an accessible route for at least one of each type of exercise equipment. If the clear space is enclosed
on three sides (e.g., by walls or the equipment itself), the clear space must be 36 inches by 48 inches.
Important:
These spacing recommendations should be used when positioning equipment away from sources of
heat, such as radiators, heat registers, and stoves. Avoid temperature extremes.
