IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

CONTRAINDICATIONS
There are a number of contraindications in the context of the relevant fields of the M5/M5i Strider Elliptical use. In rehabilitation, only the medical staff can determine the form and extent of therapy. Medications can have an influence on the rehabilitation (e.g. neuroleptics, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, anti-epileptics, etc.). In the following cases, M5/M5i Strider Elliptical training may only be carried out after consultation with a doctor:

· Pregnancy · Acute thrombosis · Fresh wounds (e.g. after surgery) · Artificial joints or prosthetics · Bone fractures · Spinal disc damage · Traumatic injury to the spine · Diabetes · Epilepsy · Inflammation

· Acute migraine headache · Chronic illnesses · Cancer · Acute myocardial infarction or unstable angina pectoris
(determined by a stress test) · Cardiovascular diseases e.g. severe high blood pressure
at rest, carditis, congestive heart failure, severe valvular heart disease, dangerous heart arrhythmias at rest, or aortic aneurysm

If the patient is experiencing acute illness, febrile condition (i.e. fever), or newly occurring pain, this represents an absolute
contraindication for physical stress. In such situations, it is necessary to postpone training until the patient’s health has improved sufficiently.

In some situations (especially in patients with coronary heart disease or lung disease) overstraining can lead to an acute intensification of the patient’s symptoms. In such situations, an exercise ECG is essential and training is only possible under
medical supervision.

The use of the automated operation (pulse automatic, preset programs, external control via computer or other device) is prohibited, unless the strain was authorized by a physician in accordance with the patient’s capacity/health.

For applications in endurance training, diagnostics and performance testing of patients, performance diagnostics, and stress tests, the same contraindications apply (among others) as with all physical stress. If there is doubt, it is important that a physician be consulted before using the M5/M5i Strider Elliptical.

(refer to “Base Stabilizer” section below).
· The Handlebar height is properly set (refer to “Handlebar
Height Adjustment Knob” section, page 17).

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and instructions in this manual and all warnings on the Strider Elliptical before operation. Failure to perform the Proper Operation Check prior to operation of the Strider Elliptical will void your warranty and could result in serious injury.

TRANSPORT
To position the Strider Elliptical at the desired location refer to Figure 5 and follow the instructions below:
Be sure there is a minimum of 24 inches (610 mm) free space for the Strider Elliptical on all sides before placement.
1. Grasp the Stationary Handlebar with both hands. 2. Tilt the Strider Elliptical toward you until the Transport
Wheels contact the floor. 3. Roll the Strider Elliptical to the desired location; tilt it slowly
away from you to set down.

BASE STABILIZER
The Strider Elliptical must be placed on a flat, level surface. If the sub- floor is not level, the Base Stabilizer allows for stabilization.
To stabilize the Strider Elliptical, refer to Figure 6 and follow the instructions below:
1. Hold the Handlebar steady, then with your foot, swipe the Base Stabilizer counter-clockwise to drive it back into the base. This will un-stabilize the Strider Elliptical.
2. Slightly push across the Handlebar, until the Base Feet at all three corners contact the floor, then hold.
3. With the three Base Feet making contact with the floor, swipe the Base Stabilizer clockwise with your foot until the Base Stabilizer makes contact with the floor. This will stabilize the Strider Elliptical.
Test for stability — The Strider Elliptical should sit flat without rocking. Adjust and fine-tune the Base Stabilizer as needed.
NOTE: The Strider Elliptical should not be used until it is stabilized. If the Strider Elliptical is moved to a different location, adjust the Base Stabilizer as needed to stabilize the Strider Elliptical.

RESISTANCE LEVER
Resistance is controlled by the Resistance Lever, refer to Figure 7. The Resistance Lever can be set to any gear from 1 to 24. The higher the gear number setting, the greater the resistance.

Resistance Lever Gear 1 to 24

Emergency Brake Gear 88

EMERGENCY BRAKE
Move the Resistance Lever to the most forward position to engage the Emergency Brake, refer to Figure 7. This will stop the motion of the Flywheel within one revolution. Wait until the Handles and Footpads come to a complete stop before dismounting.
HANDLEBAR HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT KNOB
The Handlebar Height Adjustment Knob allows for the vertical adjustment of the Handlebar in 1/2 inch (13 mm) increments. To set the Handlebar height, refer to Figure 8 and follow the instructions below:
1. Loosen the Adjustment Knob by turning it counterclockwise 1/4 to 1/2 turn.
2. Pull the Knob outward and hold with one hand. 3. With your other hand, slide the Handlebar to the desired
position. 4. Release the Adjustment Knob. Ensure it locks into the
desired position hole. 5. Turn the Adjustment Knob clockwise until it is hand- tight
to secure the Handlebar.
To reduce the potential for muscle strain, set the Handlebar so that the horizontal grip is generally at elbow height when standing on the Footpads. Fine-tune handlebar height for comfort.
FLYWHEEL AND FIXED GEAR SYSTEM
The Strider Elliptical is not designed with a freewheel, but a fixed gear system. The Handles, Footpads, and Crank Arms are attached by linked components that cannot be disengaged.
When the Flywheel is pedaled into motion, the Footpads– including the Handles–will also be in motion. For this reason, always keep your feet on the Footpads and your hands on the Handles/Handlebar while the Flywheel is in motion.
The Crank Arms can turn in either direction. It is recommended that you turn the Crank Arms in the forward direction, as shown by the arrow in Figure 9.
Pedaling at high speeds or in the reverse direction are considered advanced techniques, and should only be performed when the user has reached an advanced level or under supervision by a person that has reached an advanced level.
