IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be taken, including the following:

Read all instructions before using the Elliptical Fitness Crosstrainer (EFX). These instruc- tions are written to ensure your safety and to protect the unit.

Before beginning any fitness program, you should obtain a complete physical examination by your physician.

Il est conseillé de subir un examen médical complet avant d’entreprendre tout programme d’exercise. Si vous avez des étourdissements ou des faiblesses, arrêtez les exercices immédiatement.

DANGER

To reduce the risk of electrical shock always unplug the Elliptical Fitness Crosstrainer from the electrical outlet immediately after using and before cleaning.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, take the following precau- tions:

When it is plugged in, do not leave the EFX unattended. Unplug the unit from the power source when it is not in use, and before putting on or taking off parts.

Close supervision is necessary when the EFX is used by or near children, invalids, or disabled persons.

Use the EFX only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use accessory attachments that are not recommended by the manufacturer—such attachments might cause injuries.

Never operate the unit if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped or damaged, or dropped in water. Return the EFX to a service center for examination and repair.

Keep the power cord and plug away from heated surfaces.

Never drop or insert objects into any opening. Keep hands away from moving parts.

Do not use outdoors.

Do not operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being administered.

To disconnect, turn the power switch to the OFF (O) position, then remove the power plug from the wall outlet.
