exposed  to  colder  temperatures  or  high  moisture  climates,  it  is  strongly  recommended  that  the  elliptical  is 

warmed up to room temperature before first time use. Failure to do so may cause premature electronic failure.

To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electrical shock or injury to persons:

WARNING

Connect this exercise product to a properly grounded outlet only. See  grounding 

instructions.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be grounded. If a elliptical should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path 

of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This product is equipped with 

a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an 

appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a 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 

qualified electrician.

This  product  is  for  use  on  a  nominal  110-volt  circuit 

and has a grounding plug that looks like the illustration 

to the right. This product must be used on a dedicated 

circuit. To determine if you are on a dedicated circuit, 

shut off the power to that circuit and observe if any other 

devices lose power. If so, move devices to a different 

circuit. 

Note

: There are usually multiple outlets on one 

circuit.  It  is  recommended  that  the  elliptical  be  used 

with a 15 amp circuit for optimal performance.
