area. Do not place the treadmill on thick carpet as it may interfere with ventilation.

from injury from moving parts.

• NEVER start the treadmill while you are standing on the running belt. After turning the power on and
adjusting the speed control, there may be a pause before the running belt begins to move. Always stand
