HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD This product

must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break

down, grounding

provides a path of least resistance for electric current to

reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug the power cord into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit. Important: The elliptical exerciser is not compatible with GFCI- equipped outlets.

DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in an increased risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product—if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qual- ified electrician.

A temporary

available. The temporary adapter should be used only

until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a

qualified electrician.

 

 

The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending

from the adapter must be connected to a permanent

ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.

Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in

place by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle out-

let box covers are not grounded. Contact a quali-

fied electrician to determine if the outlet box cover

is grounded before using an adapter.

tion. Then,

 

 

 

step onto the other pedal. Push the pedals until they

begin to move with a continuous motion. Note: The

crank arms (inside of the side shields) can be

turned in either direction. It is recommended that

you turn the crank arms in the same direction that

you pedal a bicycle; however, for variety, you can

turn the crank arms in the opposite direction.

To dismount the elliptical exerciser, wait until the ped- als come to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical exerciser does not have a free wheel; the pedals will continue to move until the flywheel stops. When the pedals are stationary, step off the highest pedal first. Then, step off the lowest pedal.
