WHEN USING ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT, ALWAYS
FOLLOW THESE BASIC PRECAUTIONS:
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The following defi nitions apply to the words “Danger” and “Warning”
found throughout this manual:
Used to call attention to IMMEDIATE hazards which,
if not avoided, will result in immediate, serious
personal injury or loss of life.
Used to call attention to POTENTIAL hazards that
could result in personal injury or loss of life.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
THE MACHINE.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always unplug
the external power supply from the electrical outlet
before cleaning, maintaining, or repairing.
To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, or injury
to persons:
Read this manual in full before operating the elliptical. Failure to
follow these guidelines can produce a serious or possibly fatal
electrical shock hazard or other serious injury. Consult a qualifi ed
electrician as required.
1. The external power supply should always be unplugged from the
AC wall outlet before removing or installing parts. Never make
adjustments or repairs while an exercise program is in progress.
2. Close supervision is necessary whenever the machine is used by
or near children, invalids, or disabled persons.
3. Keep your hands away from all moving parts and keep your feet on
the pedals while exercising. Do not operate the machine with the
side covers removed, or outdoors.
4. Use this machine only for its intended use as described in this
Manual. Do not use parts, attachments, or accessories other than
those provided by Nautilus Inc.
5. Do not use the external power supply if it has a damaged cord or
plug, it is not working properly, if it has been dropped or damaged,
or dropped in water. Contact our Technical Service Department to
arrange for the return of damaged parts.
6. To avoid potential safety and electrical problems, replace with
manufacturer’s specifi ed parts only.
7. Connect the external power supply to a properly grounded AC wall
outlet. Keep all cords away from heated surfaces. To disconnect
the external power supply, remove the plug from the AC wall
outlet.
8. Do not let liquid enter the console. If it does, the console must be
inspected and tested for safety by an approved technician before
it can be used again.
9. Never drop or insert any object into any opening on the machine.
Keep the area underneath and around the machine clear.
10. Do not operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used.
11. Always wear insulated gloves when handling batteries.
12. Do not crush, incinerate, or dismantle the battery. The electrolyte
contains sulfuric acid, which can cause serious damage to eyes
and skin. Should this occur, fl ush profusely with water and seek
medical attention.
The safety level provided by the design of this equipment can only be
maintained when the equipment is regularly examined for damage
and wear. Inoperable components should be replaced immediately or
the equipment be put out of use until it is repaired. Failure to follow
the guidelines may compromise the effectiveness of the exercise
experience, expose you (and possibly others) to injury, and reduce
the longevity of the machine. Follow all training instructions listed in
the manual and/or on the machine. Physical injury may result from
incorrect or excessive training.
Failure to follow the conditions set forth below shall limit, to the
extent allowed by law, Nautilus, Inc. responsibility for the safety,
reliability, and performance of this equipment.
• The operator manual must be read in full by each owner and
trainer before the product is fi rst used. Each user must be
instructed in the proper use of the elliptical and its accessories.
• The equipment must be used in accordance with the instructions
for use.
• Only Nautilus®-trained or Nautilus®-authorized personnel should
carry out assembly operations, extensions, readjustments,
modifi cations, or repairs.
• For further information or instruction on use, maintenance or
specifi cations, please contact your Authorized Nautilus® Fitness
Dealer or Service Technician.

SAFE OPERATION
General Guidelines For Safe Operation
1. Obtain a complete physical examination from your medical doctor and enlist a
health/fi tness professional’s aid in developing an exercise program suitable
for your current health status.
2. When working out for the fi rst time, use the MANUAL exercise program at
the lower levels until you feel comfortable and capable of higher workloads.
3. The intensity and duration of your exercise program should always be subject
to how you feel. Never permit peer pressure to override your personal
judgment while exercising.
4. Overweight or severely deconditioned individuals should be particularly
cautious when using the machine for the fi rst time. Even though such
individuals may not have histories of serious physical problems, they may
perceive the exercise to be far less intense than it really is, resulting in the
possibility of overexertion or injury.
5. Although all equipment manufactured by Nautilus, Inc. has been thoroughly
inspected by the manufacturing facility prior to shipment, proper installation
and regular maintenance are required to ensure safety. Maintenance is the
sole responsibility of the owner.
Moving Your Machine
This machine is heavy and requires two people to safely move from one location
to another. To move, have two people lift up the front end of the machine until
the transport wheels are in contact with the ground. The machine can now be
rolled on the transport wheels. Note: The transport wheels are intended for
indoor use only and should never be rolled on concrete or asphalt surfaces.
WARNING
THESE GUIDELINES ARE
DIRECTED TO YOU, AS THE
OWNER OF THE MACHINE.
YOU SHOULD INSIST THAT
ALL USERS FOLLOW THE
SAME GUIDELINES.
WARNING!
Do not begin an exercise
program without fi rst
consulting a physician.
WARNING!
If at any time during your
workout you feel chest pain,
experience severe muscular
discomfort, feel faint, or
are short of breath, stop
exercising immediately. If
the condition persists, you
should consult your medical
doctor immediately.
WARNING!
Secure long hair and loose
clothing before use.
