use only. Do not use your elliptical exerciser
in a commercial, rental, or institutional set-
ting.

4. Keep your elliptical exerciser indoors, away

from moisture and dust. Place your elliptical
exerciser on a level surface, with a mat
beneath it to protect the floor or carpet.
Make sure that there is enough clearance
around your elliptical exerciser to mount,
dismount, and use it.

larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

ciser. Always wear athletic shoes for foot
protection.

elliptical exerciser; do not arch your back.

Various factors, including the user’s move-

stop immediately and cool down.

remove the cover or the back of the televi-
sion. There are no user serviceable parts
inside. Refer servicing to qualified service
personnel.

16. To protect the treadmill and TV during light-

ning storms, unplug the power cord from the
wall outlet and disconnect the cable system.
This will prevent damage due to lightning
and power line surges.

17. Upon completion of any service or repairs to

the treadmill or the television, ask the ser-
vice technician to perform safety checks to
confirm that  the unit is in proper operating
condition.
