CHAPTER 1: Important Notifications

DO NOT SKIP THIS SECTION!
Like running and cycling, riding an ElliptiGO® elliptical
bicycle involves a real risk of serious injury, maiming and
death. Each time you ride your ElliptiGO cycle, you are
assuming this risk. We cannot stress enough how important
it is to wear a helmet and proper clothing, know and follow
the rules of the road, ensure your bike is in good working
order before and during your ride, and to use caution when
riding. To help minimize your risk of injury when riding your
elliptical bicycle it is critical that you read and understand
the contents of this manual and become familiar with
operating and maintaining your bike before you head out
on the road.*
To highlight some of the most important safety concerns,
this manual contains many "Warnings", "Cautions" and
"Alerts" which are set out conspicuously in the manual.
Safety Warning
The following symbol:
together with the word WARNING!), calls attention to a
potential hazard that, if not properly addressed or avoided,
could cause serious injury or death.
Safety Caution
The following symbol:
together with the word CAUTION!), calls attention to a
potential hazard that, if not properly addressed or avoided,
could cause property damage or an injury.
WARNING! (the safety designator
CAUTION! (the safety designator
Damage Alert
The designation ALERT! calls attention to a situation
which, if not properly addressed or avoided, could cause
serious damage to your ElliptiGO bike and/or void your
warranty.
As you will see, most of the Safety Warnings and Cautions
contained in this manual relate to conditions that could
result in the rider losing control of the ElliptiGO bike and
suffering a fall. Every fall, regardless of the associated
speed or cause, can result in serious injury or death for the
rider, and injury to bystanders and property. As a result, a
warning that indicates the rider may lose control and fall if
a situation is not properly addressed or avoided may not
also state that the resulting fall can cause serious injury
or death. You should understand that this fact is always
implied by the possibility of falling.
* No manual can address all of the potentially hazardous
situations that could arise when riding a bike. As a result,
we cannot provide guidance on how to safely ride the
ElliptiGO bike in every circumstance. There are many
unpredictable and unavoidable risks that are inherent
in the sport of cycling. By choosing to ride a bike, you
are voluntarily exposing yourself to these risks and are
responsible for that choice.
